It's a simple framework to help you structure your workouts effectively and safely.Frequency: How often you exercise.Intensity: How hard you work during exercise.Time: How long you exercise for.Type: What kind of exercise you do.A balanced plan should include three key types of exercise: Cardiovascular (heart health), Strength (muscle and bone health), and Flexibility (mobility and injury prevention).
