Question 3

how to know if i have a realistic physical fitness goal?

Accepted Answer

Everyone Different: Check with your doctor and ease into any new exercise program. People can often do more than they think they can, provided they work at it consistently and build up to the new goal. Good luck!

Question 4

what to do if i have high level of physical fitness, unhealthy?

Accepted Answer

Fitness Usually Good: Having a high level of fitness is typically a good thing. However, it has been said in extreme endurance athletes that they appear to age quicker. This has been attributed to depleted one's alkaline and anti-oxidant reserves. A specific diet focused on alkaline ash foods, such as wheat grass, chlorella, (green drinks) may help. The biggest effect on acid-base balance in the body, is breathing.

Question 5

how many components of health related physical fitness are there?

Accepted Answer

Several: Fitness is not only nutrition and exercise. The whole person is a biopsychosociospiritual being so whole person care involves right eating, drinking, and exercise, but also balance, right thinking, right feeling, recreation, and relating to others.

Question 6

are there any good fitness programs specifically designed  for teens?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: The problem is resistance training in individuals with bones that are not done growing. If that is you, focus on good form, using low weights, and high reps. Another approach is doing resistance training without weights at all. See this link with embedded video for example: www.Momsteam.Com/health-safety/weight-training-youth-athletes-more-getting-stronger-than-pumping-iron.

what physical fitness plan reduces blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Exercise: Blood pressure tends to increase temporarily w/weight lifting but strengthening should still be a definite part of everyone's exercise program, along w/aerobics, stretching/flexibility &amp; balance.

Good idea to avoid adding salt.

The cardiovascular system, along with brain coordination of where the blood flow is preferentially sent, via control of arteriolar size/flow control to each bed of capillaries, at any given moment, is the system that enables these functions.

Question 9
