Cool Down
To prevent muscle injuries and soreness, you should
always cool down (at least 5 minutes) by doing a
series of stretches after each workout.
CAUTION
Always stretch after a workout session to reduce
the risk of personal injury. Failure to stretch properly
may result in injury to yourself.
Guidelines for Healthy Adults
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and
the American Heart Association (AHA) are continuously
updating guidelines and recommendations for physical
activity.
The current basic recommendations from ACSM and
AHA is:
Do moderately intense cardio 30 minutes a day, five
days a week.
OR
Do vigorously intense cardio 20 minutes a day, three
days a week.
AND
Do eight to ten strength-training exercises, eight to
twelve repetitions of each exercise twice a week.
Moderate-intensity physical activity means working
hard enough to raise your heart rate and break a
sweat, yet still being able to carry on a conversation.
It should be noted that to lose weight or maintain
weight loss, 60 to 90 minutes of physical activity may
be necessary. The 30 minute recommendation is for
the average healthy adult to maintain health and
reduce the risk for chronic disease.
