Its business objective is to sell all types of training, fitness, conditioning, and exercise equipment to the general public. The Fit Stop plans to specialize in this equipment and to provide customers with personalized advice geared to a customer's specific training or conditioning needs (e.g. training for a particular sport, rehabilitation from injuries, strengthening of specific muscle groups to deal with back pain, general conditioning and fitness), regardless of the age of the customer.

...Tel Aviv University Spring Semester Faculty for Social Sciences 2011 Department of Psychology Course: Between Psychology and Medicine Paper on: Medical and Psychological processes in Pilates Presented by: Hani Ovadia Introduction Psychological and physical health is greatly affected by behavior, similarly, different patterns of behavior derive from psychological and physical health (Folkins 1981). Consequently, both psychotherapists and doctors recommend to their patients to participate in activities that advance a healthier lifestyle (Bull 1995). The patients are advised to integrate gymnastics of different types in their lifestyle, includ ing among others: aerobics, yoga, kickboxing and Pilates (Howell 2011). Pilates is an exercise method based on gentle phy sical movements integrated with focused mind. The physical aspect is designed to tone and increase the flexib ility of the muscles and joints and also includes developing good posture, balance and coordination. The psychological aspect is based on correct breathing and mental concentration (Field 2009) In this paper I will examine the beneficiary effects of Pilates as a mind and body training method. First, I will describe the development of the method and the uniqueness of Pilates in comparison to other physical exercising methods. Then, I will further examine the physical and psychological influence Pilates has on its practitioners, while referring to research difficulties that...

...3-DAY EXERCISE ACTIVITY ANALYSIS Che Harper SCI 241 JULY 6, 2012 PROFESSOR LAWYER 3-DAY EXERCISE ACTIVITY ANALYSIS What are your current exercise habits? My current exercise habits are going to the gym at least three days per week for one hour. I focus primarily on cardio because it helps to burn fat. I complete thirty minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of strength training everyday because I want to lose and tone! I find it easier to go to a gym as opposed to walking around my neighborhood. I tried that and felt discouraged, not quite sure why. But the gym is working so much better for me. According to SuperTracker results summary page, what were your credited minutes, total expended calories, physical activity score, and physical activity assessment results? Provide a screenshot of your results summary. The amount of minutes I exercised for four days were 360 minutes. I spend 30 minutes on the stationary bike and 30 minutes on the elliptical machine. I burned 1148 calories daily or 4592 calories over the four days (not sure why the tracker did not include this). I guess I did it incorrectly because I was not provided a physical activity score or assessment results. I could not locate the SuperTracker results summary page. [pic] What everyday changes, if any, might you make to increase the amount of energy expended in your day-to-day activities? There are multiple things I could add to my day to expend more energy. For example, I could take the stairs, instead......

...Three Day Activity Analysis Tonya Spaulding SCI/241 September 2, 2011 Summer Dale Three Day Analysis Some of the everyday changes I would make to increase my energy levels into my everyday activities would be to exercise in the morning. I believe taking a walk or doing floor exercises would help increase my energy levels on a everyday basis. I believe that exercising and giving yourself a good workout in the morning or even before one goes to bed. Before one goes to bed it will help one sleep in the morning exercising will help give extra energy that is needed throughout the day. I think if one incorporates physical activity at least half of an hour to an hour in the morning helps one in many ways with increasing energy and overall maintaining a healthy lifestyle in general. There are days that I do not want to take walks and if that is the case I will do an alternative exercise. Some other activities like riding a bike, jogging in place, aerobics, sit ups, yard work, or spending a bit more time getting ready in the morning all of these activities will burn calories to help keep ones body healthy. There are some activities that can not be performed year round especially if one lives in parts of the United States were the winters are bad ......

...Home > Sports & Fitness > Aerobic exercise: the health benefits Aerobic exercise: the health benefits ‘Aerobic’ exercise refers to exercise that requires the consumption of substantially more oxygen than at rest. It is of a light to moderate intensity, and can be undertaken for a prolonged duration (many minutes to several hours) without excessive fatigue. Examples of aerobic exercise include walking, jogging, swimming or cycling at a steady pace. Another example would be dancing or ‘aerobics’ classes. Regular exercise causes your body to make adjustments that result in improved health and physical functioning. Continuing with regular exercise enables your body to maintain these benefits. Regularly doing the right types of exercise at the correct intensity, and for an appropriate duration, results in the most benefit. The benefits of aerobic exercise can be broadly categorised as either ‘fitness’ (physical capacity) or ‘health’. Fitness and health are linked, and most forms of aerobic exercise will help you achieve both. Fitness — including increased cardiorespiratory fitness and endurance (stamina) Regular aerobic exercise improves your cardiovascular fitness by increasing your capacity to use oxygen. It does this by increasing your heart’s capacity to send blood (and hence oxygen) to the muscles. This is mainly achieved through an increase in the size of the heart’s pumping chambers (ventricles), which means that your heart doesn’t have to beat as fast to......

