The FITT Principle

Have you stopped seeing results from your workouts? If so, use the FITT principle to kick your exercise routine into a higher gear.



  • Increase the frequency of your workouts by adding an extra day.
  • Increase the intensity by moving more quickly (for example, going from a brisk walk to a jog) or by heading to more challenging terrain (for example, walking over hills instead of on a flat surface).
  • Increase the time you spend working out by adding 5-10 minutes to each workout.
  • Change the type of exercise that you do - if you’re a walker, try riding your bike or taking a Spinning class.

Those are very good points to remember Lisa.
Our bodies are amazing...
They so easily adapt to the challenges we give them.
Always a good idea to shake it up a bit.
