Workout guidelines (continued)

Get a smart start on exercising.

Anyone over the age of 35, as well as younger persons whom are overweight, should check with his/her physician before beginning any type of exercise program. People who have diabetes or high blood pressure, a family history of heart disease, high cholesterol or have lead a sedentary lifestyle should protect themselves with a med- ical check-up and a stress test, preferably administered during exercise by a health- care professional.

1.Always stretch before your workout to loosen muscles, and afterwards to cool down.

2.The first few minutes of your workout should be devoted to warming up muscles before a vigorous workout, and building your heart rate slowly.

3.After your aerobic workout of about 24-32 minutes, spend 10 minutes gradually reducing your heart rate with a lower resistance level.

Remember, to start slow, with intensity low, until you build endurance and strength. And always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
