Conditioning Guidelines.
Why Exercise?
Exercise has been proven essential for good health and general wellbeing. Regular
exercise will:
• Relieve tension and stress
• Provide enjoyment and fun
• Stimulate the mind
• Help maintain stable weight
• Control appetite
• Boost self-image
• Improve muscle tone and strength
• Improve exibility
• Lower blood pressure
• Relieve insomnia
The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program and exercise safely.
Remember that proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
WARNING: Before beginning to use this rowing machine or starting any other exercise
program consult your doctor. This is especially important for pregnant women and new
mothers, all people over the age of 35, and those with medical problems such as heart
disease, high or low blood pressure, injuries, joint problems, obesity and asthma.

15

Target Heart Rate
To train eectively you should aim to work in the heart rate zone appropriate to your
age as stipulated below. Please note this is a guide and your heart rate at rest and during
training is determined by your tness level and other lifestyle factors as well as your age.
If you reach the recommended beats per minute below and feel you’re over-exerting
yourself stop, rest and when you feel recovered return to exercise at a lower intensity.
AGE TRAINING ZONE - MIN - MAX (BPM)
20 133 - 167
25 132 - 166
30 130 - 164
35 129 - 162

Beginner’s Guide to Exercise
Workout Tips
If you’re beginning an exercise program for the rst time or starting a new exercise pro-
gram, you must check with your doctor that you are t to do so particularly if:
• You have been diagnosed with heart
problems, high blood pressure or other
medical conditions
• You have not exercised for over a year
• If you are over 35 and do not currently
exercise
• You are pregnant or are a new mother
• You have diabetes
• You have chest pain, or experience
dizziness or fainting spells
• You are recovering from an injury or
illness
• Always perform a warm-up and stretching exercises before your workout and a cool-
down and stretching exercises at the end
• Start slowly and build up your time, speed and resistance gradually; doing too much too
soon can lead to injuries
• If you are sore or tired, give yourself a few extra days to recover.

17

How To Begin
How Hard Should You Work?
• Start with two or three 15-minute
sessions per week with a rest day
between workouts
• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes with gentle
movements incorporating the whole
body such as walking while swinging
your arms in a circle and then stretch the
muscles you’ll use during your workout
• Increase the pace and resistance to slight-
ly harder than comfortable and exercise
for as long as you can. You may only be
able to exercise for a few minutes at a
time, but that will change quickly when
you exercise regularly
• End each workout with a 5-minute cool-
down with the resistance set to a low
level. You should then stretch the mus-
cles you’ve just worked to develop exi-
bility, reduce muscle soreness and
prevent injury
• Increase your workout time by a few
minutes each week until you can work
continuously for 30 minutes per session
• Don’t worry about distance or pace for
the rst few weeks, focus on endurance
and conditioning.
When exercising, you should try to stay within your target heart rate (THR) zone.
The table on page 15 will tell you the THR for your age.
Always be aware of how you feel when you exercise. If you feel dizzy or light-headed,
stop immediately and rest.

18 www.viavito.com
Tips For Stretching
• Begin with small mobility exercises of all
the joints e.g. simply rotate the ankles,
bend the knees and roll your hips.
Gradually make the movements larger and
faster. This will allow the body’s
natural lubrication (synovial uid) to
protect the surface of your bones
at these joints
• Always warm up the body before
stretching, as this increases blood ow
around the body, creating warmth which
makes the muscles more supple
• Start with your legs, and steadily work up
the body
• Each stretch should be held for at least
10 seconds (working up to 20 to 30
seconds) and usually repeated
about 2 or 3 times
• Do not stretch until it hurts. If there’s any
pain, ease o
• Don’t bounce. Stretching should be
gradual and relaxed
• Don’t hold your breath during a stretch
• Stretch after exercising to prevent
muscles from tightening up
• Stretch at least three times a week to
maintain exibility.

19
Warm-Up and Cool-Down
A successful cardio-vascular exercise program consists of a full-body warm-up, aerobic
exercise, and a cool-down. Do the entire program at least two and preferably three times
a week, resting for a day between workouts. After several months, you can
increase your workouts to four or ve times per week.
WARM-UP
The purpose of warming up is to prepare your body for exercise and to minimise injuries.
Warm up for ve minutes before strength training or exercising aerobically. Perform
activities that raise your heart rate and warm the working muscles. Activities may include
brisk walking, jogging, jumping jacks, jump rope, and running on the spot. Try to
incorporate moves that take the joints through their full range of motion.
STRETCHING
Stretching while your muscles are warm after a proper warm-up and again after your
strength or aerobic training session is very important. Muscles stretch more easily at
these times because of their elevated temperature, which greatly reduces the risk
of injury. Stretching develops exibility and reduces muscles soreness.
Stretches should be held for 15 to 30 seconds.
DO NOT BOUNCE OR OVER-STRETCH
Take your time on each stretch. Gradually take each stretch a little deeper on every out
breath to your personal maximum.

Side Stretch
20 www.viavito.com
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, allows blood to return to the heart and helps prevent muscle soreness
caused by the build-up of lactic acid in the muscles.
