AEROBIC EXERCISE

Aerobic exercise is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your muscles via your heart and lungs. Aerobic exercise

improves the ﬁtness of your lungs and heart - your body’s most important muscle. Aerobic exercise ﬁtness is promoted

by any activity that uses your large muscle -arms, legs, or buttock, for example. Your heart beats quickly and you breathe

deeply. An aerobic exercise should be part of your entire exercise routine.

WEIGHT TRAINING

Along with aerobic exercising which helps get rid of and keep off the excess fat that our bodies can store, weight train-

ing is an essential part of the exercise routine process. Weight training helps tone, build and strengthen muscle. If you

are working above your target zone, you may want to do a lesser amount of reps. And as always consult your physician

before beginning any exercise program.

MUSCLE CHART

CYCLE

The exercise routine that is performed on the cycle will develop the lower body muscle group as well as condition the

circulatory system and provide a good aerobic workout . These muscle groups are highlighted on the muscle chart below.

5. FITNESS TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

6. 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, you must start slowly and increase your time on the equipment; a few minutes per workout.

Initially, you may be able to exercise only for a few minutes in your target zone, however, your aerobic ﬁtness will improve

over the next six to eight weeks. Don’t be discouraged if it takes longer. It’s important to work at your own pace. Ulti-

mately, you’ll be able to exercise continuously for 30 minutes. The better your aerobic ﬁtness, the harder you will have to

work to stay in your target zone. Please remember these essentials :

• Have your doctor review your training and diet programs to advise you of a workout routine you should adopt.

• Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your doctor.

• Monitor your pulse frequently. Establish your target heart rate based on your age and condition.

• Set up your equipment on a at, even surface at least 3 feet from walls and furniture.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

To maximize the beneﬁts of exercising, it is important to exercise with the

proper intensity. The proper intensity level can be found by using your heart

rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be

maintained at a level between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart rate

as you exercise. This is known as your target zone. You can ﬁnd your target

zone in the table below.

During the ﬁrst few months of your exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low end of your target zone as you

exercise. After a few months, your heart rate can be increased gradually until it is near the middle of your target zone as

you exercise.

To measure your heart rate, stop exercising but continue moving your legs or walking around and place two ﬁngers on

your wrist. Take a six-second heartbeat count and multiply the results 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-seconds count is used 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.

7. WARM-UP AND COOL-DOWN

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three parts:

A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body tem-

perature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.

Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone. (Note:

During the ﬁrst few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than

20 minutes.)

A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This will increase the ﬂexibility of your muscles and will help to prevent

post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, plan three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts.

After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to ﬁve workouts each week, if desired. Remember, the key

to success is make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you

stretch, never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips. Allow

your back and shoulders to relax as you reach down toward your toes as far as pos-

sible. 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 pos-

sible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Ham-

strings, 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 each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons,

bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.

4. Quadriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot with your

other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts,

then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

5. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. Pull your feet

toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3

times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
