Muscles Endurance is how long you can last under a certain amount of pressure or strain. Muscle Strength is how much power or strength you have when performing exercises or sports.

• Describe the difference between cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance.

When you perform aerobic exercises it specifically burns fat and calories in specific places, and strengthens your core. When you perform muscular endurance exercises it generally just burns calories and fat, and strengthens your endurance.

• Describe relative endurance.

It is the number of times you can move a designated percentage of your maximum strength.

• Read the "Did You Know" section of the article. Based on this, why should you not go out and try everything you read on the internet? What filter should you use to evaluate different exercise routines, etc?

Because some exercises can actually make you slower when you perform some sports. So you have to spot and find exercises specific towards your sport or fitness goals.

• Are you more interested in participating in Muscular Strength or Muscular Endurance exercises? Why?

Both. Because in ballroom dance you need strength to do tricks and hard dance moves (kicks, spins, etc.) and you need endurance to last the length of the song.
