What is Physical Fitness?

Physical Fitness (P.F.) is a physical state that helps us look good, feel good, and do our best

P.F. helps us:

1) do our daily work with energy to spare

2) increase our stamina and endurance

3) cope with stress

4) lead to increase chance of success in whatever you pursue

5) have a healthier and more enjoyable life

Physical Fitness involves the performance of:

the lungs heart muscles of the body

"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.“

Benefits of Physical Activity

Increases in strength and enduranceReduces Premature DeathHelps Control WeightReduces risk of heart disease, high blood

pressure, colon cancerReduces depression and anxietyPromotes psychological well-beingDecreases national health care costsPromotes psychological well-being

Resting Heart Rate

Resting heart rate: should be monitored during a “resting” state. For example, while sitting, lying down, etc. It should be taken on the neck or wrist (left side—on the heart side) using your index and middle finger.

FYI: Normally well conditioned athletes have lower resting heart rates than sedentary people due to more efficient hearts

8

Resting Heart Rates

This count tells you how many times your heart is beating when you are at rest - sitting NOT exerting yourself.

There are two common places to take your pulse:

On your carotid artery (on the side of your neck)On your radial artery (on your wrist)

Taking Your Pulse

Correct

Use Fingers

Incorrect

Do Not Use Thumb

The two most common places to find your pulse are diagramed below.

Carotid Pulse Radial Pulse

11

Maximum Heart Rate

Your true MHR is the highest pulse rate you can attain during all-out effort. Remember, this number is an estimate.

To calculate: subtract your age from 220

12

Target Heart Rate

Target Heart Rate: this is the heart rate that is recommended to exercise at to burn the most fat.

To calculate:220- AGE= maximum heart rate

Target Heart mate = 60-80% of the maximum heart rate

13

Body Types

It is important for you to know why you appear as you do. People have different body types due to the specific genetic makeup they inherited from their parents and grandparents. Body types describe differences in individuals. Your body type is called your SOMATOTYPE.

It is important to be realistic about how you expect your bodyto look based on the SOMATOTYPE you have been given.

Although you may not like what you have genetically inherited, you need to remember that it will have certain limiting factors for you. You do have the ability to make decisions that can make positive changes to your body.

Endomorph

Endomorphic Body Type: soft body underdeveloped muscles round shaped

15

Mesomorph

Mesomorphic Body Type: hard, muscular body mature appearance rectangular shaped

16

Ectomorph

Ectomorphic Body Type: thin flat chest delicate build young appearance lightly muscled

TRAINING PRINCIPLES…

Before you learn about training principles, it is important that you understand the general muscles that are involved with most workout plans.

18

Muscular System

Deltoid

Biceps

Quadriceps

Rectus Abdominus

Pectorals

External Obliques

19

Muscular System

Trapezius

Lattissimus Dorsi

Gluteals

Triceps

Hamstrings

Gastrocnemius

Training Principles:

How you do your exercises is as important as what exercises you do. Effective training is based on the F.I.T.T. Formula:

Frequency

Intensity

Time

Type

21

F.I.T. T.

1) Frequency:this is how often you exercise. You should

workout 3-5 times a week with one or two days between sessions. Frequency of your workout often depends on your goals and the type of activity you do. To maintain your fitness level, you need to train at least Three times per week.

22

F.I.T.T.

2) Intensitythis is how hard you work and is measured by

heart rate. Use your target heart rate as a guideline to structure your workout intensity.

Doing too much too soon is harmful and can cause chronically sore muscles.

23

F.I.T.T.

3) Time Slowly build up the amount of time you spend

doing aerobic activityWorkout for a minimal of 20 to 30 minutes in

order to achieve an adequate training effect. Longer more intense workouts may provide more noticeable results.

24

F.I.T.T.

4) Type:What is your goal?Build your workout

routine around that!

25

Aerobic Activities

Any activity that uses large muscle groups, is rhythmic in nature and needs a steady supply of oxygen. Aerobic activities are longer, low intensity activities. Examples include swimming, running, dancing, biking, low impact aerobics, speed walking, cross country skiing

FYI… Low impact means that there is a minimal amount of bouncing around and avoid putting unnecessary strain on the joints--one foot is always on the ground

26

Anaerobic Activity

This includes short bursts of activity in which the muscles work so hard that they produce energy without using oxygen.

The activity is performed at a pace which uses oxygen faster than the body can replace it. Example: 100 meter sprint, lifting weights

27

The 3 Components of Training

There are three phases that should be included in all workouts:1) Warm-up--a light jog and a few stretches

prevents injuries2) Training period--minimum of 20 minutes3) Cool down-- walking, stretches, some light

exercises--heart rate should be below 100

28

Training for Muscular Strength and Endurance

Training for general muscular conditioning should be done with a moderate amount of repetitions and minimum resistance

Training for muscular strength (DEVELOP MUSCLES)= high resistance and low repetition

Training for muscular endurance (TONE MUSCLES) = low resistance and very high number of repetitions

29

Cross Training

Most people find it useful to use several different types of exercise to vary their routine.

Cross-train by choosing alternative activities that work different muscle groups. By working different muscles and joints with different activities, you can gain more benefit from your sessions while avoiding repeated strain.

Fitness is a way of Life…

An important point to consider as you begin fitness training, is to establish the proper behavior patterns and techniques. If you lay a firm foundation for fitness, it will stay with you for the rest of your life.

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going ~Jim Ryun
