Overload Principal |
FITT Principles |
The overload principle is where the body is pushed to it's limit by working harder and improve ones physical performance and efficiency.
I used this concept in my fitness log by plotting which workouts to o and the level or exertion to do them at. This concept was helpful when working out because it let me know if I needed to switch or add different workouts and fit them to my needs. |
FIIT is an acronym that stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type. The FIIT principle is an exercise routine consisting from running, cycling, training and more.
I used this concept in my fitness log by again plotting my workouts by targeting certain goals or parts of the body. This concept was helpful because it helped me understand which and why to do certain workouts. |
Heart Rate Ones heart rate is how many beats your heart takes in a minute or certain amount of time. To find your heart rate, pick a time segment. (30 seconds, 60, seconds etc.) Next find your heart beat, this may be near your radial artery or wrist. Place your index and middle fingers on the area and count the beats you feel while taking time. Make sure to not use your thumb as it contains it's own beat.
I used this concept for my fitness logs by learning my personal heart rate, my starting resting heart rate was 72bpm. Since then my resting heart rate dropped to 65 bpm. |
THRR [Target Heart Rate Range] A target heart rate range is ones personal heart rates, in order to find ones THRR you will need to find your lowest heart rate and your highest [you can also include your maximum heart rate]. To find your lowest, highest, and max heart rate you must follow the formulas below.

ATP [Adenosine Triphosphate] Adenosine triphosphate is a compound that provides energy to different parts of the body, such as muscle contractions. ATP is the source of energy for your muscles to keep it moving and active.
I used this concept in my workouts and fitness logs by learning when to continue and/or put an end to my workouts. This let me know the exertion of my workouts, and how challenging they were to needed to be. |
Skill Related Fitness Skill related fitness would be the act or state of being able to complete daily life and fitness activates with no problems. Some fitness activins include; drill runs, body weight workouts (squats, planks) and more. The skill- related fitness components consist of the following.

Resistance Training |
Muscles |
Resistance training are workouts that consist of muscle contractions to develop resistance that can result in strength, tone, mass, and endurance.
I was able to use this concept in my workouts to specifically target my legs and back. I made a list with resistance trained based workouts that would target those body parts [legs and back]. |
Muscles are a band of tissue in the body that is able to contract. This produces movement and position of parts of the body.
I worked my muscles with workouts meant to target certain muscles. Since learning about muscles in class I was able to identify those muscles and work from there to become a better athlete. |
Body Weight Workouts Bodyweight workouts can be describes as strength-training routines that consist of using ones own weight to help with resistance. Bodyweight workouts are prone to allow all range of abilities. These abilities may consist of the following; strength, power, endurance, speed, flexibility, coordination and balance.
I used this concept the most when planning and physically working out, it helped me target certain parts of my body and work them. |
Bone Movement Bone movement is the act of the bone moving at the joint. This is when your muscles start contracting and releasing off of your bone allowing and creating that movement you see. Walking is the best proven "workout" to help with bone movement as when your walking you are actually moving a lot of your muscles allowing your bones to move a lot more.
I use this concept in my fitness log and workouts by learning about my bones and where they are located and hat they are used for in the body. |

What is yoga? Yoga is a union between the mind and the body. Its a place of discovery and connection, where you can find inner peace and discover your spirit. There are many types of yoga, some of which are not for everyone. Here is a list of some types of yoga and what they may consist of. First off, Kundalini Yoga, this type of yoga was first founded in 1960 by a spiritual leader also known as Yogi Bhajan. Who had this practice of yoga for those who like to chant and sing, the point of this yoga is to find ones spirit within and learn about themselves more.

Prenatal Yoga was founded by Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa in 1960 to help pregnant women with their back pain and slowly getting back to exercise and relaxation, pre and post- partum.
Yoga was not incorporated into my personal workouts though they were incorporated through school. Every Wednesday we did about 30-45 minutes of yoga. Each time we focused on different parts of the body ensuring to stay relaxed and focused on the body part emphasized. This helped me learn even more about my body and how it functions, my favorite part of restorative yoga was the back and abs focused days because those are body parts I wanted to focus on the most. All in all, yoga is for everyone and should be tested out to see which type of yoga fits you and your needs. |

I used these 5 related health components not only in school but in daily life as well. I let these health components guide me into finding the perfect workouts to target and meat goals I knew were challenging yet motivated. |
Strengths A strength for this project would have to be tracking my miles and mood throughout the months. This was also my favorite part of the project!!
|
Challenges A challenge for this project would be keeping track of my actual fitness logs [physical]. I kept the majority of my fitness log online because it was easier to track.
