Exercise Guidelines
Check with your physician before beginning any type of exercise program.
People who have diabetes or high blood pressure, a family history of heart disease,
high cholesterol, any other special medical condition, are over age 35, or have led a
sedentary lifestyle should get a medical check-up and a stress test before initiating an
exercise program or routine. Medical research has shown that the optimal amount
of exercise to condition the cardio respiratory system and the muscles of the body is
between 60% and 85% of your maximum heart rate, as measured during a training
session.
If at any time during exercise you experience dizziness or chest pain, stop
immediately and seek medical advice.
Target Heart Rate Zone Formula:
220 minus your age multiplied by your desired Heart Rate Zone Goal (suggested by
your doctor) = your target heart rate BPM.
Do not workout at your maximum heart rate. The recommended heart rate zone is
between 60% and 85% of your maximum heart rate.
