Fitness is not fun for me.
It is a chore.
A bill that must be paid.
An obligation to my body
. . . And it is torture.
Okay, well that is not entirely true.
Truly, everything I just wrote was a vast exaggeration, and
intended only to catch your attention. But for some people, and maybe some of
you-those are not exaggerations at all.
It seems that most of America has forgotten to value fitness
and exercise- choosing instead Big Macs and Biggest Loser on the television. We
enjoy watching Bob, Jillian and Dolvet punish those people who have let their
weight escape control, without realizing that our sedentary lifestyles are
creeping dangerously close to those of the Biggest Loser contestants.
We fail to realize the weight (literally) of the issue.
According to an article on the University of Michigan’s website, “The percentage of teens who are overweight has more than tripled in the past twenty years”. Now, according to that same website, 4.7 MILLION youths age 6-17 are “severely overweight”.
According to an article on the University of Michigan’s website, “The percentage of teens who are overweight has more than tripled in the past twenty years”. Now, according to that same website, 4.7 MILLION youths age 6-17 are “severely overweight”.
A large (again,
pun intended) part of the issue is our sedentary lifestyles, filled with
television, video games and technology. Our failure to be fit is causing our
bodies to fail. Obesity carries with it several devastating health risks, as
seen in the chart below.
Although it is a drastically important reason to stay fit,
often times we fall into the thinking that avoiding obesity is the only reason
to be fit. We compare our body weight to those around us, on television or at
Walmart, and then decide whether we
need to “workout to lose weight”. When we decide those around us weigh more than us, we may use
it as an excuse not to be active.
But the benefits of exercise are endless. Starting with the maintenance
of weight, the benefits of exercise just continue with the release of
endorphins, the lowering of blood pressure and the increase to our “good”
cholesterol.
There are too many more to list, but the important thing to
remember is that everyone, whether
the appropriate weight or not, needs to be physically active for good health.
The first step is to start. Find out where you are, and
figure out how to improve. If you are a couch potato, time to walk.
An athlete?
Time to become elite.
The important thing with fitness is to find what you love, what you can sustain, and what you can
do everyday to fight for your fitness.

1. Dr. Richard Carmona is the person talking about how obesity is the most pressing issue in America. It kills more than 112,000 people every year. They are saying that obesity is rising, and that back in say, 1995, there were way less overweight people than there are today.
2. Exercise lets us fight off and prevent diseases, as well as better sleep. For me, exercise makes me feel good. Not during, but after exercise you get that feeling of being refreshed.
3. Exercise shows the best treatment of many problems. The best thing you can do for your health is exercise 30 minutes a day. Lack of exercise is the biggest cause of preventable death. Now, when you do exercise, you should think, “How much?” “How often?” and “How intense?”. Fifty percent of heart problems decreased in women with exercise. The average American spends 5 hours in front of the TV! I think the presentation is called “23 ½ hours” because that’s the amount of time every day you can sit or sleep. The title makes exercise seem like a very quick activity.
4. I clicked on “How to adopt an active lifestyle.” One thing I learned is that you can exercise with friends, which makes you want to exercise more often. Dancing is a fun way to exercise, and I can’t say I disagree! Trying out a new sport could work too.
5. I got 18 points, which means I’m pretty good with fitness. I could add more types of exercise to my routine to make it better. I do plan on doing yoga once tennis is over, because I don’t have enough time currently.
6. Before my walk, my pulse was 60 bpm. After, my heart rate was 72 bpm. I could do 20 pushups without taking a break, though the last four or five were a bit slower. The best I could reach was 97 centimeters. My waist is 32 ½ inches around, and my BMI is 25.1. To improve these results, I could eat healthier and do pushups every day. I could exercise more, too. Doing yoga would increase my flexibility.
7. “What you can sustain” means something you could do your whole life. You could do tennis or swimming your whole life, but not football. Keeping up on exercise is vital to remain healthy your whole life.

