FITT Principle of Exercise

🏋️‍♀️💪 As we have said before, fitness is all about progress, and the FITT principle is a great way to ensure that you're making the most of your workouts! Here's what it means, and how to use it:
F - Frequency: How often you exercise per week
I - Intensity: How hard you work during exercise
T - Time: How long each exercise session lasts
T - Type: What kind of exercise you do
📝 Here are some tips to help you apply the FITT principle to your workout routine:

• 🏋️‍♀️ Frequency: Refers to how often you exercise. Aim for at least 3-4 days a week of strength training, and 5-6 days a week of moderate-intensity cardio.
  🏋️‍♀️ Intensity: Refers to how hard you exercise. For strength training, as we have discussed before, choose a weight that allows you to complete 8-12 reps with good form. For cardio, aim for a moderate intensity where you can maintain a conversation but are still breathing harder than normal.
  🏋️‍♀️ Time: Refers to how long you exercise. For strength training, aim for 30-60 minutes per session, depending on your goals and fitness level. For cardio, aim for 30-60 minutes per session, or break it up into smaller sessions throughout the day.
  🏋️‍♀️ Type: Refers to the type of exercise you do. For strength training, focus on compound exercises that work multiple muscle groups, such as squats, lunges, push-ups, and pull-up.  For cardio, choose an activity that you enjoy and that gets your heart rate up, such as walking, running, cycling, or swimming.
  
  

🏋️‍♀️👍 Remember, consistency is key! Start slow and gradually work your way up to longer, more intense workouts as you build strength and endurance.
