The Chinese word 健身 (jìshēn) is composed of two characters: 健 (jiàn), meaning "healthy" or "strong", and 身 (shēn), meaning "body". Together, they form the compound word 健身, which literally means "to strengthen the body" or "to keep fit".The character 健 (jiàn) is composed of two parts: the radical 力 (lì), meaning "strength", and the phonetic component 建 (jiàn). The radical 力 indicates that 健 is related to the concept of strength, while the phonetic component 建 suggests its pronunciation.The character 身 (shēn) is composed of two parts: the radical 肉 (ròu), meaning "flesh" or "body", and the phonetic component 身 (shēn). The radical 肉 indicates that 身 is related to the concept of the body, while the phonetic component 身 suggests its pronunciation.When combined, the characters 健 (jiàn) and 身 (shēn) form the compound word 健身 (jìshēn), which means "to strengthen the body" or "to keep fit". This word is often used in the context of exercise, fitness, and health.
