The following guideline will help you to plan your
exerci e program. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate re t are e ential for ucce ful re ult .
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal i to burn fat or to trengthen your
cardiova cular y tem, the key to achieving the
de ired re ult i to exerci e with the proper inten ity.
The proper inten ity level can be found by u ing your
heart rate a a guide. The chart below how recom-
mended heart rate for fat burning, maximum fat
burning, and cardiova cular (aerobic) exerci e.
To find the proper heart rate for you, fir t find your age
at the bottom line of the chart (age are rounded off to
the neare t ten year ). Next, find the three number
above your age. The three number are your “training
zone.” The lowe t number i the recommended heart
rate for fat burning; the middle number i the recom-
mended heart rate for maximum fat burning; the high-
e t number i the recommended heart rate for aerobic
exerci e.
Fat Burn ng
To burn fat effectively, you mu t exerci e at a relative-
ly low inten ity level for a u tained period of time.
During the fir t few minute of exerci e, your body
u e ea ily acce ible carbohydrate calorie for ener-
gy. Only after the fir t few minute of exerci e doe
your body begin to u e tored fat calorie for energy.
If your goal i to burn fat, adju t the inten ity of your
exerci e until your heart rate i near the lowe t num-
ber in your training zone a you exerci e. For maxi-
mum fat burning, adju t the inten ity of your exerci e
until your heart rate i near the middle number in your
training zone a you exerci e.
Aerob c Exerc se
If your goal i to trengthen your cardiova cular y -
tem, your exerci e mu t be “aerobic.” Aerobic exer-
ci e i activity that require large amount of oxygen
for prolonged period of time. Thi increa e the
demand on the heart to pump blood to the mu cle ,
and on the lung to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic
exerci e, adju t the inten ity of your exerci e until
your heart rate i near the highe t number in your
training zone.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To mea ure your
heart rate, fir t exer-
ci e for at lea t four
minute . Then, top
exerci ing and place
two finger on your
wri t a hown. Take
a ix- econd heart-
beat count, and multi-
ply the re ult by 10 to find your heart rate. For exam-
ple, if your ix- econd heartbeat count i 14, your
heart rate i 140 beat per minute. (A ix- econd
count i u ed becau e your heart rate will drop rapidly
when you top exerci ing.)
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout hould include the following three part :
A warm-up, con i ting of 5 to 10 minute of tretching
and light exerci e. A proper warm-up increa e your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-
ration for exerci e.
Tra n ng zone exerc se, con i ting of 20 to 30 min-
ute of exerci ing with your heart rate in your training
zone. Note: During the fir t few week of your exer-
ci e program, do not keep your heart rate in your
training zone for longer than 20 minute .
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minute of tretching. Thi
will increa e the flexibility of your mu cle and will
help to prevent po t-exerci e problem .
