  10. Cardiorespiratory Endurance

  11. Machines and Activities Treadmills Stairclimbers Bicycle Rowing Machine

  12. Examples of Activities • Walking • Jogging • Biking • Basketball • Swimming

  13. Muscular Strength How much weight can be lifted one time Strength High weight with low reps (4-8 reps) Strength with Bulk High weight with low reps and more sets (6 sets of 6 reps) Muscular Endurance How long you can lift the weight over time Strength Lower weight with high reps (12-20 reps) You are still working on muscular strength when you are concentrating on muscular endurance
