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

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.
