Week #7 Questions:
a. A warm up prepares the body by slowly increasing the heart rate and circulation. This helps increase blood flow as well as loosen joints. Stretching helps prevent injuries.
b. Your warm up is successful if it increases the temperature of your muscles, increases your heart rate and breathing. By the end of a warm up, you should be slightly sweating.
c. When your muscles are warm, generally after exercising. It is better to stretch when muscles are warm because it helps the muscles heal quicker and better blood flow (when muscles are warm) helps prevent stiffness after a workout. Stretching allows your muscles to become more flexible in order to maintain range of motion in the joints. If you don’t stretch, your muscles become very tight or short, which can cause muscle injuries or joint pain.
d. Teenagers need between 9 and 9 and a half hours of sleep each night, and adults need between 7 and 9 hours. During break I have been getting enough sleep for sure. However, when I am not on break I do not receive enough sleep. I can avoid this by not drinking as much caffeine during the day, so that I can fall asleep easier.
e. Heart disease, high blood pressure and obesity are a few negative health effects when you continually don’t receive enough sleep.
f. Bell peppers with hummus and apple with peanut butter. What will motivate me to continue to be active in the future is the way that exercising makes me feel. I am in a better mental and physical state when I am living an active and healthy lifestyle.
g. Making sure that I make time to workout and prepare what I will be doing to stay active. If you remain sedentary you have a chance of having increased anxiety and depression, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
h. Avocados and nuts.
