In order to properly form a fitness schedule we must first understand the five components of health-related fitness. These are:
1: Cardio respiratory stamina - the body's quality to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs and the quality to use them over sustained periods of time. This component is visible during long-distance running or swimming.
2: Muscular strength - the quality of your muscles to exert force. This component is visible when lifting or lively heavy objects such as doing a weightlifting workout.
3: Muscular stamina - the quality of your muscles to exert force or to perform repetitive movements over continued periods of time. This component can be tested by doing sit ups or push-ups
4: Flexibility - the quality to move our joints and muscles straight through their full range of motion. This can be seen when doing stretches or splits.
5: Body combination - this refers to the ratio of lean muscle to fats in the body. A good fitness schedule should comprise each of these five components of health-related fitness. You should begin each workout session with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and low intensity warm-ups. Cardio respiratory stamina can be improved by doing at least 20 minutes per session of aerobic activity. This can be in the form of jogging, bicycling, brisk walking, rowing, swimming or playing tennis or racquetball. Lifting weights either free weights or strength machines will help you improve your muscular strength. Muscular stamina can be improved by doing push-ups sit ups or pull ups. Flexibility can be improved by doing 10 minutes of stretching exercises a join times per week.
By including each of the first four components in your fitness schedule you will improve the fifth component by addition the amount of lean muscle in your body and reducing the amount of fats.
