HOW TO EXERCISE EFFECTIVELY

Exercising too hard is as ineffective as not working hard enough. In fact, overdoing it can be harmful. For an effective workout, determine your optimal workout frequency, duration and intensity and stick to it!

Calculating

To approximate

 

your

THRR,

you

must

first

calculate

your

 

theoretical

maximum

heart

rate.

 

Subtract

your

age

from

220.

as

for determining

rate.*)

For

example,

if you

are

35

years

old,

your

theoretical

 

maximum

heart

rate

is

185.

If

your

goal

is fat

Range

 

loss,

you

can

establish

your

THRR

by

multiplying

this number

(185)by 65% to establish the lower limit, then by 75% to

establish the upper limit. If your goal is cardiorespiratory fitness, you can

establish your THRR by multiplying 185 first by 75% to establish the lower limit, then by 90% to establish the upper limit.

Figure 3 (page 15) or Table 1 (page 44) can be used to determine your theoretical maximum heart rate and THRR for your age category.

Examples:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cardiorespiratory

 

Training

for

age

35:

 

 

 

Lower

limit:

(220 less

35

=

185)

x .75

=

138

beats/min.

Upper

limit:

(220 less

35

= 185) x.90

= 166 beats/min.

Fat Loss Training Range for age 35:

 

 

 

Lower

limit:

(220

less

35

=

185)

x.65

=

120

beats/min.

Upper

limit:

(220

less

35

=

185)

x .75

=

138

beats/min.

Note: A stress test administered by your doctor, is the most accurate method of

determining your maximum heart rate and overall cardiorespiratory condition.

We strongly recommend that you see your doctor before beginning any exercise program, especially if you have a history of high blood pressure, heart problems or if you are over the age of 45. You and your doctor can decide whether a maximum stress test is advisable.

By making sure your heart rate stays within this range during your workout, you will achieve optimal training benefits with minimal stress to your cardiorespiratory

system. As you fitness program progresses, your aerobic capacity wl1\ build and your body will begin to show the benefits of what is referred to fitness experts as

"the training effect."
