MY FITNESS PLAN

-

Out of the three fitness tests and measures, what I'd like to improve and to further strengthen is my FLEXIBILITY. As a ballerina, it is important for me to have high leg extensions and my body should be well-stretched before dancing. I believe that this workout schedule that I have prepared would really help and aid me in enhancing my flexibility.

FITNESS TESTS AND MEASURES

TEST FOR AEROBIC CAPACITY TREADMILL TEST It is also known as the "exercise stress test" . This test is  used to determine how well the heart responds during times when it’s working its hardest . During the test, the individual is asked to exercise on a treadmill while hooked up to an electrocardiogram (EKG) machine which allows the medical personnel to monitor one's heart rate. The treadmill is an appropriate mode to assess the  VO2 max of most patients/clients because it can be programmed for walking, jogging, or running speeds. The advantage of this test is that one can obtain a patient's maximum heart rate without relying upon one's age-predicted MHR when prescribing training HR range. However, the downside of this test is the cost of the equipment.  The Balke Treadmill Exercise Test It was developed as a clinical test to determine peak VO 2  in cardiac patients, though it can also be used to estimate cardiovascular fitness in athletes....

"Yoga is not for the flexible. It's for the willing." EVALUATION When I measured my ROM using a goniometer during my initial straight leg raise test (before engaging myself into Yoga), it measured:  Hip Flexion (Knee Straight): 0-90 degrees Hip Abduction: 0-80 degrees Hip Extension: 0-50 degrees However, after doing the 5-day Yoga exercise (I did it for two weeks!) that I have prepared to improve my flexibility, these were the results when measured by a goniometer: Hip Flexion (Knee Straight): 0-110 degrees Hip Abduction: 0-90 degrees Hip Extension: 0-70 degrees These results (the before and the after) are actually not normal, this shows that my joints in these areas are hypermobile, which means that my joints have an unusuall large range of movement and I can move my limbs into positions others find impossible. This is most probably caused by my several years of dancing ballet.  PERSONAL EXPERIENCE I am not new to Yoga. Apparently, I hav...
