• Go over major muscles that are worked when lifted: bicep, triceps, quadriceps, hamstring, deltoid, trapezius, calf, abdominal
• Joints: where bones comes together
• Ligaments: connects bones to other bones
• Contractions: Concentric( or flexion) (shortening muscle, like bicep curl), eccentric (or extension) (lengthening of muscle, like when setting something down), isometric (hold the muscle, don’t lengthen or shorten, like a wall sit)
• Principle of Overload: To improve your level of physical fitness, you must increase the amount of activity or exercise that you perform normally. This can be accomplished by increasing the number of times you exercise over a period of time, increasing the duration (time) or length of time of each exercise period or increasing the intensity (how hard you work) during the exercise period.
• Sedentary Lifestyle is a lifestyle with no or irregular physical activity. A person who lives a sedentary lifestyle may be known as a “couch potato”. Sedentary activities include sitting, reading, watching TV, playing video games, and computer use for much of the day with little or no vigorous physical exercise. Sedentary lifestyle can contribute to many preventable causes of death.
• Aerobic exercise – means with oxygen. If exercise is not too fast and is rather steady, the heart can supply all the oxygen the muscles need. (i.e. Basketball or distance running)

• Anaerobic – means without oxygen – exercise done in short hard bursts. This cannot be done for very long because the heart cannot supply blood and oxygen to the muscles properly. (i.e. weight lifting or sprinting)

• F.I.T.T Principle – Frequency/Intensity/Time/Type; The rules to go by for any fitness program to get healthy.

• Max Heart Rate – 220-age
