HEART RATE PROGRAMS Before we get started, a word about Heart Rate: The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors.
Page 23
RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more variables involved in how hard you should work out than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout.

USING HEART RATE TRANSMITTER (OPTIONAL) How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter: Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts. 1. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable.

the training threshold should be raised. Working through your program and gradually increasing the overload factor is important. Specificity Different forms of exercise produce different results.

the time you are exercising. Since heart rate slows as you recover, a longer count isn’t as accurate. The target is not a magic number, but a general guide. If you have above-average fitness, you may work quite comfortably a little above that suggested for your age group. The following table is a guide to those who are keeping fit.

Stop exercising and consult your doctor. What to Wear Wear clothing that will not restrict your movement in any way while exercising. Clothes should be light enough to allow the body to cool. Excessive clothing that causes you to perspire more than you normally would while exercising, gives you no advantage.
Page 33
STRETCHING Stretching should be included in both your warm-up and cool-down and should be performed after 3-5 minutes of low-intensity aerobic activity or callisthenic type exercise. Movements should be performed slowly and smoothly, with no bouncing or jerking. Move into the stretch until slight tension; no pain is felt in the muscle and hold for 20-30 seconds.

INNER THIGH STRETCH TOE TOUCHES Sit with the soles of your feet together Slowly bend forward from your waist, with your knees pointing outward. Pull letting your back and shoulders relax your feet as close to your groin as as you stretch toward your toes. Reach possible.
