Time – how long you work out at each session.

Type – which activities you select.

· Frequency exercise 3-5 times per week

· Intensity – how hard you are working your heart

· Time – 20-60 minutes each time

Type – any aerobic activity

 

FITT Principle for Flexibility

· Frequency – daily stretching

Intensity – stretch muscles and hold beyond its normal length at a comfortable

          stretch (it should NEVER hurt)

Time – hold stretch for 10-15 seconds with the stretching workout lasting 15-30

          minutes

· Type – use stretches that allow the body to move through the full range of motion
