What training should I be doing? There are three different types of training/exercise that you can be doing. The three types are cardiovascular training, resistance training, and flexibility training. Cardiovascular training is your body's ability to get oxygen and blood to the muscles. When doing a type of training called cardio you use the cardiovascular system. You use cardio and training to better your cardiovascular system. There are three types of training low intensity that uses 40% - 60% of your maximum heart rate, medium intensity that uses around 70% of your maximum heart rate, and high intensity that uses 80% to 85% of your maximum heart rate. It is recommended that you should do a minimum of 150 minutes per week. Next is resistance training, and resistance training is exercising a specific muscle group with body weight, free weights, weight machines, or resistance bands. Lastly is flexibility training and flexibility training is the movement of your joints in a full range of motion. This would include yoga and other movements to help with flexibility. There are all types of training you should be balancing between and doing all of. How do I assess my health? There are multiple factors that work together to assess health. These are weight, resting heart rate, blood pressure, body max index, and circumference measurements. You should put all of these things together to assess your health.
