During the first few weeks of your exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low end of your Training Zone. Over the course of a few months, gradually increase your heart rate until it reaches the high end of your Training Zone. As your condition improves, a greater workload will be required in order to raise your heart rate to your Training Zone. The easiest way to measure your heart rate is to stop exercising and place two fingers on your wrist as shown in the drawing. Carefully take a six-second heart beat count. Add a 0 to the result to find your heart rate. (A sixsecond count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly after you stop exercising.) If your heart rate is below your Training Zone, increase your level of exertion. If your heart rate is too high, decrease your level of exertion. PLANNING YOUR WORKOUT Every workout should consist of 5 important parts: 1. Resting, 2. Warming up, 3. Training Zone exercise, 4. Cooling down, 5. Resting. Warming up should be a part of every workout, preparing the body for exercise by increasing circulation, delivering more oxygen to the muscles, and raising body temperature. 5-10 minutes of stretching will provide a good warm-up. After warming up, begin exercising with low intensity. After a few minutes, increase the intensity of your exercise to raise your heart rate to your Training Zone for a period of 20-30 minutes. To aid circulation, and help prevent soreness, finish your workout with 5-10 minutes of stretching or light exercise. - 9

During
the
first
few
weeks
of
your
exercise
program,
keep
your
heart

near
the

Over
the

As
your

a

in

The

to

is
to

Carefully
take

count.
Add

(A

If
your

increase
your
level
of
exertion.
If

rate
is

PLANNING
YOUR
WORKOUT
Every
workout
should
consist
of
5
important
parts:
1.
Resting,
2.
Warming
up,
3.
Training
Zone
exercise,
4.
Cooling
down,
5.
Resting.
Warming
up
should
be
a
part
of
every
workout,
preparing
the
body
for
exercise
by
increasing
circulation,
delivering
more
oxygen
to the
muscles,
and
raising
body
temperature.
5-10
minutes
of
stretching
will
provide
a
good
warm-up.
After
warming
up,
begin
exercising
with
low
intensity.
After
a
few
minutes,
increase
the
intensity
of
your
exercise
to
raise
your
heart
rate
to
your
Training
Zone
for
a
period
of
20-30
minutes.
To
aid
circulation,
and
help
prevent
soreness,
finish
your
workout
with
5-10
minutes
of
stretching
or
light
exercise.
