  • Page 9: Getting Fit

    getting fi t Cardiovascular endurance is the most important component of physical fitness. There are two types of cardiovascular training, these are interval training and steady state training. Interval training varies the amount of effort required to workout. The Weight Management, Heart Health and Cardio programs all modify the speed during the program and the Uphill Walking, Rolling Hills, Uphill Hike, Uphill Intervals and Pyramid Climb modify the incline to vary the effort required throughout the workout.
  • Page 10 The three components of a successful cardiovascular exercise program are: • Frequency • Intensity • Time In terms of frequency, you should exercise at least three times per week and preferably 6 times per week at least 30 minutes per session. The intensity of each workout refers to how hard you feel your working and can be measured by your heart rate.
