What are the five components to an exercise plan?

Coordination

Flexibility

Strength

Endurance

Recovery

Coordination, co-ordination is the regulation of diverse elements into an integrated and harmonious operation. Coordination means integrating or linking together different parts of the human body to accomplish a collective set of tasks.

Flexibility is the popular term for the ability to easily bend an object or the ability to adapt to different circumstances (positions).

Strength is referred to as the ability of a person to exert force on physical objects using muscles

Endurance or aerobic exercise consists of performing low- to medium-intensity exercise for very long periods of time. E.g., walking or running several miles to hundreds of miles; cycling dozens of miles to thousands of miles; swimming hundreds of yards to dozens of miles.Physical endurance is differentiated from other forms of physical stress in that in endurance exercise fatigue of the muscles and cardiovascular system do not force the effort to end. Not a maximal effort.

Recovery is the need for sleep, the buildup of non-recyclable waste chemicals, the depletion of convertible energy stores (carbohydrate, fat, and protein) and other needed chemicals (e.g., water, sodium),

physical injury, psychological failure, or attainment of the goal will bring the effort to an end

Understand the importance of self evaluation in order to reveal muscular imbalances.
