FITT Principle

A framework used to design safe, balanced, and effective workouts consisting of Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type.

Frequency

Component of FITT referring to how often you exercise, such as $3-5$ days per week for general fitness.

Intensity

Component of FITT referring to how hard you exercise, often monitored through Heart rate, RPE, or the talk test.

Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE)

A scale used to measure intensity, where light is $1-3/10$, moderate is $4-6/10$, and vigorous is $7-10/10$.

Time

Component of FITT referring to how long you exercise, such as $150-300$ minutes per week of moderate aerobic activity.

Type

Component of FITT referring to the kind of exercise performed, such as Aerobic, Strength, Flexibility, or Balance.

Principle of Overload

The training principle stating that fitness improves when the body is challenged beyond its normal demands.

Principle of Progression

The training principle stating that fitness improves when exercise demands are gradually increased over time.

Principle of Specificity

The training principle stating that training effects are specific to the type of exercise performed.

SMART Goals

A framework for creating clear and achievable goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound.

Specific (SMART)

The goal-setting criteria of clearly stating what you want to achieve, who is involved, and where it will happen.

Measurable (SMART)

The goal-setting criteria of including criteria like distance, time, or repetitions to track progress.

Achievable (SMART)

The goal-setting criteria of ensuring a goal is realistic, attainable, and possible given resources.

Relevant (SMART)

The goal-setting criteria of ensuring the goal matters personally and matches values and priorities.

Time-Bound (SMART)

The goal-setting criteria of setting a deadline, target date, or defined time frame.

Balance (Nutrition)

Eating a variety of foods from all food groups in appropriate amounts.

Moderation (Nutrition)

Eating favorite foods in reasonable amounts.

Portion Control

Being mindful of serving sizes to help maintain healthy body weight.

Nutrition Quality

Preferring whole and minimally processed foods while limiting sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats.
