Daily food intake results in kcalories available for body needs, including physical activity and exercise. Energy input in excess of energy utilization can lead to obesity. Physical activity can directly expend food kcalories as well as increase basal metabolism by increasing metabolically active muscle tissue. For this week’s module, incorporate one new exercise into your routine and try to do it at least twice. Explain:

Physical activity can directly expend food kcalories as well as increase basal metabolism by increasing metabolically active muscle tissue. For this week’s module, incorporate one new exercise into your routine and try to do it at least twice. Explain:

how the exercise is done (don’t assume we know!)

what kind of exercise is it (aerobic vs anaerobic/resistance vs cardio) and explain what that means and how that might matter
duration of the activity

body systems it impacts and how.

reasons you chose to try this exercise for your health/ what is your health goal for this physical activity?
