Flexibility - the ability to move a body part through a full range of motion -Helps prevent injury -Releases build up of lactic acid - Examples:

- Anaerobic – muscles don’t use oxygen, instead they use glycogen - Exercise lasts a short amount of time -Heavy weights = building muscle -To gain strength add resistance - Examples…. Muscular Strength - how much you can lift, push, or pull

Muscular Endurance : how long you can lift, push, pull or hold - To gain endurance add more time, distance, and repetitions. -Light weights = lean muscles Examples:

Aerobic/cardiovascular : continuous movement within the target heart rate that allows muscles to use oxygen to create power (20 minutes or more burns fat; 10 minutes or more works heart muscle) Examples:
