Lo3: Be able to plan a ftness
pronramme
,By Diana Semko
P4 – Plan a six-week personal ftness pronramme to incorporate the principles of traininn.
To begin with, for this pass criteria I will be creatng a 6-week ftness plan (below) to focus on
different principles of training. My 6week plan will be different to an one else because I will be
focusing on different training then them. Myan online sources suggest that for beginners it is
recommended to exercise 3-4 tmes per week. This suggeston fts m lifest le perfectl because I
can exercises 2 tmes in college and then just add on another da when I am at home.
My main areas for this 6-week ftness programme are to focus on improving the muscular endurance
as well as, focusing a bit on m cardiovascular side. I would like to focus on m muscular endurance
because I know it’s one of m weak sides, I would like to gain some muscle and I just don’t like how I
look with ver litle muscle. The second component of ftness that I want to focus on is cardio
vascular endurance this is because when I am preparing to take the ftness test for the Police Service
I alwa s end up with a bad score.
My weekends exercises will be different each week because I am working either ver earl in the
morning untl the afernoon, or from the afernoon untl night tme. So, I can’t state the specifc tme
that I will be doing m workouts.
