STRETCHING, TWISTING, SQUATS, LUNGE, BALANCING
OVERVIEW OF THE TOPIC
In this module, you will learn and understand the importance of Core training specifically in
most of the physical activities that we do in our everyday life. The Core muscles provide support in
terms of mobility and stability when our body moves.
Training your core muscles which follows the training principles of progression, regression and overload
will enhance and also improve the efficiency of your movement.
Core Training
Core training is considered as the strengthening and conditioning of the core muscles surrounding the
mid-section of our body—the abdomen, hips, pelvis, and lower back. These muscles wrap and protect
the spine which is responsible for stabilizing and balancing the body during movement. And also, core
training refers to core stabilization or balance training.
A. NON-LOCOMOTOR
• Any movement that does not travel, but uses the available space in any direction or
movement organized around the axis of the body (axial movement); bending, twisting,
stretching, and swinging is an examples of axial movement.
Ex. Stretching, twisting, squats, lunge, balancing.
B. LOCOMOTOR
• Locomotor movement skills are those in which the body is moved in one direction, or a
combination of directions, from one point to another. Activities such as walking, jogging,
moving forwards, backward, side- shuffling, skipping, running, jumping, hopping, and
leaping are considered fundamental locomotion movements.
C. MANIPULATIVE
• Manipulative movements are movements that involve the use of a body part like hands or
feet to move or manipulate an item. Manipulative movements can include gross motor
skills, like kicking or bouncing a ball, or fine motor skills, like writing or coloring.
Manipulative motor skills are often important in sports.
The Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) are some of the most common actions from childhood to
adulthood. FMS consists of three skills groups that define physical literacy which are the non-
locomotor, locomotor, and manipulative skills.
Non-Locomotor
- Any movement that does not travel but uses the available space in any direction or movement
arranged around the axis of the body; bending, twisting, stretching, and swinging are examples
of axial movement.
Locomotor
- Locomotor movement abilities are those in which the body moves in one direction or a mix of
directions from one location to another. Walking, jogging, going forwards and backwards, side-
shuffling, skipping, running, jumping, hopping, and leaping are examples of essential locomotor
actions.
Manipulative
- Manipulative movements are those that entail the use of a bodily part, such as the hands or
feet, to move or manipulate an item. Manipulative motions can involve big motor abilities such
as kicking or bouncing a ball as well as fine motor skills such as writing or drawing. In sports,
manipulative motor abilities are frequently required.
• Core
• Posture
• Stability
• Spinal
• Anatomy
2. How are those words associated with Posture and Core stability?
It is connected because it is linked and contains comparable terms. The deep muscles in
your belly, pelvis, and back are known as core stability muscles or postural muscles. Rather
of shifting your trunk, they work as a corset or scaffolding to keep you together. To maintain
excellent posture, it is necessary to have strong postural muscles. There are four layers of
muscles in the abdomen.
Transverse Abdominals (Deep Abs), Pelvic Floor (a sling from your pelvic bone to tail), and Multifidus are
the three primary muscle groups that comprise your CORE STABILIZERS (small segmental muscles lining
your spine)
MOBILIZERS of the spine are the more superficial muscles that span over many joints, allowing them to
move several joints at once when they contract:
the rectus abdominus,
obliques,
lateral portions of erector spinae,
latissimus dorsi
quadratus lumborum.
Non-locomotor Skills
Non-locomotor skills include: bending, twisting, curling, and swaying motions involving a
wide range of body joints. Non-locomotor skills include stretching, bending, twisting, and
hand clapping. They consist of any motion of the body that doesn't result in traveling from
one place to another. Turning, foot tapping and winking are examples as well.
Training Guidelines
How much physical activity is recommended?
WHO guidelines and recommendations provide details for different age groups and specific population
groups on how much physical activity is needed for good health.
Non-locomotor Skills
• Bending, twisting, curling, and swaying actions involving a wide variety of bodily joints are
examples of non-locomotor abilities. Stretching, bending, twisting, and hand clapping are
examples of non-locomotor abilities. They include any movement of the body that does not
result in movement from one location to another. Turning, tapping the foot, and winking are
further instances.
