You should be physically active on a daily basis! You should engage in three or more sessions per week of activities that last at least 20 minutes and require moderate to vigorous levels of exertion.
4
FITT Principle ◦ Frequency – how often you work ◦ Intensity – how hard you work ◦ Time – the length of time you work ◦ Type – the specific type of activity you chose
5
Type of Activity Frequency for Beginners Frequency for Average-High Level Fitness Cardiovascular Conditioning 3 – 5 days per week4 – 6 days per week Weight Training 2 – 3 days per week3 – 5 days per week Overload Principle – states that in order to improve your level of fitness, you must increase the amount of regular activity or exercise that you normally do.

Maximum Heart Rate = 220 – age Cardiovascular benefits occur at 60% - 80% of maximum heart rate No heart rate monitor? Take your pulse! Talk Test ◦ Light intensity – able to tell a story without pausing ◦ Moderate intensity – able to talk but with disjointed speech ◦ High intensity - unable to talk
7
Time Time Type of Activity Frequency for Beginners Frequency for Average-High Level Fitness Cardiovascular Conditioning 20-30 minutes35 minutes to 1 hour Weight Training 20-30 minutes45 minutes to 1 hour You many accumulate your minutes in one, continuous workout or you may choose to work out in two or three shorter intervals per day. Weight loss is best accomplished by working longer at a lower intensity.

Warm-up ◦ 5-10 minutes ◦ Light stretching & plyometrics Workout ◦ 20-60 minutes Cool-down ◦ 5-10 minutes ◦ Stretch = most flexibility benefit ◦ Do NOT sit down! Bring heart rate down gradually
