CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
WARNING: Before beginning this or any exer­cise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom­mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burn­ing, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). Next, look above your age and find the three numbers in light grey boxes. The three numbers are your “training zone.” The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for fat burning; the middle number is the recommended heart rate for maximum fat burning; the highest number is the rec­ommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust your pace until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training
one as you exercise.
z
Maximum Fat Burning
For increased fat burning, adjust your pace until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys­tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise, adjust your pace until your heart rate is near the high­est number in your training zone.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart rate, first exercise for at least four minutes. Then, stop exercising and place two fingers on your wrist as shown. Take a six-second heartbeat count, and multiply the result by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your six-second heart­beat 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 your pace until your heart rate is at the desired level.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative­ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener­gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
A warm-up, lasting 5 to 10 minutes. Begin with slow, controlled stretches, and progress to more rhythmic stretches to increase the body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for strenuous exercise. (Refer to SUGGESTED STRETCHES on page 8.)
7
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone. (See the chart on page 7 to find your training
one.)
z
cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
A
Thorough stretching offsets muscle contractions and other problems caused when you stop exercising sud­denly. Stretching for increased flexibility is also most effective after exercising. A proper cool-down should
SUGGESTED STRETCHES
leave you relaxed and comfortably tired.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three
orkouts each week, with at least one day of rest
w between workouts. After a few months of regular exer­cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, if desired. The key to success is make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
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 your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and back.
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 your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for both legs. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and groin.
3. 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 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for both legs. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.

4. 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 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for both legs. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
