Lecture Notes

On the final slide in this lecture we're going to look at how to use the FITT formula to develop a resistance training program, and just like we talked about earlier in this lecture, it's recommended that adults in the US participate in some sort of muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days of the week, and ideally these activities should cover all the major muscle groups, so your legs, your hips, you back, chest, abs, shoulders and arms. All of those major muscle groups should be covered on two or more days of the week. So you can do more than two days, but it's also important to remember that recovery is important, so you want to give yourself a break between lifting the same muscle groups over and over again.