1) The man in the first video is, Dr. Richard Carmona U.S Surgeon General. He says the most pressing issue we have in America is obesity. In one year obesity killed 112,000 people. The video says that “We may be producing a generation of children whose life expectancy may be less than our own.”
2) A few examples of why it s good to exercise are: improve mood, boost energy, better sleep, put a spark back in your sex life, exercise is fun! The benefits I get from exercise are taking my shirt off in front of girls when its hot out, getting a lot of complements, and being happy when I look in a mirror.
3) The treatment that the doctor talks about is exercise! The doctor says that the best thing you can do for your health is spend half an hour to an hour being active. The strongest predictor of death in a population is low fitness. Three thing to consider about the “dose” are how much, how often and how intense. Women’s heart disease rates went down almost 50%. The average American adult watches about five hours per day. It is called 23.5 hours because he asks us if we could limit our sitting or sleeping to just 23.5 hours a day.
4) I read about over coming mental barriers and as I read about this I realized the only thing that keeps me from working out all the time is school and homework.
5) On the quiz I scored 33 points. What I can do to improve my points is not sit at school in a desk all day long every single day for eight hours over and over again.
6) My results for the fitness tests are 96bpm, 75 push ups, 16 inches on flexibility, a 31 inch waist and my BMI is 24.7. I can improve my results by working out more and eating healthier.
7) I think you are asking what can we keep. If we are working out how long and what can we sustain is what I think you are asking. This is important to keep us working har
1. The man in the first video was Dr. Richard Carmona, U.S. Surgeon General. He said the most pressing issue facing the U.S is obesity and it has killed 112,000 in a year. The video says this generation of American kid’s life expectancy might be shorter and the population is the heaviest in America history.
ReplyDelete2. Some benefits of exercising are improving your mood, gives you energy, and better sleep. These are all good for me because after school I am tired, but after I exercise I am happier and more awake.
3. The treatment the doctor was talking about was exercising and it is the best thing to do to your heart. In the graph the highest in predictor of death is low exercise. Three things to do with the dose is how much, how often, and the intensity level. For women’s heart disease it has lowed by half, if you exercise. The average adult watches about 5 hours of TV a day. This video is called 23 ½ hours because it is limiting you to sitting, and sleeping 23 ½ hours a day and the rest should be exercising.
4. I took the quiz and it told me I’m physically active, but I’m not quite meeting recommended levels. I looked at some of the links and I saw in the NHS choices that exercising affects your metal health and when I am tired it could be my mind thinking it.
5. My score on the quiz was 30. After I took the test I thought I should walk more during the day. One thing I can do is when I’m sitting down and I need something I should get it myself, instead of asking someone to get it for me.
6. It took me 17:49 to walk one mile. Before the walk my heart rate was 60 beats and after my walk my heart rate was 108 beats. I did 10 push-ups before I got tired. I tried the stretch with the measuring stick and I was four inches away from touching my toes. I measured my waist and I am 31 inches and my BMI is 18.3.
7. What I can sustain means to me is keep up by being active and staying fit. An example is sustaining a time in running. It is important to sustain what you can do because your body can get in better shape and stronger.

