EXERCISE GUIDELINES
FACTORS IN A SENSIBLE DIET
Choose high-fiber, low-fat, and low-sugar
• foods: fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
• Eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily.
• Reduce red meat consumption; eat lean meat, white meat, and fish.
• Choose healthful snacks; bring healthful foods with you to work or in the car.
• Eat regular meals or mini-meals. Control your portion size—don't binge or overeat. Eat slowly.
• Reduce fast food and pre-packaged meals.
• Pay attention to fat content and calories.
• Limit alcoholic beverages and caffeine.
• Drink at least eight to ten glasses of water daily.
Determine your target heart rate.
3
Your target heart rate (THR), is the rate at which you would like your heart to work during aerobic
xercise. It is expressed as a percentage of your
e maximum heart rate (MHR). MHR is the maximum number of times that your heart can pump during one minute. To determine your approximate MHR, subtract your age (in years) from 220. This is only an estimation of your MHR—only clinical stress testing can provide an actual MHR reading.
Once you have determined your MHR, you can establish your target heart rate zone. Beginning exercisers may wish to start at 60 to 70 percent of their MHR. This level is called the Health level. Exercise at 70 to 85 percent of your MHR for the optimal training, aerobic, or cardiovascular level— the Fitness level. Advanced exercisers, or those wishing to do sports, athletic conditioning, or inter­val training workouts should exercise at 80 to 85 percent of the MHR for short periods of time. The chart below shows Target Heart Rate Zones for Health, Fitness, and Advanced exercisers.
EXERCISE STEPS
The following nine steps for designing your exercise program were developed by exercise physiologists at FreeMotion Fitness. The actual exercise you perform is only a part of a safe and effective training program. There are many other aspects to developing a life-long commitment to physical fitness.
Consult your physician before beginning
1
any exercise program.
A medical examination or consultation with your physician is essential.
Establish personal fitness goals.
2
Set attainable, realistic goals. Reward yourself when you meet your goals. Remember, your goals should act as a guide for your workout program.
Be sure to check your heart rate at least twice during an aerobic conditioning session. First, check your heart rate five minutes into your work­out to be sure that you are at the proper intensity. Then, check it again near the end of your workout to verify that you have maintained your target heart rate for the recommended period of time.
TARGET HEART RATE ZONES
Beginner, low-intensity + long duration = fat burning
Optimal train­ing, aerobic or cardiovascular
Sports, athletic conditioning, interval training

EIGHT LOSS TIPS
W
At least four, 30-minute workouts per week, along with a reduced-calorie diet, are
ecommended if you are trying to lose weight.
r However, be sure to stay within your target heart rate zone and exercise a maximum of 5 days per week for 60 minutes per workout.
Good posture is the key to safe, comfortable workouts. Keep your chin up and your head facing forward. Align your head and shoulders with your hips. Avoid leaning forward. Keep your back straight.
Warm up before you begin.
4
A warm-up routine prepares your body and mind for vigorous exercise. It also helps provide insur­ance against injury and soreness. Warm up with two to five minutes of slow exercise, at minimal in­tensity.
3. 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.
each toward your toes as far as possible. Hold
R for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times
or both legs. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back,
f and groin.
4. Inner Thigh Stretch—Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
5. Quadriceps Stretch—With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
1
Stretch after your warm-up.
5
A pliable, well-stretched muscle is less suscepti­ble to injury. Perform the recommended stretches on a smooth, flat surface.
The correct form for several stretches is described below (see the drawings at the right). Be sure to move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch—Sit with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees, and back.
2. Calf/Achilles Stretch—With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward, and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, 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.

