Components of Fitness




                                                   
 Above are the 7 methods of training that i choose to help me with my challenge. These are Cardio, Muscular Stength, muscular endurance, speed, power, flexibility and balance. In the table above you can see each week of my programme. I have put in the number of times per week that I plan to work on this component of fitness and this has then been applied to my exercise programme. Cardio is needed for majority of my challenge as my challenge is going to be longer than 10 minutes and requires the aerobic energy system. Flexibility is needed in most challenges but particulary for me personally I need to include it for recovery purposes especially for my knee injury. Muscular Strength, Muscular endurance and power will be worked on through out the 11 weeks as these will be key factors to get me through the challenge and to help me make it to the 100% of effort that i have for both the press ups and the cycling. Balance is just something that can be worked on through out and will help me with the press ups by keeping me steady on the way down and the way up. The last component that I plan to use is speed, I plan to train this by doing 5km as fast as i can go then 2km slow or something similar. At the same time I will slowly increase the distance over time.
