It is well known that the most effective weight loss programs combine nutrition and exercise. There are no shortcuts or "quick fixes." It is also well known that effective exercise should include activities that address all the components physical fitness. The best exercise program combines elements of cardio-respiratory development, strength training, and flexibility.
These are the health-related components of physical fitness and are related to how well the systems of the body work:
1. Flexibility - the range of motion around a joint.
2. Muscular Endurance - the ability of a muscle group to continue a specific movement over a period of time without fatigue.
3. Muscular strength - the ability of a muscle group to exert force during an activity.
4. Cardio-respiratory Endurance - the efficiency of the body's circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen to working muscles during sustained physical activity.
5. Body Composition - the relative percentage of body fat compared to lean body mass.
In the future, I'll tell you about my own training routines in each of these areas.
