A definition: Health and Fitness Writing 

Health is a term that refers to a combination of the absence of illness, the ability to cope with everyday activities, physical fitness, and high quality of life. In any organism, health can be said to be a "state of balance," or analogous to homeostasis, and it also implies good prospects for continued survival. Wellness is a term sometimes used to describe the psychological state of being healthy, but is most often used in the field of alternative medicine to describe one's state of being.

• Fitness competition, a form of physique competition for women, related to bodybuilding 
• Fitness (biology), an individual's ability to propagate its genes (Source: Fitness: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
