reasoning Fitness Challenge: 90 Days to convert

Fun or Fitness

I have read hundreds of examples recently where habitancy have taken a 90 day challenge to improve the bodily fitness and I love it! What better way to get in bodily shape than partner with a society of like-minded individuals? However, with all the focus on a bodily challenge, aren't habitancy missing out on two other key aspects of fitness - the mental and spiritual sides?

If habitancy are going to challenge themselves anyway, why not set in motion a 90 day total mental fitness challenge? Work on all three areas of life by improving one's physical, mental, and spiritual sides. For example, just as flabby muscles must be worked out in order to tone and strengthen, so too does flabby thinking. In fact, if anything, flabby mental can have more disastrous effects in a person's life than flabby muscles. Therefore, if a man is investing power for 90 days anyway, then make it a total transformation, not just a bodily one.

A person's thought life changes when he begins to feed on a steady diet of safe bet books, audios, and relationship with others who do the same. Indeed, I know of no other operation than can turn a person's life as fast as changing his associations. Birds of a feather, in other words, do flock together. My good friend, the late Charlie "Tremendous" Jones, used to say, "Five years from now you will be pretty much the same as you are today except for two things: the books you read and the habitancy you get close to" It was eighteen years when I first heard Charlie's words and took his advice. It changed everything.

Fitness experts say that 85% of bodily fitness is in proper dieting. I believe the same principle holds true for mental and spiritual dieting as well. Tell me the thought diet a man routinely feeds his mental and spiritual sides and I can fairly accurately predict his five year future. Success is that predictable; however, it isn't that easy.

Why not? Because the right habits, although easy to do, are also easy not to do. Left to themselves, most habitancy will select the path of least resistance, which means chronic in their bad habits rather than changing. The good news, however, is that through associating with others in a 90 day challenge, a man can leverage the society to help drive his personal change. In essence, society is the difference between good intentions and good results. Many will give up on themselves, but fewer are willing to give up on others who are counting on them.

Fortunately, it only takes three steps for a man to turn everything:

1. Construct a proper diet for the food and thoughts entering his body and mind.

2. Make commitments to himself and others to consequent the new diet for 90 days.

3. Enunciate relationship with others who have committed to do the same thing.

There it is. A recipe for success in any area of life. It's been said that a man changes when the pain of staying the same or the joy of changing becomes big enough. Eighteen years ago, I took Charlie "Tremendous" Jones up on his mental fitness challenge and it has made all the difference for me. I share this with the readers to encourage them in the three step process for real change. Are you ready to take the mental fitness challenge?

Jogging Bad For Weight Loss and Fitness? Yes!

Fun or Fitness

Why Jogging Is Bad For Weight Loss And Fitness

Drive down any scenic road on a weekend morning, and you're likely to see more joggers than scenery. You might feel jealous at how fit and energetic they look, and perhaps even a twinge of shame as you look down at the box of donuts in the seat next to you which was your purpose for being out this beautiful morning.

But are your feelings of jealousy and shame justified? Should it be you out there in high end cool running gear jogging along to shed some pounds and get more fit?

After a truthful analysis, we think you'll agree the literal, rejoinder is No, that should not be you. Why?

Because Jogging is Bad for weight loss and fitness.

While you surely should be looking for ways to lose weight and become more fit, millions of people are doing more harm than good selecting jogging as their form of exercise. Can millions of people be wrong? Well, grab a donut, read on and settle for yourself.

First A Few Definitions

Ok, let's be clear who and what we are talking about with some definitions:

Jogger - person who runs 1 hour per workout session at a pace of 5 miles per hour (12 minutes per mile). Since many joggers keep a faster pace than that. We will also address "Runners" who keep an 8 mile per hour pace (under 8 minutes per mile). These definitions are in case,granted by the Mayo Clinic Weight Loss Website.

Weight Loss - The losing of weight per your scale or your clothes feeling more loose. Sorry, buying new, larger clothes does not qualify under this definition (be great if it would, eh?).

Fitness - There are many ways to define fitness. We have chosen one that hopefully matters to the most people: A person's farranging bodily health measured by their ability to successfully accomplish a wide range of functional tasks.

Why Jogging Is Bad For Weight Loss And Fitness - The Evidence
Caloric Deficit

You will likely outeat the fat you burn while jogging or running

According to the Mayo Clinic, a 160 pound person who jogs for an hour will burn 584 calories. A 160 pound runner ramps up the fat burned in an hour to 986. If you weigh more you burn more calories, if you weigh less you burn less. Many people don't jog for an hour per workout, but we want joggers to have a opening at success here so we'll pretend they all do.

In order for our jogger to lose weight as a direct succeed of this workout they will need to ensure they do not eat more fat than the 584-986 they just burned. This is what's called the "caloric deficit" and it's probably the most widely acceptable and proven recipe to weight loss.

How realistic is that? Not very. An hour of any rehearsal tends to generate a pretty serious appetite at some point later that day (which would be the worst time to eat it by the way), let alone the feeling of "entitlement" that comes from a workout well done. So most joggers (from here send when I say joggers I am along with "runners" unless noted) are going to head out for a nice meal to celebrate their efforts. A meal that will have much higher fat than what they would eat if they didn't jog.

But does it well take a huge meal to make jogging or running a net loser for weight loss? The Power Bar you eat right before the run has 230 calories, that bagel with the cream cheese "schmear" you eat with your running group after the run has 400 or more calories, as does One decent sized slice of pepperoni pizza you've well earned. If you settle to splurge on dessert because you jogged today, any decent one will well add 500 or more calories. We won't even mention the join extra beers or glasses of wine...oops, guess we just did!

So it's a good bet that joggers and even runners will add sufficient fat to their diets on rehearsal days to outeat what they just burned, which at best will be a breakeven, and very often will generate a net caloric (as in Weight) Gain.

But we are not stopping there. What about on those days you don't jog? How many people are well that disciplined to cut back on their eating since they won't be burning those further calories? More often, you hear "I'll run this off tomorrow" as they head back for seconds on the pasta. So, now the growth in fat caused by jogging on workout days leads to more fat on non workout days, further increasing weight gain.

We assert this is how Most people carry on their eating, which means most joggers are gaining weight as a succeed of their jogging efforts.

To be fair, there are a take few people who do carry on their fat more effectively than outlined above-- we have a name for those people - "The 2% club": The 2% of people who successfully assert a low calorie diet. While members of the 2% club can generate a caloric deficit by jogging, it still will not be a necessary deficit, and more importantly 2% Clubbers Don'T Need To Jog To Lose Weight because they are successfully dieting!

