Fitour Group Exercise questions and
answers
Define Group Resistance Training and provide examples: ✔✔A Class format that incorporates
hand weights (dumbbells), weighted plated bars, body bars, body bars, tubing, exercise bands,
etc. and is designed to develop muscular strength, endurance and/or definition.
A typical Group Resistance Training Class will train the entire body to music Each specific muscle
group is trained for the length of one song (approx. 5 min each) one-minute break between
songs or muscle groups to allow participants to change the resistance load.
Define Core Conditioning and provide examples: ✔✔All the muscles in your abdominal and
lower back areas.
Define Water exercise and provide examples: ✔✔Water exercise pose an extremely low risk of
injury, while providing an opportunity to improve cardiovascular endurance, increase muscular
strength, decrease body weight and improve overall fitness levels.
Explain how you teach Flexibility and provide examples: ✔✔The ability to move a muscle or
joint through its full range of motion without discomfort or pain.
Frequency: At least 3 days/week or after every workout.
Stretch all major muscles to the point of mild discomfort.
Hold each stretch 15-30 seconds/repeat each stretch 3-5 sets. Avoid bouncing.What is the
definition of Group Exercise? ✔✔An exercise format that incorporates several different
modalities of exercise that is thought in a group setting by one or more professionally trained

Physical Fitness: ✔✔An improved physiological state that leads to improved health and
longevity. A set of attributes that people have or can achieve relating to their ability to perform
physical activities.
, Physical Fitness can be divided into 4 categories: ✔✔Physicological-Related, Health-Related,
Skill-Related and Sport- Related.
Physiological Related:
Metabolic Fitness
Morphological Fitness
Bone Integrity ✔✔Includes non-performance components of physical fitness that relate to
biological systems that are influenced by one's level of habitual physical activity.
Metabolic Fitness: ✔✔The state of metabolic systems and variables predictive of the risk for
diabetes and cardiovascular disease (blood sugars, blood lipids, etc.) which can be favorably
altered by increased physical activity or regular endurance exercise.
Morphological Fitness: ✔✔A non-performance component of fitness related to body
composition factors such as body circumference , body fat content, and original body fat
distribution.
Bone Integrity: ✔✔A non- performance component of fitness related to bone mineral density.
Health-Related: ✔✔Consists on those components of physical fitness that have a relationship
with good health.
