9. FITT Frequency How often you exercise Exercise 5 times a week DO NOT leave all exercise for weekend Could lead to injury Intensity How hard you exercise Enhanced performance Make your body do more than it normally does Talk test vs. sing test Target heart rate zone

10. Learning Log-Target Heart Rate Find resting heart rate (RHR) Male- (220-age) Female- (226-age) Subtract RHR Multiply by.6 and.8 Add RHR to both numbers Learning Log Calculate a target heart rate for a 55 year old man with a resting heart rate of 85. A 28 year old woman with a resting heart rate of 70 Your own

13. FITT Time How long 60 minutes a day Beginners 10-15 minute chunks More advanced 20-30 minute chunks Type What kind Specificity Exercises correspond with goals Cross-training Walking & biking Football & weight training Dance & gymnastics

14. Monitor Progress “Even if you are on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.” Will Rogers Make a chart Write down everything you do If it wasn’t written down, it didn’t happen! Significant changes within 12 weeks Look better Sleep better Feel more alert Gained muscle Lost weight Drop in resting heart rate

18. Workout Performing activity at peak level 20-30 minutes for cardiorespiratory 30-45 minutes for muscular strength & endurance Follow FITT principle to be effective Cardiorespiratory and muscular strength same day Lower numbers Cardiorespiratory and muscular strength different days Higher numbers DO NOT work same muscles 2 days in a row Muscles need an entire day to recover

19. Cooling Down & Stretch 5 to 10 minutes of mild exercise after workout Blood pooling, not returning to heart & brain Dizzy and faint Static stretching for 5-10 minutes Loosens muscles that tightened during exercise Helps prevent muscle soreness DOMS-delayed onset muscle soreness Cardiorespiratory and muscular strength same day About 70 minutes Cardiorespiratory and muscular strength different days About 70-85 minutes
