  • Page 27: About Heart Rate Training

    EXERCISE INTENSITY To reap the most cardiovascular benefits from your workout, it is necessary to exercise within a recommended intensity. The two ways to monitor exercise inten- sity are Target Heart Rate and Perceived Exertion. TARGET HEART RATE Target Heart Rate is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target Heart Rate will vary for each individual, depending on age, current level of conditioning, and personal fitness goals.

  • Page 28: Rate Of Perceived Exertion

    RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is one of the easiest ways to monitor exercise intensity. By becoming familiar with the RPE scale, you can continually assess your level of intensity and insure a level of exertion that is comfortable. An increase in exercise intensity is directly related to elevation in exercise heart rate.

    WARRANTY Please contact your local dealer for more details.
  • Page 72 DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAM WARM UP When you exercise you need more oxygen to fuel your muscles. This oxygen is carried to the muscles through blood. The increasing demands of exercise will cause increased breathing rate, heart rate, blood flow and blood temperature. As your blood temperature rises and more oxygen is released, the temperature of your muscles will increase.
  • Page 73 FLEXIBILITY Before stretching, take a few minutes to warm-up as stretching a cold muscle can cause injury. When stretching you should start slowly, exhaling as you gently stretch the muscle. Try to hold each stretch for at least 15 to 30 seconds. Don’t bounce when you stretch.

  • Page 75: Fitness Guidelines

    EXERCISE GUIDELINES The American Council of Sports Medicine (A.C.S.M.) recommends the following exercise guidelines, for healthy aerobic activity: Frequency: Exercise 3 to 5 days each week. Warm-up: Warm-up 5 to 10 minutes before aerobic activity. Duration: Maintain your exercise intensity for 20 to 60 minutes.
