EXERCISE STEPS

The following nine steps for designing your exercise 
program were developed by exercise physiologists at
FREEMOTION. The actual exercise you perform is
only a part of a safe and effective training program.
There are many other aspects to developing a life-long 
commitment to physical fitness.

Consult your physician before beginning 
any exercise program.

A medical examination or consultation with your
physician is essential.

Establish personal fitness goals.

Set attainable, realistic goals. Reward yourself
when you meet your goals. Remember, your
goals should act as a guide for your workout 
program. 

Determine your target heart rate.

Your 

target heart rate

(THR), is the rate at which

you would like your heart to work during aerobic
exercise. It is expressed as a percentage of your

maximum heart rate

(MHR). MHR is the maximum

number of times that your heart can pump during
one minute. To determine your approximate MHR,
subtract your age (in years) from 220. This is only
an estimation of your MHR—only clinical stress
testing can provide an actual MHR reading.

Once you have determined your MHR, you can
establish your target heart rate zone. Beginning
trainer may wish to start at 60 to 70 percent of
their MHR. This level is called the 

Health

level.

Exercise at 70 to 85 percent of your MHR for the
optimal training, aerobic, or cardiovascular level—
the 

Fitness

level. Advanced trainer, or those wish-

ing to do sports, athletic conditioning, or interval
training workouts should exercise at 80 to 85 per-
cent of the MHR for short periods of time. The
chart below shows Target Heart Rate Zones for
Health, Fitness, and Advanced trainer.

Be sure to check your heart rate at least twice 
during an aerobic conditioning session. First,
check your heart rate five minutes into your work-
out to be sure that you are at the proper intensity.
Then, check it again near the end of your workout
to verify that you have maintained your target
heart rate for the recommended period of time.
