Want an Exercise Program That Really Works? Try the FITT Principle for Fitness! by Dr. Christina Hibbert

If you want an exercise program that really works, try the FITT Principle. 

Frequency: How often will you exercise? Three to five times a week is a good start (with your doctor's OK)! 

Intensity: How hard will you work? For weight loss, high intensity is ideal, but you can reap the mental/physical health benefits of exercise even at lower intensities. 

Type: What type of activity will you do? Cardio? Weight training? Flexibility? Good programs incorporate all three. 

Time: Even 20 minutes a day works.
