Frequency (how often you are physically active in a week)
Intensity (how hard you work each time you are physically active)
Time (the duration or how long your physical activity lasts)
Type (the kind of physical activity you are doing)

Content: As we get older, muscle size and strength decline with age. But strength training exercises can rebuild and preserve muscles. Strength training also helps improves balance. Strength training can have a positive impact on your appearance. The FITT principle can help you incorporate strength training exercise into your physical activity plan. Frequency (how often you are physically active in a week)
It is recommended that you strength train your muscles at least two times per week. Rest at least one to two days in between working the same muscle groups again. For example, if you work your arm muscles on Monday, wait until Wednesday or Thursday to work them again. Small tears in the muscles occur during strength training. Rest is needed to allow the muscles to repair themselves, which is how they become bigger and stronger.
