Detailing Your Car: Weight Training and Your Bones

For this application assignment, complete the Weight-Training Workout you previewed in the content section of this topic. When you do the resistance training, take the workout to the gym or other facility, such as your school or even your house. Read over the workout guide, and prepare to do it three times this week, but not on consecutive days. You can use your planning skills to set a time and place, and maybe ask a friend to join you in these exercises.

Remember to stretch before the workout to prepare your muscles, and after the workout to prepare your muscles for relaxation. During each exercise, you are to maintain your target heart rate. Please refer to the Fitness Log Information link and the Measuring Your Heart Rate link in the Developmental Module for directions, download the Fitness Log to your computer, and have it accessible throughout the week.

Make sure you have completed the entire fitness log, including:

• Course Information (Module # and Topic #)
  
• Heart Rate Information
  
• Activity Reflection
  
• Activity Log
  
• Any Additional Comments

If you use an exercise tracking device or system like a gaming console, watch, wristband, pedometer, mobile application, or a software program, make sure that you are saving the information from each workout.

Once you have completed your fitness log, save the file and submit it to the dropbox. You will also need to save a copy of it for your fitness journal that you will submit at the end of this course.
