Lesson Proper
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
World Health Organization (WHO) defines physical activity as
any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy
expenditure. Physical activity refers to all movement including during
leisure time, for transport to get to and from places, or as part of a
person’s work. Both moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity
improve health. Popular ways to be active that can be done at any level
of skill and for enjoyment by everybody are walking, cycling, sports ,
active recreation and play (World Health Organization,2022).
Regular physical activity is proven to help prevent and manage
non-communicable diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and
several cancers. It also helps prevent hypertension, maintain healthy
body weight and can improve mental health, quality of life and well-
being (World Health Organization (October 5, 2022).
This pyramid
illustrates several
forms of exercise
and physical
activity that
support people’s
optimal
development of
health, well-being,
and physical
fitness. (Camadador
et.al, 2022).

Simply expressed, at least 60-90 minutes of moderate exercise should
be included in the daily activities at the base of the pyramid almost
every day. You can consider having an active lifestyle if you engage in
activities like cleaning the home, gardening, climbing stairs, and playing
sports like pickleball and larong pinoy games.
On the second level, it is advised to have a moderate intensity program
of 20 to 60 minutes, three to five days a week, if you choose to engage
in cardiorespiratory activities such brisk walking, dancing, jogging,
biking, and other aerobic activity.
The third level includes strength and flexibility exercises, and it is
advised that you work out every two to three days a week. When
creating the program, exercise principles should be carefully taken into
account. Yoga, martial arts, weight exercises, and resistance training are
a few of the routines. The tasks that should be completed in the fewest
possible minutes are listed first. Since they increase the risk of
developing non-communicable illnesses including diabetes, heart
disease, and stroke, sedentary habits ought to be avoided.
EXERCISE is a subset of physical activity that is planned, structured,
and repetitive and has as a final or an intermediate objective the
improvement or maintenance of physical fitness (Caspersen et, Al.,
2023)
Types of Exercises
There are 4 most important type of exercise you should be develop to
have more benefits in your desired fitness level (Medical West, 2023).
1. FLEXIBILITY EXERCISES “STRETCHING EXERCISE”
The purpose of flexibility exercises is to stretch your
muscles and help your body stay limber. This allows for
more freedom of movement for other exercises and for
everyday activities. Flexibility exercises also have the
ability to improve your range of motion, posture, ability to
breathe deeply, and circulation. Also, it alleviates the

STRETCHING
Stretching is a physical exercise that requires putting a body part in a
certain position that'll serve in the lengthening and elongation of the muscle or
muscle group and thus enhance its flexibility and elasticity. Stretching
exercises have traditionally been included as part of the training and recovery
program. It's important to note that, maximal strength, number of repetitions
and total volume is different for each type of stretching.
TYPES OF STRETCHING
There are various stretching techniques, but three main methods have proven
effective.
1. STATIC STRETCHING is the most practiced stretching method.
Because its purpose is to maintain the body in good physical form, static
stretching is more appropriate for beginners and people who are not
very active. Static stretching relies on basic stretching movements and
muscle contractions. These exercises, performed slowly over time, help
you discover your deep (postur-al) muscles. They allow you to work your
entire body while increasing awareness of your flexibility. Muscles are
lengthened using bending, extending, or twisting positions. These
stretches must be done slowly so that the antagonistic muscles are not
stimulated. Once you are comfortable in a stretched position, you hold
the position for about 15 to 20 seconds to relax, lengthen, and
oxygenate the muscle fibers.

2. DYNAMIC STRETCHING is often recommended in athletic training
programs. It increases energy and power because it acts on the
elasticity of muscles and tendons. It relies on swinging movements done
with a certain amount of speed. The technique consists of swinging the
legs or arms in a specific direction in a controlled manner without
bouncing or jerky movements. The agonist muscle contracts rapidly,
which lengthens the antagonist muscle, thereby stretching it.
Try these seven dynamic stretches that can help you warm up
before your next workout (Melone, 2023).
1. Hip Circles. Stand on one leg, using a countertop
for support, and gently swing the opposite leg in
circles out to the side. Do 20 circles in each
direction. Switch legs. Progressively increase the
size of the circles as you become more flexible.
2. Arm Circles. Stand with feet shoulder-width
apart and hold arms out to
the sides, palms down, at
shoulder height. Move your
arms in circles 20 times in
each direction.
Progressively increase
the size of the circles as
you become more
flexible.
2. Arm Swings. Stand with arms outstretched forward, parallel to the floor
with palms facing down. As you
step forward, swing your arms in
unison to the right so your left arm
is in front of your chest and fingers
point to the right. Keep torso and
head facing forward; move only at
the shoulders. Swing amrs in the
opposite direction as you step
again. Repeat five times on each
side.

