FIVE COMPONENTS OF FITNESS
• Cardiovascular Endurance (heart and lungs)
• Flexibility (range of motion in the joints)
• Muscular Strength (how much)
• Muscular Endurance (how long)
• Body Composition (Proportion of fat tissue to lean)
BRUCE LEE
• Died in 1973 at age 32
• Transcended Martial Arts and Film
• Jeet Kune Do

PHYSICAL
• Makes physical activity easy to perform (and much more pleasant)
• Promotes rest, relaxation, sleep, and healing
• Aids in weight control• Contributes to nutritional health• Enhances disease resistance• Strengthen accident resistance
MENTAL EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL
• Helps resist depression and anxiety
• Defense against stress
• Allows freedom from drug abuse
• Self-esteem
• Instills joy in life
• Inspires courage to face challenges
SOCIAL
• Provides social opportunities
• Encourage citizenship
• Enhances energy for productive work
SEDENTARY

Physically inactive (literally sitting down a lot)AKA “COUCH POTATOE”
• 1996 study said 60% of Americans don’t exercise regularly
• 2002 70% did not participate in regular exercise (moderate for 20 min 5 days a week or heavy for 30 min 3 for 3 days)
• Exercise need not be strenuous -Take walks or do something you like-Don’t compare yourself to others-Start Small

EXERCISE
• Conditioning- the many changes that cells make in response to physical activity that make the body more able to do the work at hand
• Overload- an extra demand placed on the body

PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD PRINCIPLE
• How to get in shape– Frequency (how often)– Intensity (how much) run vs a jog– Duration (how long)

NO PAIN NO GAIN!
• Misconception
• Start slow and do what you can
• Sustained effort keeps you in shape
• What kind of shape do you want to be in?

CARDIOVASCULAR
• Ability of the heart and lungs to sustain effort over a long period of time
• Aerobic- with O2
• Anaerobic- without O2
CARDIO ENDURANCE
• Blood Volume ^• Blood carries more o2• The heart gains size• Fewer beats needed• Pulse rate slows• Breathing becomes more efficient• Blood move through the system easier• You get Lean

THE HEART
• Pulse rate- heart beats per min
-70 per= young adult
-If you are in good shape it can be as low as 50 per min
• Target Heart Rate- Fast enough to push the heart but not enough to strain it (level 1 and 2)
TARGET HEART RATE
• 220- your age = Max heart rate(220-16=204)
• Target Heart Rate= 204 X .75 = 153 beats per min
• If you do this for 20 to 30 min 3 times a week this is considered to be regular exercise
CARDIO ACTIVITIES
• Should be steady and constant
• Use of large muscles
• Longer than 20 minutes
• Should be able to converse during your workout
FLEXIBILITY
• Elasticity- tissues being easily stretched or bent return to normal size shape
• Connective tissue- fluid, gelatin-like, fibrous, or strap-like materials that bind, support, or protect other body tissues
-Cartilage- cushions bone on bone areas
-Tendons- holds muscle to bone
-Ligaments- hold bone together
RANGE OF MOTION
• The mobility of a joint; direction and the extent to which it bends
• If your joints are flexible they will bend and move as it is designed to do without tearing and breaking in response to sudden movements
• There is athletic movement to be found• Improves strength and balance (squats)• Improves speed
STRETCHING
• Static- holding and not moving for 10 to 20 sec.
• Ballistic- Moving while stretching• You should do both• Don’t pull on cold muscles• Don’t push too far• Yoga is a great way to get flexible while
working on core strength and muscle endurance

MUSCLE STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE
• Repetition- one complete range of motion• Set- specific number of times to repeat a
weight-training exercise• Endurance- less weight and more reps or
holding isometric exercises (max reps)• Building strength- more weight and less reps
RIPPED OR SIZE?

• More size- More weight less reps (sets of 3 and at the most 10 reps)
• Chiseled- more reps per set (at least 12 and up to 20)
• Steroids- natural hormones found in the body which promote muscle growth (can be found in drug form to shortcut muscle growth)
• Ergogenic- a term that claims to mean “work-enhancing” In fact, no products enhance the ability to do work.
