36. Muscular Strength Activities Do these activities a minimum of 2 days per week Do strengthening activities on nonconsecutive days Use resistance or weight to maximize strength development

37. The Benefits of Muscular Strength Reduces the risk of injury Improves posture Improves physical performance Improves body composition Slows bone loss as we age Increases bone formation in young adults Inverse relation between risk of all-cause mortality

38. Muscle Tag Objective: To learn the major muscle names and their location on the body. Upper Body Muscles Deltoid Latissimus Dorsi Pectoralis Abdominals Obliques Biceps Trapezius

39. Lower Body Muscles Quadriceps Gluteus Maximus Hamstrings Gastrocnemius

40. Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Aerobic Exercise : The body uses oxygen to create energy. The oxygen is needed to break down glucose. Glucose is the fuel needed to create energy. Examples: running, brisk walking, jogging, swimming Anaerobic Exercise : The body creates the energy without oxygen. Examples: weight lifting, sprinting, any exercise with resistance

41. On Your Feet! Time for “Toss Up Some Physical Activity”

42. The Desk Workout! Leg Extension: Extend your leg out in front of you, flex the foot, lift the leg, then lower it slowly. Writing the Alphabet: Lift the leg out parallel to the floor.
