What comes out of your body when you exercise?
Adrenaline levels rise, which stimulates the heart to beat faster. Capillaries in the muscles open wider, increasing blood flow there by up to 20 times. The muscles of the ribcage assist the diaphragm to pull in up to 15 times more oxygen than at rest. Breathing gets faster but also deeper.
How does your body get rid of waste during exercise?
During exercise, two of the important organs of the body come into action: the heart and the lungs. The lungs bring oxygen into the body, to provide energy, and remove carbon dioxide, the waste product created when you produce energy. The heart pumps the oxygen to the muscles that are doing the exercise.
What will happen if you will start doing a strenuous exercise?
Benefits of vigorous exercise
- Higher calorie burn. According to the American Council on Exercise, working out at a higher intensity requires more oxygen, which burns more calories.
- More weight loss.
- Improved heart health.
- Improved mood.
- Lower risk of mortality.
What happens to your muscles when you lift weights?
When you lift weights, your muscles work together, and concentric and eccentric muscle contractions happen at the same time. As you lift the weight up toward your shoulder during an arm curl, your bicep muscle shortens (concentric muscle contraction) and your triceps lengthen (eccentric muscle contraction).
What are the fitness and health activities you want yourself to be engaged with?

- Dance party.
- Build your own workout.
- Frisbee.
- Catch and kick.

Is Dancing considered strenuous activity?
Some examples of moderate physical activities include: sweeping the floor, walking briskly, slow dancing, vacuuming, washing windows, shooting a basketball. Vigorous intensity activities are defined as activities ≥ 6 METS. Vigorous activities require the highest amount of oxygen consumption to complete the activity.
