Deﬁne Your Goals

Your body will do what you train it to do. That’s why it’s important to deﬁne your goals and focus

them. Here are some ﬁtness components that will help you deﬁne your goals and choose your

ﬁtness program.

Muscle Strength is the maximum force that you can exert against resistance at one time. Your

muscle strength comes into play when you pick up a heavy bag of groceries or lift a small child.

It is developed when a localized muscle is worked both positively (concentric) and negatively

(eccentric) at a resistance – great enough so you can perform only ﬁve to eight repetitions of

the exercise before the muscle fails. Each set of repetitions is followed by a rest interval that

typically runs three times longer than the set. Later, between exercise sessions, the muscle

overcompensates for the stress and usually increases in both strength and size.

Muscle Endurance is the ability to perform repeated contractions. It comes into play when you

cross-country ski or work on your feet all day. Endurance training addresses the slow twitch,

endurance muscle ﬁbers, which depend on oxygen for energy. To develop muscle endurance,

use low resistance and high repetitions – about 15-20 repetitions in each set, three sets to each

exercise, working the muscle only to fatigue.

Muscle Power is the combination of strength and speed of the muscular contraction. This is

often misinterpreted as A) being directly associated with certain skill or sport and/or B) meaning

that you must move fast. Load is actually a more important factor than speed when attempting to

improve power. When training to achieve muscular power, pick a resistance that fatigues you in

the 3-5 repetition range. When performing these reps, it is more important to think of contracting

the muscles faster rather than attempting to move faster. Performing sport simulation exercises

usually results in a deterioration of the motor pattern or skill. The biomechanically sound method

of improving power in your sport is to train for power using the correct joint movements, as de-

scribed in this manual. Then practice the skill associated with your sport, learning to apply this

newly achieved power.

Body Composition is the ratio of fat weight (fat) to lean weight (muscles, bones and tissue). As

you age, the ratio shifts. The fat weight increases and the lean weight decreases. Training for

muscle strength will generally increase muscle size and aerobic conditioning will help burn

extra calories. Performing these two forms of exercise, either at different times or together, will

create the greatest changes in body fat weight.

Balanced Strength and alignment are the result of equal strength developed in all parts of

the body. It comes into play in your standing and sitting posture, and in your ability to perform

just about any activity safely and effectively. An over-development of the back will round the

shoulders; weak or stretched abdominals can cause lower back pain. You want a balance of
