EXERCISE GUIDELINES
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
Muscle Building
o increase the size and strength of your muscles,
T push them close to their maximum capacity. Your mus­cles will adapt and grow as you progressively increase the intensity of your exercise. You can adjust the inten­sity level of an individual exercise in two ways:
• by changing the amount of weight used
• by changing the number of repetitions or sets per-
formed. (A “repetition” is one complete cycle of an exercise, such as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of repetitions.)
The proper amount of weight for each exercise depends upon the individual user. You must gauge your limits and select the amount of weight that is right for you. Begin with 3 sets of 8 repetitions for each exercise you perform. Rest for 3 minutes after each set. When you can complete 3 sets of 12 repetitions without difficulty, increase the amount of weight.
Toning
You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a mod­erate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate amount of weight and increase the number of repeti­tions in each set. Complete as many sets of 15 to 20 repetitions as possible without discomfort. Rest for 1 minute after each set. Work your muscles by complet­ing more sets rather than by using high amounts of weight.
Weight Loss
To lose weight, use a low amount of weight and increase the number of repetitions in each set. Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, resting for a maximum of 30 seconds between sets.
Cross Training
Cross training is an ef well-balanced fitness program. An example of a bal­anced program follows:
Plan strength training workouts on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday.
• Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as
running on a treadmill or riding on an exercise cycle or an elliptical exerciser
• Rest from both strength training and aerobic exercise
for at least one full day each week to give your body time to regenerate.
The combination of strength training and aerobic exer­cise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus devel­op your heart and lungs.

PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
Determining the appropriate length of time for each
orkout, and the numbers of repetitions and sets to
w complete, is an individual matter. It is important to avoid overdoing it during the first few months of your exercise program. You should progress at your own pace and be sensitive to your body’s signals. If you experience pain or dizziness at any time while exercis­ing, stop immediately and begin cooling down. Find out what is wrong before continuing. Remember that adequate rest and a proper diet are important factors in any exercise program.
WARMING UP
Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise to warm up. Warming up prepares your body for more strenuous exercise by increasing circulation, raising your body temperature and deliver­ing more oxygen to your muscles.
WORKING OUT
Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercis­es. Select exercises for every major muscle group, emphasizing areas that you want to develop the most. To give balance and variety to your workouts, vary the exercises from workout to workout.
Schedule your workouts for the time of day when your energy level is the highest. Each workout should be followed by at least one day of rest. Once you find the schedule that is right for you, stick with it.
EXERCISE FORM
Maintaining proper form is an essential part of an effective exercise program. This requires moving through the full range of motion for each exercise, and moving only the appropriate parts of the body. Exercising in an uncontrolled manner will leave you feeling exhausted. On the exercise guide accompany ing this manual you will find photographs showing the correct form for several exercises, and a list of the muscles affected.
The repetitions in each set should be performed smoothly and without pausing. The exertion stage of each repetition should last about half as long as the return stage. Proper breathing is important. Exhale during the exertion stage of each repetition and inhale during the return stroke. Never hold your breath.

Rest for a short period of time after each set. The
deal resting periods follow:
i
• Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle
uilding workout.
b
• Rest for one minute after each set for a toning work-
out.
• Rest for 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss
orkout.
w lan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarizing
P yourself with the equipment and learning the proper form for each exercise.
COOLING DOWN
End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move
slowly as you stretch and do not bounce. Ease into
ach stretch gradually and go only as far as you can
e without strain. Stretching at the end of each workout
s an effective way to increase flexibility.
i
STAYING MOTIVATED
or motivation, keep a record of each workout. List the
F
ate, the exercises performed, the weight used, and
d the numbers of sets and repetitions completed. Record your weight and key body measurements at the end of every month. Remember, the key to achieving the greatest results is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