Importance of Core Training:
Core exercises teach your pelvic, lower back, hips, and abdominal muscles to operate together. This
results in improved balance and stability, whether on the field or in daily activities. Most sports and
other physical pursuits, in fact, rely on strong core muscles.

Week 5
Designing a fitness training plan that's tailored to your personal goals will make you more likely to
succeed. The key to designing an effective training plan is determining your goals, choosing the right
kind of exercises, and tracking your progress along the way. By doing these things and sticking to your
plan, you'll be on your way to achieving your fitness goals.
If your plan has been put together properly you should really be getting the most out of your workouts,
which is especially important if you are looking to achieve your goals in a limited amount of time.
Having a plan in place will also allow you to measure your progress as you go along, so you can see
whether you are on track.

We divide movement competencies into more specific skills including: SENDING, TRANSPORTING,
RECEIVING, AND BODY CONTROL.
Sending includes how a child moves or sends an object away from them. This can include throwing,
kicking, head butting, or other creative methods. For example, if the goal of a game is to hit a target (e.g.
a plastic cone/pylon), the child has a number of different options. For example, s/he could throw
underhand or (sending upper overhand body) or kick (sending lower body) the ball, aiming for the
target.
Receiving skills include how a child catches or receives an object. This can include catching, using a foot
to stop a ball, trapping an object with their body, or other creative methods.
Transporting skills include different ways to move around the environment such as walking, running,
hopping, skipping and jumping (upright transporting), but also rolling and tumbling (vertical or prone
transporting).
Body control skills involve balance and skills that require us to move one part of our body while keeping
the others still. It can include body control skills while stationary
(e.g. standing while putting on shoes or reaching up to get an object from a high shelf) or while moving
(e.g. walking while balancing on the curb of a sidewalk)
Coordinated movements are how a child combines the different types of movement skills together in
everyday activities and play. This can include catching a ball while running or navigating an outdoor
playground.
Mobility training helps prevent muscles from becoming tight, immobile, and suffering from an all-around
lack of movement — again, leading to potential injury. We can only get away with poor and limited
mobility for a certain length of time before our body tells us we've had enough
Activity 1: "WHAT AM I?"
1. Type movement is done by a part or several parts of the body in a stationary place.
2. Type of movement that brings the performer from one place to another.
3. A major section or segments of the body.
4. Directions of steps can be indicated either in relation to the room or in relation to the body
position.
5. The act or an instance of moving; a change in place or position.
Participation in physical exercise requires movement competencies. If movement competences are not
established and nourished from a young age, this might lead to inactivity and the associated health and
social concerns. The diagram below shows how movement abilities lay the groundwork for involvement
in various physical activities.
Sending is the process by which a youngster transfers or sends an object away from them. Throwing,
kicking, head butting, and other inventive ways may be used. For instance, if the purpose of a game is to
strike a target (such as a plastic cone/pylon), the youngster has several possibilities. For example, he or
she may throw the ball underhand or (sending upper overhand body) or kick (sending lower body) it
toward the target.
Receiving abilities include a child's ability to catch or receive an object. This can involve catching,
stopping a ball with their foot, trapping an object with their body, or other inventive means.
Transporting abilities include many modes of movement such as walking, running, hopping, skipping,
and jumping (upright transporting), but also rolling and tumbling (vertical or prone transporting).
Body control talents include balance and the ability to move one area of our body while holding the
others steady. It may involve stationary body control skills.
2. Why do you think familiarizing oneself with these movement competencies is important?
Movement competences are required for involvement in physical activities. If movement
competences are not cultivated and nourished from a young age, this might lead to
inactivity and the health and social concerns associated with inactivity. The picture below
shows how movement abilities lay the groundwork for involvement in various physical
activities.
3. How do Send, Receiving, Transporting and Body Control Skills affect one another?
Sending is the process by which a youngster transfers or sends an object away from them.
Throwing, kicking, head butting, and other inventive ways may be used. For instance, if the
purpose of a game is to strike a target (such as a plastic cone/pylon), the youngster has
several possibilities. For example, he or she might toss the ball underhand or overhand
(sending upper body) or kick (sending lower body) toward the target.
Receiving skills include a child's ability to catch or receive an object. This can involve
catching, stopping a ball with their foot, trapping an object with their body, or other
inventive means.