Muscle Catabolism

You will well lose muscle while jogging, especially since jogging does not involve your upper body in any meaningful way.

A "catabolic state" refers to the state in which your body is burning protein for its nutritional needs. A catabolic state is one you'd like to avoid as it means you are burning muscle to generate energy for your rehearsal efforts. Yet joggers and runners are putting their bodies in this state every time they work out.

When you jog you are using your leg muscles which gives them a infer to grow stronger. That's good, but to jog for an hour your body needs to find energy, and low intensity activities like jogging for an hour will need to way energy from all potential sources which comprise fat and muscle.

Here's a easy question: What does jogging do to advantage your upper body? easy answer: Nothing. So along with the fat you want to burn, your body is burning muscle as part of it's energy to let you do your jogging workouts. And, where is it most likely to "catabolize" this muscle? From your upper body where it's not being used and therefore not needed.

And while jogging can give you stronger legs, a weak upper body is harmful to fitness as defined at the start of this essay. This is one example of how jogging harms your fitness. There's more to come.

Most joggers and runners become aware of this and start doing upper body resistance training such as weight lifting to prevent muscle catabolism. That's a well good idea, but that's not jogging for fitness is it? No, that's having to do More rehearsal to offset the negative effects of jogging!

Plus, studies indicate that every pound of muscle on your body takes 3 to 10 times more fat to preserve than fat, so allowing any muscle catabolism means you are well slowing your metabolism throughout the day. Slower metabolism does not sound like a good thing for whether weight loss or fitness does it?

Again, the devil's advocate will want to argue that joggers can minmize muscle catabolism without supplemental rehearsal by using Target Heart Rate Training. Basically, this involves exercising at a rate below your "target" heart rate to encourage more fat burning. So now we are jogging slower which means we are burning fewer fat which harms our caloric deficit. This makes weight loss even more difficult. Now we're confused. What's the most sufficient way to jog again? Do we jog faster and burn more fat or jog slower and save more muscle?

Adaptive Response

Your body will adapt to the challenge of jogging fairly quickly, thus development it progressively harder to lose weight or become more fit. Once your body adapts to jogging you enter a "death spiral" of needing to run further or faster or both to see any further improvement.

Adaptive response is just a fancy way of saying that your body will do it's best to adjust to whatever level of rehearsal you are trying to do. It will "adapt". This is why it's a lot easier to complete the 1 hour jog after you have done it 10 times than it is the first time you try it.

But when it comes to weight loss, adaptive response is exactly what you don't want. It means your body has reached a state where jogging is no longer a challenge, and because you are now capable of handling the task at hand, there is no infer to drop any further fat or add any more muscle. In addition, your metabolism has a similar adapative response. You will be doing the same exercise, but whatever metabolic benefits you were getting will continue to decrease the better you get at it. You might think of this situation as a "plateau".

As adaptive response makes your runs less and less sufficient from a fitness, metabolic and weight loss standpoint, joggers are left with 2 choices: run faster or run farther to give your body a new challenge that it needs to heighten upon in order to adapt. Running faster or farther is not necessarily a bad thing, but it dramatically increases your chances of injury and also starts to take an excessive estimate of time to accomplish an sufficient workout. Plus it's Hard. A much harder jog (or run) that lasts a lot longer increases your chances of giving up on your jogging program. And if you do give up jogging because it becomes too much work to see any results, you are at risk of necessary weight gain without an even more restrictive diet.

Bottom line, your adaptive response to jogging has a safe bet aspect in that it's good for your ability to jog (not necessarily for your farranging fitness--see Practical Applications), but it's Bad for your weight loss efforts, and it creates a never ending "death spiral" of harder, longer jogs or harder, faster runs that most people will have problem staying with due to injury or lack of motivation.

Injuries And Other health Issues

Jogging's repetitive request for retrial over long periods of time makes joint injuries very likely. Other injury and health concerns come from the adaptive response death spiral mentioned above, running in traffic and in inclement weather.

Pavement is hard and unforgiving. Your legs pounding against it for thousands of steps per jogging session can cause serious short term and long term injuries to your joints and muscles.

Sure, there are good running shoes that can help prevent injuries, but sooner or later you're bound to injure a knee or ankle or even worse, a hip while jogging.

There's also the issue of running on the roads with automobile traffic which has been known to cause serious injury or even death. That cannot be thought about a plus for joggers.

And, the sheer distance of jogging, a repetitive request for retrial for 1 full hour, increases the opening of a range of injuries like shin splints or a range of foot problems versus shorter forms of rehearsal due to muscle fatigue.

There's more. Observation must be given to the health and protection risk of running in inclement weather. Jogging in extreme heat or cold, rain, snow or worst of all icy conditions greatly increases the risk of injury or an illness that makes you miss workouts for a short period of time or perhaps something worse.

Of policy the treadmill offers a viable explication to many of these issues, but not all of them. And many joggers insist on jogging outdoors throughout the year. When they do, the risk of injuries and other health connected issues is very real and should be thought about in an appraisal of the benefits of jogging.

Practical Applications

Jogging has few practical applications. Jogging is not a good form of training for most other activities -- except for more jogging. Plus, the loss of upper body muscle and lower body joint problems that often succeed from jogging can well decrease your farranging fitness level.

Remember our definition of fitness: A person's farranging bodily health measured by their ability to successfully accomplish a wide range of functional tasks.

We would have to concede jogging could heighten your abilities at the following activities:

1) More Jogging
2) Basketball - well not well the sprinting up and down the court to be competitive, but you can jog down to set up a half court play with the best of them.
3) Football - Jogging from the huddle to the line of scrimmage.
4) Baseball - Jogging to the dugout with a beer in your hand at your weekly softball league.

Umm, that's all we can think of. The rest of the activities in the above sports and many others like skiing, tennis and golf need power (both muscle and joint), the ability to use your body at full speed, as well as hand eye coordination, none of which are helped by jogging.

The fact that jogging has no practical applications as cross training for any other sport makes it a lot of time spent for very puny benefit, except of policy for #1 above--more jogging. This is especially true when you assess jogging to other rehearsal alternatives like power training, and interval training. You can spend a lot less time exercising and become more sufficient at performing all sorts of other sports and activities. This in turn offers you more opportunities to have fun and heighten your fitness. Does developing your jogging skills help you with any other activities or tasks you like to do?

