Description

1. Max HR= 200 - (0.5) (68) 166 beats/minute 2. HRR= max HR- resting HR 166-85= 81 beats/minute 3. I would recommend a hard intensity because his HRR is 81 and that falls under hard which is an HRR of 60-84. I calculated his range which would be HRR x 0,60= 48.6 HRR x .84 = 68.04; rounded to 49-68. 4. Exercise heart rate= Intensity + resting HR ( 49 + 85); (68 + 85) 134- 153 beats/ minute 5. Harold is in the 3rd stage: Preparation. With this stage he is about to start exercising. With this I think he needs the extra push to really start and continue on his journey to termination (the last stage). He needs a gym partner or even better a personal trainer to keep him going. 6. Because Harold is older and is taking medications I would suggest stress tests. 7. ACSM recommends adults to exercise both strength and endurance. With this he should do 8-10 exercises for the major muscle groups. 8-12 repetitions of each exercise with a moderate speed. He should train 2-3 times a week but not consecutive days. For moderate weight loss he should exercise 150-250 minutes a week . 8. His torn meniscus in his knee could prevent him from doing certain exercises especially those involving his legs. 9. Harold could do bicycling, walking, jump rope, aerobic dancing, or maybe some jogging if his knee can take it.

Culture makes a big impact on what we eat. In some cultures it is common to serve big

plates of food with different kinds of food. Some cultures even consider it rude to not accept or eat everything that is served to you. I am hispanic, in my family we eat all three meals; breakfast, lunch and dinner. With those meals my mother likes to fill our plates. We’re pretty lucky that in our family we are all small by inheritance and are also very active therefore the amount of food that we eat does not affect us negatively as it would to many others. It is not just the amounts of food but also the types of food in a culture that can affect a person’s weight. Certain spanish countries like to eat a lot of fried foods some examples of this includes tostones, platanos, empanadas among many others. I know for a fact that most spanish cultures are known for eat a lot of food. This may be the reason why Hispanics are one of the cultures known for having problems with weight and many other problems that come along with them. According to CDC data ( http://www.cdc.gov/Features/dsObesityAdults/) Hispanics come in second after Blacks for highest obesity rates. With some cultures there also come certain events or holidays which play a role in how much food we eat. Thanksgiving is actually a great example to show that. In the United States, Thanksgiving is a day known for the great amount of food everyone eats. While we have that day other cultures have days where they feast or periods of time where they would fast. I have a friends who is muslim, she had a period of time in which she had to fast because of her religion. Things like these could play a big role in a person’s weight....
