Fitness
What is fitness? In general a fitness exercise can be described as an activity that makes your heart pump more oxygen from your lungs to your muscles by means of circulating the blood. The more strenuous the training, the more fuel (oxygen) the muscles need and the more work the heart has to do to pump oxygen rich blood to the muscles. If you are in good physical shape your heart can pump more blood to the muscle with each contraction. This means the heart doesn’t have to contract as many times to transport the necessary oxygen to your muscles. Your resting heart beat and heart beat when exercising will therefore decrease.
3.1 Training by heart rate
While training it is important to monitor your heart rate. The heart rate is
essential for the result of your training. Your best training heart rate
depends firstly on your age. Your maximum heart beat can be determined by
this. Secondly the most effective heart rate depends on your training goals.
If your training goal is to lose weight, then the most effective training is
at 60% of your maximum heart rate. If your training goal is to improve your
stamina, then you should train at 80% of your maximum heart rate.
The body stores energy in two forms: carbohydrates and fat. When we exercise
we use a combination of these two energy supplies. If the training intensity
is at a high level the body will mostly choose the energy that burns fast:
carbohydrates. Since there is a limited supply of these carbohydrates you
can’t continue this for a long period of time. When training at a low
intensity the body will mostly choose to use a long lasting source of energy:
fat. Since this is stored in large quantities in the body, you can continue
this kind of training for a longer time.
Below you will find a schedule allowing you to calculate the best heart rate
for your training. In this schedule each age category has a range that your
heart rate should be in during your training. The middle column has the values
you should try to maintain if you
want to lose weight. If you want to improve your stamina you should try to
maintain therates in the right column.
Age| Weight lost (beats per minute) 60%| Improve stamina (beats per minute)
85%
---|---|---
20 -24| 120 – 118| 170 -167
25 – 29| 117 – 115| 166 – 163
30 – 34| 114 – 112| 162 – 158
35 – 39| 111 – 109| 157 – 154
40 – 44| 108 – 106| 153 – 150
45 – 49| 105 – 103| 149 – 145
50 – 54| 102 – 100| 144 – 141
55 – 59| 99 – 97| 140 – 137
60 and older| 96 – 94| 136 – 133
For each individual the best way to start training is different. If you have
not exercised in some time or are overweight, you should start your training
schedule slowly and gradually increase the level of activity.
In the last chapter of this instruction manual you will find several different
training schedules (chapter 5. general information). You can use these
schedules to reach your training goals. The schedules are divided in two
phases. The first phase can be used for beginners or persons who start
training after a long period of inactivity. During this phase the level of
intensity is built up gradually. After six weeks the second phase begins. You
can then choose a training schedule to lose weight or improve your stamina.
3.2 Warming up and cooling down
A good training schedule starts with a good warming up and ends with a cooling down of the muscles. This will prevent painful muscles and injury. Below you will find some suitable exercises.
Head Roll
Tilt your head to the right. Hold this for one second, so that you feel a
little pull in the muscles on the left side of your neck. Do the same for the
other side, front and back. Repeat two or three times.
Toe Touch
Slowly bend forward with your back and arms relaxed. Bend as far as you can
and hold the position for ten seconds. Repeat this two or three times.
Side Stretch
Extend both your arms up in the air and reach as high as you can with your
right arm. Lean a bit to the left so that the muscles in the right side of
your torso are stretched. Hold this position for one second. Relax and make
the same motion on the other side of your body. Repeat this three or four
times.
Knee bend
Set your feet shoulder-width apart and your stretched your hands out. Lower
yourself no more than 10cm by bending your knees. Come back up again and
repeat several times.
Lower back stretch
Begin on all fours. Stretch your arms out in front of you, allowing your face
to lower to a position near the floor. Gently sit back. Rest your glutes just
above your heels. Ease back and feel the gentle stretch in your lower back.
Hamstring Stretch
Sit down on the floor with your right leg extended in front of you and place
the sole of your left foot on the inside of your right upper leg. Bend forward
in the direction of your right foot and hold this position for ten seconds.
