PARTs of the Workout

A repetition, or rep, is the most basic component of a resistance-training program.

Repetition (rep)

One completion of an activity or

exercise.

In a typical workout, you will do several sets of several different exercises.

Exercise

contractions that build

strength and endurance.

COMPOUND COMPOUND VERSUS VERSUS ISOLATIONISOLATION EXERCISES EXERCISES

1. What Are Compound Exercises?….exercise that uses a wide variety of movements through a wide range of motion

2. What Are Isolation Exercises?…exercises that work only one muscle or muscle group and only one joint at a time. Examples of isolation exercises include the biceps curl or the quadriceps extension.

COMPOUND EXERCISES

…exercise that simulates real-life activities and uses a wide variety of movements through a wide range of motion

ISOLATION EXERCISES

Isolation means: to set apart or cut off from others

•… exercises work only one muscle or muscle group and only one joint at a time

PRINCIPLES OF EXERCISE

There are a few fundamental principles of exercise that

needs to be applied in order to achieve success with an

exercise program

Overload

• Exercise that is conducted at a level of intensity and /or duration which results in achieving a training effect

Progression

• Gradual increase (FITT) intensity, frequency, and/or duration of exercise over a period of time– Weeks, months, year(s)

Specificity

• Specific exercise performed to improve a particular component of fitness– endurance

Regularity • Exercise conducted at regular intervals each week,

continuing throughout the year

TYPE OF TYPE OF EQUIPMENTEQUIPMENT

Free Weights vs. Machines

• Free weights can be intimidating– Machines help people feel comfortable

Cardiovascular Equipment

• What are we talking about?– Treadmills– Ellipticals– Stationary Bikes– Etc…

STRENGTH EQUIPMENT

• Free Weights– BB, DB, Olympic plates

• Selectorized Machines– Pin adjustment, weight stack

• Plate-loaded Machines– Uni-lateral, Iso-lateral

STRENGTH EQUIPMENT

• Free Weights– Dumbbells, barbells, weight plates– Medicine balls, kettlebells– Benches, racks, and trees– More economical– Proper training and supervision

• Selectorized Machines– Single-stations or Multi “jungle gym”– Cables, belts, pulleys, chains– Novice – Less stabilization required

STRENGTH EQUIPMENT

• Plate-loaded Machines– Unilateral– Iso-lateral (i.e. Hammer Strength)– Everyone’s putting out plate loaded– Better safety than free weights– Heavier weight workouts

FITNESS ROOM RULES

• Do not enter unless accompanied by a teacher

• Follow your teachers instructions carefully

• Do not throw any objects, run, chase, or horseplay- ever

• Equipment can be dangerous

• CAREFUL WITH THE WEIGHT STACK- it CAN CRUSH BODY PARTS

• Do not slam or drop the dumbbells or plate loaded bar on the floor.

• Be cautious of others - do not disrupt others during workouts

• Use equipment correctly- improper use can cause injury

• All students are entitled to at least 7 minutes on a cardio vascular machine.

• The weights on the weight machines should never be “slammed”; the

student should be in control of the weight for the entire set.• Each student must read and understand the enduring understandings for

each machine before they begin their set.

FITNESS ROOM RULES

• Wear appropriate workout clothing• Wear appropriate shoes (closed toe shoes,

preferably tennis shoes or running shoes)• Use proper spotting techniques when lifting free

weights or use of bench press• Always warm up before working out• Practice perfect form before lifting heavier weights• Check weights before you lift• Be aware of your surroundings• Stop working out if you feel dizzy• When in doubt ask for help

EQUIPMENT USE

1. Adjust weights

• Always adjust your own weight• Do not pull pin when weights are lifted• Place pin securely to ensure safety• Use light enough weight to lift 16 reps

without help2. Adjust seat height (if applicable)

• Make sure exercise joint lines up with equipment joint/handles

3. Sit firmly on equipment• Place feet on ground• Grip handles firmly

ELLIPTICAL MACHINE

• We only have two of them!• One person on at a time• Even amount of weight on foot pads• Face forward• Use legs & arms or just legs• Don’t try and kill the machine

TREADMILL

• Don’t hog it!

• Only the person on the treadmill can touch the buttons and be on it

• Face forward on the treadmill

• No goofing off
