Workout Guidelines

Good health is an exercise in common sense.

Surgeon General releases a new study in 2001, The Surgeon General’s Call To Action To Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity. It indicates that 61% of American adults are either overweight or obese. Noting also that overweight increases the risk of health problems, such as heart disease, certain type of cancer, type 2 diabetes, etc. It states that overweight needs to be regarded primarily as Health rather than as Appearance issues.

Surgeon General’s Healthy weight advice for consumers is:

Medical research has shown us that there is an amount of exercise, which is enough to condition the cardio respiratory system and the muscles of the body. This amount of exercise is between 60% and 85% of your maximum heart rate measured during a training session. This range allows enough exercise to achieve fitness, but not an excessive amount to cause injury. Your heart rate is an excellent indicator of the amount of stress placed on the cardiovascular system. Taking full advantage of this information, the 1150 Series is designed to include heart rate monitoring features.

If exercise intensity is too low or too high, no gains will be made in fitness. If the intensity is too low, the stress levels are ineffective. If the intensity is too high, injury or fatigue may set your exercise program back as you try to recover. The best way to monitor exercise intensity is to accurately count your pulse during exercise. Your heart rate can easily be determined by counting your pulse at the chest, wrist or at the
