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.
your training zone in the table below. Training zones
are listed according to age and physical condition.
During the first few months of your exercise program,
keep your heart rate near the low end of your training
zone as you exercise. After a few months of regular
exercise, your heart rate can be increased gradually
until it is near the middle of your training zone as you
exercise.
WARNING: Before beginning this or any
exercise program, consult your physician.
This is especially important for individuals
over the age of 35 or individuals withpre-
existing health problems.
To measure your
heart rate, place
two fingers on
your wrist as
WHY EXERCISE?
shown. Stop exer-
cising and take a
six-second heart-
beat count.
Multiply the result
by ten to find your
heart rate. (A six-second count is used because your
heart rate drops quickly when you stop exercising.) If
your heart rate is too high, decrease the intensity of
your exercise. If your heart rate is too low, increase
the intensity of your exercise.
Exercise has proven essential for good health and
general well-being. Regular participation in a well-
rounded exercise program results in a stronger and
more efficient heart, improved respiratory function,
increased stamina and endurance, better weight man-
agement and body fat control, increased ability to deal
with stress, and greater self-esteem and confidence.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important
to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper inten- WORKOUT GUIDELINES
sity level can be found by using your heart rate as a

should be maintained at a level between 70% and
85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise.
This is known as your training zone. You can find
A warm-up phase, lasting 5 to 10 minutes. Begin with

stretching. Thorough stretching offsets muscle con-
tractions and other problems caused when you stop
exercising suddenly. Stretching for increased flexibility
is often most effective during this phase. This phase
should leave you relaxed and comfortably tired.
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. Find the best time of day for your
workouts, and then stick with it.
Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
