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 increa se 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 aerobic 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 heart rate monitor or use the ta ble 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 increa sing 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.

For cardiorespiratory training benefits, the American College of Sports Medicine re commends working

out within a heart rate range of 55% to 90% of maxi mum he art rate. To predict the maximum heart rate, the following formula was used: 220 - Age = predicted maximum heart rate

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. W arm

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 position gradually.

Bent Torso Pulls

While sitting on the floor, have legs apart one leg straight and one knee bent. Pull the chest down to touch the thigh on the leg that is bent and twist at the waist. Hold this position at least 10 seconds. Repeat 10 times on each side.

Floor Stretch

While sitting on the floor, open the legs as wide as possible. Stretch the upper body toward the knee on the right leg by using your arms to pull your chest to your thighs. Hold this stretch 10 to 30 seconds. DO NOT BOUNCE! Do this stretch 10 times. Repeat the stretch with the left leg.

Bent Over Leg Stretch

Stand with feet shoulderwidth apart and lean forward as illustrated. Using the arms, gently pull the upper body towards the right leg. Let the head hang down. DO NOT BOUNCE! Hold the position a minimum of 10 seconds. Repeat pulling the upper body to the left leg. Do this stretch several times slowly.

Remember always to check with your physician before starting a ny exercise program.

Cool-Down The purpose of cooling down is to return the body to its normal, or near normal, resting state

at the end of ea ch exercise se ssion. A proper cool-down slowly lowers your heart rate and allows blood to return to the heart. Y our cool-down should include the stretche s listed above a nd should be completed after each strength-training session.
