recreation that promotes good health for a lifetime.

Types of Exercises
1. Aerobic Exercises: vigorous activity in which oxygen
is continuously taken in for at least 20 minutes.
• It sends more oxygen to the muscles and improves
cardiorespiratory endurance and body
composition
2. Anaerobic Exercises: Exercise in which the muscles
work so hard that they produce energy without
requiring oxygen.
3. Resistance Training: Any exercise that causes the
muscles to contract against an external resistance to
improve strength, tone, mass, and/or endurance.
Resistance Training Exercises: (Anaerobic)
 Isometric Exercises: Muscle strengthening exercise
in which you tighten a muscle with no body
movement at the joint.
Ex: Planks; hand press
Isotonic Exercises: Exercise in which muscles contract
and move against a resistance repeatedly.
Exs: push-ups, pull-ups, and weight lifting
Isokinetic Exercises: Exercise that uses weightresistance machines to provide resistance through the
full range of motion.
Ex: Lat Pulldown, Bicep Curls, Calf Press, etc.
When Choosing a Physical Activity
1. Don’t limit yourself to just one activity
2. Choose a variety of activities
• Cross Training: Combining different exercise
routines to help work different body systems.

MY EXERCISE OF CHOICE
Since not limiting yourself to only one type of exercise is
important…
Divide your paper into 3 sections and draw pictures of
your three go-to exercises. Identify whether it is Aerobic
or Anaerobic.
Then explain why a variety of exercises is important to
your total health.
