FITT • Frequency • Aerobically active every day • 60 minutes of exercise per day; 225 minutes per week
Intensity • Target heart rate- the range your heart rate should be in during aerobic exercise or activity for maximum cardiorespiratory endurance • 60 to 90 percent
Time • Just starting it should be 20 to 30 minutes per session. • 30 to 40 minutes per session with better levels of fitness. • Type • Aerobic activities are those that are rhythmic, continuous, and use large muscle groups.
Selecting equipment • Intended use • Cost • Space • Accessibility • Safety • Service
