8. Guidelines for Physical Preparation

Starting an exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive or are overweight, begin slowly and gradually increase duration. Initially, aim for a few minutes in your target zone, with aerobic training improving over six-eight weeks. Consistency is key; aim for 30 minutes of uninterrupted exercise. A better aerobic program requires harder training to maintain your target zone.

• Consult your doctor for training and nutrition advice and a daily training plan.
• Start your program slowly with realistic goals agreed upon with your doctor.
• Monitor your pulse frequently. Determine your target heart rate based on age and physical condition.
• Place the equipment on a flat, uniform surface at least one meter away from walls and furniture.

Training Intensity

To maximize training benefits, exercise with appropriate intensity. Use your heart rate as a guide.

For effective aerobic exercise, maintain your heart rate between 70% and 85% of your maximum heart rate. This is your "target zone". The table below indicates target zones for beginners and fit individuals based on age.

In the first few months of your program, keep your heart rate near the lower end of your target zone. After a few months, your heart rate can gradually increase towards the middle of your target zone during exercise.

Manual Heart Rate Measurement:

Stop exercising but continue moving your legs or walking. Place two fingers on your wrist. Count pulsations for six seconds and multiply by 10. For example, 14 pulsations in six seconds equals 140 bpm. Adjust exercise intensity until your heart rate is in the desired range.

Warm-up and Cool-down

• Warm-up: Prepare your body for exercise and minimize injury risk. Perform 2-5 minutes of warm-up before intense exercise. Activities include brisk walking, jogging, jumping jacks, skipping rope, and running in place.
• Stretching: Stretching muscles while warm is important after a warm-up or intense session. It reduces injury risk. Hold stretches for 15-30 seconds. Do not bounce.
• Head-to-Floor Stretch: Stand with legs apart, feet aligned with shoulders. Lean forward, using your body weight to stretch the back of your legs. Hold for 30 seconds. Do not bounce. Gradually deepen the stretch.
• Floor Stretch: Sit on the floor, legs spread wide. Lean your upper body towards the right knee, using your arms to bring your chest towards your thighs. Hold for 10-30 seconds. Do not bounce. Repeat 10 times. Repeat for the left leg.
• Torso Stretch: Sit on the floor with one leg extended and the other bent. Lean forward, touching the thigh of the bent leg, flexing your waist. Hold for at least 10 seconds. Repeat 10 times per side.
• Leg Flexion Stretch: Stand with legs apart, feet parallel to shoulders. Lean forward, slightly inclining the torso towards the right leg. Keep head down. Do not bounce. Hold for at least 10 seconds. Repeat for the left leg.
• Cool-down (Relaxation): Helps the body return to its normal state. Reduces heart rate and allows blood to return to the heart. Include the previously mentioned stretches.

9. Maintenance
