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 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.

(Chart showing age ranges and corresponding heart rate zones for fat burning and aerobic exercise. Example: Ages 20-80 with heart rates like 165, 155, 145 for fat burning and 115, 103, 90 for aerobic.)

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, exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period. During the first few minutes, your body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after that does it begin to use stored fat calories. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust intensity 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.

Aerobic Exercise

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, perform aerobic exercise, which requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods. For aerobic exercise, adjust intensity until your 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. 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. (During the first few weeks, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply; never hold your breath.
• Cooling Down: Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Stretching increases muscle flexibility and helps prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months, you may complete up to five workouts each week. Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

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

1. Toe Touch Stretch: Stand with knees bent slightly, slowly bend forward from hips. Allow back and shoulders to relax as you reach toward toes. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees, and back. (Diagram shows a person bending forward at the waist.)
2. Hamstring Stretch: Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach toward toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back, and groin. (Diagram shows a seated hamstring stretch.)
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch: With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place hands against a wall. Keep back leg straight and back foot flat on the floor. Bend front leg, lean forward, and move hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons, and ankles. (Diagram shows a calf stretch against a wall.)
4. Quadriceps Stretch: With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring heel as close to buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles. (Diagram shows a standing quadriceps stretch.)
5. Inner Thigh Stretch: Sit with soles of feet together and knees outward. Pull feet toward groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles. (Diagram shows a seated inner thigh stretch.)