4.High-Stepping. Stand with your feet parallel and shoulder-width apart.
Step forward with the left leg and raise
the right knee high toward your chest
(use a wall for balance, if needed). Use
both hands (or one, if using the other for
balance) to pull the knee up farther.
Pause and lower right leg, then repeat on
the other side. Continue "high-stepping"
five times on each leg as you walk
forward.
5. Heel-to-Toe Walk. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Take a small
step forward, placing your right heel on
the ground and rolling forward onto the
ball of your foot. Rise as high as possible
on your toes, while bringing the left foot
forward and stepping in the same heel-
to-toe roll. Repeat five times on each
leg.
6. Lunges with a Twist. Stand with feet parallel, then take an
exaggerated step forward (keep
one hand on a wall for balance, if
needed) with your right foot,
planting it fully on the floor in front
of you. Allow the knee and hip to
bend slowly while keeping your
torso upright. Keep right knee
directly over ankle – do not allow it
to go beyond your toes. Slightly
bend your left knee, lowering it
until it is a couple of inches above
the floor (or as far as flexibility
allows). In this position, reach
overhead (skip the overhead reach

if your shoulders are compromised) with your left arm and bend torso
toward the right. Return your torso to an upright position, and step
forward with the left foot, back to starting position. Repeat five times on
each side. (Note: Do not attempt this if you have trouble with balance.)
3. PNF STRETCHING stands for proprioceptive neuromuscular
facilitation. The PNF stretching technique is widely used in reeducation
therapy. PNF stretching involves four steps:
1. Gradually stretch a muscle to its maximum.
2. Perform an isometric contraction for about 15 to 20 seconds (while still in
the lengthened position).
3. Relax the muscle for about 5 seconds.
4. Restretch that same muscle for about 30 seconds.

2. BALANCE EXERCISES
Completing balance exercises helps prevent falls. These
exercises are especially important to older adults because
it helps them stay independent. Most good balance
exercises that can help maintain balance are ones that
keep you constantly moving with your feet on the ground.
Examples of balance exercises are heel-to-toe walking,

YOGA EXERCISES
Yoga is an ancient Indian practice that permits the body and mind
together and is built on three main elements – movement, breathing and
meditation. Yoga has many physical and mental health benefits
including improved posture, flexibility, strength, balance and body
awareness.

knees, palms up. Keep your spine as straight as you can. Push the bones you’re
sitting on down into the floor — your “sit bones” in yoga-speak. Close your eyes
and inhale.
Cat-Cow (Bitilasana) to Awaken the Spine and Ease Back Pain
How: Get on your mat on all
fours with your hands directly
below your shoulders and your
knees directly below your hips.
Distribute your weight equally
between your hands and spread
your fingers wide. Inhale and
round your back, arching it up as
you lower your chin to your
chest; feel the stretch from your
neck to your tailbone, like a cat.
As you exhale, lower your back
down all the way to a scoop shape as you lift your head, and tilt it back.
Inverted Yoga Pose -Bridge Pose (Setu Bandha Sarvangasana)
An upward-facing mild inversion,
Bridge Pose strengthens the legs and
glutes as it stretches the hip flexors
and quadriceps.
How: Lie on your back, with your
knees bent, and your feet positioned
hip-width apart. Lengthen your arms
alongside the body and press your feet
into the floor as you engage your
glutes and lift your hips up. Pro tip: To
keep your knees from splaying apart,
you may place a yoga block in between your thighs.
Standing Backbend
How: Start in Tadasana, Mountain Pose,
your feet firmly rooted and hip-width
apart. Engage your legs and draw your
kneecaps up. Inhale and reach your arms
up overhead in prayer (Anjali Mudra).
Trace your gaze up towards the ceiling,
exhale, and reach your arms up and
backward, opening your chest. Continue
breathing fully, make sure there is no

