Bad Blood Pressure - ANS-Hypertension= 140/90
normal blood pressure - ANS-120/80
140 - ANS-systolic It is specifically the maximum arterial pressure during contraction of
the left ventricle of the heart.
90 - ANS-Diastolic- relating to the phase of the heartbeat when the heart muscle relaxes
and allows the chambers to fill with blood.

4/5 or or 80% - ANS-of people have lower back pain
SWOT analysis - ANS-strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats
4P's of marketing - ANS-Product, Price, Place, Promotion
2.0 CEU's - ANS-Is required to renewal NASM (.19 from CEUS and .1 CPR)
Amotivation - ANS-Describes when someone is not motivated to engage
extrinsic motivation - ANS-reward/ recognition
,intristic motivation - ANS-YOU feel a sense of satisfaction (They will when they feel
competent or a sense of belonging or a sense of autonomy/ control)
Stages of change - ANS-Pre= no plan to exercise, Contemplation= planning to in 6
months, Preparation= works out but not regularly, Action= Exercising regularly but not 6
months, Maintenance+ 6+ months of exercise. Termination= Never going back
specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely - ANS-GOALS
