ASSIGNMENT
Write a 2,000 word paper, including a chart .
Each fitness program must be designed to meet the needs of your body, schedule, and fitness goals. Certain physical limitations, time commitments, preferences, and goals will provide the basic structure of your fitness training program. Once you have identified your needs and goals, you can construct a fitness plan that will be effective and convenient. A well-rounded fitness program will consist of both cardio and strength routines, and will vary from week to week. You will occasionally need to alter the type or increase the intensity of workouts to continue to see results.
List a goal: weight loss, muscle strength, cardiovascular endurance, bodybuilding, sport training. Include NUTRITION in your work out plan!
Having a goal will dictate the type of exercise you should build into your plan, amount of time and whether your plan will include dietary changes.
If your goal includes weight loss, strength training is essential to boost metabolism rates and burn more calories.
If your fitness goals are targeted at an athletic event, such as a marathon, your program will include interval training.
Limitations: Injury, health issues
Time: Month
Type of workout you will need to match your goal.
Choose your favorite cardio routines
Develop a repertoire of strength building routines.
Dumbbells, machines, exercise balls, resistance bands.
If working out at home, invest in resistance bands or dumbbells or use body resistance such as push-ups, yoga or workout videos
Use a combination of cardio and strength routines. Depending on your fitness goals, your routine may be cardio heavy, strength training heavy, or an even combination of the two.
Provide a list of substitute options. Replace cardio or strength routine with an option from your substitute list. This will allow you to use your muscles differently and can jump start your metabolism if your body has grown accustomed to your prior workout. Also, to allow for inclement weather or personal issues that may occur in one’s life.
Include: the amount of repetitions, sets, weight lifted and name of targeted muscle group.
