Training Instructions
To achieve a considerable improvement of your
physical resistance and your health, some aspects of
how to find the most efficient amount of training should
be followed:
If you have not been physically active for a longer period
of time and also to avoid health risks you should consult
your general physician before starting to exercise.
Intensity
To achieve maximum results the right intensity has to be
chosen.
The heart rate is used as guideline.
As a rule of thumb the following formula is commonly
used:
Maximum pulse rate = 220 - Age
While exercising the pulse rate should always be
between 70% - 85% of the maximum pulse rate.
For your personal training rates please see the attached
pulse rate chart on page 10.
When starting to exercise you should keep your rate at
60% of your maximum pulse rate in the first couple of
weeks.
With increasing improvement of fitness the pulse rate
should be slowly increased to 85% of your maximum
pulse rate.
Fat burning
The body starts to burn fat at approx. 65% of the
maximum pulse rate.
To reach an optimum at burning rate, it is advisable to
keep the pulse rate between 60% – 70% of the
maximum pulse rate.
The optimum training amount consists of three workouts
per week 30 minutes each
.
Example:
You are 52 years of age and would like to start
exercising.
Maximum pulse rate = 220 - 52(age) = 168 pulse/min
Minimum pulse rate = 168 x 0.6 = 101 pulse/min
Highest pulse rate = 168 x 0.7 = 117 pulse/min
During the first weeks it is advisable to start with a pulse
rate of 101, afterwards increase it to 1.
With increasing improvement of fitness the training
intensity should be increased to 70% - 85% of your
maximum pulse rate.
This can be done by increasing the pedalling resistance,
a higher pedalling frequency or longer training periods.
Training Organisation
Warm-up:
Before every training you should warm-up for 5-10
minutes.
