Let's Get Physical
These are three reasons to workout
(Any three) improve cardio health, weight control, improve flexibility & muscular strength, improve appearance, improve self-esteem, increase productivity, socialize, improve mental awareness, handle stress, endorphin spike, decrease fatigue and improve sleep, accomplishment
How often you do a workout
Frequency
force the muscle can exert
Muscular strength
this type of calorie balance leads to weight loss
A calorie deficit
the primary energy source of your body’s cells and organs
Glucose
Any form of movement that causes your body to use energy
Physical Activity
The specific exercises you are doing
Type
move body through a full range of motion
Flexibility
this type of calorie balance leads to weight gain
A calorie surplus
working the body harder than it is normally worked
Overload
preparing the muscles to work
Warm-up
How long each workout session lasts
Time
complete tasks overtime without fatigue
Muscular endurance
the process of getting energy from food
Metabolism
gradual increase in overload necessary to achieve higher level of fitness
Progression/progressive overload
the ability to carry out daily tasks easily and have enough reserve energy to respond to unexpected demands
Physical fitness
Intensity
heart, lungs, and blood vessels ability to deliver fuel and oxygen to tissue
Cardio-respiratory
activity that uses large muscle groups, is rhythmic in nature, and can be maintained continuously for at least 10 minutes three times a day or for 20-30 minutes at one time
Aerobic
the stored form of glucose in your body
Glycogen
a lifestyle that involves little physical activity
Sedentary lifestyle
This is what FITT stands for
Frequency, intensity, time, type
ratio of body fat to lean body tissue
Body composition
intense bursts of activity in which the muscles work so hard that they produce energy without using oxygen
Anaerobic
your body’s ability to switch smoothly between burning carbs (glucose) and fats for energy
Metabolic flexibility
