Endurance, which is a measure of your cardiovascular fitness, is the ability of your heart and lungs to adequately supply oxygen enriched blood to your working muscles. By improving your endurance, your muscles more efficiently use oxygen to generate movement. Have you ever climbed a flight or several flights of stairs and felt out of breath at the top? Well, that was a test of your cardiovascular fitness.
