CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for several
years, or are severely overweight, you must slowly and increase your time on the item gradually: a few minutes
per workout.
Initially, you may be able to exercise only for a few minutes in your target zone, however, your aerobic fitness
will improve over the next six to eight weeks. Don’t be discouraged if it takes longer. It’s important to work at
your own pace. Ultimately, you’ll be able to exercise continuously for 30 minutes. The better your aerobic
fitness, the harder you will have to work to stay in your target zone. Please remember these essentials:
Have your doctor review your training and diet programs to advise you of a workout routine you should
adopt.
Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your doctor.
Monitor your pulse frequently. Establish your target heart rate base on your age and condition.
Set up your Elliptical on a flat, even surface at least 3 feet from walls and furniture.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensity
level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be
maintained at a level between 70% and 85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise. This is known as your
target zone. You can find your target zone in the table below. Target zones are listed for both unconditioned and
conditioned persons according to age.
