What is Your Exercise Prescription?

Today it is possible to prescribe exercise as accurately as a physician prescribes a medication. This presentation illustrates the eight different parts of a well designed exercise prescription. It shows why each part is important and how to “fill” the prescription. The acronym “PFITTNOS” is used to help remember the different components. Opportunities to get your personal exercise prescription will be covered as part of this presentation.
