Question

Read the following story and tell me how Harper used the FITT principle. Harper works out 4-5 days a week for 60 minutes a day. Harper will workout at a moderate pace during the week. Harper is working out to get ready for basketball season so her workouts include basketball drills, jogging and weight lifting. What’s Harper... frequency- Intensity- Time- Type-

Answer 1

Harper used the the frequency principle (F) by planning to work out 4-5 days a week. Frequency is how often you exercise, usually on a weekly basis.

She used the intensity principle (I) by deciding to exercise on a moderate level, rather than, for example, an intense workout. Intensity is basically how hard you exercise and push yourself.

She then used the time (T) principle by choosing to workout for 60 mins per day. Time meaning how much time you spend working out each day.

And lastly, she used the type (T) principle by devising a specific type and/or set of exercise(s) to do, which in her case, is drills, jogging, and weight lifting.

So all in all, Harpers frequency is 4-5 days per week, her intensity is moderate, her time is 60 mins/day, and type is basketball drills, jogging and weight lifting.

Hope I helped! :)
