Period 3 Weight Training Blog #5 FITT

What is the FITT Principle?
The FITT Principle (or formula) is a great way of monitoring your exercise program. The acronym FITT outlines the key components of an effective exercise program, and the initials F, I, T, T, stand for:
F - Frequency- (how often)5 to 6 times per week
I - Intensity - (how hard)Moderate to high
T - Time - (how long)Anywhere from 15 to 40 minutes
T – Type - (what kind)Just about anything that involves movement

Use the FITT principle to assess your current fitness program or lack thereof. List for me:
1. How often you workout?
2. How hard you are working out?
3. How long your workouts last?
4. What kinds of movement are you doing?

1) I work out almost everyday.
2) I push myself moderately, not too hard and not too easy on myself.
3) 30 minutes
4) I do push ups and sit ups which works out my pecks, triceps, and abdomen. Sit ups also work out my abs.
