Exercise Guidelines:
The American Council of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends the
following exercise guidelines for healthy aerobic activity:
Warm up: Warm up 5 to 10 minutes before aerobic activity.
Duration: Maintain your exercise intensity for 20 to 60 minutes
Cool Down: Gradually decrease the intensity of your workout, then
stretch to cool down during the last 5 to 10 minutes.
NOTE: If weight loss is your major goal, a minimum of 30
minutes of aerobic activity five or more times per week
is recommended.
Determining your target heart rate (Kavvonen Heart Rate Formula)
Example: 40 year old with a resting heart rate of 60 BPM
220 - 40 (age) = 180
180-60 (resting pulse) = 120
120 x .5 (50% intensity) = 60
60 + 60 (resting heart rate) = 120 (target heart rate)
The following chart explains how to
determine your target heart rate for
varying levels of intensity. The
different levels of intensity
will help you achieve
different objectives.
