  5. Calculate Heart Rates Maximum heart rate: 220 – age = 220 – 40 = 180 Target heart rate: answer x 75% = 180 x .75 = 135 “Interval Training” Raising and lower speed or intensity Example: 100 meter sprint, 400 meter jog Do this for 5 intervals

  6. Flexibility: joint health Elasticity of muscles and connective tissue 30 sec. – 1 min. is ideal length for stretch Muscle Strength/Endurance Resistance: Weights and Calisthenics Reps and Sets Example: 3 x 10 Bench Press: Lift weight 10 times, rest 1 minute, Repeat 3 times
