Individuals who will support me in my exercise program: Person #1_______________________ Person #2_______________________ Person #3_______________________ Individuals who can workout with me: Person #1_______________________ Person #2_______________________ Person #3_______________________ Over the last 25 years, ever since the introduction of Dr. Kenneth Cooper's book, Aerobics, many individuals have focused on walking, running, cycling, swimming, and other types of aerobic activity as their only means of exercise.
n Muscular Strength The new guidelines have added resistance training since the ACSM recognizes the increasing importance of maintaining strength as a health benefit as we get older. The rationale for the addition of strength training to the guidelines is a result of a ten year follow-up study on master runners (along with other studies).
IDENTIFYING YOUR BALANCED FITNESS GOALS Keep in mind that the ACSM recommendations are guidelines for the average person, not a champion athlete training for the Olympic Games. An appropriate warm-up and cool-down, which would also include flexibility exercises, is also recommended. While many of you will need to train with more mileage and at a greater intensity to race competitively, the important factor to remember for most people is that if they follow the ACSM guidelines of physical activity they will attain increased physical and health benefits at the lowest risk.
• Include an exercise program that provides as least 300 calories or more of activity per day. This is best accomplished with exercise of low intensity and long duration. Many pieces of home fitness equipment give estimates of calories burned while exercising. Remember these are approximate calories burned, exact amounts will depend on type of exercise, your body size, intensity and duration.
In addition to aerobic exercise, the ACSM recommends that healthy adults perform a minimum of 8 to 10 strength exercises involving the major muscle groups a minimum of two times per week. At least one set of 8 to 12 repetitions to near-fatigue should be completed during each session.
Varied training in all three of these zones will add to increased levels of fitness and improved performance and add more energy to your life. "Most training programs use a combination of training intensities to increase performance capacity," according to J. T. Kearney, Ph.D., Senior Exercise Physiologist at the U.
But even with all this evidence, only 22 percent of Americans engage in exercise for 20 minutes a day. And even among individuals who begin exercise programs, the dropout rate is about 50 percent. So if the Surgeon General's findings are not convincing evidence enough to keep most us exercising on a consistent basis, what is? Scientists are finding that the process of beginning, increasing and ultimately sticking to an exercise program is a combination of two elements: finding the right incentives and building a...
3. Focus on the positive. Avoid looking at your exercise program as a way to fix something that's wrong with your body. Instead focus on your successes. Congratulate yourself after each workout. Thrive on the energy that exercising gives you. 4.
