The FITT Principle Podcast: Recent Episodes
Jeff F.I.T.T. Miami Media
How often should you exercise? How hard should you exercise? How long should you exercise? What kind of exercise should I do? These are your questions answered on The F.I.T.T. Principle Podcast with Jeff F.I.T.T. Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type are acronymically established as a recipe for an effective exercise program and life. So join me as we take a look at this Principle and learns together on how to apply them.

In part one, I discussed the need to change your weight and other important information in your device to reflect what's accurate. Then in part two, I challenged you to increase the duration of your exercise ring on your watch. In this part, I will show you how to accurately (or as close as possible) set the number of calories you should be burning throughout the day. Are you ready? Set your watch and Let's go!
CHECK YOUR BMR!
Activity multipliers. These multipliers reflect varying levels of activity throughout a one-week period:
- Sedentary (little or no exercise)= BMR x 1.2
- Lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week)= BMR x 1.375
- Moderately active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week)= BMR x 1.55
- Very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week)= BMR x 1.725
- If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & a physical job)= BMR x 1.9
This is part 2 of 2 episodes, concerning the accuracy of the Apple watch, or other devices similar to it. Learning to better utilize these devices so that they are working for you, may help you crush your fitness goals. The hack in this episode is probably the one you are overlooking. I've changed mine, and now its time you consider changing yours. Things remain the same, if there is no change.
This is part 1 of 2 episodes, concerning the accuracy of the Apple watch, or other devices similar to it. I hope by the end of these episodes, you will learn how to better utilize these devices so that they are working for you and your fitness goals.
We may be programed to take a rest the next day. Some of us take two, three and four days to rest after a 30-minute workout. And there are those others, non which are my listeners, who take seven whole days to rest. Lol...There's some truth behind that little humor. Rest shouldn't be as planned as our workouts. I'll repeat that: "Rest shouldn't be as planned as our workouts!" "So when do I take a rest, Mr. Trainer guy," you ask?
I heard it all the time: "I don't have time to do exercise." Some people think grandiosely when it comes to working it. Well, I'm here to squash that, so let's go!
We have all heard of a warm up. Some do it, some don't (it's very important that you do). But very few will do a cool down, which is equally important.
Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type: these are the acronyms that make up the FITT Principle. We've covered Frequency and Intensity, now let's get into Time and Type.
How hard should you work out? Well that's what we discuss in this episode of the FITT Principle Podcast. So sit back and enjoy my luxurious voice (🙄) as I explain how to get the most out of your workout.
HEART RATE CALCULATOR (I have no affiliation with this website): https://www.active.com/fitness/calculators/heartrate
In this podcast, we will explore how often (frequent) we should work out for both cardio and strength training. Some think it should be everyday for results and may get discouraged or intimidated. Well, we will discuss this in the podcast. Feel free to drop me a comment or any questions you may have. Enjoy and thanks for tuning in!
It is a new year. A time when we set new goals for ourselves. One goal that is consistent every year is our fitness goals. In this episode, I will attempt to help you achieve those goals by introducing you to the F.I.T.T. Principle. It is nothing new. The F.I.T.T. Principle has been around for a very long time; however, it’s not widely publicized. Allow me, Roy Jeffery, fitness studio owner of Jeff F.I.T.T. Miami Personal Training Studio, to introduce and explain the F.I.T.T. Principle and how it can work for you. I can be reached at www.jefffittmiami.com