Transporting skills include many modes of movement such as walking, running, hopping,
skipping, and jumping (upright transporting), but also rolling and tumbling (vertical or prone
transporting).
Body control skills include balance and the ability to move one area of our body while
holding the others steady. It can encompass stationary (e.g., standing while putting on shoes
or reaching up to obtain an article from a high shelf) or movement body control abilities
(e.g. walking while balancing on the curb of a sidewalk)
Activity 5: "PICK ONE AND DISCUSS"

Directions: Supply the missing letters to complete the words.
- Movement Competency
Activity 2:
Directions: Using the words you have completed in the previous activity,
Give your ideas about this.
1. How are these words associated with movement competency?
• It is spelled Movement Competency and is beneficial to your body Movement competencies
are essential for participation in physical activities. If movement competencies are not
developed and nurtured from a young age, this may lead to inactivity and the accompanying
health and social consequences. The diagram below depicts how movement abilities provide
the framework for participation in diverse physical activities.
Activity 3: Be Informed
Directions: Carefully read the following statements. Pick out a number and explain your answer briefly.
1. A balance of stability and mobility is therefore necessary for the successful completion of all
fundamental movement patterns.
• Muscle imbalances must be addressed using a unique approach to training program
creation. However, the correct movement-prep activities at the start of a workout may
make a tremendous impact, allowing you to get the most out of your sweating time.
Movement preparation is executing fundamental movement patterns in a variety of
directions and at varying rates in order to engage the neurological, circulatory, and
respiratory systems, which are in charge of directing and fuelling movement. Before tackling
the very difficult lifts in a training regimen, a thorough movement-prep warm-up program
helps minimize muscle tension, restore joint motion, and achieve optimum mobility.
• Your body is intended to move, and effective movement requires many muscles and joints
to operate together at the same time. When one area of the body moves, it can affect
motion throughout the rest of the body. It is critical to understand that joints in the body do
not work with a single fixed axis of rotation. Your body is built in such a way that it is energy
efficient. Injuries caused by a decrease of joint mobility can be avoided.
Module No. 7
Week 8
Warm-up — refers to preparatory exercise performed prior to engaging in more vigorous activities.
Warm-up exercises should be dynamic. Dynamic means actively warming up the body moving in a
variety of directions at different rates or speeds. This not only activates the tissues but also the nervous,
circulatory, and respiratory systems that are responsible for controlling and fueling the body for a tough
and physically demanding workout.
A cool-down will help in gradually bringing the body back to the resting state through static stretching
which also enhances flexibility. It is important to note that dynamic warm-up is not the same as
flexibility (e.g., static stretching) Training flexibility involves the bilateral or unilateral action (i.e.,
contraction, lengthening) of opposing muscle groups to produce joint movements. It is typically assessed
in a non-weight-bearing situation.
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation or PNF is another form Of stretching that combines static
stretch and isometric stretching for the purpose of enhancing flexibility. PNF has been proven to
enhance active and passive RON.
The functional core assessment as well as the level of core stability that has been achieved can be used
to identify whether there are limitations in mobility and flexibility. This assessment can also be used as
movement preparation and form part of the warm-up routine.

Activity 2
Directions: Using the information you got from the previous activity, Give your brief answers to the
questions below.
1. How are those pictures associated with exercises?
- It demonstrates how vital it is to reduce stress on the joints and muscles in order to avoid
injuries. Although body composition includes muscle, bone, and fat, it is generally
represented merely as a proportion of body fat.
Warm-up – a preparatory activity conducted before participating in more strenuous activities. Warm-up
activities should be active in nature. The term "dynamic" refers to actively warming up the body by
moving it in different directions at varying rates or speeds. This activates not just the tissues, but also
the neurological, circulatory, and respiratory systems, which are in charge of directing and feeding the
body for a strenuous and physically demanding workout.
The capacity of a joint to move freely over its range of motion is referred to as mobility.
The combined functioning of the muscles and other connective tissues is referred to as stability.
4. What other supplementary activities can develop flexibility, mobility, and stability?
- Warm-ups and gentle workouts focus on joints and muscles. Stretching is one of the various
activities you may do to enhance your flexibility. Your chosen way of warming up before a
workout may be static stretching, or holding one posture for a lengthy amount of time.