“RCT32!!!!!”
1.The man in the video was DR. Richard Carmona. This man was saying that obesity is the number one problem in our country today. The problem our country is worried about is terrorism. Terrorism only took 28 US citizens lives! Obesity took 112000 lives in 2006 when terrorism only took 28 that is crazy to think about when we are all focused on terrorists!! This generation of children is the most overweight generation in history.
2 .Something that you haven’t talked about that I like in this passage is that when you exercise it puts you in a good mood and it just lets all of your energy out. I mainly exercise for football because I want to be a good big fast strong football player and it only makes me better if I work out. I also like to exercise because who doesn’t want to look good! There are so many benefits to exercising you would be stupid not to.
3. – The treatment that the doctor is talking about in the second video is 23 and half an hours.
- The best thing that you can do for your health is exercise.
-The worst death predictor in the US was low fitness
- The 3 doses are how long how often and how intense. And we need to consider these things wisely.
- The woman reduced their heart disease rates by almost half.
-The average adult in the USA tends to watch 5 hours of TV in one day!!
-The doctor calls it 23 and an half hours because he only wants us to exercise 30 minutes to a hour a day.
4. Took the Quiz. My score was good. On the useful link page I found out that you should exercise 150 minutes a week. And for beginners it is recommended to do 3 times a day for 10 minutes so you are breaking the time up.
5. My overall score was a 21 and I’m living a fitness life it says. I could run more and I’m going to start running a mile 5 times a week.
6. when I did the brisk walk my heart beat was 125 because walking doesn’t get me tired I feel like I can walk forever without getting tired or anything!
When I did the push up test I could only do 37 in a row because I’m strong but my muscles don’t have very good endurance.
When I did the I did the sit and reach I got 24 inches I used to be able to get 30 in 8th grade! I should be stretching a lot more.
My waist was a 36 inch and I don’t know if that’s big or not. My bmi was that I was overweight and I don’t think that that’s the case.
7. It means can you sustain like the exercises you do and you have to find the stuff that you like to do and do it for you exercises to make them more enjoyable. And so you don’t quit all you exercise and keep with them.

1) The mans name is Dr. Richard Carmona, and Obesity is the issue. 112,000 people were killed. This generation has the heaviest generation in American history.
2) Exersize improves peoples moods, and boosts energy, both of those are things I could use! :) Others that are helpful, are that it gives you better sleep, and it can be fun all around!
3) medicine is the exersize.
Excersize was the best thing you could do for your health.
Cardio respiratory fitness.
At our age, an hour a day is our "does".
One hour a week, decreased chances by almost half.
The Average American Adult About 5 hours a day watching TV.
This was called 23 1/2 hours because basically what he was saying was, between sitting, and sleeping, do you not have one half hour to get out and get active?
4) Jumping rope burns 110 calories in 10 minutes! One of the best things you can do, is just walk, it helps with almost every aspect of fitness!
5) My score was 9, I am average, I could walk more than I do. Work on my sport ALOT more, and it was a good idea to do little exersizes while I watch TV! :)
6) 98 beats per minute. 7 push ups.
7) What you can keep up, and what you can acctually do!

1. The man talking in the video is Dr. Richard Carmona (US Surgeon General). He says that the most pressing issue today is obesity. In that year it was estimated that 112,000 were killed from obesity. The video says that this generation of children is the heaviest in American history.

6. A) 66-before, 78-after. B) 31 push-ups before I had to stop. C) I reached 18 ½ inches. D) My BMI is 21.98. My plan would be to go to crossfit daily and try to beat the best time. I will do this by getting rid of my excuses that I try to give so I don’t have to go.

ReplyDelete2. One of the benefits stuck out to me a lot. This benefit was that exercise improves mood. I think this can be true especially for me. Right before I go for a run I don’t want to but when I’m done sometimes I feel like doing it again!

