the FITT Principle

The FITT Principle is a guideline to help you create effective exercise routines. It stands for Frequency (how often you exercise), Intensity (how hard you work), Time (how long you exercise), and Type (the kind of activity you do). Adjusting these factors can help you improve your fitness, whether your goal is strength, endurance, or flexibility. For example, you might exercise three times a week (frequency), do activities that challenge you but are sustainable (intensity), for 30 minutes each session (time), and choose activities like running or yoga (type). Tailoring these elements helps make your workouts effective and safe.
