FREQUENCY
how often an
activity is done.
could be expressed
in days per week or
the number of times
per day.
FREQUENCY. When considering frequency, you might also
factor in other components. If you're focusing on cardio exercise
like running or walking at a moderate intensity, you might
exercise five times each week. If you're doing cardio activity at a
high intensity, you might only exercise three times each week. In
contrast, if you're focusing on strength training, you might do
that two to three times each week on non-consecutive days to
avoid overworking the muscles.
Why is frequency important in fitness
PLANNING?
Working out daily can lead to injuries, fatigue,
and burnout. All of these things can cause you
to abandon your fitness program altogether.
Intensity
• how hard the
activity is
• refers to the
amount of effort
exerted in a
workout.
Why is INTENSITY important in fitness?
Intensity is probably the most important element of your
workout because when you work out at a sufficient
intensity, your body grows stronger and you'll see
changes in your weight, body fat percentage, endurance,
and strength. Exercise intensity is usually measured as low,
moderate, or vigorous.
Why is time important in
exercise?
Research has shown that it's important to get all
four types of exercise: endurance, strength,
balance, and flexibility. Each one has different
benefits. Doing one kind also can improve your
ability to do the others, and variety helps reduce
boredom and risk of injury
Type
the mode or kind of
activity done. This could
simply refer to whether
the exercise is a resistance
vs. cardiovascular
endurance type, or within
the latter, swimming vs.
running vs. rowing.
