Workouts
The workout must be suitably light, but of long
duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving
the body’s maximum oxygen uptake, which in turn
improves endurance and fitness. You should perspire,
but you should not get out of breath during the
workout.
To reach and maintain a basic fitness level, exercise at
least three times a week, 30 minutes at a time. Increase
the number of exercise sessions to improve your fitness
level. It is worthwhile to combine regular exercise with
a healthy diet. A person committed to dieting should
exercise daily, at first 30 minutes or less at a time,
gradually increasing the daily workout time to one hour.
Start your workout at low speed and low resistance to
prevent the cardiovascular system from being subjected
to excessive strain.
As the fitness level improves, speed and resistance can
be increased gradually. The efficiency of your exercise
can be measured by monitoring your heart rate and
your pulse rate.
