With this in mind, often people are in searchfor an effective exercise routine that will get them in shapeand keep them there. Unusual training methods, fad diets andoverly extensive exercise routines are being pursued, with thehopes of achieving a healthy body. Sadly more emphasis is placedupon fad diets instead of regular exercise which has beenproven, over and over again, to be the most efficient path tohealth living.You do not need to join a fancy gym or hire an expensivetrainer… you can easily create your own exercise routine andachieve great success, all in the comforts of your own home. Increating your own exercise routine, to make it effective, focusshould be given to the principle of F.I.T.T. which is an acronymFrequency, Intensity, Type and Time.Frequency is the number of times you perform your exerciseroutine, which depends on the primary goal for the exercise. Ifyour goal is to lose weight, then a more frequent routine shouldbe used or if you want to build muscle bulk, you should onlyexercise each body part once every 3 or 4 days.Intensity is the amount of physical exertion you invest perroutine and once more this depends on the goal for the exerciseroutine, as well as the exercise type you decide to choose. Ifyou’re engaged in aerobic exercises, for example, intensity ismeasured through your heart rate per a given period of time. Theintensity for muscle-toning exercises is measured through theweights used, as well as the number of repetitions you do. Type is the manner of exercise you use. Aerobics, weight loss,muscle building (bulk) and muscle-toning exercise are allexamples of this and of course there is bound to be one that issuited for any particular purpose.Time refers to the length of time you invest per session; 20minutes minimum for aerobic exercises, to keep your heart rateup is a good example.Any fitness goal can be achieved by adjusting and tweaking eachof these elements. If you need to lose weight, for example,adjust the frequency and the time of your exercise routine. Ifyou want a more shapely muscled physique then correspondinglyincrease the intensity of your sessions.A few words of caution however, check with your doctor to ensurethe exercise routine your are initiating is safe for yourcondition. Stretch before and after your exercise routines toprevent injury and be prepared to be sore the first week.Muscles that are not used often tend to get very sore whensuddenly used, even with light weights. This disappears aroundthe end of the first week… but be fore warned.