Activity 5:
Directions: Plan and design an exercise routine for the purpose of warm-up that will enhance and
improve mobility and stability. Identify the joints involved in the exercises.
Locomotor Skills
Crawling Exercises
The crawling pattern impacts our neuromotor abilities, core stability, and mobility. Crawling
requires synchronous or contralateral movement of the limbs on both sides of the body. This demands
that information pass through the corpus callosum (a broad band of the nerve), which links both
hemispheres of the brain, hence, establishing new neural connections and strengthening them. This
appears to improve coordination and learning.
During contralateral movements, the core is responsible for transferring energy across the
midline. A pronounced "wagging" of the hips while crawling is an indication of poor core stability.
Getting into a quadruped position and rocking the hips back toward the heels functions to help
mobility of the lumbo—pelvic complex.
Procedure:
1) Move contralaterally by stepping forward with one hand and the opposite knee.
2) Repeat with the other hand and knee.
3) Keep the steps small so that the opposite arm and leg can work together.

Exercise Variation
Mitochondria 1. Are membrane-bound cells that generates most of the chemical energy needed to
power the cell’s biochemical reaction.
Locomotor skills 2. Involve transporting the body or traveling from one point to another with the goal of
maintaining dynamic stability.
Motion 3. Is defined as an individual’s change in space over a time period. Movement can either
be forward or backward.
Skipping 4. Consists of a forward step followed by a hop on the same foot. There is alternation of
the lead leg with an uneven rhythmic pattern.
Jumping 5. Occurs when the body is projected into the air by force generated in one or both legs
and the body lands on one or both feet.
Aerobic activities 6. These are physical activities that require repetitive and sustained movements of
large muscle groups over a period of time.
Leaping 7. Jump and spring a long way.
Crawl 8. Move forward on the hand and knees or by dragging the body closer to the ground.
Cardiorespiratory fitness or CRF 9. Refers to the integrated function of the cardiovascular and
respiratory system to ensure a continuous supply of oxygen and nutrients as well as the elimination of
waste products or substances.
Running 10. Occurs when (1) legs alternate to propel the body through the air or the support
phase, (2) both feet are lifted off the ground or the flight phase, and (3) a foot strikes the ground upon
landing or the recovery phase.
The American College of Sports Medicine(ASCM) in their position stand published in 2011 has made
evidence-based recommendations on how to develop and maintain cardiorespiratory fitness. This is
important because an increase in cardiorespiratory fitness decreases the risk for chronic heart disease,
stroke, diabetes, and some form of cancer. Another benefit is that it decreases mortalitty and morbidity.
Engaging in physical activity and exercise regularly also improves blood pressure, cholesterol profile,
insulin sensitivity, and helps control weight.
Based on the review of available research and data, the ASCM recommends the following:
1.) Frequency: It is a recommended exercise on most days of the week. To be more specific, five
days per week or more for moderate exercise or three days per week for vigorous exercise, or
three to five days of combinations of some days of moderate exercise and some days of
vigorous exercise.
2.) Intensity: Moderate to vigorous intensity of exercise is recommended while light to moderate
intensity is recommended for deconditioned individuals (elderly, or those who have illnesses
making them inactive. Sendentary persons who spend most of their time sitting, like watching
TV, or using computer, are still recommended to do moderate intensity exercise.
3.) Volume: Daily moderate-intensity exercise lasting for 30 to 60 minutes ( or 150 -300 minutes
per week) is recommended. For vigorous-intensity exercise this would be 20 to 60 minutes per
day or a total of 75 minutes per week. It is important to note that the recommended minutes
are for the days the peson will be exercicsing. For sedentary people, working your way into the
recommended intensity is ideal. A volume of fewer than 20 minutes per day may still be
beneficial.
4.) Type: The activity done should be regular, a purposeful exercise that involves the major muscle
groups. The execise should also be continuous and rhythmic in nature. This means that the
exercise should be designed with fitness development in mind.
5.) Pattern: Exercise may be performed in one session per day or in small sesions of 10 minutes to
accumulate the desired duration of exercise for the day. According to the ASCM, evidence for
this has been gathered from a rich body of data.
