The Components:

Cardiovascular endurance refers to the ability of your heart and lungs to work together to fuel your body with oxygen.  Aerobic conditioning, like jogging, swimming and cycling, can help improve cardiovascular endurance. Muscle strength refers to the amount of force a muscle can exert, in a single effort. Exercises like the bench press, leg press or bicep curl might be used to measure muscle strength. Muscle endurance refers to the ability of a muscle to perform a continuous effort without fatiguing. Cycling, step machines and sit up tests are often used to measure muscular endurance. Flexibility refers to the ability of each joint to express its full range of motion. Flexibility can be tested by stretching individual muscles or by performing exercises such as the lunge or the sit and reach.

**********************************************************************************************                                                             Remember we warm-up to stretch, not stretch to warm up. Having said that, jump rope for 2 minutes before you start the stretching routine.
