CONDITIONING GUIDELINES The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results. Burning Fat To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at the proper intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.
A cardiovascular exercise period, including 20 to 30 minutes of exercise with your heart rate in your training zone. A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Thorough stretching helps to offset problems caused when you stop exercising suddenly. Stretching after exercise is also very effective for increasing flexibility. EXERCISE FREQUENCY To maintain or improve your condition, plan three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts.
