Training Zone Exercise

After warming up, increase the intensity of your exer- cise until your pulse is in your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exer- cise program, do not keep your pulse in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise—never hold your breath.

Cool-down

Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help to prevent post-exercise prob- lems.

Exercise Frequency

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest be- tween workouts. After a few months, you may com- plete up to five workouts each week if desired.

Instead of waiting for a convenient time to exercise, plan a specific time. The morning hours work well for many, and the self-discipline required to rise early and exercise often carries through the day to help increase productivity in other areas. For some, exercising be- fore dinner initiates a period of winding down from the day's activities. Whatever time you choose, be consis- tent and stick with it.

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest be- tween workouts. After a few months of regular exer- cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

WORKOUT ATTIRE

Exercise clothing should be comfortable and allow un- restricted movement. Do not wear rubberized or plastic clothing that can interfere with the evaporation of sweat from your skin. Always wear athletic shoes that are flexible and provide good protection and support.

ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS

Creating a more active lifestyle, in addition to estab- lishing a regular exercise program, will help you to achieve your fitness goals.

It's easy to improve your lifestyle by making a few changes in your daily routine:

•Keep yourself moving throughout the day. Use the stairs instead of the elevator. Park a half mile away from work or get off the bus a couple of blocks be- fore your stop and walk the remaining distance.

•Increase midday productivity, creativity and energy by replacing a heavy lunch with a light meal. Spend the extra time in physical activity such as walking.

•Substitute manually-operated devices for automatic equipment such as lawn-care machinery, power tools and snow removers.

•Stop smoking; smoking nearly doubles the risk of coronary heart disease. (Framington Heart Study)

•Reduce or eliminate alcohol consumption. Alcohol is a major cause of liver problems and other health disorders. (Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion)

•Reduce your intake of fat. Less than 30% of the calories you consume each day should come from fat. Excessive fat consumption has been linked to numerous causes of death, including heart disease and cancer.

•Know and keep a record of your cholesterol level, blood pressure and other health information. Keep your blood pressure below 140/90; keeping it below 125/85 is preferable.
