Your health risks are showing. You may be taking serious and
unnecessary risks with your health. Perhaps you are not aware of
the risks or what to do about them. Most likely you need additional
information and help in deciding how to successfully make the
changes you desire. You can easily get the information that you
need to improve, if you wish. The next step is up to you.
Reflective Questions
1. Are you aware of your family’s health history and lifestyle factors that may
negatively affect your health and fitness?
2. Do you accumulate at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity
five days per week?
3. Do you make a constant and deliberate effort to stay healthy and achieve the
highest potential for well-being?
Being physically active can help you achieve a healthy weight and prevent
excessive weight gain. However, physical activity is also important to all other aspects
of your health. Benefits include sleeping better at night, decreasing your chances of
becoming depressed, and helping you look good. When you are not physically active,
you are more likely to have health problems, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes,
and high blood pressure.

65
The amount of physical activity needed to manage body weight depends on
calorie intake and varies a lot from person to person. Some adults will need to do more
physical activity than others to manage body weight.
Here’s a real life story on how Yani (a young aspirant in basketball) changed
her lifestyle and later on became very much conscious on the importance of managing
her weight to improve her sports performance. Read the story below and make some
reflections.
REAL LIFE STORY: YANI’S EXPERIENCE
A couple of times over the last few years, I tried to diet. It would usually start
during New Year’s Day when I would make a resolution to lose the extra weight I was
carrying. For a few weeks, I would try to cut out desserts, avoid second servings,
and eat less fatty food. At times when I would weigh myself, even if I thought I had
really followed my routine well, the scale still wouldn’t show any difference, which
was really discouraging. Sometimes when I lost a few pounds, I would look in the
mirror, but I still look flabby. I didn’t consider adding any exercise to my training
routine because I hate to sweat a lot. I hate being out of breath, and I hate feeling
bad because I’m not able to keep up with other, more fit people. Besides, after a
long day of classes and homework, I would rather spend my free time updating my
Facebook account, playing video games, or watching TV. But when I tried out for
my school’s varsity team , I learned about how important exercise was for proper
weight management. I got motivated when I started to get serious with our basketball
training. I started to lift weights, walk and jog in the gym. I tried to ignore how my
teammates could lift more or run so much faster than me. Gradually, my fitness level
improved. Now, several months later, my efforts have really paid off. So far, I have
lost more than 30 pounds. And what’s more, getting regular exercise has helped
me to be more positive and has made me feel stronger and more energetic during
basketball games. I am pretty sure that exercise is going to be a lifetime habit and I
will never want to go back to my couch potato ways.
Assess your Behavior
1. Are you satisfied with your current body composition (including body weight)
and quality of life? If not, are you willing to do something about it to properly
resolve your problem?
2. Do you weigh yourself regularly and make adjustments in energy intake and
physical activity habits if your weight starts to slip upward.
Many people want to lose weight so they will look better. Are you one of them?
The problem is that some people have a distorted image of what they would really
look like if they were to reduce to what they think is their ideal weight. Hereditary
factors play a big role, and only a small fraction of the population have the genes
for a “perfect body.”

66
The question you can ask your self is: Am I happy with my weight? Part of
enjoying a higher quality of life is being happy with yourself. If you are not, you
either need to do something about it or to learn to live with it.
The Simple Truth
There is no quick and easy way to take off excess body fat and keep it off for
good. Weight management is accomplished by making a lifetime commitment to be
physically active and have proper food selection. When taking part in a weight/fat
reduction program, you also have to decrease your caloric intake, be physically active,
and implement strategies to modify unhealthy eating behaviors.
Take a look at some weight loss strategies that would help you manage your
weight properly.
Weight Loss Strategies
99 Make a commitment to change. You must accept that you have a problem and
decide that you really want to change.
99 Incorporate exercise into the program. Choosing enjoyable activities, places,
time, equipment, and friends to work out with will help you get motivated.
99 Avoid automatic eating. Many people associate certain daily activities with eating,
for example cooking, watching television, or reading. Most foods consumed in
these situations lack nutritional value or are high in sugar and fat.
99 Stay busy. People tend to eat more when they sit around and do nothing.
99 Try “junior size” instead of “super size”. People who are served larger portions
eat more, whether they are hungry or not. Use smaller plates, bowls, cups, and
glasses.
99 Eat slowly and at the table only. Eating at the table encourages people to take
time out to eat and deters snacking between meals. After eating do not sit around
the table but rather, clean up and put away the food to avoid snacking.
99 Cut unnecessary items from your diet. Substituting water for a daily can of soda
would cut calories from your diet.
99 Do not serve more food than you should eat. Measure food in portions and keep
serving dishes away from the table.
99 Think positive. Avoid negative thoughts about how difficult changing past
behaviours might be. Instead think of the benefits you will reap, such as feeling,
looking, and functioning better, plus enjoying better health and improving the
quality of life.
Try It!
In your notebook, answer the following questions:
1. How many of the above strategies do you use to help maintain your
recommended body weight?
2. Do you feel that any of these strategies specifically help you manage body
weight more effectively? If so, explain why.
3. What did you realize after learning the different weight loss strategies?

