EXERCISE GUIDELINES
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
The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is intended only as an exercise aid in determin- ing heart rate trends in general.
These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician. Remember, proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten- sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near- est ten years). The three numbers listed above your age define your ???training zone.??? The lowest number is the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Cooling
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months of regular exer- cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
22
STRENGTH TRAINING GUIDELINES
During strength exercises, you must maintain proper form for the best results. Maintaining proper form involves 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 reduce the benefits of strength exercises. On the exer- cise chart accompanying this manual are photographs showing the correct form for several strength exercis- es.
Perform each repetition of each strength exercise smoothly and without pausing. The exertion phase of each repetition should last only about half as long as the return phase. Proper breathing is also important. Exhale during the exertion phase of each repetition and inhale during the return
To increase the size and strength of your muscles, you must work your muscles at a level close to their maxi- mum capacity. Your muscles will adapt and grow as you progressively increase the amount of weight that you use. You can tone your muscles by working them at a moderate percentage of their capacity. The proper amount of weight to use for each strength exercise depends on
It is important to avoid overdoing it during the first few months of your exercise program. 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 cool down. Find out what is wrong before continuing. Remember that ade- quate rest and a proper diet are important factors in any exercise program.
