- My physical education and health teacher really made me think twice about my health. They really pushed the students to follow good habits. I instantly became a “health nut”. - Ever since I watched “Super Size Me” my life changed. I want to change the world one step at a time. I believe others would care for health reasons especially the younger generation because each year the statistics for children obesity rises. - - eating healthier and exercising daily will impact my future so much and decrease any problems

Understanding the body

Being aware of what you put in your body

Why become part of the growing epidemic– obesity?

Take it all in! You are what you eat! Don’t be part of the epidemic.

extensive network of muscle and nervous tissue which is spread throughout the body It is controlled by the central nervous system (sends messages throughout the body) 650 muscles active in the human body 40% of someone's weight Without the muscular system, people cannot move and perform any type of bodily processes which are essential to keep the body in working order Most abundant tissue in the body

1.Skeletal: attached to bones by tendons – during muscle contraction, skeletal muscles shorten, which causes tension on bones – requires nervous stimulation to contract; main function is movement (voluntary- decide when to move them) 2. cardiac: can contract spontaneously – heart muscle cells (located in the heart) 3. Smooth : contain actin (structural protein of muscle that, along with myosin, is responsible for muscle contraction) & myosin – involuntary contraction (happens by itself) – located in blood vessel walls & in the small air passages in the lungs (bronchioles) in the digestive tract, ureters & the intestine – example: peristalsis- the movement of muscle cells in the intestine after the consumption of food

1.  Studies show being active lowers the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, and certain cancers. Exercising boosts one’s mood, helps stress control, and helps maintain a good weight

2.  DON’T THINK YOU HAVE ENOUGH TIME 1.  time needed for a good workout: 5 days in a week of a 30 minute

light workout such as walking or 20 minutes of a harder workout such as running or sports for 3 days a week.

3.  DO WHATEVER IT TAKES 1.  Anything that gets you moving around counts as physical activity!

Activities like basketball, gardening, jogging, walking, dancing will do!

4.  WORKOUT BUDDY 1.  Working out with a friend helps tremendously; motivating each other

to stay healthy! 5.  PRINCIPLE

1.  Think the F.I.T.T. Principle: F= frequency (how often you exercise); I= intensity (how hard you exercise); T=time (how long you exercise); T= type (what type of exercise are you doing) – remembering this will help to keep the body challenged and complete the workout—you’ll see results cardio endurance, body fat, weight, and strength

6.  CHANGE IT EVR 4-6 WEEKS 1.  Once the body adapts to the workouts then add on to the F.I.T.T.

principal. F= adding one more day; I=adding on to the workout (if walking then add a sprint); T= add 10- 15 minutes; T= change the type of exercise (cycling)

1. YOGA = means unite the mind, body, and soul. 2. Originated in India over 3,000 years ago 3. Not just stretching; yoga is about creating balance in the body by developing strength and flexibility

Types: Bikram yoga: known as "hot yoga.” practiced in rooms heated to more than 100° F and focuses on stamina and purification. Gentle yoga: Gentle yoga focuses on slow stretches, flexibility, and deep breathing. Restorative yoga: allows the body to fully relax by holding simple postures passively for extended periods of time. Vinyasa/power yoga: improve strength, flexibility, and stamina. *most popular in the USA

Benefits: improves flexibility strength balance stamina reduces anxiety/stress improves mental clarity even helps them sleep better

Transition slide: what muscles are affected while walking, jogging, and running

http://www.flickr.com/photos/kenilio/4369856832/

15

Muscles Used While Walking

Calf muscles: (walking develops calf muscles) provides the upward and forward momentum for the "pushoff" phase of walking (lifts the heel off the ground) Tibialis anterior and ankle extensor muscles: run along the anterior side of each shin, raise the toes and foot during the leg's forward motion (or "swing") phase. The muscles then lower the toes and foot as the heel hits the ground. Hamstring muscles: Walking's pushoff phase (hip extension) works the hamstring muscles in the back of the thighs. Quadriceps muscles: These muscles at the front of the thighs are used as each leg is extended. Hip flexor muscles: The hip flexor muscles lift the thigh forward in the "swing" phase of the stride. Buttock muscles: Rocking the hips during brisk walking works the gluteal (butt) muscles. Abdominal muscles: walking with natural, upright posture can strengthen the abdominal muscles. Arm and shoulder muscles: These muscles are used when you pump your arms vigorously, up to chest or shoulder level, while walking (the left arm swings forward naturally as the right leg strides ahead, and vice versa).