- The treatment the doctor was talking about in the second video was exercise.
- The doctor specifically says that the best thing you can do for your health is spend half an hour to an hour being active.
- The strongest predictor of death according to the bar graph was low fitness levels.
- The three things to consider about the “dose” are how long, how often, and how intense.
- Women’s heart disease rates were decreased by almost half because of exercise.
- The average American adult spends about 5 hours a day watching TV.
- The doctors talk is called 23 ½ hours because he is challenging us to limit our sitting and sleeping to 23 ½ hours a day. If we did that we would get 30 minutes of exercise each day.
4. I clicked on the “ten minute workout” link. I learned that adults can reach their minimum target of exercise by doing three 10-minute sessions, five days a week.
5. My score was 17, it said that my fitness level is good. I could set goals and work more on muscle building to raise my score on this test.
6. My BMI did not even show up on a BMI table I found, so I had to find a BMI calculator and that told me that my BMI was 17.2. My waist circumference is 29.5 inches. My sit and reach trial #1 was 11 inches, my trial #2 was 13 inches and my trial #3 was 12 inches. I was only able to do 20 push-ups in a row. My resting heart rate before the mile walk was 90 bpm, after the walk it was 114 bpm. The mile walk took me about 12 minutes. In order to improve these results I need to continue to do them on a regular basis. I would also need to track my progress.
7. By saying “what you can sustain” I think you mean what you can do at a regular basis and continue to do it. Basically what is within your limits. It is important to know this so that you do not get injured.
1. The man in the fist video is Dr. Richard Carmona, U.S. Surgeon General. He says that the most pressing issue in America is obesity. Obesity killed 112,000 in one year. The video says that this generation of children is the most overweight ever, and they have a less life expectancy than their parents.
ReplyDelete2. Some benefits of exercise that you have not talked about are it helps you be in a good mood, it helps you control your weight, and it will give you more energy. Some benefits for me in exercise are they will keep me in shape so that I have more stamina in sports. Another benefit for me is that it will help me keep my weight at the right spot.
3. The treatment that the doctor is talking about in the video is exercise. The doctor says that the best thing that you can do for your health is exercise for at least thirty minutes a day maybe one hour. The strongest predictor of death in the population was low fitness. Three things to consider about the dose is how much, how often, and how intense. The amount of women’s heart disease was decreased by the treatment was reduced by almost half. The amount of TV that an average adult spends watching is five hours a day. The video is called 23 ½ hours, because that is the amount of time that you have that you don’t have to or should be exercising.
4. Some things that I learned from the link are that getting fit is not a very hard thing to do. Another thing that I learned is all you need is about 150 minutes of exercise a week to stay healthy that is about 30 minutes for five days.
5. The score that I got on the test was 17. Something that I can do to make me more active is to try harder to achieve my fitness goal for each week and eat healthier foods.
6. My pulse after walking a mile was 84 beats in a minute. My time in my mile was 9 min and 42 seconds and my pulse for that mile was 90 beats. The number of push ups that I did was 38. The distance that I could reach stretching was 11 inches twice and I reached 12 inches once. My bmi is 18.1. A way that I am going to improve these is work out more, eat more, and exercise more.
7. What you mean by what you can sustain is what you can do everyday to keep your fitness level at the right level. This is important because if your fitness level is not at the right level then you might find yourself becoming obese.

7. What I think it means by what you can sustain is how far you can push your body. It is important because we don’t want to push are body to hard or we will hurt ourselves.
1. Dr. Richard Carmona is the man in the first video. The most pressing issue is obesity. There are at least 110,000 people killed per year. This generation is the heaviest in history.
ReplyDelete2. Some benefits that are helpful are: exercise controls weigh, exercise combats health conditions and diseases, exercise boosts energy, and exercise can be fun. Some benefits that help me are that exercising is fun and it controls my weight.
3. The intervention is called breadth.
The best thing you can do is exercise and walking.
The strongest predictor was low fitness.
The three things are how long, how much and how often.
They were reduced by almost half.
They spend an average of 5 hours a day.
He calls it the 23.5 hours because the question, “Can you limit your sitting and sleeping to just 23.5 hours.”
4. At least 60 minutes of physical activity every day, this should be a variety of moderate-intensity aerobic activity. On three days a week, these activities should involve muscle-strengthening activities, such as push-ups, and bone-strengthening activities, such running.

