Q & A
What is cardio respiratory or aerobic exercise?
-Cardio respiratory or aerobic exercise is any type of exercise that raises your heartbeat. It involves the respiratory and cardiovascular systems working together to deliver oxygen to all parts of your body, strengthening both systems and related organs.
What are some examples of steady-state cardio exercises?
-Examples of steady-state cardio exercises include walking, jogging, and even performing everyday tasks like cleaning the house, walking the dog, or working in the yard.
What is interval training, and how does it differ from steady-state cardio?
-Interval training involves alternating between periods of high-intensity exercise and lower-intensity recovery. For example, walking for three minutes and jogging for 30 seconds, repeated for a set period. Unlike steady-state cardio, which involves maintaining a constant pace, interval training varies in intensity.
What are the benefits of strength or resistance training?
-Strength or resistance training helps improve muscle strength and stamina, increases bone density, improves sleep, and makes everyday tasks easier, such as climbing stairs or carrying groceries.
What types of equipment can be used for resistance training?
-Equipment for resistance training includes free weights like dumbbells, resistance bands, exercise machines, bodyweight exercises, medicine balls, suspension trainers, and exercise balls.
What is the difference between static and dynamic stretches?
-Static stretches involve slow movements into a peak position, which is then held for a period. Dynamic stretches involve moving parts of the body through a full range of motion while gradually increasing the reach or speed of the movement.
What is balance training, and why is it important?
-Balance training involves exercises that help maintain or improve balance. It is important because it can help prevent falls and injuries, improve neuromuscular connections, enhance athletic performance, and make everyday movements easier.
What is offset balance, and can you provide an example of an exercise for it?
-Offset balance exercises involve holding weight on one side of the body or holding different weights on each side. An example is doing a lunge while holding a dumbbell on one side of the body.
What are coordinated movements, and how can they be improved?
-Coordinated movements involve using different parts of the body together smoothly and efficiently. They can be improved with exercises like tossing a ball against a wall and catching it, dribbling a basketball while jogging, or combining strength training movements like a squat to an arm curl to a shoulder press.
Why are balance and coordination exercises often overlooked, and why should they not be neglected?
-Balance and coordination exercises are often overlooked because many people focus on cardio or strength training. However, these exercises are crucial as they enhance neuromotor skills, making movements easier and more efficient, which is important for both athletic performance and daily life activities.
Outlines
đââïž Overview of Cardio and Strength Exercises
The first paragraph covers different types of exercises, starting with cardio respiratory or aerobic exercises, which raise the heartbeat to improve the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Types of cardio exercises include steady-state cardio (e.g., walking or jogging), interval training, and circuit training that combines cardio with strength exercises. More advanced options like HIIT (high-intensity interval training) are also mentioned. The paragraph then transitions to strength or resistance training, explaining how it builds muscle, improves bone density, and eases everyday tasks. Methods of resistance training include using free weights, resistance bands, machines, bodyweight exercises, and more, with each providing specific benefits for strength development.
đ€žââïž Coordination and Neuromotor Exercises
The second paragraph delves into flexibility, balance, and coordination exercises. Flexibility exercises improve joint range of motion, with static and dynamic stretches being the most popular. Balance training enhances stability and prevents injuries, with examples such as stationary balance (standing on one foot), motion balance (lunges), and offset balance (holding weights on one side). Coordination exercises help synchronize body movements, including actions like tossing a ball against a wall or dribbling a basketball. It emphasizes the importance of neuromotor exercises for efficient movement, often overlooked in workout routines, and encourages their inclusion for improved balance and coordination.