1. Jogging helps build lean tissue, burn body fat and develop a flat stomach.. Also raises metabolism rate. 2. Jogging workouts are useful for bodybuilding and muscle-building, as they strengthen and develop the bottom, hip, thigh and calf muscles. They work the gluteal muscles in the bottom, the major muscles in the hips, the biceps, muscles in the hamstrings; the quads and anterior calf muscles. 3. Primary muscles: quadriceps, hamstrings and calves Assistance muscles: hip flexors, lower back (erector spinae), abdominals, obliques, shoulders and upper back (the latter two groups are used as stabilizers while jogging)

3 stages: Support: The initial stage of running involves one foot lifted from the ground and the other remaining on the ground as support.

Ilio Tibial Band of the supporting leg The lower back muscles The abdominal muscles are all used to support the pelvis and keep

1. For example, when a soccer player runs toward the goal, the hamstring muscles are stretched each time a leg swings forward. This pre-stretch gives the hamstrings a boost when they contract, rocketing the leg backward, and thrusting the player toward the ball or the goal. Pre-stretching a muscle is a great way to boost muscle power output, and save energy 2. reducing one's training for one to three weeks prior to competition - can produce dramatic improvements in performance – tapering boosts competitive efforts by increasing the elasticity of muscles (enhances the way in which muscles use stored elastic energy) 3.  Let your muscle adapt and gain muscle memory 4.  Eat right; enough carbs and nutrients (for example the before track meets,

runners have a carbo load) you need all the energy you got so you don’t break down

5.  Sleep allows the muscles relax and strengthen

Recommended to stretch AT least 3 days in a week.

1. Warming up: increases your heart and respiratory rate boosts the amount of nutrients and oxygen delivered to your muscles prepares the body for a demanding workout makes it easier to burn calories extends your workout

2. Stretching an increase in flexibility and joint range of motion doing it right; correct exercise posture relaxed muscles

Stop if it hurts. Stretching should never hurt. If you have reached a point in your stretch where it hurts, relax to where it feels comfortable and hold the stretch. Maintain each stretch for 10–30 seconds. Holding a stretch for any less 10 seconds won’t do anything; you have to hold it to allow the muscle to lengthen. Avoid bobbing. Bobbing or bouncing while stretching may damage the muscle you are stretching. This damage may even cause scar tissue to form. Scar tissue tightens muscles and can get in the way of flexibility. Remember to breathe. Breathing is a necessary part of any workout, including stretching.

3. Cooling down: slow your heart rate to a normal speed return your breathing to its regular pace avoid stiffness and soreness of the muscles reduce any risk of dizziness and lightheadedness relax the muscles

1. Isotonic contraction: muscle contraction in which the muscle (shortening or lengthening) changes against a counterforce, as in free opening and closing of the jaws 2. Eccentric contraction: therapeutic technique involving the lengthening of a muscle against pressure 3. Concentric contraction: movement accompanied by a shortening of the muscle as in the lifting phase of a biceps curl

Lifting = looking like the incredible hulk? Technique Don’t go crazy Combine exercises

1. Toning = the restoration of muscle and the simultaneous decrease of fat. combination of weight training, aerobic exercise and good eating habits are most effective for fat loss and toning

2. Many people think toning is lifting light weights with high repetitions, but to tone the body, one must have to lift heavy to let the muscles grow. Once satisfied with the size of the muscles then one needs to cut body fats for muscles to show up. 3. Technique And Form

Wrong form occurs usually when people try to lift weights that are too heavy. As a guide, always lift with strict focus on the muscle you intend to build for that exercise. Feel it contract and extend. Lift the weights deliberately and slowly. Never ever swing your weights up especially when doing bicep curls or the military press 4, tips:

a. Train Intensively But Do Not Over train You must train intensively for your muscle to grow. Try to do more reps or add more weight than the previous session or else your muscles will think (actually muscles don't think, they adapt), it is important that every time you train hard, you give your body time to recover as it has suffered strains and actually sustained many small scarring. Contrary to popular belief, your muscles grow when you rest, especially when you sleep and not in the gym. So sleep at least 8 hours a day. Also, do not train everyday or work the same muscle group more than once or twice a week. If your training was vigorous enough, do no more than an hour per session. Try not to do cardio work on the same day as your weight lifting work. In fact, during the muscle building phase, you should do less cardio work as aerobic exercises burn muscles. You can increase your cardio work at cutting body fat phase, so as to lose body fat in order for your muscle tone to show up nicely.

b. Train With Compound Exercises Incorporate as many compound exercises as possible to your routines. Compound exercises are exercises that involve 2 or more joint movements. Because they utilize more joints, which means greater muscle mass are involved. Greater muscle mass means heavier weights. Heavier weights mean encouragement of greater muscle growth. More muscle growth means more tone to your muscles. Some excellent compound exercises are the Squat, Deadlift, Chin ups, Dips, Bench press, Barbell Press, Lunges, Bent-Over Barbell Row...etc.