7. You mean that what can you do and what can your body hold before it breaks. It is important because if you go past what you can sustain you are prone to injury and worse.
1. The man in the first video is Dr. Richard Carmona, the U.S. Surgeon General. He says that the “biggest” (heh) issue facing America today is obesity. In a year, obesity kills 112,000 people. The video says that this generation of American children is the heaviest and has the shortest life expectancy.
ReplyDelete2. Some benefits of exercise you have not talked about are a better mood and a boost of energy. I have personally noticed that when I exercise, I am in a better mood and I sleep better at night. This more restful sleep helps me sustain that good mood and gives me a high energy level.
3. The treatment the doctor is talking about is exercise. He says that a half an hour of exercise is the best medicine. On the graph, the strongest predictor of death in a population was low fitness. The three things to consider about the dose are the time, intensity, and frequency. Women’s heart disease rates were decreased by half. The average American adult watches 5 hours of T.V. a day. The talk is called 23 and a half hours because he challenges you to limit your resting to 23 and a half hours a day.
4. In the link about the ten minute workouts, I learned that adults should have 150 minutes of aerobic exercise every week. I also learned that you can easily get there by doing three ten minute exercises, five times a week. I also learned of good techniques to fit exercise in your day, such as cycling in front of the tv instead of sitting on the couch.
5. I got a score of 10, which is average. I could increase this score by eating healthier, setting and meeting goals, and exercising more. I could also watch less T.V.
6. My pulse before the walk was 78 bpm and it was 120 bpm afterwards. My time was 21 minutes and 3 seconds. I can improve this by running every day and increase my heart rate every time. I can do 20 pushups in a row before resting. I can increase this by pushing myself to do more every day. My distance on the flexibility test was 18 inches. I can increase this number by stretching every day. My waist circumfrence is 35 inches. My BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9 which is normal. I don’t need to improve these results because I am at the recommended level. I could work on making more of that weight into muscle though.
7. “What you can sustain” means that you sould be able to keep up the exercise indefinitely. It is important not to make the exercise seasonal and make it a daily thing.
1. The guy in the first video was Dr. Richard Carmona. He said that the most pressing issue facing America was obesity. This issue killed 11,200 people. The video says that kids in this generation aren’t really expected to keep their fitness like back then.
ReplyDelete2. Some benefits from exercising that Ms. Bonine did not talk about are it improves you’re mood, it lets you get better sleep, and it helps you with your sex life. The benefits for me in exercising would be better sleep and boosts energy.
3. The treatment the doctor is talking about in the second video is the 23 ½ hours. The doctor says that the best thing you can do for your body is exercising. According to the graph the stronger predictor of death is low fitness. Three things to consider about the dose is how much, how often, and how intense. Women’s heart disease decrease by treatment by almost half. The average adult spends about five hours a day watching TV. The doctors talk is called 23 ½ hours because he wants you to limit your sleeping and siting to only 23 ½ hours a day.
4. I clicked on 150 minutes. I learned that adults should do 150 minutes aerobic activity per week. These things can be walking, riding a bike, playing double tennis, or water aerobics. Also doing errands and shopping can add to your 150 minutes of exercise.
5. My score was 19. How I could improve with this is by basing my workouts more on strength.
6. My pulse before my walk was 84 beats per minute. After my walk my pulse was 144 beats per minute. For the muscular fitness test I could do 20 pushups without stopping. On the flexibility test my best reach was 23 inches. For the last test the length around my waist was 34 inches. My BMI was 17092.54.
7. What Ms. Bonine means about what you can sustain is what your body can handle without going into the danger zone of passing out. This is important because you don’t want to over work your body and risk to a heart attack.
1) The man in the first video is Dr. RIchard Carmona, U.S. Surgeon General. He says the most pressing issue facing America is obesity. This issue killed 112,000 in one year. This video says that this generation of American children is the heaviest generation in American history.
ReplyDelete2) Some benefits of exercise are: it helps control your weight, it helps prevent diseases and sicknesses, it improves your mood, it helps to boost your energy level, it helps to give a more restful sleep, and it can be fun. Exercise benefits me because when I’m done I always feel better overall and I have more energy.
3) The “intervention” or “treatment” the the Dr. is talking about is fitness. The Dr. says specifically that the best thing you can do for your health is a half hour, maybe even a full hour, of being active. The strongest predictor of death in a population is low fitness. The three things to consider about the “dose” are: how . Women’s heart disease rates decreased by half by the “treatment”. The average American adult spends 5 hours a day watching tv. The Dr.’s talk is called “23 1/2 Hours” because exercise only takes half an hour, and then after that we can spend the rest of the day doing what we need to do.
4) Exercise helps with our mental state. Working out relieves depression, tension, confusion, and fatigue. It replaces these things with a boost of energy. Also, when you achieve a goal in exercise you reach something called ‘mastery’. This helps give you self-confidence and a self-esteem boost. These things are help a lot with overall mental health. People tend to use the excuse “I’m too tired” to get out of working out. When in reality, most people are suffering from mental fatigue.

