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 different muscles every day. 2) I put 100% of work into my lifting program and always have a goal before I enter a weight room. 3) My workouts last for an hour of non stop lifting. 4) Strength with free weights, flexibility,back workouts, just trying to break down muscle tissue as fast as I can and recover soo I surpass my goal the next time I lift. - Zach Latter
i work out 4-5 times a week
my workout last any where from 45 mins to 1 and a half. i try to keep the intensity as high as possible some excersizes are easier to keep high intensity like ply pushups or jump squats otheres like the squat or dead lift require a little more time in between sets. The workouts i do are the big four bench squat deadlift power clean. Then ill do some auxilary lifts off of the big four like dumb bell press leg curls back extenstions. i also like to incorporate alot of explosion excesives like box jumps or plyo push ups on the busha ball. Then bllance a nd core work.

I work out six times a week. Usually I want to put in the best effort. My workouts last at around 45 minutes. I have lacrosse six times a week. This class and i workout the days i don't have lacrosse. Usually, i bench press, push ups, flys, so that involves arm movement. Squatting, push press, push jerk, dead lift involve leg movement and explosion up and down.

1) Excluding time in class, I work out everyday except Sunday either lifting weights or running, so 6 days a week
2)During class, even though I use full strength, it's moderate on the intensity scale except for metcon days. Track intensity depending on the workout is 70%-100%. On my own, I am usually moderate.
3)My workouts last anywhere from 30 minutes to about 75 minutes.
4)I try to work everything I can, so I incorporate anaerobic (weights) and aerobic (track), cardiovascular and strength. Endurance is more of a Friday thing.

I usually work out almost everyday except for Sunday and work on many things.When working out I usually put in about 50% to start out with but depending on how sore I am that day I will mostly end up doing 85% towards the end of the workout to finish strong.During the weekddays my workouts last for about 30-45 minutes but on Saturday I work out for 1 hour,sometimes 1hr 30 minutes.When I work out I usually do squats to help with my speed,curls,bench pressing,but lately I have been doing dumbell rows b/c that has really been an effective workout.
i cant work out because my arm but when i did i worked out days a week and would put at least 75% intensity into my workout. my work outs last from 30 minutes to 1 hr When i work out i do bench push press power cleans squats rows and cardiovascular activity's

-brett barkley
1) I work out almost every day
2) When lifting, I try to regulate the intensity of my workout so that I almost fail on my last rep and can't do any more reps for a while. If it is a cardiovascular exercise I set a time goal for myself and do my best to beat it
3) My workouts last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour
4) Usually lifting weights, jogging, or doing a body-weight type of exercise
