Target heart rate-Range of beats per min at which you should work at in order to best achieve aerobic fitness. This rate is typically between 60%-80% of your MHR
Examples
Examples
Examples
Free weights, weight machines, medicine balls, and more!
Static Stretching-Used on muscles that are tight
Self-Myofascial Release-Used on tight muscles to release tension
Resistance Training-Exercising a specific muscle/group of muscles against an external resistance.
Resistance Training-Exercising a specific muscle/group of muscles against an external resistance.
Cardiovascular fitness-Body's ability to get oxygen and blood to the muscles
Maximum heart rate (MHR)-Theoretical number of beats, per min, that your heart is capable of producing.MHR=220-Age
When assessing your health and fitness levels, two types of assessments are used; Subjective/Objective.
Subjective Assessments-Identify goals someone has, like eating habits/health conditions that may affect physical activity and the amount of physical activity currently preformed
Body Mass Index
Health and Fitness
Circumference Measurements
Objective assessments are quantitative measures and include:
Resting Heart Rate (RHR)
Blood Pressure
Weight
Objective Assessments-Unbiased form of information about physical aspects of ones' health
Gradually increasing/changing in order to continue to improve your fitness level.
The amount of "FITT" just depends on the type of activity you are doing whether it's cardiovascular, resilience, or even flexibility!
Principles of Progression
When a workout starts to feel to easy, that's an indication for you to progress your workout in some way.
Recommended Amount of Cardiovascular Fitness Exercise:F: 3-4 times/weekI: Target Heart Rate ZoneT: 30-60 minType: Any aerobic activity that keeps your heart in the THR zone.
Your body will adapt to meet the specific demands you place on it!
Placing a greater demand, or stress, on your body, in order to improve your fitness level.
Principles of Overload
Principles of Specificity
Example: If you want to improve your pectoral muscles, you must preform activities that will activate your pectorals.
Example:You want to gain more biceps; You must gradually increase the amount of weight you are lifting