What's up dudes and what is up beautiful ladies out there, Bryan here and in this video we are Â
gonna go through the different types of exercise, all right let's roll. The first type of exercise is Â
cardio respiratory or aerobic exercise, which in general is any type of exercise that raises your Â
heartbeat. Your respiratory and cardiovascular systems work together to deliver oxygen you Â
breathe in, to all parts of your body, and doing regular cardio exercise sessions strengthens Â
both of these systems, and many of the organs in these systems. There are different types of Â
cardio exercise and they're usually based on heart rate and exertion. Steady-state cardio is Â
keeping a constant pace for a specific distance or duration, such as walking or jogging. Even Â
performing everyday tasks such as cleaning the house, walking the dog, or working in the Â
yard can be considered a moderate form of cardio. Interval training is another type of cardio, where Â
you maybe walk for three minutes and jog for 30 seconds, repeating this cycle for a specific time Â
period. Circuit training can also be a form of cardio, combining some strength exercises with Â
cardio based exercises. For instance 4 exercises, side-to-side hops, side dumbbell raises, lunges, and Â
push-ups. You can take short rests between the exercises or do the complete circuit, and take Â
a rest, and then do the circuit again. And more advanced athletes can do HIIT, or high intensity Â
interval training. An example of this would be to maybe sprint for 20 seconds, then walk for 20 Â
seconds, and repeat this cycle for say eight bouts. This would be a one to one ratio, and the ratio Â
can be changed, as many athletes do a two to one ratio, sprinting for 30 seconds then walking for Â
15 seconds. The next type of exercise is strength or resistance training, which in general is any Â
type of exercise that requires a muscle or group of muscles to exert force. Resistance training Â
can help improve strength, stamina, increase bone density, improve sleep, and it can also make many Â
everyday tasks easier, such as climbing up stairs or carrying groceries into the house. There are Â
many different types of ways to perform strength training exercises. You can use free weights, such Â
as dumbbells, which are very efficient as they allow for a full range of motion and Â
work more stabilizing muscles, resistance bands are very versatile as all you need to use them Â
is something to wrap them around, which in many cases can be your own body. Bands are Â
great at providing what is called progressive resistance, which means they provide an increase Â
in resistance throughout the range of motion of the exercise. Exercise machines provide another Â
way to do resistance training, most of these machines are based on a cable pulley system to Â
provide the resistance. Bodyweight exercises are another way to perform resistance training, in Â
these types of exercises your body is providing resistance against gravity. There are many other Â
ways to perform strength training exercises such as with medicine balls, suspension trainers, and Â
exercise balls. Flexibility exercises are the stretching of muscles and tendons to improve Â
joint range of motion and physical function. There are many types of stretches to improve Â
flexibility with the two most popular being static stretches and dynamic stretches. Static stretches Â
consist of slow movements into a peak position, then holding that position. Dynamic stretches is Â
moving parts of the body through a full range of motion while slowly increasing the reach or Â
speed of the movement. The next type of exercise is balance training. Having good balance can help to Â
prevent falls and injuries, improve neuromuscular connections, improve athletic performance, and make Â
many everyday movements easier. There are three main types of balance, stationary balance, motion Â
balance, and offset balance. Stationary balance is when your body is not in motion, so standing still Â
on both feet requires balance, doing alternating movements like alternating curls or side raises Â
or single leg exercises, such as standing on one foot and holding the other foot off the Â
ground, or even doing single leg arm curls can help improve stationary balance. Motion balance Â
is exactly what it sounds like, the ability to balance yourself during movement. A great Â
example of this is lunges. Doing a front lunge, where you step forward, or especially a back Â
lunge, where you step backwards requires a great deal of balance and coordination. Box or platform jumps Â
are another movement that requires balance as you stick the landing. Offset balance is where one Â
side of your body holds a weight, or each side of your body holds a different amount of weight, so Â
doing a single arm side raise is an offset balance exercise, or doing a lunge while Â
holding a dumbbell on one side of your body, is a combination of offset and motion balance. The Â
next type of exercise is coordinated movements, which is the ability to use different parts of Â
the body together smoothly and efficiently. Using your hands and foot to drive a car, or walking Â
and scrolling through your phone, are a couple examples of coordinated movements. A few exercises Â
to improve coordination include tossing a ball against the wall and catching it as it returns Â
to you, dribbling a basketball while jogging and alternating hands, kicking a ball against the wall Â
and stopping it as it returns to you, doing jumping lunges alternating feet, and you can even combine Â
strength training movements like doing a squat to an arm curl to a shoulder press, or a bent over row Â
to a kickback to help improve coordination. Both balance and coordination are neuromotor exercises Â
that really strengthen your ability to move easier and more efficiently, however many people overlook Â
these type of exercises in their workout routines, so you need to make sure you're not neglecting Â
these. Alright folks, that's a wrap for this video, hopefully you're doing everything you can to make Â
today better than yesterday. I've got more videos right there for you, till next time I am outta here.
