WORKOUT GUILDLINES
Heart rate is an important key to your exercise.
The Surgeon General also released a report on physical ac vity and health. This report dictates that exercise and fi tness are
benefi cial for a person's health and reiterated the need for exercise as a key component of disease preven on and healthier
living.
If exercise intensity is too low or too high, no gains will be made in fi tness. If the intensity is too low, the stress levels are
ineff ec ve. If the intensity is too high, injury or fa gue may set your exercise program back as you try to recover.
The best way to determine exercise intensity is to accurately count your pulse during exercise. Your heart rate can easily be
determined by coun ng your pulse at the chest, wrist or at the caro d artery on your neck. It is diffi cult to count your own pulse
during exercise, mainly because you cannot count fast enough to record an accurate rate. This Diamondback Fitness 510Ic is
equipped with contact heart rate sensors.
