GENERAL
EXERCISE GUIDELINES
EXERCISE DURATION
A common question asked is, “how much exercise do I need?” We
recommend following the guidelines set up by the American College of
Sports Medicine (ACSM) for healthy aerobic activity.
• Exercise three to five days per week.
• Warm up for five to 10 minutes before aerobic activity.
• Maintain your exercise activity for 30 to 45 minutes.
• Gradually decrease the intensity of your workout, then stretch to
cool down during the last five to 10 minutes.
If weight loss is a major goal, participate in your aerobic activity at least
30 minutes for five days each week.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
The next question asked is, “how hard do I need to work out?” To reap
the most cardiovascular benefits from your workout, it is necessary to
exercise within a recommended intensity range. We recommend
monitoring your exercise heart rate to measure exercise intensity.
