When you approach your personal trainer to begin a programme, one of the first questions they will ask is: whatt are your goals? This helps them to develop a programme specific to your needs. Even in the absence of a trainer, understanding your physical activity goals is important. Are you trying to lose weight? Maintain good health? Prepare for a fitness competition? Training programmes vary, depending on your objectives.
There are four main areas of exercise training – muscle strengthening, endurance, balance, and flexibility. When a programme is written for you, your personal exercise recipe draws from these four key ingredients with styles and quantities based on your objectives (also medical and activity backgrounds). When I write, I approach from a space of maintaining good health, unless otherwise stated.
Peloton Apologizes; Reverses Course; Will Recall Treadmills
Peloton announced a recall of its treadmills on Wednesday, reversing course just weeks after saying there was “no reason” to stop using the exercise machines despite reports of multiple injuries and the death of a child in an accident.
Chief Executive Officer John Foley also apologized for the company’s initial reaction to a report from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in April, which warned consumers about the dangers of Peloton’s Tread+ treadmills. The company had called the report “inaccurate and misleading.”
“I want to be clear, Peloton made a mistake in our initial response to the CPSC’s request that we recall the Tread+,” Foley said. “We should have engaged more productively with them from the outset. For that, I apologize.”

People with mesomorph body types tend to see big gains from strength and interval-type workouts. But longer cardio training is important, too.

How do you know if you have a mesomorphbody type? You might love Tabata and other high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts, but find long bouts of cardio arduous. You may naturally enjoy the weight room because that’s where your strengths no pun intended lie.
“A mesomorph is generally defined as someone who has a body type that has a high level of muscle and strength,” says Adam Feit, the head strength and sports psychology coach for Precision Nutrition in Springfield, Massachusetts. Now, perhaps you don’t have lots of muscle at the moment because you’ve been inactive for a while. But you know if you did start working out, you would gain muscle relatively easily.
