Initial assessment with a healthcare provider to ensure readiness for physical activity, especially after periods of inactivity. SMART Goals
Objectives that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound to guide progress in fitness routines. Dynamic Stretching
Low-intensity movements that take joints and muscles through their full range of motion to prepare for exercise. Static Stretching
Holding a muscle in a stretched position for a set time, typically performed after workouts to aid recovery. Warm-Up
Pre-exercise phase that increases blood flow, improves flexibility, and reduces risk of injury. Cool-Down
Post-exercise phase involving low-intensity activity to gradually return the body to its resting state. Cardiorespiratory Training
Physical activities using large muscle groups to enhance heart and lung function, such as walking or cycling. Resistance Training
Exercise using body weight or external weights to build muscle strength and endurance. Isometric Exercise
Muscle contraction without length change, producing no movement, such as holding a plank. Isotonic Exercise
Muscle contraction with length change, producing movement, such as performing squats. Muscle Group
Specific set of muscles targeted during workouts, such as chest, thighs, or shoulders, to ensure balanced development. Intensity
Level of effort or exertion during physical activity, adjusted to match fitness progress and prevent injury. Recovery
Period allowing muscles to rest and repair between workouts, essential for growth and injury prevention. Plateau
Stage where fitness progress stalls, often requiring goal adjustment or increased challenge to continue improvement. Preparation Stage
