I found some useful information in the September issue of the Kaiser Permanente newsletter that I thought would be good to share...
Fitness = aerobic + strengthening + flexibility
There are three main components of fitness and a range of options within each. Learn about the various activities in each area, and find out how long and how often you should do them to reach your fitness goals.
Aerobic exercise strengthens your heart and lungs.
Muscle-strengthening activities build muscles that burn fat.
Flexibility reduces pain and tension, increases range of motion, and improves balance and posture. Exercises for core stabilization should be part of every conditioning program, along with flexibility, strength, and aerobic training. Find out how to start and maintain a fitness plan.
