FITT Principle - Tips while Planning and Exercising

Every brief bounds of activity offers benefits - This shows that you need not have 1 hour of activity in each day in 5 days a week. You should spread your time wisely depending on your daily schedule. Maybe, you can only have 15 minutes of activities on Monday followed by 45 minutes of activities on the next day. No matter whether you exercise everyday, as long as you have at least a total of 5 hours of exercise or physical activities planned.

Time - Plan your time wisely for your own activities. Look at your schedule before deciding the activities planned. Make sure that you have enough time and try to squeeze in bits and parts of physical exercise in your schedule. Don't make exercising an excuse for not going to work/ school/ classes, not doing house chores/ homework/ assignments and so on.

Determination - Even though you are bound to be really fatigue while you are exercising, make sure that you do not stop and have the correct mindset that you are doing this for your own good and not because you are forced to. Hang in there and keep going, it will all be worth it.

Interest- Build interest for the activity you are about to do. When you build interest, you feel that you are having fun instead of actually being tormented. 

Discipline - Simply do not procrastinate!

Know your own body - If you feel like you are going to pass out, quickly stop to take a rest. After each activity you carry out, try to endure to build stamina, after a few exercises you will notice you are about to carry out activities of a greater intensity level. Consult your doctor or a specialist before carrying out the activities you planned if  you have any medical conditions eg. asthma, high blood pressure, history of heart attack etc.