The Verdict?

Based upon the wonderful evidence outlined above, the verdict is Jogging is a Bad rehearsal for weight loss and fitness. Running for an hour at a faster pace does offer safe bet advantages over jogging but still ends up a net negative for weight loss and fitness when all the factors are considered.

Sunday Driving

So, the next time you head out for weekend donuts you can smile at thin or fit looking joggers, because now you know they didn't get that way by only jogging. And when you get home, grab a maple custard (my favorite!) and spend 30 minutes studying weight loss and fitness plans that work on enhancing your body's metabolism to solve the caloric deficit question because there are much better ways than exercising endlessly and cutting calories. Also, a good fitness plan should put in order you for a wide range of tasks and activities.

If you study hard and plan correctly, your rehearsal program should only take half the time the joggers spend but will take you much further down the road to weight loss and fitness.

We hope you do your homework and find the plan that's right for you because being happy with your weight and fitness is a great feeling that every person should enjoy.

Golf Fitness Exercises For Women Golfers

Fun or Fitness

Golf fitness exercises can be beneficial for the woman golfer in terms of enhancing the foundation of the swing, rotation in the backswing, speed improvement in the downswing, and a consistent conclude position. Learn how golf fitness exercises can benefit the woman golfer. Lowering scores and development the game more enjoyable.

It is well known in professional golf how integral golf fitness exercises are for success at the top levels. Men on the Pga Tour and women on the Lpga Tour understand the benefits of golf fitness exercises in achieving success. Exterior the circles of professional players many questions exist about golf fitness exercises. Questions such as; what are the best exercises to enhance golf fitness levels, are flexibility exercises and stretches best than other forms of golf fitness exercises, and what are the benefits of golf fitness exercises for the woman golfer?

These and many questions surround the topic of golf fitness. This article is to furnish some answers for you on the topic of golf fitness exercises for woman. It has been well documented in magazines and television how Lpga women such as Annika Sorenstam utilize fitness programs to benefit their play on the course. Is there a distinction in the middle of the Lpga player and the amateur woman in relation to golf fitness training? The respond is no. Yes, the women on the Lpga Tour are the best women golfers in the world, but the physiology of the Lpga player and amateur are the same. The skeletal, muscular, and neural systems are the same. The professional player has the same whole of muscles in their bodies as the amateur. The woman's professional player has the same skeletal structure as the female amateur, and nervous theory as well. Granted the Lpga player has more refined and efficient swing mechanics, but the body is the same.

As a consequent of the body being the same, the theory and structure of a golf fitness schedule for any woman is similar. Before discussing the specifics of a schedule for women it is vital to understand a few leading principles. The first principle to understand about a fitness schedule is sports specific. Sports exact is a term describing the type of training utilized in a golf fitness program. Sport exact training plainly states the schedule utilized by the woman athlete is geared towards enhancing them in their chosen sport.

A second principle closely associated to sports exact training is cross specificity training. Cross specificity training is the utilization of exercises to create the woman golfer in the positions, movements, and actions incorporated in the golf swing. The goal of cross specificity training is a change of training consequent to the field of competition. plainly stated, a change of training consequent is the quality of exercises utilized to train the female golfer having a direct benefit on their doing on the course.

For example, golf flexibility exercises will exertion to enhance the flexibility within the player. As the player improves their flexibility parameters in relation to the swing. She may be able to generate a bigger shoulder turn, which may increase the distance of her drives. This benefit is an example of a change of training consequent onto the golf course. In summary, the three theory that assist in the improvement of a golf fitness schedule for women are; sports specific, cross specificity training, and change of training effect. Many added theory exist that are used as guidelines in the improvement of a fitness program, but these are three vital ones.

Outside of the guidelines governing the improvement of a golf fitness schedule for woman. exact corporal components within the body are needed within the body to execute the golf swing correctly. Remember, it is the body performing the biomechanics of the swing. In order for the swing to be executed correctly and efficiently sure levels of flexibility, balance, strength, endurance, and power are required. These are the actual corporal components within the golfer a fitness schedule looks to create and enhance in relation to the golf swing.

The swing requires the body to move straight through a long range of appeal for an efficient movement to occur. Much of this is contingent upon the quality of the core to coil and uncoil during the swing. In order for these two biomechanical actions to occur efficiently, the improvement of allowable flexibility in the core is necessary.

We utilize flexibility exercises that are cross-specific to the movements in the swing to create flexibility. The majority of these flexibility exercises are rotational and dynamic.

The swing is a dynamic movement, indicating that the body is in constant motion. It is crucial to create a range of appeal in a dynamic rather than a static (not moving) method. The goal of these exercises is to generate a range of appeal in the core for the golf swing. Flexibility is the first corporal component requiring improvement within the woman golfer.

One needs to maintain, dynamically, a garage body throughout the entire swing. We have all hit balls at the range and know what happens when we do not stay balanced during the swing. enhancing the balance and stabilization capabilities of the core translates into a best golf swing. best balance equals a best Swing. Even subtle movements are consistency killers; thus we need to create and contend balance for a consistent swing.

Balance is associated to the efficiency of the nervous theory and force of the muscular theory working together. The improvement of greater balance in the core and swing is the consequent of two types of exact exercise. The first challenges the nervous theory creating greater efficiency. The second are exercises that generate increased force in the core. The aggregate of these two types of exercises permit for the body to contend posture, promote efficient weight transfer, and generate power in the swing. The consequent is a more consistent, accurate, and noteworthy swing. This is the second component included with a golf fitness program.

Remember that the golf swing is a repetitive movement. The mechanics of the swing repeat with each stroke. This process can be repeated hundreds of times in a round of golf. Ever go to the range and hit two buckets of balls? At some point the body starts to tire, and shots scatter.

Proper endurance training enables us to repeat a sound swing. We furnish this straight through a series of exercises developing endurance in the entire body. This nets us a consistent swing straight through eighteen holes. Addition endurance leads to lower scores. This is the third corporal component of the golf fitness schedule for women.

Club head speed is a function of power. The more power generated by the body, the greater speed at which a club head impacts the ball. More power to the ball equals longer drives. Developing higher levels of power within the muscular theory of the body is achieved straight through the implementation of power exercises. These types of exercise assist in creating higher power outputs of the muscles complex in the golf swing. Power training is the final component found in a golf fitness schedule for women.

