Thanks for visiting my website!
Whether you're considering beginning a training program for your own personal well being or seeking personal training, you need to start from the beginning.
Please read the following information because it is very important that you know the basic components of personal fitness and nutrition.
The following paragraghs give an overall view of the 5 basic components of fitness, which you will be using and benefiting from while training with me.
The Components of Fitness
1. Aerobic Fitness- Sometimes called cardiorespiratory endurance, aerobic fitness measures how well your heart gets oxygen-rich blood to all your muscles while you're exercising. If you're aerobically fit, your heart is pumping efficiently, your blood is loaded with oxygen, and your muscles are able to use oxygen and make energy. You can consider yourself aerobically fit if you can sustain exercise for 30 to 60 minutes without unusual fatigue.
2. Muscular Strength and Endurance- Lifting bags of groceries, moving furniture, carrying textbooks, and lifting free weights all require muscular strength. Performing these tasks for extended periods of time requires muscular endurance.
Different exercises will strengthen different muscle groups. For example, weight training will build muscle strength. Swimming, cycling, and running will help build endurance and will also help contour muscles.
3. Flexibility- If muscles and joints aren't exercised, they become short and tight. If you're flexible, you may be able to prevent some common injuries, reduce lower-back and shoulder and neck pain, and feel better about performing everyday jobs.
4. Body Compostion- Body Composition refers to the overall makeup of the body, including the percentage of fat, the ration of fat to muscle, the level of hydration, and bone density. Athletes and physically fit individuals generally have a lower percentage of body fat than people who don't exercise. Increased body fat can be related to an increase risk for diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. A consistent and regular exercise program will reduce body fat and increase muscle. What you eat obviously affects your body composition as well. Exercise and food intake go hand-in-hand when it comes to a health body composition. Too many calories going in and too few being burned contribute to body fat.
5. Core Conditioning- Fitness is about making the whole person healthy. Many traditional exercises help you to strengthen or flex particular muscle groups, and that's a good thing. Core conditioning is about getting your entire body moving as one entity and producing a stability that comes from the trunk and the spine. Many exercises in core conditiong might look like traditional adominal exercise. However, core conditioning involves learning how to do exercises correctly. Core conditioning also makes you aware of how you're using a muscle.
