                                                                                                                                                FINAL: fitness plan portfolio

For my final portfolio presentation I was given the choice to pick and teach a specific health related fitness topic along with an activity that focuses on such field. I chose to teach about: muscular endurance, which is pretty much focused on training the body into being able to perform an activity for an extended period of time.

I chose to teach: the plank hold, which is an isometric exercise that helps build endurance in your entire core –rectus abdominus, obliques, lower back and stabilizing muscles. It is a powerful but simple exercise that you can do at home.

How to Perform the Plank Exercise: 1. Lie face down on a mat, 2. Raise up onto your toes and rest on your elbows, 3.* Keep your back flat, keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels, 4. Contract your abs to ensure your body doesn’t drop, 5. Hold position for designated time.

the reason i chose this topic is because muscular endurance is a basic component of physical fitness and it is escential for any good routine, to be able to keep up and endure the workouts.

                                                                                                                                                MY SUMMER FITNESS PLAN:

I dont plan on being able to go to the gym for the summer, but that doesn't mean I wont still do my best to stay healthy, I plan on eating healthy and staying away from junk food or just sitting around all day, i plan on jogging every morning in the local track and working out at least half an hour every night before I go to bed. My goal is to have better toned leg and abs muscles by the end of the summer, and I know it'll take effort to reach that goal, which is why I plan on staying active all summer.
