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.
