ACSM recommends to use the FITT method:
A recommendation by ACSM and others is to use the FITT method: Frequency, Intensity, Time (duration), and Type of exercise.
Frequency (how often),
Intensity (how hard),
Time (duration or how long),
Type(mode or what kind), total
Volume (amount), and
Progression (advancement)
Nonetheless, some individuals may not respond as expected because there isappreciable individual variability in the magnitude of response to a particular exercise regimen. Furthermore, the FITT-VP principle of Exercise may not apply in certain cases because of individual characteristics (e.g., health status, physical ability, age) or athletic and performance goals. Accommodations to the exercise
should be made for individuals with clinical conditions and healthy individuals with special considerations.

The scientific evidence demonstrating the beneficial effects of exercise is indisputable, and the benefits of exercise far outweigh the risks in most adults. For most adults, an exercise program including aerobic, resistance, flexibility, and neuromotor exercise training is indispensable to improve and maintain physical fitness and health. An exercise training program ideally is designed to meet individual  health and physical fitness goals within the context of individual health status, function, and the respective physical and social environment.[1].

The main principles of exercise training are well established in the exercise field; these are specificity, overload, progression, initial values, reversibility and diminishing returns[2]. ACSM recommends to use the FITT method: Frequency (how often), Intensity (how hard), Time (duration or how long), Type(mode or what kind), total Volume (amount), and Progression (advancement) Nonetheless, some individuals may not respond as expected because there isappreciable individual variability in the magnitude of response to a particular exercise regimen. Furthermore, the FITT-VP principle of Exercise may not apply in certain cases because of individual characteristics (e.g., health status, physical ability, age) or athletic and performance goals. Accommodations to the exercise should be made for individuals with clinical conditions and healthy individuals with special considerations.
