Have you been doing the same exercise for years? Then, you’re
probably wondering where are the results. Even if you experienced
a physical or mental difference, chances are that you have already
peaked. The body becomes acclimated to overly regimented exercise. Even if your exercise routine is a combination of cardiovascular training and weight training, the body reaches a plateau. Changing the way you exercise is inevitable. Trainers across America innovate fitness programs based on their clients’ needs. The FITT principle is a combination of any type of training: aerobic, cardiovascular, and weight training. The elements of the FITT principle are comprised of four components: •Frequency
of exercise The versatility of the fitness programs is devised to alleviate work-out boredom. Therefore, the exercise plan can be altered while maintaining the person. For the first component of the FITT principle involves determining how frequently exercise should be planned, weekly. If you have been working out four days a week for the last seven years, 5-6 days would be more beneficial. The next determination is the intensity of the work-out. For example, if your fitness program has been walking for twenty minutes on flat terrain then upgrading the time and intensity or changing the course of your walk to hills could increase the strength or challenge of your work out. The next factor of the FITT principle is calculating how long the exercise regimen should be. For example, if your fitness program has been 4 days a week with only 20-minutes of cardio a day a day; then, beefing up your work-out to 30-minutes would probably reveal more abdominal muscles, trim a couple of inches off of your thighs or whatever your goal may be. Moreover, if your fitness routine has been working out in the morning hours, then switching to the evening can have a positive effect on your work out. One of the most complex aspects of the FITT program is assessing the types of training exercises. For example, if your body type gets more weight in the center, and you are short, you need more core strengthening with aerobic exercise. |