In summary a golf fitness schedule for the Lpga or amateur woman golfer is relatively the same. Golf exercises for the woman golfer are sports specific. The exercises are cross-specific to the movements, positions, and requirements of the swing. The exercises within a woman's golf fitness schedule induce a change of training consequent onto the course. The swing requires sure levels of flexibility, balance, strength, endurance, and power to execute correctly. A golf fitness schedule for women will look to enhance these corporal components of the body. The end consequent is an improved swing equating to lower scores and more enjoyment on the course.

8 Key Training law For Fitness and Sports Training

Fun or Fitness

The 8 Training theory are research-based guidelines that can help you accelerate your training enlarge and optimize your results. Knowing how to apply these theory gives you an educated basis on which you can make informed decisions about designing your fitness or sports training program. The theory can also help you rate the merits of fitness tool and personal training services.

All of the theory complement each other. For best results, they should be applied in concert throughout every phase of training.

1. Principle of Specificity suggests that your body will make adjustments agreeing to the type of training you perform and in the very same muscles that you exercise. How you train determines what you get.

This principle guides you in designing your fitness training program. If your goal is to improve your farranging level of fitness, you would devise a well-rounded program that builds both endurance and farranging body strength. If you want to build the size of your biceps, you would increase weight loads on bicep curls and connected exercises.

2. The Principle of Overload implies that you must continually increase training loads as your body adapts over time. Because your body builds and adjusts to your existing training regimen, you must gently and systematically increase your work load for continued improvement.

A commonly appropriate guideline for weight training is to increase resistance not more than 10% per week. You can also use percentages of your maximum or estimated maximum level of performance and work out within a target training zone of about 60-85% of maximum. As your maximum performance improves, your training loads will increase, as well.

3. The Principle of rescue assets that you must get sufficient rest in the middle of workouts in order to recuperate. How much rest you need depends upon your training program, level of fitness, diet, and other factors.

Generally, if you perform a total body weight workout three days per week, rest at least 48 hours in the middle of sessions. You can perform cardio more often and on successive days of the week.

Over time, too puny rescue can consequent in signs of overtraining. Excessively long periods of rescue time can consequent in a detraining effect.

4. The Principle of Reversibility refers to the loss of fitness that results after you stop training. In time, you will revert back to your pre-training condition. The biological principle of use and disuse underlies this principle. Simply stated, If you don't use it, you lose it.

While sufficient rescue time is essential, taking long breaks results in detraining effects that may be noticeable within a few weeks. Necessary levels of fitness are lost over longer periods. Only about 10% of impel is lost 8 weeks after training stops, but 30-40% of endurance is lost in the same time period.

The Principle of Reversibility does not apply to skills. The effects of stopping custom of motor skills, such as weight training exercises and sport skills, are very different. Coordination appears to store in long-term motor memory and remains nearly perfect for decades. A skill once learned is never forgotten.

5. The Principle of distinction implies that you should consistently change aspects of your workouts. Training variations should all the time occur within ranges that are aligned with your training directions and goals. Varying exercises, sets, reps, intensity, volume, and duration, for example, prevents boredom and promotes more consistent correction over time. A well-planned training program set up in phases offers built-in variety to workouts, and also prevents overtraining.

6. The Principle of exchange suggests that workout activities can improve the performance of other skills with tasteless elements, such as sport skills, work tasks, or other exercises. For example, performing explosive squats can improve the vertical jump due to their tasteless movement qualities. But dead lifting would not exchange well to marathon swimming due to their very separate movement qualities.

7. The Principle of Individualization suggests that fitness training programs should be adjusted for personal differences, such as abilities, skills, gender, experience, motivation, past injuries, and bodily condition. While normal theory and best practices are good guides, each person's unique qualities must be part of the exercise equation. There is no one size fits all training program.

8. The Principle of balance is a broad plan that operates at separate levels of salutary living. It suggests that you must enounce the right mix of exercise, diet, and salutary behaviors. Falling out of balance may cause a variety of conditions (e.g., anemia, obesity) that work on condition and fitness. In short, it suggests all things in moderation.

If you go to extremes to lose weight or build fitness too quickly, your body will soon respond. You could contact symptoms of overtraining until you perform a salutary training balance that works for you.

For fitness training, balance also applies to muscles. If opposing muscles (e.g., hamstrings and quadriceps in the upper legs) are not strengthened in the right proportions, injuries can result. Muscle imbalances also conduce to tendinitis and postural deviations.

Keep these 8 Training theory in mind as you found and carry out your fitness training program. They can help you make wise exercise decisions so you can perform your goals more swiftly with less wasted effort.

Dance Fitness Shoes - choosing a Shoe For Zumba Class

Fun or Fitness

One of the most often asked questions I get as a Zumba instructor is concerning the type of shoe to wear. Zumba is a cardio exercise class that combines both dancing and fitness moves. A regular dance shoe will not have the shock absorption for the impact of exercise, and an athletic shoe that is strictly for training may not have the lightness and movement capabilities needed for dancing.

The write back is to get a dance-fitness or dance-aerobic shoe. With the increased popularity in dance-fitness classes such as cardio salsa, hip-hop fitness and Zumba, the shoe manufacturers have come out with a great assortment of aerobic type training shoes geared to the dance-fitness enthusiast. These shoes have multi-directional reserve and very slight tread on the sole. They are lightweight and make it easy to pivot and glide across the floor.

When choosing the right shoes for your feet, read the reviews or descriptions online. If you have a wide foot, narrow foot, or high arch, for example, there may be a brand of shoe that is better excellent for you. Nike and Ryka brands have a popular choice of dance aerobic shoes to pick from.

Adding a well-cushioned insert to the shoe will make it much more comfortable. Take out the insert that the shoe comes with and place in one that is designed specifically for cross training or aerobics. Replacing the inserts often will extend the life of the shoe itself.

Athletic shoes should be substituted every 3 to 6 months, depending on how much mileage you put on them. When you feel your knees and legs begin to ache after exercise it could mean that it is time to get a new pair of shoes.

In summary, the best shoe for a dance-fitness class is one that is lightweight, supportive and has slight tread on the sole. Find one specifically made for dance-fitness or dance aerobics. When you are wearing the right shoes you will have a better exercise experience, you will stick to your exercising and you will have more fun.

