Spartan Health and Fitness ____________________________________________ Fitness Tips For 6/19/2013 ____________________________________________ Starting A Fitness Program Your fitness program depends on your goals, there is cardio, strength or power training, muscle building, and flexibility. If you have never exercised before I suggest seeing a doctor first and get cleared to participate in physical activity. Your best choice would be to join a fitness club. They usually offer personal trainer services, at the least there will be someone to assist you if necessary. Stretching Stretching should be done with every workout and be a regular part of your fitness program. When you stretch regularly it will improve athletic performance and decrease your risk of injury. It also provides a better range of motion and helps to elongate the muscles. Weight Lifting There are two basic types of training, strength training and bodybuilding. The type of training you do depends on your need or goals. All three involve using progressive resistance using weights or machines. Strength Training Strength training is targeted towards making you stronger, it forces your tendons, muscles, and bones to develop and work together while becoming more powerful. Strength training should be performed with 75 to 100% percent of your one rep(repitition) max for 1 to 6 reps. Bodybuilding With Bodybuilding the goal is to develop the mass (size) of muscles while strengthening the tendons and bones. It is most effective using resistance in the range of 60 to 80% of your one rep max for 6 to 10 reps. Cardio Cardio exercises are the best for dropping weight, they elevate your heart rate and you keep it in your target zone for a period of time. Cardio strengthens your heart, improves your lung capacity, reduces stress and the risk of heart attack. There are many choices for how you do your cardio, it would depend on your interests.
