Always consult your physician before beginning an exercise program.
HOW OFTEN?
The American Heart Association recommends that you exercise at least 3 to 4 days per
week to maintain cardiovascular fitness. If you have other goals such as weight or far
loss, you will achieve your goal faster with more frequent exercise. Whether It's 3 days or
6 days, remember that your ultimate goal should be to make exercise a lifetime habit.
Many people are successful staying with a fitness program if they set aside a specific time
of day to exercise. It doesn't matter whether it's in the morning before your shower, d u r-
ing lunch hour or while watching the evening news. What's more important is that it's a
time that allows you to keep a schedule, and a time when you won't be interrupted. If
you are to be successful with your fitness program, you have to make it a priority in your
life. So decide on a time, pull out your day planner and pencil in your exercise times for
the next month!
HOW LONG?
For aerobic exercise benefits, it's recommended that you exercise from between 24 and
32 minutes per session. But start slowly and gradually increase your exercise times. If
you've been sedentary during the past year, it may be a good idea to keep your exercise
t i m e s t o a s l i t t l e a s f i v e m i n u t e s i n i t i a l l y. Your body will need time to adjust to the new
a c t i v i t y. If your goal is weight loss, a longer exercise session at lower intensitles has been
found to be most effective. A workout time of 48 minutes or more is recommended for
best weight loss results.
PERCEIVED EXERTION LEVEL
The second and simpler way to gauge your exercise intensity is to evaluate your perceived
exertion level. While exercising if you are too winded to maintain a conversation without
gasping, you are working out too hard. A good rule of thumb is to work to the point of
exhilaration, not exhaustion. If you cannot catch your breath, it's time to slow down.
Always be aware of other warning signs of overexertion.