In its simplest terms, bodily fitness is to the human body what fine-tuning is to an engine. It enables habitancy to achieve up to their potential. Regardless of age, fitness can be described as a condition that helps individuals look, feel and do their best. Thus, bodily fitness trainers, review it as the ability to achieve daily tasks vigorously and alertly, with left over power to enjoy leisure-time activities and meet accident demands.

In order for one to be thought about physically fit, the heart, lungs, and muscles have to achieve at a safe bet level for the individual to continue feeling capable of performing an activity. At the same time, since what humans do with their bodies directly affects the state of mind, fitness influences to some degree qualities such as mental alertness and emotional expression.

Physical fitness is often divided into the following categories in order for habitancy to be able explore its components or parts. Particularly, bodily fitness is judged by:

1. Cardiovascular endurance: This is the ability of the body to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues and to take off wastes over sustained periods of time.

2. Muscular vigor & endurance: vigor deals with the ability of the muscle to exert force for a brief time period, while durableness is the ability of a muscle, or group of muscles, to keep repeated contractions or to continue to apply force against an inert object.

3. Flexibility: This denotes the ability to move joints and use muscles straight through their full range of motion.

4. Body composition: thought about as one of the components of fitness, combination refers to the body in terms of lean mass (muscle, bone, vital tissue, and organs) and fat mass. Actually, the optimal ratio of fat to lean mass is an indication of fitness. Performing the right set of exercises can help habitancy get rid off body fat and growth or allege muscle mass.

The Five Components of condition related Fitness

Fun or Fitness

In order to properly design a fitness agenda we must first understand the five components of health-related fitness. These are:

1: Cardio respiratory durableness - the body's ability to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs and the ability to use them over sustained periods of time. This component is graphic during long-distance running or swimming.

2: Muscular power - the ability of your muscles to exert force. This component is graphic when lifting or curious heavy objects such as doing a weightlifting workout.

3: Muscular durableness - the ability of your muscles to exert force or to perform repetitive movements over continued periods of time. This component can be tested by doing sit ups or push-ups

4: Flexibility - the ability to move our joints and muscles straight through their full range of motion. This can be seen when doing stretches or splits.

5: Body compound - this refers to the ratio of lean muscle to fats in the body. A good fitness agenda should consist of each of these five components of health-related fitness. You should begin each workout session with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and low intensity warm-ups. Cardio respiratory durableness can be improved by doing at least 20 minutes per session of aerobic activity. This can be in the form of jogging, bicycling, brisk walking, rowing, swimming or playing tennis or racquetball. Lifting weights either free weights or power machines will help you improve your muscular strength. Muscular durableness can be improved by doing push-ups sit ups or pull ups. Flexibility can be improved by doing 10 minutes of stretching exercises a combine times per week.

By including each of the first four components in your fitness agenda you will improve the fifth component by expanding the estimate of lean muscle in your body and reducing the estimate of fats.

3 Major Components illustrate the importance of bodily Fitness

Fun or Fitness

The significance of corporeal fitness in the life of anyone trying to seek great condition and over-all well being is not just as easy as working out three days a week. Life itself is nothing but constant checks and balances and so to should be your condition and fitness.

What I mean is this, life is a series of waves, it may seem things have a constant but this is only an illusion. For life to say it's "constant" it must accomplish a equilibrium of these waves which can be called an equilibrium or when things seem to be complacent.

The significance of corporeal fitness in your life and in your condition is just as prominent as the constant equilibrium of life itself. But to accomplish this equilibrium in condition you must understand three major components. It is in this record that you will peruse these components and why they are so prominent in achieving equilibrium in your condition and corporeal fitness.

#1 The Mindset:

The mindset will be one of the most prominent aspects, no, The most prominent aspect of your corporeal fitness. If you don't have the mindset, the drive, the perseverance, and the ability to channel your focus then you will fail before you even get started.

Mindset is made up of your goals and your convictions. Are you of the mindset to do what it takes?will you push straight through the pain? Will you do it again tomorrow or give up today?

Before you can begin to understand the significance of corporeal fitness you must first look deep within yourself. You must pledge to your inner self that this is what you truly want. Go beyond the easy thoughts and dialog within your outer self, bond to your goal and know, no matter what those thoughts say, you know deep within yourself to continue pushing forward.

#2 What You Eat:

The significance of corporeal fitness is also just another form of equilibrium in your over-all health. Working out and using your body will be just one step in creating harmony within your body.

To accomplish that equilibrium of condition you must also look at your eating habits. Now I hate to call wholesome eating a "diet". The very word "diet" to me signifies a temporary outcome or a short term goal. This word can also be looked at subconsciously as a negative in your life.

I don't want you to "diet" or restrict yourself. What you do need to do is understand the food you eat. Eat for the reasons of condition and longevity, not only for pleasure or avoidance of pain.

When you understand the food you eat you will never have to diet again. You can still eat the foods you desire on opening but with portion operate and in balance. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables more often then ice cream and candy. Drink water more often then soda and alcohol.

Eventually you will find that you don't have to diet, that you can enjoy these "bad" foods, but soon you will perceive you don't even need them in your life. By taking the balanced and portion coming rather than short term restriction you can reach your long term goals.

When you deprive or punish yourself you give reasons to break down when your emotional load is overwhelming. When you give in you may give up. This is not because you are weak but because you are human.

In a balanced coming you perceive that you are not being bad by enjoying something tasty. But instead you can take the moment to in effect enjoy the sense of taste and the pleasures it provides. But after wards you will drink your water and tomorrow you will enjoy your fruits and vegetables.

Strive for equilibrium not restriction.

#3 corporeal Fitness:

So by now you can see that the "importance of corporeal fitness" cannot be looked at as a one trick pony. It is only part of a collaborative coming of over-all condition and fitness.

But lets take a look at corporeal fitness itself. Why is it important?

Well, I am sure you have heard this saying before, "Use it or lose it". The same idea goes with your body. Sure it won't happen over night, but in long term, if you don't use muscles they will break down and be used for alternative energy.

If you don't stimulate your body if will never feel the need to be strong and ready for corporeal actions. If you don't give your body a intuit to do a singular action it plainly won't do it!

Think of it as doing your chores. Sure sometimes they seem pointless even though it will take a whopping 15 minutes to vacuum. But think about it, if you don't vacuum the dust will build up and the room will begin to look old.

In time, because this room is not taken care of it will become cluttered and un-used. Bugs may move in and take over just as viruses, bacteria, and cell deformations may take over an unused body.

