The FITT Formula

Principles of Progression
Warning: Continual use of the FITT Formula will be of great benefit to your health!
FITT FORMULA! Is that E=MC2?
Is this Rocket Science? Principles of Overload? Principles of Progression?
How am I to Remember all this? Cardio-respiratory Endurance Muscular Strength Muscular Endurance Flexibility Body Composition FITT Matrix
It’s not rocket science, but it is very important to your health!
Are you ready to learn? It helps you pick what exercises to do, how often, how hard, and how long to do them.
It’s Pretty. Pretty confusing!
Not really! Let’s look at just one part of the FITT Matrix. What does FITT Stand for?
Which Means HOW OFTEN F stands for FREQUENCY
Which means HOW HARD I stands for INTENSITY
Which means HOW LONG T stands for TIME
Which means Specific Activity T stands for TYPE
Alright, let’s see how the FITT Formula can help us exercise.
Cardio-respiratory Endurance
Is the ability of the heart, lungs and muscles to perform for a long time.
DEFINED AS: THE ABILITY OF THE HEART, LUNGS, MUSCLES TO PERFORM ACTIVITY OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME
Frequency ( How Often ) At Least 3 times Per week
Intensity ( How Hard ) Measured by Target Heart Rate
Time ( How Long ) 20 minutes in the target heart zone
that targets the body parts that will be exercised! Before doing any physical activity you should do a warm-up…
Stretching to loosen up the muscles and joints… then a slow to brisk walk to get the heart and lungs pumping is great before running!
Type ( Specific Physical Activity ) Running
