Cardiorespiratory Fitness Insert 4 pictures on this page (2 by you & 2 by partner) Cardio benefits the heart and lungs, improving oxygen delivery throughout the body. Improved blood flow helps the body's chemical processes function more efficiently. That means fat and calories will be consumed faster, muscles receive more oxygen to function better, and joints and tendons are strengthened and stretched through cardiorespiratory activity. Focus on activities that keep you in your target heart rate zone for at least 20 minutes straight, like jogging, swimming, cycling, and aerobics. To further increase health benefits, mix strenuous with non-strenuous activities.

Muscle Endurance Insert 4 pictures on this page (2 by you & 2 by partner) Strength training improves muscle function and endurance. Stronger muscles allow the body to move easier while burning additional calories and fat with every activity. Focus on activities that build strong muscles, like push-ups, pull-ups, gymnastics, and weight lifting. Perform full body aerobic activities such as swimming, running, and rowing, trying to achieve more each time without becoming fatigued.

Muscular Strength Insert 4 pictures on this page (2 by you & 2 by partner) Strength training improves muscle function and endurance. Stronger muscles allow the body to move easier while burning additional calories and fat with every activity.

Flexibility Insert 4 pictures on this page (2 by you & 2 by partner) Stretching is an important addition to any fitness routine because it improves your range of motion, which can improve athletic performance and reduce your chance of sitting out because of injury. Stretching also increases blood flow to your muscles to power their movements. Focus on stretching exercises such as toe touches or shoulder stretches, and participate in yoga or gymnastics to lengthen muscles.

Body Composition Insert 4 pictures on this page (2 by you & 2 by partner) A combination of cardiorespiratory activity, strength training, stretching, and healthy nutrition can help your body maintain a healthy fat-to-lean tissue ratio. A healthy body fat percentage helps reduce the strain on muscles, joints, and the cardiovascular system. When a person is overweight and has a high BMI, increasing cardio activities can help burn more fat. A person who is underweight can still have an unhealthy fat-to-lean ratio if their muscle levels are low. Strength training can help increase the amount of lean muscle tissue.