6.) Progression: Exercise progression should be done gradually by modifying the duration,
frequency, and/or intensity until the exercise goal is achieved( in this case, cardiorespiratory
fitness). It is important to always keep in mind that the intensity should always be challenging
enough yet not too much that it will cause injury.
When increasing the pedometer count from 2000 to a daily step count of 7000 steps maintain a pace of
100 steps per minute (while also keeping the recommended length of exercise duration) to stimulate
improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness level.
Locomotor Skills
Locomotor skills enable children to move through different environments, moving their bodies
from one place to another. The key locomotor skills are WALKING, RUNNING, JUMPING,
HOPPING, CRAWLING, marching, climbing, galloping, sliding, leaping, hopping, and
skipping.
How do locomotor movements help develop physical fitness?
Increasing stability, and building strong muscles, heart, and bones. Development of their
locomotor skills such as walking, running, hopping, and climbing. Enhancing their thinking and
problem-solving skills. The emergence of manipulative skills - fine motor skills, like squeezing,
grasping, pinching, etc.
What is Cardiorespiratory endurance?
Cardiorespiratory endurance is the ability of the lungs, heart, and blood vessels to deliver
adequate amounts of oxygen to the cells to meet the demands of prolonged physical activity. It
is the single most important component of health-related physical fitness. Aerobic exercise is
important in pre
What are the benefits of increasing cardiorespiratory fitness through exercise?
Increasing cardiorespiratory endurance has a positive effect on your overall health. Your lungs
and heart are able to better use oxygen. This allows you to exercise for longer periods without
getting tired. Most people can increase their cardiorespiratory endurance by doing regular
exercise.
High levels of physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness are associated with lower all-cause
and cardiovascular mortality. Furthermore, physical activity can reduce the development of
chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, stroke, and cancer.
Sample CRF exercises:
Non-locomotor Skills
Non-locomotor skills include the ability to bend, twist, curl, and sway while using a
variety of bodily joints. Stretching, bending, twisting, and hand clapping are non-
locomotor abilities. They include any movement of the body that does not involve
moving from one location to another. Other instances include turning, tapping the
foot, and winking.
Locomotor Skills
The ability to move one's body in a single direction or several different directions
from one place to another is known as locomotor movement. Fundamental
locomotor actions include walking, jogging, moving forward, backward, sideways,
skipping, running, jumping, hopping, and leaping.
Locomotor Skills
Children that have good locomotor abilities can move their bodies around in a variety of
contexts. The main locomotor abilities include hopping, running, crawling, marching, galloping,
sliding, leaping, and skipping.
How can locomotor activities promote physical fitness?
Increasing stability and developing strong bones, muscles, and hearts. growth of their locomotor
abilities, including as hopping, running, and climbing. improving their capacity for analysis and
problem-solving. the development of manipulative abilities, or fine motor skills like pinching,
gripping, and squeezing.
How do you define cardiorespiratory endurance?
The capacity of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to provide enough oxygen to the cells to
fulfill the demands of sustained physical exercise is known as cardiorespiratory endurance. It is
the single most crucial element of physical fitness for health. Aerobic activity is crucial for pre
What advantages come with improving cardiorespiratory fitness through physical activity?
Your entire health will benefit from improving your cardiorespiratory endurance. Your heart and
lungs can utilize oxygen more effectively. You may workout longer without feeling fatigued
thanks to this. The majority of people may improve their cardiorespiratory endurance by
exercising often.
Lower all-cause and cardiovascular mortality is correlated with high levels of physical activity
and cardiorespiratory fitness. Additionally, regular exercise helps slow the onset of chronic
conditions including cancer, diabetes, stroke, and hypertension.
2. What is the relationship between CRF and Locomotor skills? Elaborate on your
answer.
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) refers to the capacity of the circulatory and respiratory
systems to supply oxygen to skeletal muscle mitochondria for energy production needed
during physical activity.
Locomotor movement refers to the capacity to move one's body in a single direction or
numerous diverse directions from one location to another. Walking, jogging, moving
forward, backward, sideways, skipping, running, jumping, hopping, and leaping are all
basic locomotor motions.