...interaction, inaccurate or no feedback provided by these systems, and the overall cost of exercise gaming systems. After taking into consideration that millions of children already indulge in video gaming systems in their spare time, it seems a little excessive to add it to their school physical education curriculum. Physical education in schools not only inspires good physical fitness but also social interaction and self-expression. Although there are currently many gaming devices that require physical activity, it would be nearly impossible to include the social factors. The national standards suggest that physical education teachers should be developing appropriate social behaviors and interactions through their teaching. When learning fundamental motor skills and skill themes, students should be encouraged to participate with actual equipment under realistic circumstances. If those activities include gaming and staring at a screen, few positive outcomes (if any) will surface. This is one reason that this reader believes that interactive video technology or “exergaming” should not be fitness tool in the physical education setting. Physical educators would be doing their students a disservice if they did not allow them to express themselves actively and socially. Another point that this reader feels that these...

...To: Zachary Evans, Vice President of Operations From: Joseph Mirola, Claims Manager Subject: Company Fitness Center Makes Us Money _______ Through research and analysis, it has been discovered that the Rocky Mountain Mutual Company Fitness Center is a financial asset to the company. By reviewing company records you will see that the Fitness Center decreases employee absenteeism, increases employee productivity and reduces medical cost to the company. I believe that with some key leader support and proper attention our Fitness Center could become Rocky Mountain Mutual’s biggest asset. When it comes to absenteeism, our employees of Rocky Mountain Mutual who use the center miss almost half as many days of work as those who don't. They missed an average of six days of work per year as compared to those who do not use it with a staggering twelve days of work per year. As you can see, the statistics show that the Fitness Center is a major contributing factor of the health of our employees. With having said that these numbers in turn have shown to reduce the medical cost to our company. The research that was done shows that the employees fall into three different medical categories. These categories are those ranging from frequent users of the center, going three or more times per week, accounts for 10% of all Rocky Mountain Mutual employees, those considered average users go once or twice per week,accounting for 25% of all employees and the last category of non-users ,......

...activity intervention would be recognizing that the students are just beginning college. Most students enrolled in EXSS 1000 are incoming freshmen that are just moving to college and are probably not yet settled into their new lifestyle. EXSS 1000 students also probably do not have a full understanding that exercise has long-term benefits for health and is not just a method to help avoid the “freshmen-fifteen.” When designing a physical activity intervention for a client, it is always important to consider their current level of physical fitness. The students of these exercise classes will have various levels of physical fitness, but overall, everyone should be healthy enough to participate in some type of exercise program. Because we are in North Carolina, a state that has one of the highest obesity rates in the US, the students of these classes may be less fit than normal fit averages. In turn, not only do we need to look at the specific fitness levels of the students but also at the general perception of exercise that a college student would hold. The clients need to be able to see how easily they can increase their physical activity. The more apparent it is made to them that they can add physical activity into their daily routines, the more likely they are to adopt a more active lifestyle. We are all faced with unforeseen barriers that may inhibit our ability to accomplish our goals. These barriers are often new to these incoming students now that they are......

...Physical fitness is a necessity for everyone regardless of race, culture, or sex in order to live a long healthy life. In order to achieve physical fitness, you must be able to perform daily tasks vigorously, while avoiding diseases related to a lack of activity. There are many benefits of physical fitness like endurance, good figure, muscular strength, and flexibility. Some mental benefits include a positive attitude, high self-esteem, and the production of endorphins, which act as a natural painkiller. There have been many benefits of physical activity, which were always praised throughout history. It was not until the 1970s, that enough information was available on physical fitness. The American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association has since begun issuing physical activity recommendations to the public. Some of these recommendations include cardio-respiratory exercises and sustained periods of vigorous activity. The past several years the ACSM, CDC, AHA, PCPFS, and NIH have also recommended regular, moderate physical activity. There are also risks involved with physical activity. The most common health problem related to physical activity is muscle and skeletal injury. These injuries can occur with almost any amount of exercise when the body is not conditioned. Flexibility and the proper education associated with these exercises are usually over looked. Some of the more serious risks associated with physical activity include heart attacks......