So think about it, if you just took that 15 minutes to "vacuum", the room would stay more vibrant and fresh a lot longer. Sure all is bound to break down in time as that is the life and the laws of physics that we live by.

However, up holding something will keep it new, longer. Taking care of the room will give intuit for it to be used and kept up.

Just in the same way straight through corporeal fitness that your body has a intuit to renew your skeletal structure, to build muscle, to burn fat, and to keep your body running optimal.

By now the significance of corporeal fitness should be very apparent. Don't neglect the very possession you have always had and will always have regardless of what life may bring.

Your body is after-all your temple and your vehicle to interact and enjoy all that life has to offer. Either that may be the taste of foreign cuisine, the sound of laughter from your friends, the feeling of touch when you embrace your children, or that sense of "feeling good" when all is as it should be.

Fitness And Wellness theory - Part 2 - practice And Fitness

Fun or Fitness

Being physically fit provides a foundation for allembracing health and well being (Health and Fitness Principles). We can define corporeal fitness as, the corporeal attributes and skills that one has that allows them to accomplish the tasks of daily living effectively and alertly, while leaving an adequate number of vigor in keep for recreational and/or emergency activities (Health and Fitness Principles). When we hear the term, corporeal fitness, we typically think of activities such as running, jumping, or lifting weights. But, fitness involves much more than how much you can "lift", how fast you can run, or how high you can jump (Physical performance and Health).

Practically speaking, it has more to do with your capability to categorically and effectively carry out coarse activities like shoveling snow, back packing, mowing grass, or playing with your children.

What can exercise do for me?

Regular corporeal performance has been connected with decreased risk for many illnesses. agreeing to the American Heart Association, regular, moderate exercise has been shown to contribute the following benefits:

o Decreased risk of heart disease

o Decreased risk of heart attack

o Lower total cholesterol

o Lower blood pressure

o Decreased risk of being overweight or obese

o Decreased risk of stroke

o Lower stress levels

o Improved sleep

o Improved corporeal appearance

o Increased vigor and strength

o Stronger heart, lungs, bones, and muscles

(Why Should I be Physically Active, Aha)

As with other components of wellness, the transition to becoming more physically fit requires lifestyle changes. In order to reap the benefits of regular corporeal performance you must be able to make a lifelong commitment to your schedule (Fitness Fundamentals). It isn't requisite to have any special equipment, or to join a health club or gym. It only requires that you share consistently in some type of moderate - vigorous corporeal activity. Again, this does not need to be wee to former health club style exercises. Use your imagination, and select activities that you can enjoy. For example, rock climbing, hiking, rowing, or dancing would be perfect alternatives to the typical exercise program.

Physical Assessment

Regardless of your current health or corporeal condition, it is always a good idea to have a corporeal test before undertaking any exercise or cusine program. This is especially true if you are over the age of 35 and have been inactive for several years (Fitness Fundamentals). There are several other indications that would also suggest the need to consult with your physician before starting:

o High blood pressure

o History of heart disease

o Dizzy spells

o difficulty breathing after mild exertion

o Arthritis or other bone ailment

o Muscle, ligament, or tendon problems

o Known or suspected disease

o If you smoke

(Fitness Fundamentals)

Although there are some small risks that go along with exercise, it has been well documented that the risks connected with inactivity, and/or being overweight are much, much greater (Fitness Fundamentals).

A properly designed fitness schedule should always focus on balance. In other words, a schedule should address each component of fitness. agreeing to The Aerobics Fitness relationship of America, there are five components of fitness (Yoke, et al).

1. Muscular Strength

2. Muscular Endurance

3. Cardio-respiratory endurance

4. Flexibility

5. Body Composition

In expanding to including balance in your routine, you should always begin the schedule amelioration process by establishing a set of realistic goals. It is unfortunate that the majority of facts about cardio and impel training that population hold as true are nothing more than "urban legend". I have listed below several of my favorite fitness and exercise myths:

Popular exercise Myths

1. "If you stop weight training the muscle that you have built will turn to fat." As bodybuilding legend, Franco Colombu once said, "That would be like saying that an apple can turn to an orange." Muscle and fat are two thoroughly unique types of tissue. Therefore, it is impossible for fat to "turn into" muscle. Likewise, it is not possible for muscle to "turn into" fat.

2. "Weight training makes women have a masculine appearance." allowable weight training will help almost whatever to look healthier by enhancing body compound and manufacture the body look more tight and firm. The huge muscles that are seen in the pro women's bodybuilding ranks are produced by very large quantities of anabolic/androgenic steroids, not plainly by impel training alone.

3. "You need to spend a great deal of money on dietary supplements to be successful." The foundation of any exercise schedule is built upon the compound of a balanced diet, plentifulness of rest, and a well designed exercise regimen. Supplements are definitely not requisite for impel trainers or endurance trainers regardless of their fitness level.

4. "It takes high-priced machines and workout tool to build a capability physique." Although it is desirable to have a few basic pieces of tool at your disposal, it is very possible to make an sufficient workout disposition with no tool at all. There is a great deal of research that has demonstrated a number of advantages to "low tech" functional impel training programs. This doesn't mean that you should avoid the fancy weight machines. But, you should keep in mind that some of the greatest physiques in history were developed with wee or no exercise tool at all.

5. "Weight training will make you muscle bound and stiff." Actually, research has demonstrated that when resistance exercises are performed through their full range of motion, flexibility increases. Weight training stretches opposing muscle groups.

Designing Your Program

As you begin putting together your program, it is helpful to use what is known as the Fitt formula.

F.I.T.T. =

F = Frequency (how often you exercise)

I = Intensity (how hard you are working when exercising)

T = Type (what type of exercise is being done?)

T = Time (how much time is spent exercising)

The American College of Sports rehabilitation has established exact guidelines regarding the Fitt formulas for both cardio-respiratory training and impel training. The guidelines for Cardio training are as follows:

Cardio Guidelines:

o Frequency = three - five times per week

o Intensity = 55 - 90% of max heart rate

o Time (or duration) = from 20 - 60 minutes

o Type = coarse forms of cardio training: walking, cycling, jogging, swimming, stair climbing, and dancing

o Beginners = Start by working at almost 55 - 70% of max heart rate

o Hydration = be definite that your body is adequately hydrated before and after exercise almost ½ - 1 cup of fluids per 15 minutes of vigorous activity

o Warm Up = an exercise session should always begin with a brief warm up period of about five minutes. Warming up consists of light performance such as walking or cycling

o Cool Down = always slow down your pace while the last several minutes of your exercise session in order to allow your heart rate and core body temperature to gradually return to normal

o Over effort can be hazardous to your health. Be definite that you are training at an intensity that is appropriate relative to your age, fitness level, and personal health condition.

