The 3 primary components of all exercise programs: 1. FREQUENCY (“How many days per week should I workout?”), 2. INTENSITY (“How hard should I push myself when I workout?”), 3. DURATION (“How long should my workout last?”), otherwise
abbreviated as FID. Hence, the principles introduced and defined within this section will help you determine your exercise frequency / duration / intensity parameters, according to recent guidelines established by most major health organizations, for adults 18 years of age and older - depending on the key focus and
specific goals of the individual - be it to enhance athletic performance within a particular sport, or simply to support a healthful and vibrant lifestyle.

Most individuals have a basic idea as to which activities they want to perform based on their personal preferences, time availability, and physical capabilities. However, what's not always so evident
to people is how to design and implement the actual exercise routine itself, how to effectively balance aerobic conditioning with strength training, or what protocols to employ in order to accurately gauge their
performance and progress. Hence, in this section, we will expound the universally accepted concepts and theoretics of exercise form, function, structuring and grouping to help get you started off on the right track.
