Share and explain to the class some of your favorite types of exercise or fitness routines (at least one). Some examples might be cross country runs, treadmill incline interval (fast, slow) training, group or partner spin (cycle) training, High intensity partner weight training, Pilate’s, Yoga etc. Be creative and try out something new in fitness type exercises (do an online search for some ideas). The criteria is as follows:
1. Discuss the contribution of this physical activity to your overall physical, social mental and emotional well-being
2. Give some general instruction on how others can participate
Sample Solution
My favorite type of physical activity is interval running. It involves alternating between periods of high intensity exercise and periods of rest, providing an effective cardiovascular workout. This routine helps to improve endurance, agility and speed as well as build strength in the lower body. Additionally, it can also be used for weight loss purposes as it increases metabolism – burning more calories than traditional steady state cardio workouts.
Interval running has numerous benefits for physical, social, mental and emotional wellbeing – it improves overall fitness levels; reduces stress levels; boosts confidence; encourages healthy competition with others either through personal bests or races; provides a great way to start conversations when meeting new people etc.,
To do Interval Running: Begin by jogging at a slow pace (warm up). Next increase your speed gradually over 1-2 minutes until you reach a “comfortably hard” pace. Maintain this level of effort for 2-3 minutes before reducing speed again over another 1-2 minute period back to your starting point (recovery). Repeat this process throughout your run – varying the recovery time/intensity depending on your fitness level and goals.
Start out slowly – listen to your body and adjust accordingly based on how you feel during each session – eventually building up to longer intervals/higher intensities over time. For those looking for more social interaction there are local running clubs that provide motivation/support amongst members similar goals making easier stay motivated whilst having fun!
