What do we do that will improve “Body Composition” What is lean tissue? Muscles Bones Proper Nutrition & Exercise Cardio-respiratory Endurance Cardio = heart Respiratory = lungs Definition: the ability of the heart and lungs to work efficiently for a long period of time What is the “work” that the heart and lungs do? What is the Work that the Heart and Lungs do? Pump oxygen to the working muscles Muscle Strength The power to push, pull or lift Heavy weights Just a few times In the weight room, to develop strength, lift heavy weights 48 repetitions Muscle Endurance In The ability of the muscles to work over a long period of time the weight room, lift lighter weights for 12 – 25 repetitions Aerobic activity will build muscle endurance as you repeat muscle action over a long period of time Flexibility The ability of the joints to move through the full range of motion Flexibility increases with stretching! Principles of Fitness Principles of Fitness Specificity Principles of Fitness Overload Principles of Fitness Progression Principles of Fitness Specificity Overload Progression Principle of Specificity Different exercises put different demands on your system You must do specific activities to build specific parts of physical fitness Principle of Progression The best benefits of exercise are gained when starting slowly and gradually increasing the amount over a period of time. Principle of Overload This is the basis for improving fitness! Overload is a GOOD thing! The principle says that in order to get fit, you must increase what you are doing over the every day level of activity. Principles of Fitness Specificity Overload Progression Principles of Fitness Frequency Principles of Fitness Specificity Overload Progression Intensity Principles of Fitness Specificity Overload Progression Time Principles of Fitness Specificity Frequency Overload Intensity Progression Time Frequency How often you should work out For example: Do you jazzercise 2, 3 or 4 times per week? Intensity How hard you should work In the weight room, intensity is measured by the amount of weight you are lifting. In an aerobic activity, intensity is measured by your heart rate. Time How long (or duration) you should work out Apply the Principles of Fitness to see your fitness level improve!!
