EXERCISE INTENSITY To maximize the benefits from 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, the heart rate must be maintained at a level between 70% and 85% of your maximum heart rate. This is your "training zone." You can find 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.

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. 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, and exercise at a comfortable pace until the 4 minutes elapse. Measure your heart rate immediately using the Pulse function. If your heart rate is below your training zone, increase your levelof exertion. If your heart rate is too high, reduce your level of exertion. WORKOUT PATTERN 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. EXERCISE FREQUENCY To maintain or,intwprove 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, 12 the number of workouts can be increased to 4-5 per week. The key to a successful program is CONSISTENCY.

EXERCISE
INTENSITY
To
maximize
the
benefits
from
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,
the
heart
rate
must
be
maintained
at
a
level
between
70%
and
85%
of
your
maximum
heart
rate.
This
is
your
"training
zone."
You
can find
your
training
zone
by
consulting
the
table
below.
Training
zones
are
listed
for
both
conditioned
and
unconditioned
persons
according
to
age.
Use
the

that
is

for
you.

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.
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,
and
exercise
at
a
comfortable
pace
until
the
4
minutes
elapse.
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
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.
EXERCISE
FREQUENCY
To
maintain
or
,
intwprove
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
increased
to
4-5
per
week.
The
key
to
a
successful
program
is
CONSISTENCY.
