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.
These guidelines will help you to 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 the key to achieving results. You can use your heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.
Heart Rate Chart (Beats Per Minute):
Age Group | Fat Burning | Max Fat Burning | Aerobic Exercise |
---|---|---|---|
20 | 115 | 125 | 140 |
30 | 110 | 125 | 140 |
40 | 105 | 118 | 130 |
50 | 103 | 110 | 125 |
60 | 95 | 105 | 115 |
70 | 90 | 95 | 103 |
80 | 80 | 90 | 110 |
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). The three numbers listed above your age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Burning Fat
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your heart rate near the middle number in your training zone.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart rate, exercise for at least four minutes. Then, stop exercising and place two fingers on your wrist as shown. Take a six-second heartbeat count, and multiply the result by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute.
Diagram Description: An illustration showing how to measure heart rate by placing two fingers on the wrist.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
- Warming Up: Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
- Training Zone Exercise: Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise; never hold your breath.
- Cooling Down: Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles and helps to 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 of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
SUGGESTED STRETCHES
- Toe Touch Stretch: Stand with knees bent, bend forward from hips, relax back and shoulders. Reach toward toes. Hold for 15 counts, relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees, back.
- Hamstring Stretch: Sit with one leg extended, bring opposite foot sole to inner thigh of extended leg. Reach toward toes. Hold for 15 counts, relax. Repeat 3 times per leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back, groin.
- Calf/Achilles Stretch: One leg forward, hands against wall. Keep back leg straight, back foot flat. Bend front leg, lean forward, move hips toward wall. Hold for 15 counts, relax. Repeat 3 times per leg. For further stretch, bend back leg. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons, ankles.
- Quadriceps Stretch: With hand on wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot. Bring heel close to buttocks. Hold for 15 counts, relax. Repeat 3 times per leg. Stretches: Quadriceps, hip muscles.
- Inner Thigh Stretch: Sit with soles of feet together, knees outward. Pull feet toward groin. Hold for 15 counts, relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps, hip muscles.