Critical Thinking
Do you consider yourself overweight? If so, how long have you had a weight
problem? What attempts have you made to lose weight, and what has worked best for
you?
The risk of being obese and overweight will bring a lot of health problems
to many individuals. Read the health consequences accompanied by being obese.
Manage your weight properly while you are still young and influence the people around
you by setting good examples on how you can be fit and healthy always.
Health Consequences of Excessive Body Weight
Being overweight or obese increases the risk for:
• high blood pressure
• type 2 diabetes
• congestive heart failure
• obstructive sleep apnea and respiratory problems
• poor female reproductive health (menstrual
irregularities)
• psychological disorders (depression, eating
disorders, distorted body image, discrimination, and
low self-esteem)
• shortened life expectancy
• decreased quality of life
• gallbladder diseases
• stroke
• gout

Eating disorders
Eating disorders are illnesses that involve crucial disturbances in eating
behaviors thought to stem from some environmental pressures. These disorders are
characterized by an intense fear of becoming fat, which does not disappear even when
the person is losing weight in extreme amounts. Take a look at the following eating
disorders:
• Anorexia nervosa – an eating disorder characterized by self-imposed starvation
to lose and maintain very low body weight due to a false/distorted perception
of being fat
• Bulimia nervosa – an eating disorder characterized by a pattern of binge eating
and purging in an attempt to lose weight and/or maintain low body weight
• Binge-eating disorder – an eating disorder characterized by uncontrollable
episodes of eating excessive amounts of food within a relatively short time
• Emotional eating – the consumption of large quantities of food to suppress
negative emotions
What do you think is the key to weight management? The combination of diet
and exercise leads to greater weight loss. Exercise increases the rate of weight loss
and is vital in maintaining the ideal weight. Not only will exercise maintain lean tissue,
but those who exercise and remain physically active for 60 or more minutes per day
are able to keep their weight off.
Now that you have learned that many factors that can affect one’s lifestyle and
weight management, you should be aware of the importance of engaging in regular
fitness activities. Are you ready to perform the variety of fitness recreation activities
in this module? Let’s get started with the basics! What is your concept of active
recreation? What activities should you engage in to enjoy, have fun, and maintain a fit
and healthy body? Let’s define first leisure, play and recreation before we go into the
different active recreational fitness activities in the succeeding lessons.
Our nation’s young people are, in large measure, inactive, unfit, and increasingly
overweight. Ultimately, this could have a devastating impact on our national health
care budget. Young people like you can build healthier bodies and establish healthy
lifestyles by including recreational activities in your daily routine.
Activity 5: WORD ASSOCIATION
I. Objective:
To understand the concept and importance of active recreation
II. Materials:
• pen
• meta strips
III. Procedure:
1. Form three (3) groups and assign a leader.
2. Group members will be given “meta-strips” where they will write a word or
phrase that can be associated with the term “ACTIVE RECREATION”.
3. Post the meta-strips on the board.
4. Summarize all the statements and come-up with a definition of “ACTIVE
RECREATION”.

