Sun City Anthem Fitness Center news

HOW MUCH PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IS REQUIRED TO BECOME FIT?

Experts recommend:

Activity at moderate intensity (equal to a brisk walk) for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week or more.
Vigorous exercise for 20 minutes a day, 3 times a week or more. Vigorous exercise is done at a pace that increases your heart rate to 70% or more of your maximum heart rate. Your maximum heart rate is the fastest your heart can beat at a maximum activity level.

WHAT TYPES OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IMPROVE FITNESS?

Experts agree that there are three kinds of fitness:

Flexibility is the ability to move joints and use muscles through their full range of motion. Stretching is a flexibility exercise.

Aerobic (cardiorespiratory) fitness is the body's ability to use oxygen efficiently and depends upon the condition of your heart, lungs, and muscles. This type of fitness increases the amount of oxygen that is delivered to your muscles, which allows them to work longer.

Muscular fitness includes building stronger muscles and increasing how long you can use them (endurance). Resistance training through weight lifting and body movements such as push-ups can improve muscular fitness.

Keep in mind that you may be fairly fit in one area (perhaps aerobic fitness) but just getting started with another (such as flexibility or muscle strengthening).
