Physical fitness is the capacity to function productively throughout your workday, carrry out your normal responsibilities and still have enough energy left over to handle any extra stresses or emergencies which may pop up.

The aspects of fitness you should keep in mind are:

*  Cardiorespiratory (CR) endurance – the efficiency with which the body transports oxygen and nutrients required for muscular activity and transports waste products from the cells.

*  Muscular endurance – the ability of a muscle or muscle group to perform repeated movements with a sub-maximal force for extended periods of times.

*  Muscular strength – the biggest amount of force a muscle or muscle group can use in a single effort.

*  Flexibility – the capability to move the joints or any combination of joints through an entire, normal range of motion.

*  Body composition – the percentage of body fat a person has in comparison to his or her total body mass.

Improving the first three components of fitness listed above will have a positive impact on body composition and will result in a reduction of. Excessive body fat can negate from the other fitness aspects, reduces performance, detracts from appearance, and adveresely affects your health.

Factors such as speed, agility, muscle power, eye-hand coordination, and eye-foot coordination are labelled as aspects of “motor” fitness. These factors most affect your athletic capability. Appropriate work on it can improve these factors within the limits of your potential. A practical weight loss and fitness plan seeks to make better or hold all the components of physical and motor fitness through sensible, progressive, mission specific physical training.

Principles of Exercise

Adherence to certain basic exercise elements is important for building an effective program. The same elements of exercise apply to everyone at all levels of physical training, from the pro football player to the weekend jogger.

These are:

Recurrence

To achieve results, you must exercise often. You should practice each of the first four fitness components at least three times a week. Non regular exercise can be damaging. Regularity is also important in resting, sleeping, and eating well.

Progression

The intensity (how hard) and/or length (how long) of exercise must gradually increase to improve the level of fitness.

Balance

To work, a program should include activities that address all the fitness components, since concentrating too much on any one of them may hurt the others.

Variety

Providing a variety of activities reduces boredom and improves motivation and progress.

Specificity

Training must be focused toward specific goals. For example, people become better runners if their training emphasizes running. Although swimming is great exercise, it does not improve a 2-mile-run time as much as a running program would.

Recovery

A hard day of training for a given component of fitness should be followed by an easier training day or rest day for that aspect and/or muscle group(s) to encourage recovery. Another way to recover is to vary the muscle groups exercised every other day, especially when focusing for strength and/or muscle endurance.

Overload

The work load of each exercise

They learned many things, but this video focuses mainly on physical fitness, as they had a female instructor showing them the way. On a more important note, you can see such …

    Any agency that will potentially hire you will mandate you pass a physical agility test. They will also send you in for a comprehensive physical exam. Reason? Because for you to be covered by the local pension plan, you can not have any existing pre-employment defect that would prevent you from preforming your duties and put them in a position of liability.

    As for underweight. You need to carb up as much as possible. Lots of fruits, pasta, rice and moderate exercise.
    Maybe also see your doctor and express your concerns about your weight and see if they can recommend diet supplements that are safe and effective for your needs.

  • Are you a Marine? (nod your head) then you know if it's pretty decent. You need to look up the specific programs for becoming an Officer, and find out what they require and think about how it relates to you…or better yet, talk to a career planner on your base. There are 8 different officer programs to get you to OCS, and you need to find out yourself instead of asking on yahoo answers, most of these people don't know that, and no disrespect at all to Former Marines, but regulations are changing for those things, and someone who doesn't actively see the changes won't intentionally steer you wrong, but might not know things have been updated. I had to go from website to website to find anything that I thought might have been credible, and in the end, I still don't trust what I read online, because most of them give a necessary ACT score of anywhere from 40-45, and I took the ACT as one of the smartest people in my class and got a 26, not to mention the smartest person I've ever met only got a 36! So what I'm saying is ask someone who WILL know the answers, not people on here who MIGHT know the answers, because this is too important to just ask on forum.

  • Once you are hired, most departments have no formal programs.

    Some have thier own gyms, and some provide discounted memberships, but it is up to you to find the time to go.

    There are a few departments that have annual physical fitness tests, if you pass you get a bonus. However, participation is voluntary.

  • just relax. Eat a good healthy meal. Get at least 8 hours of rest. In the morning eat some oatmeal, plain, that way you can get some carbs into your body. Don't drink milk otherwise it can curdle and you will get sick.

  • Mr President says:

    The two go hand in hand.
    Your body will effectively suffer for your mental stress, as when you stress you release cortisone, which depletes muscle and fitness gains.

    However, fitter people are usually calmer (not always) and have better circulation, allowing them to process the stress and its physical effects.

    Nothing you can do to avoid the physical activity of the military. It is their job to be in shape. Would you want a man that can't run without being winded to defend this country?? No getting around it either. Suck it up, and look into the benefits you'll have from it.