70
After discussing the concept of active recreation with your group, reflect on the
benefits listed below. Share the benefits with your family members and motivate them
to be active individuals just like you.
Definitions of Leisure, Play, and Recreation
Concept Definition
Leisure as time
Leisure is time free from obligations, work, (paid and unpaid), and
tasks required for existing (sleeping, eating)
Leisure as
activity
Leisure is a set of activities that people engage in during free time
– activities that are not work-oriented or that do not involve life
maintenance tasks such as housecleaning or sleeping.
Play
Play is an imaginative, intrinsically motivated, non-serious, freely
chosen, and actively engaging activity.
Recreation
Recreation is an activity that people engage in during their free
time, that people enjoy, and that people recognize as having
socially redeeming values and generates a general sense of well-
being.
Benefits of Recreational Activities:
• enhances personal growth
• helps to build self-esteem and confidence
• reduces tension and anxiety
• encourages spiritual renewal and personal growth
• increases mental relaxation
• generates a general sense of well being
• teaches positive conflict resolution skills
• provides alternatives to self-destructive behaviors
Having fun is not the ONLY reason to engage in recreational activities!
Understanding the recreation benefits is an essential component in building your
character and personality.
Are you ready to enjoy and be challenged with fitness and recreational activities
in the succeeding lessons? Be prepared physically, mentally, socially and emotionally.
Part II: WHAT TO PROCESS
Welcome to the WHAT TO PROCESS part of your
lesson! You will be performing active and fun recreational
activities to enhance your fitness level and skills, and to enjoy
the many benefits of engaging in regular physical activities.
As you go on and overcome the challenges that you will face,
you will learn that recreational activities are not just a fun
and exciting part of your routine but it offers an opportunity
to improve your fitness and enhance your social skills. So, what are you waiting for,
start having fun and be challenged with the activities in this lesson! Stay fit and active
all the time!

71
How much is enough in exercise or physical activity? Are you doing the right
amount? Do you know if it is the right kind for you? Exercise or physical activity can
be compared to a medical prescription. As you plan for your workout, you should know
the correct dosage: how often you work out; how hard you work out; length of time you
work out; and the type of activity or exercise you do. You will encounter all these in this
lesson so you could be assured of an effective, safe, and active recreation and fitness
program.
Let us start with these exercise principles.
The Good Dose of Exercise
You should increase the dose or amount of physical activity or exercise to see
changes in your fitness level. This is the overload principle, which is guided by the
FITT Principle that is composed of the following:
a. Frequency refers to how often you involve yourself in regular physical
activity or exercise.
b. Intensity refers to how hard you should exercise or the level of difficulty
of your physical activity.
c. Time refers to how long you should engage in a specific physical activity.
d. Type refers to the kind of exercise or physical activity you should
engage in.
Now, that you are guided with the FITT principle in your fitness activities, let’s get
started!
Getting Ready for the Activity!
• Wear appropriate attire such as rubber shoes, socks, t-shirts, shorts, and
jogging pants.
• Warm up first before performing the different fitness tests and physical activities.
• Follow the buddy system in performing the fitness activities. The buddy system
is a partnership between the person doing the test and the person administering
the test.
• Check the availability and accessibility of the equipment to be used for the
fitness tests.
• Make sure that the facility is safe for the administration of the test.
Let’s Warm-up and Stretch the Body!
1. Perform the following warm-up and stretching exercises to prepare the
body.
2. Use an upbeat music to be more motivated.
e. Jog around the gym or field
for 5 minutes.
f. Neck Rotation Exercises
g. Isometric Neck Exercises
h. Chin Tuck
i. Upper Trapezius Stretch
j. Lateral Arm Stretch
k. Tricep Stretch
l. Calf-Muscle Stretch
m. Hamstring Stretch
n. Inner Thigh Stretch
o. Buttocks Stretch
p. Lower Back Stretch
q. Pelvic Tilt

Activity 1: LISTEN TO YOUR HEART!
Most of the physical activities and exercises involve the heart and the lungs. It
is necessary to monitor how your heart is doing especially during a vigorous workout.
I. Objective:
To determine your resting heart rate and your maximum heart rate
II. Materials:
• pen
• stopwatch
• calculator
III. Procedure:
1. To get your resting heart rate
Purpose: To set the base or standard for evaluation purposes
Directions: The best time to get it is when you wake up in the morning.
Locate your radial, temporal, femoral (groin), or carotid artery with your
index and middle finger. Take the rate within 15 seconds and multiply this
by 4 to complete the 1 minute requirement. Record this.
2. To get your maximum heart rate (MHR)
Purpose: To determine the highest rate your heart is capable of attaining
Directions: Subtract your age from 220.
Example: If you are 16 years old, your maximum heart rate is (220-16) =
204 bpm
3. To get your target heart rate zone
Purpose: To determine your aerobic intensity according to a straight
percentage of your maximum heart rate, usually within 60 to 90%
Directions: Get the maximum heart rate. Multiply it by 60% (0.60) to get the
lower limit. Multiply by 90% (0.90) to get the upper limit. Record your target
heart rate zone.
Example:
• If you are 16 years old, your MHR is 204 bpm.
• Determine the lower limit.
(204 x 0.6) = 122.4 beat per minute
• Determine the upper limit.
(204 x 0.9) = 183.6 beats per minute
• Thus your target heart rate for training is between 122.4 to 183.6
beats per minute.
Types Beats per Minute (bpm) Date
1. Resting Heart Rate
2. Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)
3. Target Heart Rate Zone
What did you notice about your heart rates? Do you think it is necessary to
learn how to estimate these types of heart rate? Why?