Intensity Level

It is extremely important that you are exercising at an appropriate level of intensity. There are several methods that can be used to measure how hard you are working. The method that you pick will depend on what type of tool that you have at your disposal. The two most coarse measures of intensity are heart rate, and the talk test.

As mentioned earlier, your training heart rate should be from 55 - 90% of maximum heart rate, depending on your current fitness level and goals. (Consult with your physician to decide if this range is appropriate for your personal condition). You can use the following method to approximate your target heart rate.

220 - Age = Max Heart Rate

Max Heart Rate x .55 = beginners level training heart rate

Max Heart Rate x .70 = Intermediate level training heart rate

Max heart rate x .90 = developed level training heart rate

The most coarse measure of intensity, however, is "The Talk Test".

Basically, if you can speak conversationally (but not get adequate air to sing), while performing your aerobic exercise you are probably somewhere between the desired range of 55 - 90 % of Mhr. If speech becomes broken, you are exceeding the desired range.

Next we will discuss impel training. There are many health benefits connected with impel training that are often overlooked by recreational exercisers. A few of the benefits include:

o Increased motor performance

o Increased bone density

o Decreased risk of injury

o Increased metabolic rate

o Increased capacity to accomplish work

Strength Training guidelines

o Frequency = Two - Three non-consecutive days for beginners

o Intensity = accomplish each movement to muscular fatigue or near muscular failure

o Type = The most coarse forms of resistance training consist of weight lifting, pushups, pull-ups, crunches, resistance bands.

o Time (or volume) = Beginners accomplish one - three sets of eight - fifteen repetitions per exercise.

o Progression = increase weight by almost 5% when you are able to reach your repetition target on two consecutive training sessions.

o exercise Order = It is most desirable to work from largest muscle group to smallest muscle group.

o For example, Squats, Pushups, Chin Ups, Calf Raise, Crunches

o Breathing = always exhale on the definite (concentric) measure of the movement. In other words, exhale when you exert force. Never hold your breath when impel training.

o Tempo = Move the weight in a slow and controlled manner. Many favorite methods suggest two seconds for the definite phase, followed by four seconds for the negative phase of the lift.

o In my opinion, it isn't requisite to count your tempo. Just embrace the understanding of slow and controlled movement.

o Overload = You must challenge you body to work at increasingly higher levels to bring about ongoing improvement

o Regularity = you must work out consistently to benefit from impel training. At least two non-consecutive sessions per week are required on a consistent basis.

As with cardio training, it is requisite to begin all strength-training sessions with a brief, five wee warm up period. At the conclusion of your impel routine, you should end with a short cool down, followed by static (non-bouncing) stretching of the major muscle groups.

Tips for seeing time

1. Wake up an extra 30 - 60 minutes early to exercise before your workday starts.

2. Take a brisk walk on your lunch break.

3. Begin your workout immediately upon arriving home from work.

4. Join exercise into family time. Take everybody out for a 30-minute walk after dinner, or go to the park for a game of basketball or soccer.

5. Split your exercise into two separate sessions, fifteen minutes in the morning and fifteen minutes in the evening.

6. schedule your exercise just like you would any other appointment. Put it in your Palm Pilot, Day Planner, or Outlook Calendar.

Developing a realistic plan of performance before adding exercise to your schedule is requisite to ensure your long-term success. manufacture any change to your lifestyle requires commitment to change. Identifying possible roadblocks to your success will help you to make more realistic plans. The number one presuppose that population site for failing to exercise is "lack of time".

Therefore,
you should peruse your daily work and performance schedule thoroughly to decide where you can fit exercise in to the mix. For more detailed facts about developing an sufficient training disposition it may be helpful to consult with a pro personal trainer. There are also a number of suited personal trainers that offer online coaching for those who don't have the time to work with a trainer in person.

As mentioned earlier, regardless of your current health or corporeal condition, it is always a good idea to have a corporeal test before undertaking any corporeal exercise or cusine program.

Hockey Drills - Off Ice Fitness and Skating Drills to enhance Speed and Power on the Ice

Fun or Fitness

Hockey drills aren't something that you have to leave behind when you step off the ice. There are abundance of ways that players serious about improving their game can work themselves off of the ice to simulate on ice situations, and to make gains in the areas that admittedly matter while games. Here are some great drills you can do off-ice to make your a more dominant player when you hit the rink.

Interval Running

Interval running (or stationary biking) is a great dryland practice because it'll enhance your speed and quickness, and also help condition you for games. You can do ladder drills where you turn the period of work and rest as you go, or you can do set period intervals. A great one to do is 45 seconds of hard work followed by about a exiguous and a half of lower intensity work. This simulates the real life intervals you contact in a game with shifts and bench rest.

Shooting Races

This one is great to do if you're training with a teammate that you can race against, but if you're by yourself you can just try and beat your own time. All you need is somewhere you have room to run and set up a net. Set up a net with four targets and a set of pucks (or balls). Then set a ticket at least 100m away. The goal of the drill is to do four sprints to the 100m mark and back, hitting one of the targets each time. Keep track of times and all the time try and beat your last best time.

Inline Drills

One great way of conditioning yourself while the off-season is to strap on a good pair of inline skates and simulate your on-ice drills that way. The saunter you'll use on inline skates is slightly dissimilar to that of ice skates, and you'll need a merge sessions to adjust, but the muscles you use for both is exactly the same. That means for fitness and conditioning purposes, inline skates are a perfect substitute for ice skate and will work all the same muscles you need for game time.

Gym Logos - Fitness Club and Personal teacher Logo form Ideas

Fun or Fitness

It is leading that you have a good comprehension of your target store before you set out to get a logo design. Once you understand your store you can then order a create that will petition directly to them.

In the following report we take a closer look at fitness logos and we offer ideas on getting an sufficient create for your enterprise if you own a gym, fitness club or personal trainer business.

Projecting the Right Image

The fitness enterprise is all about the human body and how individuals strive for health and perfection. In the fitness enterprise you will typically want to push whether the 'health and fitness' message or the 'strength and muscle' message.

There are many other niche markets in the gym enterprise these days though and depending on where you are located it may pay to go after one of these niches. The flavor of your logo should contribute a hint as to whether you are a gym that targets serious, young body builders or whether you are a gym for those of all ages seeing for casual light workouts and activities.

