TRAINING GUIDELINES
Exercise
Exercise is one of the most important factors in the overall health of an individual. Listed
among its benefits are:
xIncreased capacity for physical work (strength endurance)
xIncreased cardiovascular (heart and arteries/veins) and respiratory efficiency
xDecreased risk of coronary heart disease
xChanges in body metabolism, e.g. losing weight
xDelaying the physiological effects of age
xPhysiological effects, e.g. reduction in stress, increase in self-confidence, etc.
Basic Components of Physical Fitness
There are four all encompassing components of physical fitness and we need to briefly
define each and clarify its role.
Strength is the capacity of a muscle to exert a force against resistance. Strength
contributes to power and speed and is of great importance to a majority of sports
people.
Muscular Endurance is the capacity to exert a force repeatedly over a period of time,
e.g. it is the capacity of your legs to carry you 10 Km without stopping.
Flexibility is the range of motion about a joint. Improving flexibility involves the
stretching of muscles and tendons to maintain or increase suppleness, and provides
increased resistance to muscle injury or soreness.
Cardio-Respiratory Endurance is the most essential component of physical fitness. It is the
efficient functioning of the heart and lungs
Aerobic Fitness
The largest amount of oxygen that you can use per minute during exercise is called your
maximum oxygen uptake (MVo2). This is often referred to as your aerobic capacity.
The effort that you can exert over a prolonged period of time is limited by your ability to
deliver oxygen to the working muscles. Regular vigorous exercise produces a training effect
that can increase your aerobic capacity by as much as 20 to 30%. An increased MVO2
indicates an increased ability of the heart to pump blood, of the lungs to ventilate oxygen
and of the muscles to take up oxygen.
Anaerobic Training
This means “without oxygen” and is the output of energy when the oxygen supply is
insufficient to meet the body’s long term energy demands. (For example, 100 meter sprint).
The Training Threshold
This is the minimum level of exercise which is required to produce significant improvements
in any physical fitness parameter.
Progression
As your become fitter, a higher intensity of exercise is required to create an overload and
therefore provide continued improvement
Overload
This is where you exercise at a level above that which can be carried out comfortably. The
intensity, duration and frequency of exercise should be above the training threshold and
should be gradually increased as the body adapts to the increasing demands. As your
fitness level improves, so the training threshold should be raised.
Working through your program and gradually increasing the overload factor is important.

Customer Service 1-888-707-1880 ©2009
16
Specificity
Different forms of exercise produce different results. The type of exercise that is carried out
is specific both to the muscle groups being used and to the energy source involved.
There is little transfer of the effects of exercise, i.e. from strength training to cardiovascular
fitness. That is why it is important to have an exercise program tailored to your specific
needs.
Reversibility
If you stop exercising or do not do your program often enough, you will lose the benefits you
have gained. Regular workouts are the key to success.
Warm Up
Every exercise program should start with a warm up where the body is prepared for the
effort to come. It should be gentle and preferably use the muscles to be involved later.
Stretching should be included in both your warm up and cool down, and should be
performed after 3-5 minutes of low intensity aerobic activity or callisthenic type exercise.
Warm Down or Cool Down
This involves a gradual decrease in the intensity of the exercise session. Following exercise,
a large supply of blood remains in the working muscles. If it is not returned promptly to the
central circulation, pooling of blood may occur in the muscles
Heart Rate
As you exercise, so the rate at which your heart beat also increases. This is often used as a
measure of the required intensity of exercise. You need to exercise hard enough to
condition your circulatory system, and increase your pulse rate, but not enough to strain
your heart.
Your initial level of fitness is important in developing an exercise program for you. If you are
starting off, you can get a good training effect with a heart rate of 110-120 beats per
minute(BPM). If you are fitter, you will need a higher threshold of stimulation.
To begin with, you should exercise at a level that elevates your heart rate to about 65 to
70% of your maximum. If you find this is too easy, you may want to increase it, but it is better
to lean on the conservative side.
As a rule of thumb, the maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. As you increase in age,
so your heart, like other muscles, loses some of its efficiency. Some of its natural loss is won
back as fitness improves.
The following table is a guide to those who are “starting fitness”.
Age 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65
Target heart Rate
10Second Count 23 22 22 21 20 19 19 18 18
Beats per Minute 138 132 132 126 120 114 114 108 108
Pulse Count
The pulse count(on your wrist or carotid artery in the neck, taken with two index fingers)is
done for ten seconds, taken a few seconds after you stop exercising. This is for two reasons:
(a) 10 seconds is long enough for accuracy, (b) the pulse count is to approximate your BPM
rate at the time you are exercising. Since heart rate slows as you recover, a longer count
isn’t as accurate.
The target is not a magic number, but a general guide. If you’re above average fitness, you
may work quite comfortably a little above that suggested for your age group.
The following table is a guide to those who are keeping fit. Here we are working at about
80% of maximum.

