After reading about Calculating RHR and HRR, and F.I.T.T. create a fitness plan.

1. Begin by writing one SMART goal that you will work toward in the next 6 weeks. .

Ask yourself if your SMART goal is specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time specific. Do not include one statement for each letter of the acronym. A SMART goal is one statement. Use specific evaluation dates.

The goal should be linked to the 1-mile walk/run such as I will walk 1 mile in X amount of time by 12 March. Other goals can be used as long as they are related to cardiovascular exercise. However the one goal that will be graded is the goal related to the 1-mile assessment Each goal needs a F.I.T.T.

2. Next, write the F.I.T.T to help you reach your goals.

F=frequency-how often will you exercise- once a week, twice a week? What days will you exercise? Remember you are required to walk a minimum of three times a week.

I = intensity-you figured this out when you calculated your HRR. Using the HRR will personalize your fitness plan to you. Some place in your plan you must include the step by step HRR calculations. After week 2 your exercise HR must fall within your calculated HRR range or the walk will not count toward your weekly total. Walks for week 3 will not count until the HRR is correctly calculated.

220-age=MHR

MHR-RHR x (.50 and .70) + RHR = HRR

T=Time-how long will you exercise? By the end of the semester, you must exercise at least 30 minutes.

T=Type-what type of exercises will you complete each time? This is a fitness walking class so you must include walking but you may include other types of exercise as well such as weight resistance, bicycling, jogging, aerobic class etc. as long as you include a F.I.T.T for each exercise.
