Fitness Trackers
The feature on the Garmin watches that tracks your energy level.
Bonus 50: What three features are used to calculate this.
Body Battery.
How: Body Battery is a feature that uses a combination of heart rate variability, stress, and activity to estimate a user’s energy reserves throughout the day.
Name 5 recovery products we sell.
Theragun/Hypervolt, Foam Rollers, Protein, Amino Acids, Massage Stick, Muscle Hook, Massage Ball, etc.
What does HIIT stand for?
High Intensity Interval Training. Often used to describe a type of exercise in a high intensity for 1-5 minutes with a short amount of rest.
Name the two muscle fibers in the body.
Slow Twitch and Fast Twitch.
Slow-twitch muscle fibers support long distance endurance activities like marathon running, while fast-twitch muscle fibers support quick, powerful movements such as sprinting or weightlifting.
About how many calories are in one pound of fat?
Around 3,500 calories.
Calorie Deficit- Burning more calories than you eat.
The three types of sleep stages that is tracked with the sleep feature.
Light Sleep: Eye movements and muscle activity begin to slow down as the body prepares for deep sleep.
Deep Sleep: Eye and muscle movements stop completely. Heart rate and breathing slow down. This stage can be referred to as restoration mode, where the body will recover, building bone and muscle, and boosting your immune system.
REM Sleep: Also referred to as the dream stage, brain activity is almost as active as when you are awake. REM sleep is important for forming memories and processing information.
3 main benefits of a percussion gun.
Increase blood flow, decrease muscle soreness, and increase flexibility.
High-intensity exercise can cause tiny, microscopic tears in your muscle fibers. Your body responds to this damage by increasing inflammation, which may lead to a delayed onset of soreness in the muscles.
Flexibility or limberness refers to the anatomical range of movement in a joint or series of joints, and length in muscles that cross the joints to induce a bending movement or motion.
Massage facilitates circulation because the pressure created by the massage technique actually moves blood through the congested areas. The release of this same pressure causes new blood to flow in.
Explain what is happening to your body when you lift weights and after.
Intense lifting causes several microscopic tears to form in the fiber and connective tissue of muscles. As the body rebuild its muscles, it also increases muscle size, strength and capacity. Ordinarily, old tissue is discarded before new tissue is synthesized. The digestion of protein provides the raw material that can be used to synthesize new muscle.
What is the main difference between aerobic and anerobic exercise?
Aerobic- A type of physical activity that increases your HR and promotes delivery of oxygen throughout your blood to increase the strength of your heart, lungs, and cardiovascular system.
Anaerobic Exercise- Anaerobic exercise occurs in the cells of the body without oxygen. These types of exercise are usually performed at a high intensity and low duration.
What is the difference between mobility and flexibility?
Mobility- is the ability of a joint to move activity through a range of motion.
Flexibility- is the ability of a muscle to lengthen.
Define Heart Rate Variability.
The variation in time between consecutive heartbeats is referred to as heart rate variability, or HRV.
What does DOMS stand for?
Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is muscle pain that begins after you've worked out. It normally starts a day or two after a workout.
Name 8 exercises you can perform with weights we offer.
Bicep Curls, Tricep Extensions, Squats, Upright Rows, Bent Over Rows, Calf Raises, Shoulder Press, Flys, Bench Press, Incline Bench Press, Shoulder Shrugs, Lunges, Weighted Ab Crunches, Kettle Bell Swings, Medicine Ball Slams, etc.
The overload principle is the bodies adaptation achieved by increasing stress on the body's muscles over a long period of time.
How do you estimate your maximum age-related maximum heart rate?
Subtract your age from 220. For example, for a 41-year old person, the estimated maximum age-related heart rate would be calculated as 220-41 years= 179 beats per minute (bpm).
Target Heart Rate- Your target heart rate is a range of numbers that reflect how fast your heart should be beating when you exercise.
The maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during peak exertion is?
VO2 Max.
The more oxygen your body can process during exercise the more efficient you will be.
