“Muscle Building: Designing an Effective Exercise Program for Improved Strength and Endurance”

Discussion Board: Muscular System
Instructions
Muscles in Motion:
Imagine you are a personal trainer designing an exercise program for a client who wants to improve their overall muscle strength and endurance.
• Choose one muscle group (e.g., quadriceps, biceps, etc.) and describe a series of exercises that target that muscle group.
• In your response, explain the function of each exercise and how it specifically targets the muscles in that group.
• Name the prime mover (agonist) muscle in the group and describe the origin, insertion, and action of the muscle. Then list one synergist and one antagonist muscle.
• Reflect on the importance of muscle strength and endurance in overall health and wellness, and how your exercise plan can help your client achieve their fitness goals.
• Be sure to use your own words and avoid simply copying and pasting information from external sources. Instead, draw on your understanding of anatomy and physiology to craft a unique and personalized exercise plan that is tailored to your client’s needs.
• After reading the chapter, notes, and watching all the videos in the module, in your initial post, ask your peers 1 clarifying question about what you have not understood in this module. Be specific with the questions.
• In your 2 reply posts please try and answer your instructor’s or your classmates’ clarifying questions.
