Fitness Program Guidelines

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program and exercise safely. Remember that proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results.

WARNING: Before beginning this or any other exercise program, consult your doctor. This is especially important for pregnant women and new mothers, all people over the age of 35, and those with medical problems such as heart disease, high or low blood pressure, injuries, joint problems, obesity, and asthma.

Why Exercise?

Exercise has been proven essential for good health and general wellbeing. Regular exercise will:

• Relieve tension and stress
• Provide enjoyment and fun
• Stimulate the mind
• Help maintain stable weight
• Control appetite
• Boost self-image
• Improve muscle tone and strength
• Improve flexibility
• Lower blood pressure
• Relieve insomnia

Target Heart Rate

To train effectively, you should aim to work in the heart rate zone appropriate to your age as stipulated below. Please note this is a guide, and your heart rate at rest and during training is determined by your fitness level and other lifestyle factors, as well as your age. If you reach the recommended beats per minute below and feel you are over-exerting yourself, stop, rest, and when you feel recovered, return to exercise at a lower intensity.

Beginners Guide to Exercise

If you're beginning an exercise program for the first time or starting a new exercise program, you must check with your doctor that you are fit to do so, particularly if:

• You have been diagnosed with heart problems, high blood pressure, or other medical conditions.
• You have not exercised for over a year.
• If you are over 35 and do not currently exercise.
• You are pregnant or are a new mother.
• You have diabetes.
• You have chest pain, or experience dizziness or fainting spells.
• You are recovering from an injury or illness.

Work-out Tips

• Always perform a warm-up and stretching exercises before your work-out and a cool down and stretching exercises at the end.
• Start slowly and build up your time, speed, and resistance gradually; doing too much too soon can lead to injuries.
• If you are sore or tired, give yourself a few extra days to recover.

How to Begin

• Start with two or three 15-minute sessions per week with a rest day between work-outs.
• Warm-up for 5 to 10 minutes with gentle movements incorporating the whole body, such as walking while swinging your arms in a circle, and then stretch the muscles you'll use during your work-out. Seated cycling works mainly the quadriceps (thighs) and hamstrings.
• Increase the pace and resistance to slightly harder than comfortable and exercise for as long as you can. You may only be able to exercise for a few minutes at a time, but that will change quickly when you exercise regularly.
• End each work-out with a 5-minute cool down with the resistance set to a low level. You should then stretch the muscles you've just worked to develop flexibility, reduce muscle soreness, and prevent injury.
• Increase your work-out time by a few minutes each week until you can work continuously for 30 minutes per session.
• Don't worry about distance or pace for the first few weeks; focus on endurance and conditioning.

How Hard Should You Work?

When exercising, you should try to stay within your target heart rate (THR) zone. The table on the previous page will tell you the THR for your age. Always be aware of how you feel when you exercise. If you feel dizzy or light-headed, stop immediately and rest.

Stretching Guide

Tips for Stretching

• Begin with small mobility exercises of all the joints, e.g., simply rotate the ankles, bend the knees, and roll your hips. Gradually make the movements larger and faster. This will allow the body's natural lubrication (synovial fluid) to protect the surface of your bones at these joints.
• Always warm up the body before stretching, as this increases blood flow around the body, creating warmth which makes the muscles more supple.
• Start with your legs, and steadily work up the body.
• Each stretch should be held for at least 10 seconds (working up to 20 to 30 seconds) and usually repeated about 2 or 3 times.
• Do not stretch until it hurts. If there's any pain, ease off.
• Don't bounce. Stretching should be gradual and relaxed.
• Don't hold your breath during a stretch.
• Stretch after exercising to prevent muscles from tightening up.
• Stretch at least three times a week to maintain flexibility.

Illustrations of various stretching poses are provided: Side Stretch, Toe Touch, Inner Thigh Stretch, Hamstring Stretch, Calf-Achilles Stretch.

Warm-up and Cool-down

A successful cardio-vascular exercise program consists of a full body warm-up, aerobic exercise, and a cool-down. Do the entire program at least two and preferably three times a week, resting for a day between workouts. After several months, you can increase your workouts to four or five times per week.

Warm-up

The purpose of warming up is to prepare your body for exercise and to minimize injuries. Warm up for five minutes before strength-training or exercising aerobically. Perform activities that raise your heart rate and warm the working muscles. Activities may include brisk walking, jogging, jumping jacks, jump rope, and running on the spot. Try to incorporate moves that take the joints through their full range of motion.

Stretching

Stretching while your muscles are warm after a proper warm-up and again after your strength or aerobic training session is very important. Muscles stretch more easily at these times because of their elevated temperature, which greatly reduces the risk of injury. Stretching develops flexibility and reduces muscle soreness. Stretches should be held for 15 to 30 seconds.