But there are other things that make one gym separate from another. If you have a unique selling proposition then you may want to emphasize this in your name or logo somehow. Are you open 24 hours? Do you have a membership plan that is exceptional?

Common Gym Logo Images

The most common image for a gym or fitness center to feature on their logo is one of the human body. The form can be whether masculine and muscular or a slim, feminine shape depending on the message that you want to convey.

We looked over a large range of fitness enterprise logos and noticed other common themes too. Rehearsal tool such as barbells, dumbbells and treadmills can work well. A symbol such as a heart could emphasize the health benefits of regular workouts.

Movement is a common theme in fitness logos and the images of habitancy and other objects used on many designs are made to look like they are in a state of movement.

Color Choice

When it comes to selection of color, anyone can work well. Color combination's that are vibrant and curious are common in this business although conservative colors can also suit some types of gym or fitness club better.

Bear in mind that logos are commonly more sufficient when they are easy in design. Using excessive color can make a logo unnecessarily cluttered so the best designers will commonly stick to only two or three colors. This can also make for a more versatile image, especially when it comes to printing.

Font Selection

Your designer should contribute you with concepts that show a range of font or lettering styles. The right font can also help to reinforce the message that you want to get over in your logo.

One thing that we noticed with fitness and gym logos is that they often use fonts that slope forwards, implying movement, strengthen or speed.

Working With a Designer

There are many online practice logo associates that can put together a create that is tailor made for your enterprise specifically. Most of them feature portfolios of their former work on their websites so you can look straight through and see how they have tackled gym and fitness logos for other clients.

Once you have chosen a create firm to work with you will have to perfect a briefing form that sets out your requirements for the project. Be sure to give them as much facts as possible about your business, your target store and your competitors. They can then create something that accurately represents your business.

Refer them to some examples of gym logos that you like or dislike so that they have some idea what you are seeing for.

Many enterprise owners hesitate to spend a few hundred dollars on a pro design. However, when you consider that a logo will be serving you over a duration of many years it is easier to perceive the value. A great logo will likely offer you a best return on speculation than any other component of your marketing plan.

Get you gym or fitness center off to a good start with a great seeing logo design.

Hockey Fitness For 8-11 Year Old Players - 3 Top Tips For Young Kids Hockey Training

Fun or Fitness

Hockey fitness for 8-11 year old kids may seem like something unimportant but it's not, and in reality, it's something every parent and coach should be working into young players' hockey schedules. Not only will training help the kids accomplish good on the ice, boosting their confidence and in turn their love of the game, but instilling a love for fitness in kids at a young age will help to ensure they grow up to be healthy adults as well. Here are three very leading things to think when it comes to fitness training for young hockey players.

It has to be fun or there isn't any point...

You as a matter of fact need to find a way to make fitness training fun for the young players or else all it's going to do is sour them on the game and they won't see the results from it that they would if it was enjoyable. Make working out or doing dry-land training a fun perceive and the kids will excel. The best way to do this is to have the kids workout as a team, or at least with one other teammate. Make it a competition or a fun challenge and they'll jump all over it.

Remember that kids aren't adults...

8-11 year old kids (and young teens as well) aren't advanced enough to work out the same way that kids 15 and over, and adults do. In fact having a young kid do the same workout as a fully advanced teen or adult is as a matter of fact detrimental and will hinder them more than it will help them. It's still massively leading for kids to start training early, and it has huge benefits for them on the ice and in life, but you have to be sure that the workouts they're doing are right for their age group.

Follow a program designed for hockey...

If you don't have a coach or a instructor with exact knowledge in fitness training for kids, specifically training with hockey in mind, then your best bet is to succeed a program. You can hire a instructor to manufacture a program, but that can be very costly. The other great selection is to succeed a pre-designed hockey exact program.

5 Components of bodily Fitness

Fun or Fitness

Physical fitness is the potential to function effectively throughout your workday, achieve your usual other activities and still have enough energy left over to deal with any extra stresses or emergencies which may arise.

The components of physical fitness are:

* Cardiorespiratory (Cr) stamina - the efficiency with which the body delivers oxygen and nutrients needed for muscular performance and transports waste products from the cells.

* Muscular compel - the many estimate of force a muscle or muscle group can exert in a singular effort.

* Muscular stamina - the potential of a muscle or muscle group to achieve repeated movements with a sub-maximal force for extended periods of times.

* Flexibility - the potential to move the joints or any group of joints straight through an entire, normal range of motion.

* Body combination - the ration of body fat a someone has in comparison to his or her total body mass.

Improving the first three components of fitness listed above will have a positive impact on body combination and will effect in less fat. Excessive body fat detracts from the other fitness components, reduces performance, detracts from appearance, and negatively affects your health.

Factors such as speed, agility, muscle power, eye-hand coordination, and eye-foot coordination are classified as components of "motor" fitness. These factors most influence your athletic ability. Thorough training can heighten these factors within the limits of your potential. A sensible weight loss and fitness agenda seeks to heighten or claim all the components of physical and motor fitness straight through sound, progressive, mission definite physical training.

Principles of Exercise

Adherence to positive basic exercise principles is leading for developing an sufficient program. The same principles of exercise apply to every person at all levels of physical training, from the Olympic-caliber athlete to the weekend jogger.

These basic principles of exercise must be followed.

Regularity

To achieve a training effect, you must exercise often. You should exercise each of the first four fitness components at least three times a week. Infrequent exercise can do more harm than good. Regularity is also leading in resting, sleeping, and following a sensible diet.

Progression

The intensity (how hard) and/or period (how long) of exercise must slowly growth to heighten the level of fitness.

Balance

To be effective, a agenda should contain activities that address all the fitness components, since overemphasizing any one of them may hurt the others.

Variety

Providing a range of activities reduces boredom and increases motivation and progress.

Specificity

Training must be geared toward definite goals. For example, habitancy come to be better runners if their training emphasizes running. Although swimming is great exercise, it does not heighten a 2-mile-run time as much as a running agenda does.

Recovery

A hard day of training for a given component of fitness should be followed by an easier training day or rest day for that component and/or muscle group(s) to help permit recovery. Another way to allow saving is to alternate the muscle groups exercised every other day, especially when training for compel and/or muscle endurance.

Overload

The work load of each exercise session must exceed the normal demands placed on the body in order to bring about a training effect.