Effective aerobic exercise has three major parts: frequency, intensity, and time. The acronym "FIT" may help you to remember these three parts:
“F” stands for the frequency of your work-
F
outs. Three to five workouts per week are recommended. Exercise at least four times a week for weight loss.
“I” refers to the intensity of your workout.
I
Check your heart rate at least twice during your aerobic exercise session: once during the session and once again at the end. Maintain a workout intensity level within your Target Heart Rate Zone. You can measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or the method described below:
1. Lower your wrist below your heart level. This will make your heart rate stronger and easier to feel.
2. Using the tips of the index and middle fingers of your right hand, touch your left wrist, one-fourth inch from your wrist joint, at the base of your thumb.
3. Apply minimal pressure with both fingers—let the beat come to your fingers. If you can't find your pulse, use the opposite wrist and hand.
“T” is for the time or duration of your workout.
T
Beginning exercisers may wish to start with 5
to 10 minutes of aerobic activity. Those in aver-
ge physical condition should exercise for 20 to
a 30 minutes. Highly fit people, or people who want
o lose weight, should exercise for 30 to 60 min-
t utes. The key is to maintain your target heart rate for the duration of the workout period.
Remember to take it slowly. Fitness is a lifelong commitment. If you can't go the full 20 minutes from the start, which is common, try to exercise for five minutes at a time, a couple of times a day. Recent research indicates that several short workouts in one day can also provide fitness benefits. Gradually, your stamina will increase and it will become easier to exercise for longer periods of time.
Cool down after aerobic exercise.
7
Keep moving! It is important that you cool down properly to allow your heart rate to decrease slowly after it has been elevated. This helps the blood flow from your extremities back to your heart. Keep your legs moving on the INCLINE TRAINER at a slower pace for at least five min­utes following the aerobic phase.
Stretch again at the end of your exercise
8
session.
Stretching after exercise reduces muscle sore­ness. See step 5 on page 40.
Participate in strength training.
9
"Balanced fitness, including both strength training and aerobic exercise, can do more to ensure a happy life than just about anything else known to medical science today."
—Kenneth Cooper, M.D., M.P.H., founder of The Cooper Institute For Aerobic Research, Dallas, Texas.
A strength-training program increases your lean muscle mass. Lean muscle mass aids in burning body fat. With additional muscle mass and strength, you will receive the full benefits of an exercise program. You will also be less prone to injuries during the aerobic phase of your workout.

Full-body conditioning helps take care of many of life's aches and pains. However, it takes time for your body to adapt to any new routine. Below are some tips that will help ease you into your new FREEMOTION routine.
• Begin and end each exercise session with the stretches on page 40. Stretch in a smooth, controlled manner. Hold each stretch for 15 to 30 seconds. You may experience some initial muscle soreness and discomfort as a result of exercising inactive or poorly stretched muscles. For maximum benefit, a stretching routine must be performed every day.
• Be aware of your body's signals and react to them accordingly. At your correct exercise in­tensity, you should be able to whistle or main­tain a normal conversation. If during exercise you feel tired, light-headed, dizzy, or nauseated, stop exercising immediately and consult your physician. Your heart rate may also be affected by such things as stress, caffeine, nicotine, or prescription drugs.
WORKOUT PROGRAMS
The Health level typically lasts four to six weeks. At this level you should be concerned with slowly improv­ing your fitness level and endurance.
Take it slowly. Set mini-goals for yourself. You may want to begin your fitness routine with three or four short, 5- or 10-minute workouts in a day.
Move on to the Fitness Level only when you feel ready and your heart rate has moved below your target heart rate zone.
The Fitness level usually lasts 12 to 20 weeks. (It may
ast longer, depending on your fitness goals.) At this
l level you should strive to achieve your fitness goals.
Set realistic short- and long-term goals for yourself. Frequently re-evaluate your fitness goals and reward yourself as you are successful.
Move on to the Advanced Level when you have reached your fitness goals and your heart rate has moved below your target heart rate zone.
Work out at the Advanced level once you have reached your desired fitness goals. It is intended to be a maintenance program and should continue on a reg­ular, long-term basis.
You may wish to add Interval Training to your mainte­nance program as well. Interval training will add variety to your workout routine and further condition your cardiovascular system. Interval training has been shown to promote higher levels of aerobic condition­ing. It consists of spurts of high-intensity activity fol­lowed by active rest periods of exercise at a lower in­tensity. For example, a one-minute spurt of high-resis­tance, fast exercise is followed by a two- to three­minute active rest period of low-resistance, slow exer­cise. The duration of these periods should be based more on how you feel rather than time. A sequence such as this should be repeated 5 to 20 times during your workout session.
