We have an assignment and this is all about the physical fitness. First, we will have our warm-up then we will have our exercises. Our teacher said that our exercises are arm span, curl-ups and etc. but we don't know how to do it... please help me..
Sorry, I am not familiar with these terms either. The best option would be to ask your teacher to demonstrate the various exercises for you...and the other students. Almost all teachers are willing to answer serious student questions.
If you lack specific knowledge, asking is a very good way to remedy this lack. It does not mean that you are "stupid." You have asked us, but the person with the best knowledge in this area is your teacher. Ask your teacher.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
To help you get started with your physical fitness assignment, I can explain some common exercises that are often included in warm-up routines.
1. Arm Span: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and extend your arms out to the sides. Keeping your arms straight, swing them forward and then back, as if you are making large circles with your arms. This exercise helps to loosen up your shoulder and chest muscles.
2. Curl-ups: Lie down on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Place your hands on your chest or by the sides of your head, and, using your abdominal muscles, lift your upper body up towards your knees. Lower yourself back down slowly and repeat for the desired number of repetitions. Curl-ups help to strengthen the abdominal muscles.
3. Push-ups: Start in a plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your body in a straight line. Lower your chest towards the ground by bending your elbows and then push back up to the starting position. Push-ups target the chest, shoulders, and triceps.
4. Squats: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward. Bend your knees and lower your hips down towards the ground, keeping your chest up and your back straight. Push through your heels to stand back up. Squats are a compound exercise that works the muscles in your legs and glutes.
It's important to note that proper form and technique are crucial to avoid injuries. It would be best to have your teacher or a fitness professional demonstrate these exercises to you in person, as they can provide guidance and correct your form if needed.
Remember to start with a light warm-up, such as a light jog or jumping jacks, to get your heart rate up and your muscles warm. This helps to prepare your body for the exercises and reduces the risk of injury.
I hope this explanation helps you understand the exercises better. Make sure to consult your teacher for specific instructions and guidance tailored to your assignment. Good luck with your physical fitness assignment!
