Fitness Plan
NOTE: This week focuses on getting used to regular physical activity while learning proper exercise form. The goal is to build a
strong foundation without overexertion, ensuring the body adapts to movement. This is supported by the Principle of Initial
Adaptation (McArdle, Katch, & Katch, 2015) whereas the idea that exposing the body to different movement patterns helps
build foundational strength, flexibility, and endurance while minimizing injury risks.

NOTE: This week is all about improving endurance and increase exercise familiarity, so that the body starts adjusting to
workouts, so this week builds on the foundation with slightly longer sessions and add more focus aspect. According to Fleck &
Kraemer (2014) it is important to gradually increase intensity and specificity to enhance performance and prevent plateaus.
This approach ensures continuous adaptation while reducing the risk of stagnation or overuse injuries.
