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 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 key. 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.

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.

Workout Guidelines

• Warming Up: Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A warm-up increases body temperature, heart rate, and circulation.
• Training Zone Exercise: Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes with your heart rate in your training zone. (For the first few weeks, limit training zone exercise to 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply; never hold your breath.
• Cooling Down: Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to increase flexibility and prevent post-exercise problems.

Exercise Frequency

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

Suggested Stretches

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown. Move slowly as you stretch; never bounce.
