Personal Exercise Plan
Personal Exercise Plan
A Personal Exercise Plan is a training programme that is specific to you and your sporting or physical activity. It is
prepared using knowledge about your own needs of the test for which you are training and a thorough understating of
the fitness principles. You must include the following sections in your PEP:
Fitness test record sheet & Introduction to include strengths, weaknesses and area that you wish to improve
SPORRRT & FITT principles of training
An outline of your Stamina/Strength/Speed/Suppleness training session (I&II)
Physical activity log (6 weeks)
Final Evaluation including results

The FITT principle
You must also explain the FITT principle and how it will affect your training.

machine I will divide the exercise in to two sets. The
first one will have one load and the second set will
have a bit more of load.) I will also try to end in the 6º

that exercise my muscles must be strong enough, so I
also have to improve the muscular strength. I do it by
performing activities in the different machines in the
gym.
