COMMIT TO BE FIT!

Each year, we strive to develop a program that keeps you motivated and inspired to continue making your health and well-being a priority.  This year, we are introducing you to the 5 components of fitness.  During you 8 week "committment", you will conquer specific goals in each category.  Incentives are built into our annual challenge along with rewards as you progress week-to-week.

Level 1 - (2 wks) Cardiovascular Fitness

Cardiovascular fitness (also knon as cardio respiratory fitness) is the ability of the heart, lungs adn vascular system to deliver oxygen-rich blood to working muscles during sustained physical activity. 

Level 2 (1 wk) Muscular Strength

Muscular strength is the amount of force a muscle or muscle group can exert againsta  heavy resistance.

Level 3 - (1 wk) Flexibility

Flexibility is teh degree to which an individual muscle will lengthen.

Level 4 - (2 wks) Muscular Endurance

Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle group to repeat a movement many times or to hold a particular position for an extended period of time.

Level 5 - (2 wks) Body Composition

Body composition is the amount of fat in the body compared to the amount of lean mass (muscle, bones, organs, etc). Your end result will be a stronger, healthier, body that has improved cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, as well as enhanced muscular strength and endurance.