BUILDING MUSCLE

1. Enlargement is produced only by frequent periods of high intensity exercises in which the muscles work against a high resistance 2 and 3: MORE REPS MORE WEIGHTS

both increasing the amount of repetitions increases the muscle strength and the more weight the more muscle grows 4. Tougher through the ages

Reason it is difficult for older people to increase their physical strength is because of reduced muscle mass, which is due to a loss of muscle fibers and to the decrease in the size of fast-twitch muscle fibers.

When you're using your muscles to work against the extra pounds (this concept is called resistance). This strengthens and increases the amount of muscle mass in your body by making your muscles work harder than they're used to.

1.  You body moves by muscles contracting and relaxing (like a rubber band) 2.  Short definition of a strain = stretching out your muscle too far 3.  Mostly happens if someone does not stretch before a workout which allows

the blood to circulate to muscles.. STRETCH 4.  Strain is different than a sprain- sprain is where there is a pain in the

muscle (muscle bruise) and the ligaments have been overstretched or torn feels like it’s broken

5.  Treatment: reduce swelling by icing and elevating and lots of rest is recommended

1.  Memorization is Key! 1.  Memorization of motor skills– once the body does the same motion

over and over again then the muscle adapts 2. In sleep quote

2.  Muscle memory thus becomes an unconscious process. The muscles grow accustomed to certain types of movement. This is extremely important in different types of training for sports. The more often you do a certain activity, the more likely you are to do it as needed, when needed. If you’ve kicked thousands of field goals, exercise physiologists assume that the likelihood of being able to kick one during an American football game is pretty good through muscle memory. You don’t have to think, “I need to make this kick.” Your body already knows how to do it.

3. Practice make perfect Most top level athletes and performers in a variety of fields believe that muscle memory is best developed when the same activities are practiced over and over again, with any corrections of form that are needed. Continual practice may mean you can make that perfect golf swing every single time (or almost), or hit a high note every time if you’re a singer.

4.  Prove it! 4.  Athletes (speed skating: bending down and basketball: shooting a

jump shot); babies learning how to walk

1.  Plateauing- means if you do the same routine everyday and every week, your body adapts to it and doesn’t become a workout anymore and there will be no results

2.  By changing your workout out it causes “muscle confusion” which is allowing your muscles to think and work out different muscles that your memory has not recognized. Muscle confusion isn’t just changing your routine, it can also be adding more weights

3.  Tips: Change the type of equipment used - You can the one workout use

resistance bands in the next workout changed to dumbbells. One workout you can do pull ups the next workout you can use resistance bands to do the same exercise.

Change the exercises you perform - While this is not possible if you're doing the P90X workout, but once you have moved on to doing your own workouts you can change the type of exercises. For example, if you're doing incline dumbbell presses... you can also perform incline bench presses or use a hammer strength incline machine if you have one at your gym.

Change the amount of rest between exercises - This is an old trick to getting more intensity of your workout. If you normally rest for two minutes between exercises, reduce it to one minute.

1.  right kind of exercise does many great things for your body and soul: It can strengthen your heart and muscles, lower your body fat, and reduce your risk of many diseases.

2.  People take advantage of exercising and instead of doing it to feel good and healthier they think about losing weight obsessively

3.  Athletes tend to over exercise because they think that to over work everyday then they’ll get better, but the body needs rest and overdoing will cause injuries like muscle strains or fractures

4. Signs force yourself to exercise, even if you don't feel well? prefer to exercise rather than being with friends? become very upset if you miss a workout? base the amount you exercise on how much you eat? have trouble sitting still because you think you're not burning calories? worry that you'll gain weight if you skip exercising for a day?

