FITT stands for:

  • Frequency: How often you exercise
  • Intensity: How hard your workout will be
  • Type: What kind of exercises you will do
  • Time: How long your workout will last

Strength training FITT guidelines:

  • Frequency: Aim for two times per week, with atleast one day of rest between strength training sessions. (Strengthtraining can be done on cardiovascular aerobic exercise, or“cardio,” days.)
  • Intensity: Start with lower weights, workingup to the heaviest weight you can lift for the entire set; aim formuscle exhaustion, which occurs when it is not possible to do evenone more repetition with good form because the muscle is tootired.
  • Time: Perform each strength training exercisefor 8 to 15 repetitions, which equals one set. Do 1 to 2 sets foreach muscle group (biceps, triceps, chest, back, quads, hamstrings,etc.).
  • Type: lifting free weights, weight machines,sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, leg squats, leg lunges, etc.

A well rounded fitness routine includes cardiovascular exercise,strength training exercises, and flexibility exercises.

  • Strength training exercises consist of using free weights,weight machines, or doing callisthenic exercises such as push-upsor sit-ups. These exercises build strength and endurance in themuscles and joints.
