The following guidelines wiii help you to plan your exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and adequate
EXERCISE rest are essential for successful results.
iNTENSiTY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the desired results is to exercise with the proper
The proper intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.

C_
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above your age. The three numbers are your "training zone."
The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative= ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible ca@ohydt:ate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.
if your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone as you exercise.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise if your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys= tem, your exercise must be "aerobic." Aerobic exercise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone as you exercise.
WORKOUT GUiDELiNES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone, Note: During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.
A cooFdown, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This wili increase the flexibility of your muscles and wili help to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCmSEFREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at bast one day of rest between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
