WORKOUT GUILDLINES

WORKOUT QUALITY AND QUANTITY

It is recommended that you accumulate at least 30 minutes of physical ac  vity most days of the week. Physical ac  vity should be ini  ated 
slowly and the intensity should be increased gradually. You should select ac  vi  es that you enjoy and can 

fi

 t into your daily life. Having 

Diamondback Fitness equipment at home certainly gives you the comfortable and convenient workout you want. 

The American College of Sports Medicine makes the following recommenda  ons for the quan  ty and quality of training for developing and 
maintaining cardio respiratory 

fi

 tness in healthy adults:

• An ac  vity that uses large muscle groups, maintained con  nuously, and is rhythmical and aerobic in nature.

• Dura  on:  20 to 60 minutes of con  nuous aerobic ac  vity, including a warm-up and cool-down period, for each exercise session.

• Frequency:  3 to 5   mes per week.

• Intensity:  60% to 85% of maximum heart rate.

In addi  on to aerobic exercise, strength training of moderate intensity twice per week is recommended. Women especially may bene

fi

 t from 

weight-bearing exercises. Select ac  vi  es you enjoy and can 

fi

 t into daily life. Having Diamondback Fitness equipment at home o

 ers you the 

opportunity to work out without going to the gym.

Get a smart start on exercising

Anyone over the age of 35, as well as, younger persons who 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 led a sedentary 
lifestyle should protect themselves with a medical check-up and a stress test, preferably administered during exercise by a health care 
professional.

• Always stretch before your workout to loosen muscles, and a  erward to cool down.

• The 

fi

 rst few minutes of your workout should be devoted to warming up muscles before a vigorous workout, and building your heart rate 

slowly.

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

NOTE: Start slow, with intensity low un  l you build up endurance and strength. Always consult your physician before beginning any exercise 

program.
