Motivation and inspiration are two elements that encourage a person to stay fit. Health organizations are now focusing towards promoting healthy wellness and fitness among people by promoting happy life. A happy person is believed to be self motivated.

Happiness is one of the factors which promote fitness. Fitness is not only about being physically fit, it also has to do a lot with mental and emotional fitness. A person who appears to be fit but is sad in life and have stress can't be called fit.

These days, the health organizations are working towards promoting overall fitness of a person. A leading health organization, IDEA, has even launched a special program entitled "Exercise Your Happiness".

Last year, various definitions of happiness were issued in the IDEA Fitness Journal. In the journal, various experts expressed their point of view about happiness. Previous studies have showed that happiness affects health and quality of life. A happy person tends to recover from illness quite earlier and also has lesser chances of falling ill. People have been advised to stay happy in order to keep themselves fit. These days, growing tension at workplace has caused stress. Happiness can help people in overcoming work related stress.
