CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for
several years or are severely overweight, start slowly and increase your workout time gradually. Increase
your workout intensity gradually, too, by monitoring your heart rate while you exercise.
Remember to follow these essentials:
Have your doctor review your training and diet programs.
Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your physician.
Warm up before you exercise and cool down after you work out.
Take your pulse periodically during your workout and strive to stay within a range of 60% (lower
intensity) to 90% (higher intensity) of your maximum heart rate zone. Start at the lower intensity and
build up to higher intensity as you become more aerobically fit.
If you feel dizzy or lightheaded you should slow down or stop exercising.
Initially you may only be able to exercise within your target zone for a few minutes; however, your aerobic
capacity will improve over the next six to eight weeks. It is important to pace yourself while you exercise so
you don't tire too quickly.
To determine if you are working out at the correct intensity, use a heart rate monitor or use the table below.
For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be maintained at a level between 60% and 90% of
your maximum heart rate. If just starting an exercise program, work out at the low end of your target heart
rate zone. As your aerobic capacity improves, gradually increase the intensity of your workout by increasing
your heart rate.
Measure your heart rate periodically during your workout by stopping the
exercise but continuing to move your legs or walk around. Place two or three
fingers on your wrist and take a six second heartbeat count. Multiply the results
by ten 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
wrist pulse
because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop exercising. Adjust the
intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is at the proper level.

*For cardiorespiratory training benefits, theAmerican College of Sports Medicine recommends working
out within a heart rate range of 55% to 90% of maximum heart rate. To predict the maximum heart
rate, the following formula was used: 220 - Age = predicted maximum heart rate

WARM-UP and COOL-DOWN
Warm-up The purpose of warming up is to prepare your body for exercise and to minimize injuries. Warm
up for two to five minutes before strength-training or aerobic exercising. Perform activities that raise your
heart rate and warm the working muscles. Activities may include brisk walking, jogging, jumping jacks, jump
rope, and running in place
Stretching Stretching while your muscles are warm after a proper warm-up and again after your strength
or aerobic training session is very important. Muscles stretch more easily at these times because of their
elevated temperature, which greatly reduces the risk of injury. Stretches should be held for 15 to 30 seconds.
Do not bounce.
Suggested Stretching Exercises
Lower Body Stretch
Place feet shoulder-width
apart and lean forward.
Keep this position for 30
seconds using the body as a
natural weight to stretch the
backs of the legs.
Floor Stretch
While sitting on the floor,
open the legs as wide as
possible. Stretch the upper
body toward the knee on the
right leg by using your arms
to pull your chest to your
thighs. Hold this stretch 10
to 30 seconds.
DO NOT BOUNCE!
When the pull on the back of
the legs lessen, try a lower
position gradually.
DO NOT BOUNCE!
Do this stretch 10 times.
Repeat the stretch with the
left leg.
Bent Torso Pulls
Bent Over Leg Stretch
Stand with feet shoulder-
width apart and lean forward
as illustrated. Using the
arms, gently pull the upper
body towards the right leg.
Let the head hang down.
DO NOT BOUNCE!
Hold the position a minimum
of 10 seconds. Repeat
pulling the upper body to the
left leg. Do this stretch
several times slowly.
While sitting on the floor,
have legs apart one leg
straight and one knee bent.
Pull the chest down to touch
the thigh on the leg that is
bent and twist at the waist.
Hold this position at least 10
seconds. Repeat 10 times
on each side.
Remember always to check with your physician before starting any exercise program.
Cool-Down The purpose of cooling down is to return the body to its normal, or near normal, resting state
at the end of each exercise session. A proper cool-down slowly lowers your heart rate and allows blood to
return to the heart. Your cool-down should include the stretches listed above and should be completed after
each strength-training session.
