FITNESS PLAN GLOSSARY OF TERMS:
5 Fitness Components: Muscular Strength (MS); Muscular Endurance (ME);
Cardiovascular (CV); Flexibility; and Body Composition (BC)
Muscular Strength: bodys ability to exert force for a very short period of time using a
lot of energy, usually 1 or 2 reps.
Muscular Endurance: ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated
contractions over a period of time
Cardiovascular: bodys ability, over a sustained period of time, to deliver oxygen and
nutrients to working muscles as well as remove waste (Carbon Dioxide) from the body.
Flexibility: ability to move joints and use muscles through their full range of motion.
Body Composition: ratio of lean body mass to fat in the body. Lean mass and Fat
mass make up body weight.
FITT Formula: Frequency; Intensity; Time and Type
Frequency: how often you do an activity
Intensity: how hard you do an activity. Usually measured by using Heart Rate Zone or
RPE scale for cardiovascular activities and weight and speed for muscular
strength/endurance activities.
Time: how long you do an activity. Can be measured in either time (hours/mins/secs.)
or sets/reps.
Type: type of activity that you choose to perform to meet a specific goal (also known as
specificity)
Principles of Exercise: The terms specificity, progression, overload, warm-up
and cool-down. In other words, explaining how to progress (progression), overload,
warm-up, and cool-down an activity in order to gain fitness benefits from exercise.
Specificity: choosing the right type of activities that specifically match your activity
goal. For example, if you want to improve how many push-ups you do, you need to build
the muscles in your arms and chest, not legs.
Progression: increase the frequency, intensity and/or duration over periods of time in
order to improve. In other words, how are you going to change the way you do your
activities from Week 1 to Week 2 in order to make them more challenging.
Overload: work hard enough and long enough at intensity levels that overload your
body, above resting conditions to bring about improvement. For example, if you can lift
10lb. weights pretty easily for a long time, then you probably should lift a weight that
causes you to struggle slightly.
Warm-up: the process before your main workout begins in order to heat up your
muscles. Usually involves a low intensity, steady activity to get blood flowing and
stretching. Total warm-up time should be 5-10 minutes.
Recovery: Recovery is as important as the workouts themselves. Your muscles need to
recuperate and have time to grow back stronger. For cardiovascular workouts consider a
resting period of 24 hours between workouts. For muscular strength and endurance
activities consider 24-48 hours rest per large muscle group that was focused on. For
flexibility exercises, consider 24 hours or less of rest between workouts.
Rest between sets (MS/ME) If your goal is to increase your strength you should be
doing 1-8 reps of a heavier weight (relative to student), and resting up to 2 minutes
between sets. If your goal is growth you should be doing 8-15 reps per set with a
moderate weight (relative), and resting about 1 minute between sets. If your goal is
endurance (tone), then you should be doing a lightweight workout (relative) consisting of
15 reps or more, and resting for less than 60 seconds between sets.
WHEN USING WEIGHTS AS PART OF AN EXERCISE PROGRAM, REMEMBER THAT ALIGNMENT OF
THE SPINE & JOINTS ALONG WITH PROPER BREATHING, USING FULL RANGE OF MOTION,
AVOIDING EXTRA MOVEMENTS AND CHOOSING THE APPROPRIATE EXERCISES AND WEIGHT CAN
HELP LEAD TO A SUCCESSFUL WORKOUT!

FITNESS PLAN BRAINSTORMING SHEET
By filling out this worksheet, you will be able to start thinking about what you might want to adopt in your
Fitness Plan. This worksheet is intended to help you visualize your strengths and weaknesses, good and bad
habits, motivation strategies, activities that you enjoy as well as general warm-up and cool-down exercises.
When designing your Fitness Plan, you will end up using the information on this worksheet as the substance.

GOAL SETTING SHEET
4. Which of the following are your personal obstacles in adopting a regular fitness program?
a) Intimidated and embarrassed when I exercise e) I get bored pretty easily when I exercise
b) I cant really find the time to exercise f) I have to exercise alone
c) I get frustrated because I dont see results right away g) My exercise setting does not meet my needs
d) Family obligations h) I do not have personal obstacles, I am lazy
5. If you wanted to find out more about how to live a healthier lifestyle, what two types of people do you think you could talk to?
a) b)
6. What sports or fitness activities do you enjoy participating in and why?
8. Which one of the Fitness Components do you need to improve the most? Why?
9. Which one of the Fitness Components do you feel is your strongest? Why?
Setting Goals
Setting goals involve following certain criteria:
1. Be specific: What is it exactly that you would like to accomplish?
2. Be realistic: Do not make goals that are unachievable
3. Be flexible: If you say youll work out 3 days a week, or for 30 minutes, and something comes
up, you can make it up another day, or add some extra time elsewhere in the workout.
4. Measurable: If you are not able to measure your workout, you are unable to measure your
progress
5. Recognize Obstacles: What is standing in your way of achieving your goals?
6. Have short and long-term goals: Stepping stones will let you know if your program is working.
7. Write them down: Write down your goals, post them in places where your support system can
see.
Example of writing a good cardiovascular goal: I would like to lower my mile time from 8:30 to 8:00 by June.
Example of writing a bad cardiovascular goal: I would like to run faster.
Example of writing a good muscular strength goal: I would like to increase my pull-up score from 3 to 5 by June.
Example of writing a bad muscular strength goal: I would like to get stronger.