Resistance training is intended to increase muscular strength and endurance, but it has a
wide variety of health benefits, too.
Here are a few benefits you may experience from incorporating resistance training into your
workout routine.
1. Brachioradialis
2. Rectus abdominus
3. Sartorius
4. Gastrocnemius
5. Pectrals
6. Deltoids
7. Triceps
8. Biceps
9. External obliques
10. Quadriceps
It's also crucial to remember that you may begin a resistance training program without
purchasing any special equipment. Pushups, squats, planks, and other workouts may all be
performed with only your body weight. Alternatively, you may use everyday objects like gallon
water jugs, soup cans in a canvas bag, or a backpack with an unopened bag of flour to add extra
weight.
Activity 3: Read, Think and Share
Directions: Read and understand the concepts below. You can raise questions that you want to
clarify where students and teachers must collaborate in this part.
A type of exercise called resistance training is used to build muscle strength and stamina. It
includes working out muscles against resistance. Weights, bands, or even your own body weight
pushing against gravity can be used as resistance.
You can concentrate on certain outcomes when performing resistance training, also known as
strength training or weight training, such as joint stability, muscular endurance, increased muscle
growth, strength, and power.
3. Can you do resistance training every day why yes? Why not?
Yes, Working exercise every day is great as long as you're not pushing yourself too
hard or becoming obsessed with it. Make it something you love without being too
severe on yourself, especially during times of illness or injury.
Body Mass Index (BMI) take note of your actual weight as an indicator of health risk. Getting
the rough measure of body composition that is useful for classifying the health risks of body
weight in proportion to height. It is calculated by dividing your body weight (kilograms) by the
square of your height (meter).
The standard weight status categories associated with BMI ranges for adults are shown in the following table.
The science behind weight management is complex, but one of the key concepts that govern
weight management is Energy Balance. Energy Balance is the phrase used to describe the
difference between the number of calories a person consumes and the number of calories that
same person expends (a.k.a. burns) in a given time period. The calories a person consumes come
from both the foods and drinks they eat and drink. The calories a person expends comes from
their basal metabolic rate and their daily physical activity.
When eating a healthy diet mainly composed of vegetables, lean meats, and fruits, the human
body is very good at maintaining a neutral energy balance so that calories consumed do not
substantially exceed calories expended in a given time period and vice versa. This unconscious
regulation of energy balance is one of the factors that make sustained weight loss very difficult
for many people. That being said, consuming fewer calories than the number of calories
expended each day is fundamental to weight loss in both the short and long term.
Activity1: My Daily Meal Log
Directions: Using the Daily Meal Log, fill in your meals for five consecutive days.
One of the best tips may be to completely ignore claims on the front of the packaging. Front
labels try to lure you into purchasing products by making health claims. In fact, research shows
that adding health claims to front labels makes people believe a product is healthier than the
same product that doesn’t list health claims — thus affecting consumer choices.
Manufacturers are often dishonest in the way they use these labels. They tend to use health
claims that are misleading and, in some cases, downright false.
Despite what the label may imply, these products are not healthy.
This makes it hard for consumers to choose healthy options without a thorough inspection of the
ingredients list.
Here are some of the most common claims — and what they mean:
Light. Light products are processed to reduce either calories or fat. Some
products are simply watered down. Check carefully to see if anything has been
added instead — like sugar.
Multigrain. This sounds very healthy but only means that a product contains
more than one type of grain. These are most likely refined grains — unless the
product is marked as whole grain.
Natural. This does not necessarily mean that the product resembles anything
natural. It simply indicates that at one point the manufacturer worked with a
natural source like apples or rice.
Organic. This label says very little about whether a product is healthy. For
example, organic sugar is still sugar.
No added sugar. Some products are naturally high in sugar. The fact that they
don’t have added sugar doesn’t mean they’re healthy. Unhealthy sugar
substitutes may also have been added.
Low-fat. This label usually means that the fat has been reduced at the cost of
adding more sugar. Be very careful and read the ingredients list.
Made with whole grains. The product may contain very little whole grains.
Check the ingredients list — if whole grains aren’t in the first three
ingredients, the amount is negligible.
Fortified or enriched. This means that some nutrients have been added to the
product. For example, vitamin D is often added to milk. Yet, just because
something is fortified doesn’t make it healthy.
