CONDITIONING GUIDELINES The following guidelines will help you to plan and regulate your personal fitness program. Remember that adequate rest and good nutrition are essential to the success of any fitness program. Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. EXERCISE INTENSITY To maximize the benefits of exercising, your level of exertion must exceed mild demands while falling short of causing breathlessness and fatigue. The proper level of exertion can be determined using the heart rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate must be maintained at a level between 70% and 85% of your maximum heart rate. This is your "Training Zone." You can determine your Training Zone by consulting the table below. Training Zones are listed for both conditioned and unconditioned persons according to age. Use the column that is appropriate for you.
