*Fitness for your sake,*
_not social media_
No To PER FORMATIVE WELLNESS
_Performative wellness is when someone goes to the gym to click their #potd (photo of the day) or learning a specific yoga pose just to be able to impress others. It is the trend where people do things not for intrinsic health benefits but for the impressiveness factor._
```“Anxiety and depression stem from the need to create picture perfect meals, adopt expensive self-care strategies, looking perfect all the time, wearing fancy yoga clothes, joining fancy fitness classes and the need to decide from a plethora of choices,”```
But Now is a year of REALISATION that *“THE LESS IS MORE"* and the way forward is to keep things simple. It is about simplicity and going back to the basics. It’s about doing what’s practical, sustainable and at the same time, effective. 🚴♂️

FITT- Exersize
FITT stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type of Exercise.
FITT Principle: One Single Formula To Monitor Your Workout Routine And Ensure Its Effectiveness.
The FITT principle can apply to any type of resistance training including aerobic strength, speed or overall strength. The FITT principle is primarily suited for beginners as it talks about exactly what is needed to get started. Following the FITT principle is considered to be a great method of monitoring your exercise program.
FREQUENCY refers to how often you exercise,
INTENSITY refers to how intense you make your workout regime,
TIME refers to the duration of your workout, and
TYPE OF EXERCISE is the variety of workouts you include in your regime.
_Benefits of following the FITT principle_
Following the FITT principle can ensure your training is reasonably effective.
The ideal recommendation is to exercise for around five to six times in a week, of moderate to high intensity, for anywhere between 15 to 40 minutes and involve different kinds of workouts in your routine.
Frequency
The number of times (frequency) you exercise will depend on your fitness level, how much time you have to spare for exercising and the goals you have set for yourself. If you are looking for quick weight loss, more number of workouts are required. If you want to improve your fitness levels, a slow and gradual progress is recommended, and so on.
Intensity
Intensity is the most important aspect of exercising, along with performing exercise with the right technique. Intensity is also the most difficult factor to monitor, especially for beginners. The first few days when you still have to work on building your STAMINA, go through muscle cramps and endless tiredness, maintaining the intensity of exercising is most challenging to achieve.
Intensity can only be maintained by taking it slow and steady, and adapting yourself to the workouts.
Time
No matter how difficult it is, you have to take out the time for exercising. And the notion that only long duration workouts are effective for weight loss or fat loss, isn't true. You can blend long duration medium intensity workout and short duration high intensity workouts. Just make sure that you are performing exercise with the right technique, especially when you are doing short duration workout.
As mentioned above, anywhere between 15 minutes to one hour of exercise is important on a regular basis.
_For a healthy heart, high blood pressure, normal cholesterol levels and overall health, 90 minutes of high intensity exercise and 150 minutes of medium intensity exercise in a week is important._
Type
The kind of exercise that you do is also going to impact the results you get. The kind of exercise that you do will depend on your purpose as well. If you want to work on your cardiorespiratory fitness, exercise like jogging, running, brisk walking, cycling, zumba, aerobics and stair climbing can help. For improving your muscle strength, you need to do weight lifting, exercise with machine weights and body weight exercises like chin-ups, dips, pull-ups, push-ups, planks, etc.
