What does developing a personal exercise programme involve?

Developing a programme means adjusting it as fitness improves, for example by raising the intensity. The programme stays challenging, so progress continues.

How can a personal exercise programme be monitored?

Progress can be monitored with a training diary and heart rate records. Retesting fitness at intervals shows whether the programme is working.

Why is it important to evaluate a personal exercise programme?

An evaluation shows whether the goals have been met and which parts of the programme worked. The findings guide changes to the next programme.