Don’t push yourself too hard to reach the figures on this table. It can be very uncomfortable if
you overdo it. Let it happen naturally as you work through your program. Remember, the
target is a guide, not a rule, a little above or below is just fine.
Two final comments:(1) don’t be concerned with day to day variations in your pulse rate,
being under pressure or not enough sleep can affect it;(2) your pulse rate is a guide, don’t
become a slave to it.
Endurance Circuit Training
Cardiovascular endurance, muscle, strength, flexibility and coordination are all necessary
for maximum fitness. The principle behind circuit training is to give a person all the
essentials at one time by going through your exercise program moving as fast as possible
between each exercise. This increases the heart rate and sustains it, which improves the
fitness level. Do not introduce this circuit training effect until you have reached an advanced
program stage.
Body Building
Is often used synonymously with strength training The fundamental principal here is
OVERLOAD. Here, the muscle works against greater loads than usual. This can be done by
increasing the load you are working against.
Patronization
This is the term used to vary your exercise program for both physiological and psychological
benefits. In your overall program, you should vary the workload, frequency and intensity.
The body responds better to variety and so do you. In addition, when you feel yourself
getting “stale’, bring in periods of lighter exercise to allow the body to recuperate and restore
its reserves. You will enjoy your program more and feel better for it.
Muscle Soreness
For the first week or so, this may be the only indication you have that you are on an exercise
program. This, of course, does depend on your overall fitness level. A confirmation that you
are on the correct program is a very slight soreness in most major muscle groups. This is
quite normal and will disappear in a matter of days.
If you experience major discomfort, you may be on a program that is too advanced or you
have increased your program too rapidly.
If you experience PAIN during or after exercise, your body is telling your something.
Stop exercising and consult your doctor.
What to Wear
Wear clothing that will not restrict your movement in any way while exercising. Clothes
should be light enough to allow the body to cool. Excessive clothing that causes you to
perspire more than you normally would while exercising, gives you no advantage. The extra
weight you lose is body fluid and will be replaced with the next glass of water you drink. It is
advisable to wear a pair of gym or running shoes or “sneakers”.
Breathing during Exercise
Do not hold your breath while exercising. Breathe normally as much as possible. Remember,
breathing involves the intake and distribution of oxygen, which feeds the working muscles.
Rest periods
Once you start your exercise program, you should continue through to the end. Do not break
off halfway through and then restart at the same place later on without going through the
warm-up stage again.
The rest period required between strength training exercises may vary from person to
person. This will depend mostly on your level of fitness and the program you have chosen.
Rest between exercises by all means, but do not allow this to exceed two minutes. Most
people manage with half minute to one minute rest periods

STRETCHING
Stretching should be included in both your warm up and cool down, and should be
performed after 3-5 minutes of low intensity aerobic activity or callisthenic type exercise.
Movements should be performed slowly and smoothly, with no bouncing or jerking. Move
into the stretch until slight tension, not pain, is felt in the muscle and hold for 20-30 seconds.
Breathing should be slow, rhythmical and under control, making sure never to hold your
breath.
