...I have several fitness goals that I hope to accomplish by the end of this semester. I currently have no set exercise routine and due to my hectic work and school schedule, I have definitely become out of shape. Also, my current diet is not the best and lately I have been eating fast food several times a week. Although these things are hard to admit, I am very excited for the upcoming semester. I am taking both, low impact aerobics and pilates, and even a nutrition class, and I hope through my education in these courses, I will eventually be able to reach my fitness goals. Specifically for this class, I hope to develop much better cardiovascular endurance and in doing so get my resting heart rate to be in the low sixties. I also hope to be able to run a mile, without stopping, in under ten minutes. Another goal I have is to be able to increase my muscular strength sufficiently and have clear definition and tone to my body. I really hope to develop a stronger core and lose several inches around my waist. I would also love to increase my flexibility and significantly beat my results for the v-sit, push up and sit up tests we took last class. I hope once I get in better shape I am able to set aside specific time every day to work out and eventually develop a set exercise regimen. I also hope that by the end of the semester I will have eliminated fast food completely out of my diet and cut my sweets intake a significant amount. In doing all...

...Aerobics is a form of physical exercise that combines rhythmic aerobic exercise withstretching and strength training routines with the goal of improving all elements of fitness (flexibility, muscular strength, and cardio-vascular fitness). It is usually performed to music and may be practiced in a group setting led by an instructor (fitness professional), although it can be done solo and without musical accompaniment. With the goal of preventing illness and promoting physical fitness, practitioners perform various routines comprising a number of different dance-like exercises. Formal aerobics classes are divided into different levels of intensity and complexity. Aerobics classes may allow participants to select their level of participation according to their fitness level. Many gyms offer a variety of aerobic classes. Each class is designed for a certain level of experience and taught by a certified instructor with a specialty area related to their particular class. HISTORY Both the term and the specific exercise method were developed by Dr. Kenneth Cooper, M.D., an exercise physiologist, and Col. Pauline Potts, a physical therapist, both of the United States Air Force. Dr. Cooper, an avowed exercise enthusiast, was personally and professionally puzzled about why some people with excellent muscular strength were still prone to poor performance at tasks such as long-distance running, swimming, and bicycling. He began measuring systematic human performance using a bicycle ergometer...

...Name Institutional Affiliation Unhealthy Behavior: Not hitting the gym for aerobics Group Members: Three close friends Goals: Attend daily aerobics classes per week Baseline data: Aerobics is a form of physical exercise offered in gymnasiums and combines rhythmic exercises with stretching to improve cardio-vascular fitness, flexibility, and muscular strength and more importantly reduces predisposition to illnesses (Hales, 2008). With knowledge of these benefits, I and my friends registered for aerobics classes for daily exercising. However, my friends were found to be less active and skipped some classes. Instead of the usual daily one-hour-classes per week, two of my friends went for the aerobics for one per week and sometimes left the class after thirty minutes of exercise. The other third friend is more consistent than the other two and attends aerobics classes for three to four days in a week. The two friends who attend an average of one lesson per week argued that course work took much of their time hence could not attend the aerobics class. They argued that they would not attend aerobic classes even after finishing class work since they were too tired, thus attended the aerobics lessons only when they had no class work, but even then, they would rush out whenever they felt tired. However, they were aware of the benefits that are associated with aerobics. The other friend who attended aerobics classes for an average of three to four classes per week argued that extreme...

...respect to oxygen: 1. Obligate aerobes: Like humans, these organisms have an absolute requirement for oxygen. Because aerobic metabolism generates the toxic byproduct hydrogen peroxide, obligate aerobes must produce the enzyme catalase which breaks down hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen gas. 2. Obligate anaerobes: Not only do these organisms not require oxygen, they are often killed in its presence. Because anaerobic metabolism does not generate hydrogen peroxide, obligate anaerobes generally do not produce catalase. The causative agent of botulism, Clostridium botulinum is an obligate anaerobe. Since the canning process removes the air, Clostridium botulinum can grow in inadequately sterilized canned foods. This isn't normally a problem in fresh foods since they are exposed to air. 3. Facultative anaerobes: These organisms will use oxygen in their metabolism if it is available, but can also grow without oxygen. Again, since aerobic metabolism generates hydrogen peroxide, they produce catalase. E. coli, which is normal flora of the intestine, is an example of a facultative anaerobe. In addition to these three basic categories of oxygen requirements, bacteria may also be classified as microaerophillic (requires oxygen, but can only tolerate limited amounts), aerotolerant anaerobe (grows in the presence of oxygen, but never uses aerobic metabolism), capnophilic (requires less oxygen and an increased concentration of carbon dioxide), or other variations....

...Bride’s Maid Rule Number One: Do watch what you say around the Bride. All petty behavior is best done behind the scenes. 1p.m. Booty Pop Gym The air was an unfortunate heady mix of sweat and disinfectant. Hinata cringed as she took in the whir and clank of machines coupled with the upbeat tempo blaring through the speakers. The women in their spandex and neon sports bras on the cardio machine was rather unnerving but the muscle men going ham near the free weight was equally so. ‘Hanabi’s so lucky she’s just a junior bride’s maid. She doesn’t have to do all this crap!’ Hinata thought to herself as she remembered her siting waving at her from the comfort of their couch. A large bowl of popcorn in her lap and a look of mirth at her older sister’s torment. Hinata tugged at the bottom of her baggy white t-shirt, a familiar feeling of not belonging washed over her as she devised a way to make an excuse to get out of the room. Unfortunately at that moment she was spotted by a familiar crop of brunette buns who waved her over to where the rest of the bridal party was. Tenten smiled brightly at Hinata as she approached and while Hinata tried to return the expressing, her smile came out more like a grimace. “Yay you made it Hinata! I was sure you were going to bail!” Tenten exclaimed as Hinata blushed and became preoccupied with tying her shoes. As the time dragged on Tenten had begun to get genuinely concerned that her friend would bail out of yet another ‘bridesmaid brigade’ outing...

