CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for
several years or are severely overweight, start slowly a nd increase your workout time gradually. Increase
your workout intensity gradually, too, by monitoring your heart rate while you exercise.

Remember to follow these essentials:

Have your doctor review your training and diet programs.
Begin your training progra m slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your physician.
Warm up before you exercise and cool down after you work out.
Take your pulse periodically during your workout and strive to stay within a range of 60% (lower
intensity) to 90% (higher intensity) of your maximum he art rate zone. Start at the lower intensity and
build up to higher intensity as you become more aerobically fit.
If you feel dizzy or lightheaded you should slow down or stop exercising.

Initially you may only be able to exercise within your target zone for a few minutes; however , your a erobic
ca pa city will improve over the next six to e ight weeks. It is i mporta nt to pa ce yourself while you exercise so
you don’t tire too quickly.

To determine if you are working out at the correct intensity, use a he art rate monitor or use the table below .
For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be maintained at a level between 60% and 90% of
your maximum heart rate. If just starting a n exercise program, work out at the low end of your target heart
rate zone. As your a erobic ca pacity i mproves, gradually increase the intensity of your workout by increasing
your heart rate.

Measure your heart rate periodically during your workout by stopping the
exercise but continuing to move your legs or walk around. Place two or three
fingers on your wrist and take a six second heartbeat count. Multiply the
results by ten to find your heart rate. For exa mple, if your six second he artbeat
count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. A six second count is
used because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop exercising.
Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is at the proper level.

WARM-UP and COOL-DOWN

Warm-up The purpose of warming up is to prepare your body f or exercise and to mini mize injuries. Warm

up for two to five minutes before strength-training or aerobic exercising. Perform activities that raise your
heart rate and warm the working muscle s. Activitie s may include brisk walking, jogging, jumping ja cks, jump
rope, and running in place

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 in jury . Stretches should be held for 15 to 30 seconds.
Do not bounce.

Suggested Stretching Exercises

Lower Body Stretch

Place feet shoulder-width
apart and lean forward.
Keep this position for 30
seconds using the body as a
natural weight to stretch the
backs of the legs.
DO NOT BOUNCE!
When the pull on the back of
the legs lessen, try a lower
