WORKOUT GUIDELINES Good health is an exercise in common sense The Surgeon General released 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. The story states that overweight increases the risk of health problems, such as heart disease, certain type of cancer, type 2 diabetes, etc.
target heart rate, the intensity needed to improve cardiovascular fitness, depends primarily on your age and not your state of fitness. It is calculated as a percentage of your maximum heart rate, estimated as 220 minus your age. It is most effective to train at your target heart rate between 60% and 85% of your maximum heart rate. Maximum Heart Rate & Training Zone To calculate your maximum heart rate and find your training zone, use the following formula.
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 medical check-up and a stress test, preferably administered during exercise by a healthcare professional. 1. 2. 3.