73
Activity 2: PHYSICAL FITNESS ASSESSMENT
Do you have an idea of your present level of physical fitness? Evaluation of
your current fitness level is important because it gives you important data on the areas
to be improved or enhanced. This allows setting reasonable fitness goals and planning
not only suitable but enjoyable physical activities as well.
I. Objective:
To assess your performance in the different fitness tests

Frequently Asked Questions:
How does walking compare to running?
Walking can provide you the same benefits as a running program. General
health benefits are acquired from walking. For cardiovascular benefits, the key is
walking fast enough to get your heart rate up.
What should I look for in walking shoes?
• low heels
• flexible sole
• lightweight and breathable fabric
• great fit
How can I prevent shin pain?
Painful or aching shins are very common for new walkers. It can also be a
problem when increasing speed or distance.
To avoid aching shins:
• increase speed and distance gradually
• wear good, flexible, walking shoes with a low heel
• perform ankle circles and toe points before and after your walks
• stretch your calves and shins well after your walk.
How many calories are burned when walking one mile?
An average 100 calories per mile. It varies depending on the individual, speed,
terrain, etc.
What should I eat before doing a walking activity?
Eat something high in carbohydrates, whole grain cereal, whole wheat bread, and
banana. Do not eat anything heavy, fatty, or that might upset your stomach (this will
be different for each individual). Whatever you eat should be something you have
previously tried so you know how you react to it. Be sure to drink water during and
after the walk.
Now that you already know the many benefits of walking, start your walking program
with your friends. The walking program below will help you increase your stamina and
will strengthen your heart. Start your one month fitness walking routine now!

Week 1 Walk 5 min. Walk briskly 5 min. Walk 5 min. 15 min.
Week 5 and on: Check your pulse periodically to see if you are exercising within your
target heart rate. As you become more fit, try exercising within the upper range of your
target heart rate. Gradually increase your brisk walking time to 20-30 minutes, 3-4 times
a week. Remember that your goal is to get the benefits you are seeking and to enjoy your
activity.
Tips to Enjoy your Walking Routine
• Pass the talk test. If you can’t talk while walking, you are exercising too
hard. Slow down.
• Walk before you run. Starting a running program might be painful, and
pain is no fun. Become a walker first. Condition your body with a low-impact
activity and later on you will be better prepared for higher-impact exercises
such as running.
• Wear bright clothing. Strive to be seen, not part of an accident scene.
• Warm-up before you walk and cool-down after.
• Change your route. Explore other walking trails or route in your vicinity.
• Listen while you walk. Listen to your favorite music while walking to be
motivated to finish. You can use an electronic device to play music.
• Walk with a friend. Invite a friend or a family member to join your fitness
walking.
• Meditation or prayer. Use your walking time to meditate or pray.
• Join a walking club. Plan attending a big walking event like “Walk for a
Cause” to add some excitement and variety to your walking.
• Crosstrain. Alternate walking days with biking, swimming, playing badminton
or other exercise to maintain a healthy heart.

and in your community.
Let’s Build Strength through Muscle Exercise
The benefits of strength training for young teenagers like you lead to increase
muscle strength and endurance, power and muscle tone - all of which help to improve
and maintain your functional physical capacity to perform your daily tasks easily.
Strength is a basic health-related fitness component and is an important wellness
component for optimal performance in your daily activities such as sitting, walking,
running, lifting, doing school and house work, and enjoying recreational activities.

81
As you prepare to design your own basic strength-training program, keep the following
guidelines in mind:
Exercise Safety Guidelines
1. Select exercises that will involve all major muscle groups: chest, shoulders,
back, legs, arms, hip, and trunk.
2. Select exercises that will strengthen the core. Use controlled movements
and start with the light-to moderate resistance.
3. Never lift weights alone. Always have someone work out with you in case
you need a spotter or help with an injury.
4. Warm-up properly before performing a light-to moderate intensity aerobic
activity (5 to 7 minutes) and some gentle stretches for a few minutes.
5. Maintain proper body balance that involves good posture, a stable body
position and correct posture in sitting, lying and other exercise positions.
6. Breathe naturally. Inhale during the eccentric phase (bringing the weight
down) and exhale during the concentric phase (lifting or pushing the weight
up).
7. At the end of each strength-training workout, stretch out for a few minutes
to help your muscles return to their normal resting length and to minimize
muscle soreness and risk of injury.
