Fitness Training
Introduction-
The fitness training project is about me as an individual performing a
circuit with different exercises all relating to one sport which I
have chosen to do. The circuit training is done over a five week
period and I have to record my results and any progress or
difficulties I have stumbled across.
The sport I have chosen to use for my circuit training is football for
a number of different reasons. I enjoy playing football and I seem to
have a natural interest for the sport. I have been playing football
for a long time and I have seemed to have mastered a few techniques.
Fitness is the ability to meet demands of the environment. There are
two different types of fitness, general and specific. I am going to
explain both types of fitness in more detail. It is important that you
are fit rather than unfit, if you are fit you can cope with the
demands and the activities without getting too worn out.
General fitness relates to everyday use of your body. There are
several different aspects. Stamina or endurance - this is the ability
of the body to keep on going without getting too tired. It is made up
of Cardiovascular endurance andmuscular endurance. The two are related
because your muscles will fatigue easily if they do not receive enough
sufficient oxygen. Strength, flexibility and speed are also the other
aspects of general fitness. General fitness keeps you healthy and it
prevents accidents from occurring. We all require a minimum level of
general fitness, to cope with the demands of everyday life.
In some areas of sport specific fitness is required where there is
more skill involved. I...

period I have got fitter, but I want to keep it up and get more
fitter. So I have decided that I am going to do circuit training in my
own time because I like it so much.
For the warm up I quickly jogged on the spot to get the circulation
flowing faster. I also wanted to get my muscles warmed up so they
became more flexible so I wouldn't be risking a greater chance of
injury. For the cool down I just stretched for a while and breathed in
deeply. This also helped loosen my muscles and prevent stiffness.
If I compare week one to week 5 I can see I made a vast improvement,
and I am pleased with the results I have achieved because I am not a
very active person, and I don't like exercise. I have become fitter
than when I started out and I have gained more confidence.
Parents often wonder where their toddlers and grade-schoolers get their astounding amounts of energy. It is an inexplicable phenomena that nearly every person witnesses. Perhaps people’s attitudes determine how energetic they are. Maybe our thought process is what determines whether we are up for 14 hours a day or 18. Is it because we believe limitations exist that they do? Without the mentality that we have a finite amount of energy, would we be able to go without rest for days on end? Despite barriers of impossibilities, men have visited the moon, probes are being sent to the outer reaches of the galaxy and the inner workings of atoms start to reveal their inner workings. Even the code of life itself begins to give up its secrets. The human race has come far in attaining what was once thought to be impossible. In her story “Come On, Wagon,” Zenna Henderson takes the idea of possible and impossible and questions what they mean and how limitations are created.

I have many goals as an Athletic Training Student, and continuing my education is the biggest goal in order to be successful in my career and future goals. Eventually, I will earn a doctorate and go on to work at a professional level with a major league soccer team. I also aim to increase the knowledge and awareness of mental health within the field of athletic training.
The word run is often associated with how an object may run. “To keep operating or going, as a machine” (Dictionary). This definition often reminds society of how they run their busy lifestyles. Some people have to arise and keep running every day in order to support their family. This is just a part of everyday life. Workers seem to break down every once in a while, too, just like machines. If an employee becomes sick or injured, then he or she must rest until repaired. To be able to run is an important aspect to any person’s life. Nothing would ever be done if humans did not run. The population would just sit around like bums, not supporting families or taking care of themselves. Minds, like bodies, work like the inside of a clock. People have to think before they act. Motivation is a great example of how a running mind can inspire many to take charge and make goals in their own life. Motivation to keep a life running is substantial. This motivation helps people reach their lifestyle goals. These goals may be actually running a mile in a certain amount of time, getting a job, or simply losing those extra two pounds. People would not be able to do any of these things without the though

Exercise Science is a field of work that is valued by many. There are different paths for different kind of people whether they are interested in personal training, physical therapy, or even some kind of sports coach. The route I would like to take would be Exercise Science for Athletic Training. I want to be an Athletic Trainer because growing up, I loved playing and watching sports. I played baseball for about 2 years, ran track for 3, and played basketball my entire life. After my high school career, I knew that I could not stay involved in sports because all of the injuries I have experienced so I decided I wanted a job that is behind the scenes but still rooted in athletics.
Overall, I am pleased with the changes that I have made to my diet, and plan to continue working towards my goals. In order to accomplish my goals in the future, I will try to slowly increase my fruit, vegetable, and whole grain consumption. Another goal that I need to work on is to slowly limit the amount of meat products that I consume. Incorporating these changes will help me accomplish my goals of increasing my calories and decreasing my protein intake to the recommended values set by the Dietary Reference intakes. As long as I can continue to practice these healthier ways of eating, I am sure to have a longer and healthier life and decrease my risk of chronic diseases as I age.

That is because of the lack of training for even the most basic of activities. Therefore, if people do not want to get disappointed when they try to join in the military is important to concern about overweight. The best advice is to know the enlist requirements in advance to adopt healthy eating habits and to keep workout as much as possible This way the candidate will not have problems about weight to join in the U.S. Armed Forces. Unfortunately, height and weight measurements are just one of the requirements. Another problem that has been impeding the youth of today to
Physical fitness is usually applied to the framework most typically associated with two classifications: Basic fitness (a condition associated with health as well as well-being) and specialized fitness (the capability to carry out specific sports activities or work-related skills). Physical fitness is actually a condition associated with health with lower risk of early illnesses and the vitality to participate in a wide range of physical pursuits.
When I first began to exercise, I was primarily trying to add size on to my body. At the time I only weighed about one hundred sixty pounds and I was six foot one inch. I was also eight teen and feeling that my lack of participating in school sporting events, as well as my abuse of alcohol and less than ideal food choices, had stunted my physical potential. With this new found feeling of inadequacy I set off on a journey that would change my life forever. The first thing I noticed when I began searching for ways to change my body, was that I was obviously going to have to buy weights if I wanted to look like the guys in the gym. So I set out and purchased the cheapest bench and set of weights I could find. I began to mimic exercises that I had seen people do on television or while walking past the gym. In a period of about a month I had already noticed a huge difference in the amount of weight that I could lift. Within the first year of unorganized lifting, as well as no change to my eating habits, I h...
In my life there are many things that I can improve on. I now realize that my eating habits are some
