F.I.T.T Principle

F.I.T.T Principle

F- Frequency - How Often You Do Something.
Example: Frequency of Our Warm-Up Run is 5 Days a Week.

I- Intensity - How Hard You Do Something.
Example: Our Warm-Up Run is at a Moderate Intensity Level.

T- Time - How Long You Do An Activity.
Example: Our Warm-Up Run Is Now 4:30 Out And 4:30 Back or 9 Minutes Total.

T- Type - What Kind of Exercise it is.
Example: Our Warm-Up Exercise is a Cardio Vascular Endurance Exercise.

Target Heart Rate Equation (220 - Your Age) x 0.60 Low and X 0.90 High
To Find Minimum Do 220 - Your Age x 0.6
To Find Maximum Do 220 - Your Age x 0.9
Example: John is 30. To find his minimum heart rate you do 220 - 30 which is 190, then times it by 0.6. This makes it 114. To find his maximum heart rate you do 220 - 30 which is again 190, then times it by 0.9 this time. This makes it 171. By doing the math you can figure out that John's target heart rate range is 114 to 171.
