Aim: What is the FITT Principle? Do Now: Complete my Physical Activity Recall (on desk)
2
Warm up Purpose: To get blood flowing to the muscles in a gradual manner. Benefits: – Prepares body for exercise both mentally and physically –Makes muscles more pliable –Delivers oxygen to muscles –Prepares heart for for an increase in activity –Improves coordination and reaction time.
3
Workout Guidelines Have a partner If working out for strength 6-8 reps of each exercise. If working out for endurance 12-15 reps. Perform at least 3 sets of each exercise. Start with larger muscles groups Watch form! Allow muscles to recover 24-48 hours before working again.
4
Cool Down Purpose: To slowly decrease the heart rate and overall metabolism after exercise. Benefits: –Returns heart rate and breathing to normal GRADUALLY –Helps avoid dizziness or fainting –Removes waste products from muscles
5
FITT Principle Frequency: How often the exercise is performed Intensity: How hard you are working Time: How long you are going one exercise Type: What specific exercise Example: –Jog 3 days a week for 45 mins at an 8 min/mile pace.
6
General Workout Plan Warm up: At least 5-10 minutes to get HR up. –Jog, jump rope, bike –Active (dynamic) stretching Work out: No longer than 60 mins. –Focus on exercises specific to the muscles being worked on that day. Cool down: At least 5-10 mins. to lower HR –Walk or bike at a moderate to slow pace. Stretch: While muscles are still warm to help flexibility.
