Get the best out of your work out!

Getting the best out of your workout is not an easy task for anyone! However with this short little trick makes it a lot easier! just remember to Fight..   well its actually F.I.T.T.E

F - Frequency: How often are you exercising in a week, or in a day?

I - Intensity : How hard are you working? are you working hard enough? are you working to hard? These     play a HUUUUGE factor in calorie expenditure

T - Time : how long are you working out for? is your work out long enough?
According to the American College of Sports Medicine exercise guidelines for adults under the age of 65 states that you should do moderately intense cardio for 30 minutes a day, five days a week, or do vigorously intense exercise for 20 minutes three days a week and 10 minutes of strength-training with eight to 12 repetitions twice a week. The World Health Organization recommends that adults get 150 minutes of moderately intense aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise weekly.

T - Type :  What is your exercise model? Equipment? and Strategy?
In plain terms, whats your goal? How do you plan on achieving it? What type of equipment do you have at your fingertips to achieve said goal? And Finally, do you have a set workout and is it tailored to your goal?

E - Enjoyment : Do you enjoy what you're doing?  Change it up a little to keep it fresh. Obviously if you enjoy what you are doing you are going to keep doing, and if you do it enough it will become a habit.. and a healthy habit at that.
