    BALANCED FITNESS While cardiovascular exercise has been the primary method of fitness for many programs over the years, it should not be the only method. Strength Training and Flexibility Training have become more popular as exercise has developed. Incorporating Strength and Flexibility Training into your current exercise program will give you the balance you need to improve your athletic performance, reduce susceptibility to injury, increase meta- bolic rate, increase bone density, and reach your goals faster.

    STRETCHING Flexibility Training is not associated with fitness as often as cardiovascu- lar exercise or Strength Training, even though it is just as important.

A flexible person will be less likely to injure themselves in common activities, such as reaching, twisting and turning, or in un- common activities such as the annual softball tournament.
