exercise, fitness and nutrition

In this case study assignment, we learned how to tailor physical activities to the individual needs and current levels.  Each person presented with a different goal, ability and resources.  We learned to meet the person where they were and help them to progress to meet their goals.  The principles used in this assignment were FITT (frequency, intensity, time and type) PROS (progress, regularity, overload, and specificity) to explain how the person would progress through the fitness program outlined.  Each principle was attributed to the major fitness criteria as a whole: cardiovascular, flexibility, and strength.  Addressing people as individuals and modifying the recommended activities will hopefully create a desire to continue with the program as it is seen as challenging but not overwhelming.
