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 types of cancer, type 2 diabetes, etc.
Workout guidelines (continued) sive amount to cause injury. Your heart rate is an excellent indicator of the amount of stress placed on the cardiovascular system. Taking full advantage of this information, the 460 model unit is designed to include heart rate monitoring features. If exercise intensity is too low or too high, no gains will be made in fitness. If the intensity is too low, the stress levels are ineffective.
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 medical check-up and a stress test, preferably administered during exercise by a healthcare professional. 1.
