CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for several years or are severely overweight, start slowly and increase your workout time gradually. Increase your workout intensity gradually by monitoring your heart rate while you exercise.
Remember to follow these essentials:

• Have your doctor review your training and diet programs.
• Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your physician.
• Warm up before you exercise and cool down after you work out.
• Take your pulse periodically during your workout and strive to stay within a range of 60% (lower intensity) to 90% (higher intensity) of your maximum heart rate zone. Start at the lower intensity, and build up to higher intensity as you become more aerobically fit.
• If you feel dizzy or lightheaded you should slow down or stop exercising.

Initially you may only be able to exercise within your target zone for a few minutes; however, your aerobiccapacity will improve over the next six to eight weeks. It is important to pace yourself while you exercise so you don’t tire too quickly.
To determine if you are working out at the correct intensity, use a heart rate monitor or use the table below. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be maintained at a level between 60%and 90% of your maximum heart rate. If just starting an exercise program, work out at the low end of your target heart rate zone. As your aerobic capacity improves, gradually increase the intensity of your workout by increasing your heart rate.
Measure your heart rate periodically during your workout by stopping the exercise but continuing to move your legs or walk around. Place two or three fingers on your wrist and take a six second heartbeat count. Multiply the results by ten to find your heart rate. For example, if your six second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. A six second count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop exercising. Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is at the proper level. Target Heart Rate Zone Estimated by Age*

Age| Target Heart Rate Zone (55%-90% of Maximum Heart Rate)| Average Maximum Heart Rate 100%
---|---|---
20 years| 110-180 beats per minute| 200 beats per minute
25 years| 107-175 beats per minute| 195 beats per minute
30 years| 105-171 beats per minute| 190 beats per minute
35 years| 102-166 beats per minute| 185 beats per minute
40 years| 99-162 beats per minute| 180 beats per minute
45 years| 97-157 beats per minute| 175 beats per minute
50 years| 94-153 beats per minute| 170 beats per minute
55 years| 91-148 beats per minute| 165 beats per minute
60 years| 88-144 beats per minute| 160 beats per minute
65 years| 85-139 beats per minute| 155 beats per minute
70 years| 83-135 beats per minute| 150 beats per minute

• For cardiorespiratory training benefits, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends working out within a heart rate range of 55% to 90% of maximum heart rate. To predict the maximum heart rate, the following formula was used: 220 – Age = predicted maximum heart rate

WARM-UP and COOL-DOWN

Warm-Up
The purpose of warming up is to prepare your body for exercise and to minimize injuries.
Warm up for two to five minutes before strength training or aerobic exercising. Perform activities that raise your heart rate and warm the working muscles. Activities may include brisk walking, jogging, jumping jacks, jump rope, and running in place.
Cool-Down
The purpose of cooling down is to return the body to its normal, or near normal, resting state at the end of each exercise session. A proper cool-down slowly lowers your heart rate and allows blood to return to the heart. Your cool down should be completed after each strength training session.