1. Dr. Richard Carmona U.S. Surgeon General talks at the beginning of the video saying that obesity is the #1 killer in America killing over 112,000 a year. This is the heaviest generation of American children.
2. I work out simply for self esteem. It makes you feel really good if you went really hard during a workout. Even though it hurts while you’re working out, it’s a good kind of hurt knowing you’re doing your body well and taking care of it the way it should be.
3. The intervention or treatment is exercise; taking 30 minutes to an hour walking. That is the best thing you can do. The 3 things to consider in your “doses” of exercise is : how long, how often, and how intense. In a study of this women’s heart disease rates went down almost 50%. The average American watches 5 hours of TV a day! That shocked me! So in the end the 23 ½ hours means, can you limit your sitting and sleeping to 23 ½ hours and take 30 minutes to get active.
4. I need to do a little bit more exercise! Maybe up to 5 days a week instead of 3 or 4!
5. My score was 16. Something I could do is start going to basketball training more and having a good mix of all the excersies.
7. What you can sustain means to me what is the most I can do to make my level of fitness the best possible. To just work at getting better but not killing my body at the same time. It’s important because it keeps your body healthy but not hurt.
1) Surgeon general Dr. Richard Carmona. He says the most pressing issue in America is obesity. Obesity kills 112,000 Americans every year. They say it’s the heaviest generation in American children.
ReplyDelete2) Exercising can help improve moods and how you deal with stress. For me personally it gives the benefit of boosting my energy. I’m usually super tired, but if I work out more often I’ll have more energy and feel better during the day.
3) The intervention he’s talking about is walking/exercise. The best thing you can do for your health according to the video is spend half an hour being active. The strongest predictor of death is low fitness. Three things to consider are how much, how often, how intense. Women’s heart disease rates went down 88%. The average American spends 5 hours a day watching tv. His video is called 23 ½ hours, because if you spend 30 minutes of your day working out you’ll live longer.
4) I learned that I could be in a lot better shape if I tried harder and worked more.
5) 15. I could work a little harder during practice.
6)
7) It means like how much we can take. By seeing how much we can take we can see how good of shape we are in and how we can improve and what we need to work on. It’s a good motivator for some people too.

The strongest death in the population was low fitness. Three things of dose is how much, often and intense. It was decreased by half. About 5 hours of tv per day.

Consider adding different activities or varying your program to maintain interest and motivation. Examine your activities to see if you have a good balance of aerobic activity, flexibility, and strength” I could stretch more to get a better score.
6. For the mile walk my heart rate did not increase a lot. For the push-ups I can do 52 all at once. For the sit and reach I don’t have a yard stick but I can touch my toes. My BMI is 23.1.
7. What you can sustain is really meant as what you can maintain. It is important to sustain a workout so you can continue it and drop out of it.

Some benefits in exercise are that regular exercise can leave you feeling energized and looking better, which may have a positive effect on your sex life, and exercise can also be fun, it can help people connect with others. Some benefits there are for me, is weight control, and improved energy.
3. The “intervention” that the doctor is talking about in the video is exercise (mostly walking triathlons).
The BEST thing you can do for your health is spend half an hour being active.
The strongest predictor of death in a population was Low Fitness.
Three things to consider about the “dose” are “How Long”, “How Often”, and “How Intense”.
Women’s heart disease rates due to the “treatment” were decreased by almost half.
The average American adult spends about five hours a day watching tv.
The Dr.’s talk is called 23 1/2 hours because he wants us to limit our sitting and sleeping to 23 1/2 hours of our day, and exercise for at least half an hour.