5. Seek help from a doctor if exercising has become an addiction

1. QUOTE: The human body needs a balanced intake of foods which include nutrients to secure a healthy living

2.  3 main types of foods: Protein (beans, meats, fish), lipids (healthy fats; avoid trans fat), and carbohydrates (good carbs like whole grains)

Organic molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen Sugar

Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, and Polysaccharides Structural isomers

1. FUEL AND BUILD MATERIAL 2. Include sugars and polymers; sugars like Monosaccharides (serves as the fuel and carbon sources for cells) and Disaccharides (two monosaccharides– it’s table suger) and polysaccharides (serve as storage material-provides sugar to cells) 3. Chains build off each other mono- (one) di- (two) poly- (many) 4. Intake is of great importance and those athletes who neglect this specific intake in their diet will eventually lead to glycogen depletion, which will definitely effect their training causing 'staleness' that will hinder the ability to train and compete.

Hydrocarbon chains Insoluble Triglyceride Two Types of Fats QUOTE

1. Bands consists of hydrogen and carbon this makes it… insoluble… 2. does not dissociate in water; stays in tact (doesn’t melt) 3. Major form of energy storage 4. Saturated fats: stay in heart (longer; harder to break down ; increased cholesterol) Unsaturated: shorter chains; not bad for anybody 5. It supplies energy to muscles during activity. How much fat a person needs depends upon his or her activity level. As a general guideline, fat should make up 20 percent to 35 percent of your total calories with less than 10 percent coming from unhealthy, saturated fats.

1.  Water can never hurt you- no calories, fats, oils, sugar.. Just a drink that replenishes you.

2.  Our body is 2/3 water= when becoming dehydrated means that the amount of water in a body need to function has dropped below the level; causes the person to feel sick

3.  As an athlete sweat and lose water like crazy; by drinking water every 20 mins, this allows the body to restore and replenish and doesn’t allow weak performance

4.  Symptoms of dehydration include feeling dizzy and lightheaded, having dry mouth, and producing less urine or darker urine

2.  Calculating: Finding out your BMR can be easily found, going to a website: type in the gender, your age, your weight, your height (I lose 1438 calories)

3.  Getting older- active early as a child: As you get older, it is harder for the body to burn calories; if you were active as a child then it builds muscle memory which increases your chance of having a high BMR as you get older

4.  Exercising: Regular routine of exercising increases your BMR; cardio allows the heart rate to speed up

1.  Stimulates the uptake of blood glucose (sugar aka energy aka atp) into muscles

2. Chemicals that naturally relieve pain and lift mood. These chemicals are released in your body during and after a workout and they go a long way in helping to control stress.

3. Aids bone construction (produced in the thyroid glands) 4. Produced within the adrenal glands (small glands located at the top of each

kidney), adrenaline works with noradrenaline to produce the "fight or flight" response by increasing the supply of oxygen to the brain and muscles, dilating the pupils, and suppressing bodily functions not useful in an emergency situation (such as digestion)

5.  stimulates growth during childhood and also stimulates cell reproduction, which helps adults maintain muscle and bone mass.

A lack of these vitamins and minerals causes problems in the muscular system.

Vitamin B6: important for normal brain and nerve function. It also helps the body break down proteins and make red blood cells--potatoes, bananas, beans, seeds, nuts, red meat, poultry, fish, eggs, spinach, and fortified cereals.

Calcium: vital for building strong bones and teeth. The time to build strong bones is during childhood and the teen years, so it's very important to get enough calcium now to fight against bone loss later in life. Weak bones are susceptible to a condition called osteoporosis, which causes bones to break easily.--Milk and other dairy products — such as yogurt, cheese, and cottage cheese

Potassium: helps with muscle and nervous system function. It also helps the body maintain the balance of water in the blood and body tissues.--found in broccoli, potatoes (with skins), green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, bananas, dried fruits, and legumes such as peas and lima beans

Chlorine/Sodium:

Iron: helps red blood cells carry oxygen to all parts of the body.-- rich foods include red meat, pork, fish and shellfish, poultry, lentils, beans and soy foods, green leafy vegetables, and raisins.

Daily physical activity is necessary for building strong bones and muscles as well as strengthening hearts and lungs. Exercise also helps young children to improve their gross motor skills, including running, kicking, throwing, and swinging. Regular physical activity can greatly decrease children's risk of becoming obese and developing associated health problems, as well as promoting better sleep.

Obesity is defined as a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater. BMI is calculated from a person's weight and height and provides a reasonable indicator of body fatness and weight categories that may lead to health problems. Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, certain types of cancer, and type 2 diabetes. During the past 20 years there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States.
