• Waist Circumference


  Measurement of visceral fat, which contributes more to the risk of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes than fat located in other areas
• Flexibility


  The ability of the joints to move through their full range of motion
• Flexibility


  • Sit and reach
• Cardiovascular Endurance


  The ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to deliver oxygen to working muscles and tissues and how they utilize oxygen
• Endurance

  The ability of the muscles to do repeated work without fatigue
• Cardiovascular Endurance


  • 3 minutes STEP TEST
• Strength


  The ability of the muscles to generate force against a physical object. Fitness refers to how much weight you can lift for different strength-training exercises
• Strength


  • Push-Up and Curl-ups
• Ectomorphs


  • Long and lean, with little body fat, and little muscle. They have a hard time gaining weight. Fashion models and basketball players fit this category
• Endomorphs


  • Have lots of body fat, lots of muscle, and gain weight easily. Football lineman tend to be endomorphs -- they're heavier and rounder individuals, And they don't have to necessarily be overweight
• Mesomorphs


  • Athletic, solid, and strong. They're not overweight and not underweight, and they can eat what they want without worrying too much about it. They both gain and lose weight without too much effort
• Combination somatotypes


  Pear-shaped ecto-endomorphs with thin, delicate upper bodies and high fat storage in the hips and thighs, and apple-shaped endo-ectomorphs, with high fat storage in the mid-section and thin lower bodies
• You're likely to experience fewer joint and muscle pains, more energy, better control of bodily fluids and blood pressure, less strain on your heart and circulatory system, better sleep, decreased blood triglyceride and blood sugar levels, decreased risk of developing diabetes, and decreased risk for heart disease and certain cancers if you maintain a healthy weight and normal BMI
• If you are overweight or obese, you are at higher risk of having major health problems, including heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, gallstones, breathing problems, and some malignancies. Since it lowers your risk of acquiring these issues, improves your self-esteem, and provides you more energy to enjoy life, keeping a healthy weight is crucial
• Frequency (how often)


  Exercise should be carried out 3-5 days a week. Training three times a week produces significant training effects; however, training 5 days a week at a lower-intensity exercise may be more manageable for some people. Little additional benefit is seen with more than five training sessions a week, and the risk of injury is increased
• Intensity (how hard)


  Intensity can vary between light, moderate and vigorous intensity activities. For example, walking slowly is a low intensity activity, walking briskly or shooting around a basketball is a moderate intensity activity and running (>5mph) is a vigorous intensity activity
• Time (duration or how long)

  A total of 20-60 minutes of continuous or intermittent aerobic activity a day should be performed. The activity can be divided into a minimum of low minute bouts throughout the day. The duration of training is dependent on intensity. Individuals starting at the lower end of the training band need to sustain exercise longer (30-60 minutes) to achieve training effects
• Type


  Refers to the sort of activity to complete eg Aerobic activities like walking, jogging, biking, swimming, or dancing or strengthening activities such as exercises using exercise bands, weight machines or hand-held weights
• Aerobic exercise


  Any physical activity that increases your breathing and heart rate. It involves using large muscle groups to move your body for a sustained period
• Anaerobic exercise


  Physical activity that you can only maintain for a short period. It involves quick bursts of high-intensity movement. When you exercise, your muscles need more oxygen to sustain the movement. But when you do anaerobic exercise, your muscles work so hard that your heart and lungs can't keep up
• Circuit training


  A form of body conditioning that involves endurance training, resistance training, high-intensity aerobics, and exercises performed in a circuit, similar to high-intensity interval training. It targets strength building and muscular endurance. An exercise "circuit" is one completion of all set exercises in the program. When one circuit is completed, one begins the first exercise again for the next circuit. Traditionally, the time between exercises in circuit training is short and often with rapid movement to the next exercise
• Circuit training is a workout that involves rotating through various exercises targeting different parts of the body. Focusing on different muscle groups in a short amount of time is an effective exercise that can be incorporated into a healthy lifestyle
• Repetition circuit


  Each exercise in the circuit is performed for a certain number of repetitions (typically 10–15) before moving on to the next exercise
• Timed circuit


  Each exercise in the circuit is performed for a certain amount of time (typically 30–90 seconds) before moving on to the next exercise
• Competition circuit


  Similar to a timed circuit, but each exercise is completed for as many repetitions as possible within the given amount of time
• Sport-specific circuit


  Each exercise is a drill used to improve certain movements involved in a specific sport, such as practicing jumps, kicks, turns, and tumbling skills for gymnastics
• Benefits of Circuit Training

  • Increase Strength, May Help With Weight Loss
• Circuit training

  • Involves strength training and cardiovascular exercises
  • Can help improve body composition by building muscle and losing fat
• Time efficient


  Circuit training involves little to no rest between exercises, so its fast-paced nature helps save time
• Circuit training can be incredibly beneficial to people who have limited time to exercise but want to reap the most rewards out of their workouts
• HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)


  • Covers all types of interval training that involve a period of work followed by a period of rest
  • The work period can be a set time or number of repetitions
  • During the active phase, you exert yourself as hard as you can, even to the point of fatigue
• HIIT workout


  1. Work period lasts 2 to 3 minutes

  2. Entire workout lasts 20 to 40 minutes

  3. Can use bodyweight exercises, stationary bike, treadmill, kettlebell, jump rope, or dumbbells
• Tabata workout

  • Each round lasts 4 minutes and involves eight intervals of 20 seconds of intense exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest
  • Usually done for 20 minutes
• With little to no rest between exercises

  Circuit training helps to improve heart health by enhancing endurance as the heart has to pump harder to supply muscles with oxygen-rich blood
• William James: '"A man's Self is the sum total of all that he can call his"'
• Ownership


  • Concept understood by 2 year olds
  • 2-4 year olds assume first possessor is always owner
  • 6 year olds exhibit "endownment effect" - preferring possessed objects
• Envy/Jealousy


  • Babies show aggression when toys taken away
  • 25% of conflicts in daycare caused by defending possessed objects or wanting others' objects
• Attachment object


  • Children have "favorite toy" with intense relationship
  • Horror if object is taken or copied
  • Explained by magical thinking, objects have essence, returns as sentimental value in adulthood
• Materialism


  • Peaks during middle adolescence (15-17 years)
  • Self-esteem tends to be lowest during this time
  • Sense of self-worth and achievement lessens materialistic attitude
• Thinking about the self
