SAFETY
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU EXERCISE:
You should exercise three to four times a week to improve your cardiovascular and muscle fitness.
HOW HARD SHOULD YOU EXERCISE:
Intensity of exercise is reflected in your heart rate. Exercise must be sufficiently rigorous to
strengthen your heart muscle and condition your cardiovascular system. Only your doctor can
prescribe the target training heart range for you. Before starting any exercise program consult your
physician.
HOW LONG SHOULD YOU EXERCISE:
Sustained exercise conditions your heart, lungs and muscles. The longer you are able to sustain
exercise within your target heart range, the greater the aerobic benefits.