... I have good intentions when it comes to physical activity but have found it very hard to maintain and continue doing things. At this moment my personal exercise habits are slim. I always start off with the right intentions of losing weight and feeling better about myself but once the pain starts to hit and the hunger feelings get stronger I end up quitting. Now that I am pregnant I want to make positive changes that I can stick with so I have decided to challenge myself and put a new plan in order. I want to be able to set realistic goals for myself and actually gain what I need for the baby and lose the weight I so desperately have been trying to get off for years. I have decided to incorporate yoga, light stretching, water aerobics and lots of walking into my new plan. I am also coming up with a healthy eating plan for me that won’t harm my baby and basically allow me to eat all I want without gaining to much extra weight. I really think this will help me through the pains of pregnancy and also post-partum allowing me to continue and lose weight after the baby. Being that walking is a locomotor exercise I will incorporating a lot of walking especially around my building. By starting with 5 or 10 minute walks 3 times a week and progress to 20 or 30 minute walks 3 — 5 times a week I feel this is the right path to start for me. I however will not be able to do many of the non-locomotion training without moderate supervision and guidance because of fear of hurting...

...Photosynthesis and aerobic cellular respiration Aerobic cellular respiration is the process of creating energy in the form of ATP. Aerobic cellular respiration happens in eukaryotic organisms (plants, animal). It occurs in the mitochondria. There are three stages glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain (ETC). There are two equations of aerobic cellular respiration. The first one is glucose (C6 H12 O6) plus oxygen (O2) produce carbon dioxide(CO2) and water (H2O). The second one is adenosine diphosphate (ADP) plus phosphate (Pi) produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Glycolysis is the first stage of aerobic cellular respiration. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. Glycolysis purpose is to break down glucose. The reactants...

...for their need to improve these problems. Aerobics is a better form of exercise than weight training because it’s better for your heart, improves your mood, and helps you lose weight. Aerobics is a form of physical condition that increases the ability for your body to intake oxygen. This will stimulate the cardiovascular system, which will help to reduce fat, make blood pressure decrease, and make a reduction in stress (Britannica, 2013). To optimize longevity, nothing compares to cardio activity. Although strength training can help to prevent individuals to gain intra-abdominal fat, aerobic activity has many more health advantages (Women’s Health, 2012). When doing an aerobic exercise, it will make a person’s lungs process oxygen without having to work as hard. In doing this it will help your heart to pump more blood without beating as fast, causing a decreased heart rate (Fit & health, 2011). Aerobic exercise is also known to lower the risk of heart disease. Researchers are beginning to understand why the effect of aerobics helps the cardiovascular health. The studies they have conducted have shown that exercise can decrease inflammation; this reduces a fatty build up in the arteries, which is the cause of a lot of the cases of heart disease (Science Daily, 2007). In a two year study at Harvard in 1998, doing 30 minutes or more of weight training only reduced the risk of heart attack, while the study showed that aerobic activity had a 42% reduction (About.com, 2010)...

...Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise You have probably heard the terms "aerobic" and "anaerobic" before, but do you actually understand what the differences are between these two forms of exercise? It's likely you can name some exercises which fall into each category such as walking for aerobic exercise and strength training for anaerobic exercise, but do you know why these things fall into those respective categories. Let's take a closer look at the differences between these two forms of exercise and explore what is best for your body. Oxygen Supply The technical difference between aerobic and anaerobic exercises is the amount of oxygen required by the muscles for support and where that oxygen is coming from. With aerobic exercise your muscles need a continued supply of oxygen, which comes from the lungs. Throughout the workout your muscle activity depletes its store of oxygen so it must be replaced through the lungs, which is why you typically breathe heavy while out for a jog or walk. With anaerobic exercises the lungs don't have time to supply oxygen and the exercises are performed without that replenishing supply. Since the lungs are not working hard to replenish oxygen to your muscles, you typically don't get as out of breath with these exercises. Length of Exercise Session Aerobic exercises generally last a longer period of time than anaerobic exercises. Consider the difference between a power walker who goes out for 30-90 minute walks and a weightlifter that does short...

...The Effect of Acute and Chronic Exercise on Stress, Anxiety, and Depression March 8, 2015 Abstract Mental health is a severe problem in our society today, approximately 61.5 million of the Americans experience mental illness in each given year (NAMI, 2013). The main goal of this paper is to provide answers on how physical activity can replace anti-anxiety and depression drugs. To solve this question numerous research articles were examined by looking at how both acute and chronic bouts of aerobic and anaerobic exercise correlated with mental health aspects such as stress, depression, and anxiety. The findings showed that almost all types of exercise showed the capability of being able to improve mental health significantly. Thus, it is possible for physical activity to become a replacement for drugs being administered to the general population today, which allows people to treat their mental illness without the adverse side effects, which accompany drugs. This is supported by multiple studies done that compared physical exercise and drugs as treatments for mental disorders. All the studies support the claim that physical activity could be used as a replacement for drugs in treating mental illness. Introduction Mental health illness is a severe issue affecting a significant portion of Americans every day. Serious mental illnesses have been reported to cost America $193.2 Billion in lost earning per year (NAMI, 2013). Specifically, 14.8 million people are reported to...
