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 work load will be required in order to raise your heart rate to your Training Zone. You can measure your heart rate and find the proper level of exercise intensity using the electronic monitor (see the ELECTRONIC MONITOR OPERATION GUIDE). Set the monitor for 4 minutes. Press the "START/STOP" key and exercise at a comfortable pace until the 4 minutes are elapsed. Measure your heart rate immediately using the Pulse function. If your heart rate is below your Training Zone, increase your level of exertion. If your heart rate is too high, reduce your level of exertion. WORKOUT PATTERN Each workout should consist of 5 basic stages: 1. Resting, 2. Warming Up, 3. Training Zone Exercise, 4. Cooling Down, 5. Resting. Warming up is an important part of every workout. Warming up prepares the body for more strenuous exercise by increasing circulation, delivering more oxygen to the muscles, and raising body temperature. This can be done by stretching for 5-10 minutes prior to exercising. After warming up, begin exercising at a low intensity level for a few minutes. Then increase the intensity of your exercise to raise your heart rate to your Training Zone for a period of 20-30 minutes. Cooling down after vigorous exercise is important in aiding circulation and preventing soreness. 5-10 minutes of stretching or light exercise will provide an adequate cool-down. EXERCISE FREQUENCY To maintain or improve your condition, you must work out 2-3 times per week following the pattern described above. A day of rest between workouts is recommended. After several months of exercise, the number of workouts can be increase to 4-5 per week. The key to a successful program is REGULAR exercise. 12