6. Walk: 11:29. Heart rate before: 78 Heart rate after: 85
Push ups: 27
Flexibility: 5 inches
22 % body fat.
I can improve these results by exercising more and eating a more variety of foods.
7. I think by “What you can sustain” is what you can keep your body at a constant level of fitness. It’s important because without a good constant level of fitness, it affects your health in negative ways that’ll also affect your life in the long run.

1. The man in the first video is Dr. Richard Carmona and he says the most pressing issue in the U.S. is Obesity. This year it has killed about 112,000 people and that our children today are growing up to become that and are getting used to it.
2. Some things about exercise are that it can make you in a better mood and it can give you a lot more energy than you have had.
3. He is talking about Knee Arthritis and the best thing you can do for your health is to Exercise. The most things leading to death was low fitness and 3 things to consider are How much, How often, and How intense. Women’s Heart Rate was decreased by about half and the average adult watches 3 hours a day. The other half an hour you can exercise and the 23 and ½ you can do whatever.
4. Did it.
5. I got a 12 and that is about average. I could go to the gym more often.
6. I walked the mile in 20 minutes and my pulse before was 72 and after was 107. I did 23 pushups. I can get about 17 inches if I push myself. My body is thin and how I will improve is by working out more.
7. You mean the everyone has a different body and everyone can sustain different things and its important because knowing you can do some things unequally is good.
1. The man in the first video is a U.S. General Surgeon named Dr. Richard Carmona. He talks about that the most pressing issue America is facing isn’t terrorist but actually obesity. Obesity in one year killed about 112,000 people. This generation of children is said to have the shortest life expectancy than ever before.
ReplyDelete2. There were two benefits of exercise that you had not written, one was about people’s mood increasing by exercise and the other was about having extra boosts of energy throughout the day. Since I am always exercising my mood usually stays high, I usually always feel good and I feel like I am able to do a lot more in life with so much extra energy.
3. The treatment that helps so many people and in which the Doctor is talking about in the second video is exercise. He also says that the best thing we can do for our health is to be active for a half an hour daily. In the attributed factors graph the strongest predictor of death was low fitness. The three things to consider about the dose is how much, how often and how intense. The treatment being used decreased women’s heart disease rate by almost half. The average adult spends about 5 hours a day watching television. The Dr.’s video is called 23 ½ hours because he wants us to limit the sitting and sleeping to just that amount of time and the half an hour exercising.
4. The link I chose to go learn from was “10 minute workout”. This type of workout is just getting the minimum which is three sets of 10 minute workouts, 5 days a week. A few of the things it can prevent by staying active with these workouts are reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, and maintenance of your moving ability.
5. The score I received was a 32. In the section where I ended up it says I am getting ready for some sort of competition, which I am. So the test says I am doing really well and that I should just not overdo it.
6. The first part of the exercise is fast walking. In the fast walking my time was 8min 20sec it was a bit fast because during the walk I started to jog. My heart rate ended up being 72 beats per min. For the push-ups part my maximum amount without stopping was 83. On my flexibility the distance my hands reached was 41inches. My BMI that I received was about 19.6 %. I guess to improve these results I can walk on a daily bases and also stretch which will help my flexibility. For my push-ups I can work on doing those every day, but for my body fat percent I don’t really need to lose any more of mine.
7. What it means by “what you can sustain” is what can your body take is the question. For exercise its how much muscle can be put on and also what speed can you body take during a run and for how long a period of time. It is important to know how much each of our bodies can take in a workout so we do not over work ourselves which can lead up to bad problems.
