Blood Pressure • • • Ideal Pressure- 120/80 Ranges From……. . Top # (systolic) 100 -140 Bottom # (diastolic) 60 -90 When diastolic # is high, this is an indication of a serious problem • High Blood Pressure = Hypertension • Low Blood Pressure = Hypotension • Stroke results from Hypertension, can cause paralysis on one side of the body

The Heart • The heart is a large muscular organ located on the left side of the chest.

Pulse Rate • Pulse rate-resting heart rate • Ideal normal-80 per min. • Range Normal-60 -100 per min. • People who exercise may have a lower resting rate

Respiration • Normal range = 14 -20 breaths per minute

Aerobic Exercise is aerobic if you • Use the large muscles in the lower part of your body • Breathe more heavily w/o being out of breath & feel warmer (heart rate is 60%80% of your maximum) • exercise 20 min. at a time, 3 or more times a week, or 10 min bouts at different times of the day

Remember: the only way to lose body fat is to burn more calories than you take in. Benefits of aerobic exercise: • Makes your heart stronger & more effective (which helps prevent heart disease) • Increases endurance to prevent tiring • reduces excess fat • tones your muscles • improves circulation • burns calories while exercising & over time, adds muscles, which raises metabolism

Cool Down • Be sure to cool down after exercise • Bring your heart rate down slowly to recovery rate • Cooling down prevents fast-pumping blood from pooling in the muscles & organs, which can cause nausea or soreness
