IMPORTANT:

If you are over 35 and have been inactive for several years, you should consult your physician, who may or may not recommend a graded exercise test.

If you are just beginning your exercise program, your target heart rate range should be roughly at 60% of your maximum heart rate. As you become more conditioned (or if you are already in good cardiovascular shape) you can increase your target heart rate to 70%-85% of your maximum heart rate. Remember, your target heart rate is only a guide.

You should also consult your physician if you have the following:

High blood pressure

High cholesterol

Asthma

Heart trouble

Family history of early stroke or heart attack deaths

Frequent dizzy spells

Extreme breathlessness after mild exertion

Arthritis or other bone problems

Severe muscular, ligament or tendon problems

Other known or suspected disease

If you experience any pain or tightness in your chest, an irregular heartbeat or shortness of breath, stop exercising immediately. Consult your physician before continuing.

Pregnant

Balance Impairment

Taking medications that affect heart rate

KNOWING THE BASICS

Physical fitness is most easily understood by examining its components, or "parts".

There is widespread agreement that these five components comprise the basics of physical training:

CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE – the ability to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues, and to remove wastes, over sustained periods of time.

Using your bike will improve this.

MUSCULAR STRENGTH – the ability of a muscle to exert force for a brief period of time. Upper-body strength, for example, can be measured by various weight-lifting exercises.

MUSCULAR ENDURANCE – the ability of a muscle, or a group of muscles, to sustain repeated contractions or to continue applying force against a fixed object. Push ups are often used to test endurance of arm and shoulder muscles.

FLEXIBILITY – the ability to move joints and use muscles through their full range of motion. The test is a good measure of flexibility of the lower back and backs of the upper legs.

BODY COMPOSITION – often considered a component of fitness. It refers to the makeup of the body in terms of lean mass (muscle, bone, vital tissue and organs) and fat mass. An optimal ratio of fat to lean mass is an indication of fitness, and the right types of exercises will help you decrease body fat and increase or maintain muscle mass. To help track your progress we have provided Workout Progress Charts on page 22.

A COMPLETE EXERCISE PROGRAM

How often, how long and how hard you exercise, and what kinds of exercises you do should be determined by what you are trying to accomplish. Your goals, your present fitness level, age, health, skills, interest and convenience are among the factors you should consider. For example, an athlete training for high-level competition would follow a different program than a person whose goals are good health and the ability to meet work and recreational needs.

Your exercise program should include something from each of the four basic fitness components
