Fit for life homework

Muscles are a great contributor to your health. They help with strong bones, better sleep, better metabolism, lower risk of injury, and more. Muscular strength is how much force can be put together against something trying to resist the force, in other words how much you can hold, push, pull, etc. Muscular endurance is how long you can withstand a hard activity, like biking, running, hiking, and more. These are important to maintain because you will have an improved, healthier life.

            Isometric exercise is building up your muscle strength, but the joints don’t move. When doing this type of exercise you are working with resistance against force like pushing your body away from something. Isotonic exercise is used to build up muscle strength like isometric, but your joints move around when doing this exercise. Doing push-ups is a type of isometric exercise because your arms are moving in a range of motion. Isokinetic exercise is an exercise that isn’t constant, but has continuous limb movement. An example would be jogging in place or one a bike that stays in place.

            Lifting weights can be a real benefit to losing weight and gaining strength, but there are some precautions that you should take. Don’t overdo it because you can possibly die from overexertion. If you feel any pain stop, you could make it worse by continuing lifting weights. Don’t lift weights till about 15 or 16 because lifting weights can stunt your growth. Just remember to be careful and watch yourself as well as having someone with you when you are lifting weights. Along with the safety of lifting weights there is also natural weight lifting and supplemental weight lifting. Most weight lifters you see take some type of supplement for weight lifting, but they are careful when choosing the right ones. They all say that they are the best and they will give you the best results, but you have to read more than just the label. They are both okay and if you want better and faster results then taking the supplements would be good, I would recommend doing it all naturally though.
