Fitness and Nutrition Blood Pressure Heart Pulse Rate Respiration Aerobic Exercise Remember Cool Down

Blood Pressure Ideal Pressure- 120/80 Ranges From…….. Top # (systolic) 100-140 Bottom # (diastolic) 60-90 When diastolic # is high, this is an indication of a serious problem High Blood Pressure = Hypertension Low Blood Pressure = Hypotension Stroke results from Hypertension, can cause paralysis on one side of the body

The Heart The heart is a large muscular organ located on the left side of the chest.

Pulse Rate Pulse rate-resting heart rate Ideal normal-80 per min. Range Normal-60-100 per min. People who exercise may have a lower resting rate

Respiration Normal range = 14-20 breaths per minute

Aerobic Exercise Exercise is aerobic if you Use the large muscles in the lower part of your body Breathe more heavily w/o being out of breath & feel warmer (heart rate is 60%-80% of your maximum) exercise 20 min. at a time, 3 or more times a week, or 10min bouts at different times of the day

Remember: the only way to lose body fat is to burn more calories than you take in. Benefits of aerobic exercise: Makes your heart stronger & more effective (which helps prevent heart disease) Increases endurance to prevent tiring reduces excess fat tones your muscles improves circulation burns calories while exercising & over time, adds muscles, which raises metabolism
