These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise 

program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a 

reputable book or consult your physician. Remember, 

proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for 

successful results. 

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your 

cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten-

sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your 

heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level. 

The chart below shows recommended heart rates for 

fat burning and aerobic exercise.

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the 

bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-

est ten years). The three numbers listed above your 

age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is 

the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the 

heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest 

number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-

cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of 

time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your 

body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after 

the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin 

to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to 

burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your 

heart rate is near the lowest number in your training 

zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your 

heart rate near the middle number in your training 

zone.

Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your 

cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic 

exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts 

of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic 

exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your 

heart rate is near the highest number in your training 

zone. 

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE

To measure your heart 

rate, exercise for at 

least four minutes. 

Then, stop exercising 

and place two fingers 

on your wrist as shown. 

Take a six-second 

heartbeat count, and 

multiply the result by 10 

to find your heart rate. For example, if your six-second 

heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per 

minute.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-

ing and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body 

temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation 

for exercise. 

Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min-

utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During 

the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not 

keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer 

than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you 

exercise; never hold your breath. 

Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-

ing. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles 

and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three 

workouts each week, with at least one day of rest 

between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-

cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, 

if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make 

exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday 

life.

    WARNING:

 Before beginning this 

or any exercise program, consult your physi-

cian. This is especially important for persons 

over age 35 or persons with pre-existing 

health problems.
