Intervals - Exercise that alternates high intensity ("work") with easy or light intensity ("recovery"). Used by performance athletes for speed and endurance.

Calorie - a unit of measurement for the amount of energy that is released from food upon oxidation by the body

Basal metabolism (BMR) - the rate of energy used for metabolism when the body is at complete rest - closely related to the muscle mass. Usually measured by the amount of oxygen consumed. Acknowledged by experts to be difficult to measure accurately

Pectorals or "pecs" - the 2 pairs of muscles in the chest that work to pull the upper arms toward or across the chest. The pectoralis major covers the chest from the top of the arm to the collarbone, down to the sternum and upper 6 ribs. The smaller pectoralis minor is located underneath, and runs from mid- chest to shoulder blade

Warmup - Opposite of cooldown. A gradual speeding up for a few minutes when you start an activity. Lets your body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and muscles prepare.

Abductors - muscles of the hip that pull your legs apart. Gluteus medius and minimus pull your legs outward. You use these muscles when inline skating or skiing

Electrolytes - minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium that act to keep your nerves firing and muscles moving. These minerals are found in foods (potassium- bananas, meat) and modest amounts of electrolytes are a necessary component of a normal diet. Be careful of using sports drinks to replace minerals because of the added calories
