Class Summary - Today we discussed the difference between aerobic (needs oxygen, longer lasting) and anaerobic (no oxygen, short bursts) exercises. We also discussed isotonic, isometric and isokinetic exercises. We addressed dietary supplements. We talked about the need to do research about supplements because some of them are not regulated by the FDA. It is always best to get our nutrients from food. We finished off talking about the FITT principle. The FITT principle is an acronym used to help us put together a fitness plan. F = Frequency (how often), I = Intensity (how hard), T = Time (how long), T = Type (what kind).
