THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS

Muscle Building

The only way to increase the size and strength of your muscles is to push them close to their maximum capacity. When you progressively increase the intensity of your exercise, your muscles will continually adapt and grow. You can tailor the individual exercise to the proper intensity level 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 obviously 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

Many people desire a complete and well-balanced fitness program, and cross training is a very efficient way to accomplish this. One example of a balanced program is:

• Plan weight training workouts on Monday,

Wednesday and Friday.

• Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as

cycling, running or swimming on Tuesday and Thursday.

• Rest from both weight training and aerobic exercise

for at least one full day each week to give your body

time to regenerate. The combination of weight training and aerobic exercise will reshape and strengthen your body, and develop your heart and lungs.

PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM

Specifying the exact length of time for each workout, as well as the number of repetitions or sets for each exercise, is a highly individual matter. It is very 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 with emphasis on the areas that you want to develop the most. To give balance and variety to your workouts, vary the exercises from session to session.

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

You will gain the greatest benefits from exercising by maintaining proper form. 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 poster accompanying this manual, you will find photographs showing the correct form for several exercises. A description of each exercise is also provided, along with a list of the muscles affected. Refer to the muscle chart on page 12 to find the locations of the muscles.

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.

Exercise Guidelines

Page 12

You should rest for a short period of time after each set. The ideal resting periods are:

• Rest three minutes after each set for a muscle build-

ing workout

• Rest one minute after each set for a toning workout

• Rest 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss

workout Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarizing 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 each stretch gradually and go only as far as you can

without strain. Stretching at the end of each workout is very effective for increasing flexibility.

STAYING MOTIVATED

For motivation, keep a record of each workout. The chart on page 13 of this manual can be photocopied and used to schedule and record your workouts. List the date, the exercises performed, the weight plus 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.
