Exercise Guidelines

WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over age 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

The heart rate monitor is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

These guidelines will help you plan your exercise program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician. Remember, proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results.

Exercise Intensity

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper intensity is key. You can use your heart rate as a guide.

Chart Description: The chart (not visually represented here) shows recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise. Find your age at the bottom. The three numbers above your age define your "training zone": lowest for fat burning, middle for maximum fat burning, and highest for aerobic exercise.

• Burning Fat: Exercise at a low intensity for a sustained period. Your body uses stored fat calories after the first few minutes. Adjust intensity until heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone. For maximum fat burning, aim for the middle number.
• Aerobic Exercise: Perform aerobic exercise (activity requiring large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods) to strengthen your cardiovascular system. Adjust intensity until heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone.

Workout Guidelines

• Warming Up: Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise to increase body temperature, heart rate, and circulation.
• Training Zone Exercise: Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During the first few weeks, do not exceed 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply; never hold your breath.
• Cooling Down: Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to increase muscle flexibility and prevent post-exercise problems.

Exercise Frequency

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months, you may increase to five workouts per week if desired. Consistency is key to making exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your life.
