AEROBIC EXERCISE
Aerobic exercise is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your muscles via your heart and lungs.
Aerobic exercise improves the fitness of your lungs and heart - your body’s most important muscle.
Aerobic exercise fitness is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscle -arms, legs,or buttock,for example.
Your heart beats quickly and you breathe deeply. An aerobic exercise should be part of your entire exercise routine.
WEIGHTTRAINING
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 less amount of reps.
And as always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
MUSCLE CHART
HOME GYMS
The exercise routine that is performed on the Home Gym will develop the lower and upper body muscle groups as well
as condition the circulatory system.These muscle groups are highlighted on the muscle chart below.
9.FITNESSTIPSANDTECHNIQUES

1061M-16
10.CONDITIONINGGUIDELINES
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 fitness will improve
over the next six to eight weeks.Don’t be discouraged if it takes longer.It’s important to work at your own pace.Ulti-
mately,you’ll be able to exercise continuously for 30 minutes.The better your aerobic fitness,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.
• Set up your equipment on a flat,even surface at least 3 feet from walls and furniture.
EXERCISEINTENSITY
To maximize the benefits 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 find your target
zone in the table below.
During the first 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 fingers on
your wrist.Take a six-second heartbeat count and multiply the results by 10 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-seconds 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.

11.WARM-UPANDCOOL-DOWN
WORKOUTGUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up,consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise.A proper warm-up increases your body tem-
perature,heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
Training zone exercise,consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone.(Note:
During the first few weeks of your exercise program,do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than
20 minutes.)
A cool-down,with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help to prevent
post-exercise problems.
EXERCISEFREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three workouts each week,with at least one day of rest between workouts.
After a few months of regular exercise,you may complete up to five workouts each week,if desired.Remember,the key
to success is make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
SUGGESTEDSTRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.Move slowly as you
stretch-never bounce.

your back and shoulders to relax as you reach down toward your toes as far as pos-
sible. Hold for 15 counts,then relax.Repeat 3 times.Stretches:Hamstrings,back of
knees and back.
2.Hamstring Stretch

strings,lower back and groin.

wall.Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your
front leg,lean forward and move your hips toward the wall.Hold for 15 counts,then
relax.Repeat 3 times for each leg.To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons,
bend your back leg as well. Stretches:Calves,achilles tendons and ankles.

other hand.Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as possible.Hold for 15 counts,

12.EXERCISEPROGRAM
DEVELOPING AN EXERCISE PROGRAMME
For the first month of training you should allow your body to adjust to its new workload.For the 2 to 4 weeks
you should only perform one work set of each exercise,only increasing the number of sets you perform after
this adjustment period.
Develop your workout according to the time available to you and remember,the more effort you put in,the
greater the benefits and the quicker you will see results.
DIET
Diet is a very important aspect of any fitness programme.A balanced diet will help you get to your goal weight.
For tips on diet,check out our website www.trojanhealth.co.za
EXERCISE TECHNIQUE
Hand Grips
There are two styles of handgrips that can be used when exercising:
• Overhand Grip
The bar is gripped with the hands reaching over the top of the bar and the palms facing in towards the body
•Underhand Grip
The bar is gripped with the hands reaching under the bar and the palms facing away from the body.
Breathing
Breathing at the correct time is an important part of weight training.Breathe out while you are putting the effort into the
movement, i.e.when you are lifting or pushing the weight. Breathe in on the return movement or the part of the move-
ment that requires the least effort.Never hold your breathe during an exercise.
Exercise Style
All exercises should be done in a controlled manner.Do not jerk the weight around as this can lead to injury as well as
limiting the benefit of the exercise.
THE WORKOUT
The Warm Up
Always warm up thoroughly before each workout session to help minimise the risk of injury.Warm up on anyTrojan
exercise bike or treadmill or any other similar machine.
Weekly Routine
Perform a weight training routine 3 times per week,ensuring a day of rest and recovery between sessions.

1061M-19
EXERCISEPROGRAM
Reps and Sets
Repetitions (Reps) is the term used to denote the number of consecutive times a certain movement is repeated without
a break,while Sets denotes how many times you should repeat that exercise in a training session e.g.3 sets of 10 reps
means you should perform 10 reps for 1 set,have a break and then repeat another 2 sets.
Recommended rep ranges
6-8 reps Functional strength and hypertrophy (increase in muscle size)
8-12 repsTotal hypertrophy (increase in muscles size)
12-15 reps Muscle-Strength endurance
SAFE USE OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
When using a barbell always ensure that there is someone to help you if you get into any difficulty on an exercise specifi-
cally when bench pressing,shoulder pressing or squatting.As you start using heavier weights,it is advised that you train
with someone as you can help each other out while training and motivate one another to achieve your goals.
Do’s and Don’ts
• Do make sure that your weights are firmly clamped to the bar.
• Do seek medical advice before starting any exercise programme.
• Do start of slowly to avoid unnecessary soreness and stiffness.
• Do remember to bend at the knees when lifting heavy weights from the floor.
• Do maintain a firm, straight back when lifting weights.
• Do remember to breath properly.
• Do warm up thoroughly before exercising.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE A DUMBBELL AND BARBELL
Load the desired weights onto the bar making sure that there is equal weight at each end. Next fit and lock the collars
next to the weights so that they do not slide along the bar.
To fit quick release collars follow the procedure below:
1. Place the collar onto the ends of the bar so that they butt up to the weights
2. Turn the levers so that they line up with the bolts but point away from the collars
3. Tighten the nut until the collar is a tight fit on the bar but is still able to slide along the bar.
4. Rotate the lever so that it folds under the bar,pointing in the opposite direction to how it started (step 2).