pinching sensation in your spine, and keep all four corners of your feet firmly
rooted.
Standing Forward Bend to intense bending of the hips and creates a
very flexible body.
How: Start in the standing position or
Tadasana. Place the hands on the hips.
Take a full breath and expand your chest.
Slowly exhale and fold over the hips and
bend forward. Keep the torso and head in
one line. At this stage the upper body will
be perpendicular to the legs. Now bend
further and try to place the hands on the
floor on the side of the legs. If you are not
able to touch the floor with the hands, do
not strain. Just go as far as you can without pain. Make sure you do not bend
the knees while performing this asana. Advanced practitioners can bring the
head to rest between the thighs and the hands can clasp the ankles. Maintain
this position for as long as you are comfortable. To release the position, inhale
and bring back the hands to the hips and raise yourself up to the standing
position.
Mountain Pose
How: Stand with your toes together and heels
slightly apart. Spread your toes and place
your weight evenly through both feet. Engage
your core and tuck your hips under a bit so
your tailbone is pointing down toward the
floor. Relax your shoulders and roll them back
and down.Inhale and reach your arms
overhead, while pressing down into your feet.
You may also put your hands in prayer
position in front of your chest, or rest them by
your sides—all are commonly used variations,
and your instructor may cue one specifically
or give you the choice. Take long, slow, deep
breaths in and out of your nose. Hold for 3–5
breaths. "Keep your arms parallel with your ears,"
Warrior 1 Pose - Virabhadrasana 1 — heart-opening pose that expands

keep both heels on the same line.
Stretch your arms horizontally towards
the front and back of the room and
look over your front fingertips. Inhale to
lengthen your spine and engage your
core. Bend your front knee. Aim to have your thigh parallel to the ground so
that your knee forms a 90-degree angle. More importantly, make sure your
knee doesn’t go further than your front toes. Engage your quads to strengthen
your foundation and allow your hips to settle a little lower.
PILATES EXERCISES
Pilates is a low impact exercise comprising controlled movements
that enhance your balance, core strength, mobility, flexibility, and even
mood. It focuses on the smaller and deeper muscles that support your
structure and enhance your overall health.
1. Pelvic Curl
How:
1. Start by laying on your back, with
knees bent. Knees and heels are
about sit- bone distance apart. Arms
are long, and pressing into the mat
beside your hips.
2. Inhale pause, then exhale: Engage
your low abdominals, drawing your
pelvis underneath you. The goal is to tuck your pelvis without the use of
your glutes. You want your low back to feel light as a feather when it
touches the mat. Begin to engage your glutes, and articulate through the
spine, the hips moving upward until your body is in a straight line between
knees and shoulder blades.
3. Inhale pause, breathing through your ribs. Find stability through your center
and down into arms and legs. Exhale, and begin to drop your sternum —
melting into the mat one vertebrae at a time. If you notice your lumbar (low
back) is tight, or have a hard time articulating, tap into your low abdominal curl

pause, breathing through the ribs; Exhale to lower back to the mat.
3. Chest Lift with Rotation
How:
1. Inhale prepare and exhale to bring
yourself into your Chest Lift Position.

Exhale and rotate to the right. Thinking
of lifting your left rib up and across to
your right hip. Focus your eyes on the
outside of the knee.
2. Inhale back to center, and repeat lifting up and across to the left side. Move
your head, shoulders, and chest as one unit. Think of making an arc with your
midsection, rather than a side bend. Do your best to keep your pelvis stable.
4. Spine Twist Supine
How:
1. Lying on your back, arms in a T
position, palms facing up; Bring your
legs one at a time into tabletop —
knees stacked over your hip joint,

How:
1. Start by kneeling on hands and
knees; stacking your wrists, elbows,
and shoulders; and knees hip width
apart and directly under your hips.
Press your shins and the tops of your
feet into the mat. If you notice it’s
uncomfortable on your feet, you’re
welcome to place a small blanket under
them. Begin by reaching your right leg behind you, pushing your toes/ball of
the foot into the floor. Draw your leg back in to All-Fours, switch sides.
2. Once you feel your wrists are prepped, you are ready to progress by adding
a single leg lift for some glute work.. To challenge your core stability, add the

you begin to feel more confident in your head lift, add some height through
your Baby Swan. Inhale and lift:. Exhale, return to the mat.
3. ENDURANCE EXERCISE “AEROBIC EXERCISE” OR “CARDIO EXERCISE”
It increases your breathing and heart rate. By doing
endurance exercises, you are working to keep your heart,
lungs, and circulatory system healthy while improving
your total fitness. Over time your endurance level will
increase which will make everyday activities seem easier.
Examples of endurance activities are: ZUMBA EXERCISES,

your-life
4. STRENGTH EXERCISE “STRENGTH TRAINING” OR “RESISTANCE TRAINING”
OR “ANAEROBIC EXERCISE”
It develops your muscles and strengthens your bone. By
doing strength exercises, even the slightest increase in
strength can make a huge difference in your ability to carry
out everyday tasks. Developing strong muscles and bones
can reduce your risk of weak bones and slouching. Examples
