1. F . I . T . T . Principle
The basic philosophy of what is necessary to gain a training effect from an exercise program.

2. F.I.T.T. Principle
F.I.T.T. stands for:
Frequency
Intensity
Type
Time

3. F.I.T.T. Principle
We will apply these concepts to the two types of training, Cardio respiratory Training and Resistance Training.
Please keep in mind these are general guidelines for individuals of low to moderate fitness levels.
Use these guidelines to establish a program that fits you best.

4. Frequency (HOW OFTEN) Exercise a minimum of 3 times per week.
When you exercise, it should be at least 60 minutes.
Anything over 5 times a week really does nothing for you.

5. Intensity (HOW HARD)
You must maintain your heart rate in the Target Heart Rate for the required time to gain benefits.
As we’ve discussed before, your Target Heart Rate is determined by your fitness level and age. 
For a quick review, let’s look over this chart.

6. Time (HOW LONG)
It is necessary to maintain your proper intensity (target heart rate) for a time that will benefit you.
Low Fitness individuals should maintain their heart rates in their target zone for a minimum of 12 to 15 minutes. 

7. Type (WHAT KIND)
Choose an exercise that will involve as much pf the body or the larger muscle groups such as the legs and/or the back.
Make sure the exercise is of a dynamic contracting nature that involves movement.
The exercise should be rhythmic to allow a consistent intensity.
