FITNESS PLAN WORKSHEET

Goals, Activities, FITT and Recognizing Obstacles

A very important aspect of designing your personalized fitness plan is to set fitness goals. The goals that you establish should take into account your current fitness level as well as where you would like your level of fitness to be. Well written goals will drive your activity selection and FITT (See below for description) formula.

Glossary of Terms:

• FIT Formula: Frequency; Intensity; Time.

• Frequency: how often you do an activity

• Intensity: how hard you do an activity. Usually measured by using Heart Rate Zone or RPE scale for cardiovascular activities and weight and speed for muscular strength/endurance activities.

• Specificity: choosing the right type of activities that specifically match your activity goal. For example, if you want to improve how many push-ups you do, you need to build the muscles in your arms and chest, not legs.

• Progression: increase the frequency, intensity and/or duration over periods of time in order to improve. For example, if you wanted to improve your mile time, maybe you start with all runs in your Target Heart Rate Zone then progress into runs where you are pushing every other lap into Zone 3 and Zone 4 to improve your speed and endurance.

• Overload: work hard enough and long enough at intensity levels that overload your body, above resting conditions to bring about improvement. For example, if you can lift 10lb. weights pretty easily for a long time, then you probably should lift a weight that causes you to struggle slightly.

• Recovery: Recovery is as important as the workouts themselves. Your muscles need to recuperate and have time to grow back stronger. For cardiovascular workouts consider a resting period of 24 hours between workouts. For muscular strength and endurance activities consider 24-48 hours rest per large muscle group that was focused on. For flexibility exercises, consider 24 hours or less of rest between workouts.

• Rest between sets (MS/ME) – If your goal is to increase your strength you should be doing 1-8 reps of a heavier weight (relative to student), and resting up to 2 minutes between sets. If your goal is growth you should be doing 8-15 reps per set with a moderate weight (relative), and resting about 1 minute between sets. If your goal is endurance (tone), then you should be doing a lightweight workout (relative) consisting of 15 reps or more, and resting for less than 60 seconds between sets.

• Muscular Strength: Muscular strength is ability of a muscle to exert a maximal force through a given range of motion or at a single given point.

• Muscular Endurance: Muscular Endurance refers to the capacity of a muscle to exert a submaximal force through a given range of motion or at a single point over a given time.

• Cardiovascular Endurance: Cardiovascular Endurance is the ablity to continue training the cardiovascualr system for a period longer than twenty minutes (on average).

• Flexibility: Flexibility is the ability of a joint to move through a full range of motion.

• Body Composition: Body Composition is the ratio of lean body mass to fat body mass.

• WHEN USING WEIGHTS AS PART OF AN EXERCISE PROGRAM, REMEMBER THAT ALIGNMENT OF THE SPINE & JOINTS ALONG WITH PROPER BREATHING, USING FULL RANGE OF MOTION, AVOIDING EXTRA MOVEMENTS AND CHOOSING THE APPROPRIATE EXERCISES AND WEIGHT CAN HELP LEAD TO A SUCCESSFUL WORKOUT!