Gluten-free. Gluten-free doesn’t mean healthy. The product simply doesn’t
contain wheat, spelt, rye, or barley. Many gluten-free foods are highly
processed and loaded with unhealthy fats and sugar.
Zero trans fat. This phrase means “less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per
serving.” Thus, if serving sizes are misleadingly small, the product may still
contain trans fat.
In doing so, they can list a healthier ingredient at the top, mentioning sugar further down. So
even though a product may be loaded with sugar, it doesn’t necessarily appear as one of the first
three ingredients.
To avoid accidentally consuming a lot of sugar, watch out for the following names of sugar in
ingredient lists:
Types of sugar: beet sugar, brown sugar, buttered sugar, cane sugar, caster
sugar, coconut sugar, date sugar, golden sugar, invert sugar, muscovado sugar,
organic raw sugar, raspadura sugar, evaporated cane juice, and confectioner’s
sugar.
Other added sugars: barley malt, molasses, cane juice crystals, lactose, corn
sweetener, crystalline fructose, dextran, malt powder, ethyl maltol, fructose,
fruit juice concentrate, galactose, glucose, disaccharides, maltodextrin, and
maltose.
5. The Bottom Line
The best way to avoid being misled by product labels is to avoid processed foods altogether.
After all, whole food doesn’t need an ingredients list.
Still, if you decide to buy packaged foods, be sure to sort out the junk from the higher-quality
products with the helpful tips in this article.
B. Fad Diets
Many fad diets promote quick weight loss without taking into effect the nutrients your body
needs. These weight loss plans rarely help you over the long haul — and some can even cause
health problems. Here’s how to identify a fad diet.
Fad diets are plans sold as the best and fastest approach to losing weight. Yet some of these diets
involve eliminating foods that contain necessary nutrients that your body needs to maintain good
health. Some diets claim particular hormones are to blame for weight gain, suggesting that food
can change body chemistry. Often these diets aren’t well researched, or the research is faulty.
These are the kinds of diets that you often see endorsed by celebrities or promoted through
media. Some hype particular foods like cabbage, foods that contain probiotics, or raw foods. Or
they may include high-fat, low-carbohydrate, or high-protein diets. They eliminate important
sources of nutrition, such as grains. Or they eliminate certain ingredients, such as lectins.
Some have you eliminate certain foods at specific times of the day. Others allow you certain
foods, as long as you eat them along with certain other foods.
Although some diets may be recommended in special situations, many of these may lack major
nutrients, such as dietary fiber and carbohydrates, as well as selected vitamins, minerals, and
protective phytochemicals. By not receiving the right amounts of these nutrients, you can
develop serious health problems.
All fad diets have one thing in common: They propose a temporary solution to what for many
people is a lifelong problem. Once the diet is stopped, the lost weight is usually regained quickly.
Fad diets don’t focus on lifestyle modification, which is necessary to keep the weight off, and
these diets aren’t sustainable throughout life.
There isn’t a set approach to spotting a fad diet, but these general tips can help. Fad diets tend to
have:
What is still the best method to lose weight and keep it off?
Exercise regularly and eat a variety of unprocessed or minimally processed foods with moderate
portions.

Physical Activity refers to an activity that involves the contraction of muscles- examples are
gardening, walking, climbing stairs, etc. On the other hand, an exercise is a specific form of
physical activity that is planned and structured involving repetitive bodily movements performed
to improve and maintain physical fitness.
Exercise - physical activity that is planned, structured, and repetitive for the purpose of
conditioning the body. The exercise consists of cardiovascular conditioning, strength and
resistance training, and flexibility
Physical Fitness – is the set of goals that people have or achieve that is related to their ability to
perform a physical activity
Levels of Physical Activity
1. Light intensity activity- such as walking slowly and gardening
2. Moderate Intensity activity- such as walking briskly, and playing leisure sports
3. Vigorous activity- such as jogging, running, playing competitive sports, and circuit training.
Rest - part of recovery. Recovery is everything that happens after the end of one workout and
before the start of the next one. So, rest includes sleep, time for stillness—both mental and
physical—as well as participation in activities that provide mental and/or physical rejuvenation
