AEROBIC EXERCISE
Aerobic exercise is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your muscles via your heart and lungs. Aerobic
exercise improves the tness of your lungs and heart − your body’s most important muscle. Aerobic exercise
tness is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscles (arms, legs, or buttock, for example).Your heart
beats quickly and you breathe deeply. An aerobic exercise should form part of your entire exercise routine.
WEIGHT TRAINING
Along with aerobic exercising which helps get rid of and keep off the excess fat that our bodies can store,
weight training is an essential part of the exercise routine process.Weight training helps tone, build and
strengthen muscle. If you are working above your target zone, you may want to do a lesser amount of reps.
Always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
MUSCLE CHART
Trojan 5 Minute Shaper Plank
The exercise routine that is performed on the Trojan 5 Minute Shaper Plank will develop the full body
muscle group as well as condition the circulatory system and provide a good aerobic workout.These muscle
groups are highlighted on the muscle chart below.

How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for
several years, or are severely overweight, you must start slowly and increase your time on the equipment, a
few minutes per workout.
Initially, you may be able to exercise only for a few minutes in your target zone, however, your aerobic tness
will improve over the next six to eight weeks. Don’t be discouraged if it takes longer. It’s important to work
atyourownpace.Ultimately,you’llbeabletoexercisecontinuouslyfor30minutes.Thebetteryouraerobic
tness, the harder you will have to work to stay in your target zone. Please remember these essentials:
• Have your doctor review your training and diet programs to advise you of a workout routine you
should adopt.
• Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your doctor.
• Monitor your pulse frequently.
• Establish your target heart rate based on your age and condition.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
To maximise the benets of exercising, it is important to
exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensity
level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide.
For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should
be maintained at a level between 65% and 85% of your
maximum heart rate as you exercise.This is known as your
target zone.You can nd your target zone in the table below.
During the rst few months of your exercise program, keep
your heart rate near the low end of your target zone as
you exercise. After a few months, your heart rate can be
increased gradually until it is near the middle of your target
zone as you exercise.
To measure your heart rate, stop exercising but continue
moving your legs or walking around and place two ngers
on your wrist. Take a six second heartbeat count and
multiply the results by 10 to nd your heart rate. For
example, if your six second heartbeat count is 14, your
heartrateis140beatsperminute.(Asixsecondcountis
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.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

A warm-up: 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart
rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
