Working through your program and gradually increasing the overload factor is important. 

Specificity 

Different  forms  of  exercise  produce  different  results.  The  type  of  exercise  that  is  carried  out  is 
specific both to the muscle groups being used and to the energy source involved. 
There is little transfer of the effects of exercise, i.e. from strength training to cardiovascular fitness. 
That is why it is important to have an exercise program tailored to your specific needs. 

 

Reversibility 

If you stop exercising or do not do your program often enough, you will lose the benefits you have 
gained. Regular workouts are the key to success. 
 

Warm Up 

Every exercise program should start  with a 

warm

 

up

  where the body is prepared for the effort to 

come. It should be gentle and preferably use the muscles to be involved later. 
Stretching  should  be  included  in  both  your 

warm  up 

and 

cool  down

,  and  should  be  performed 

after 3-5 minutes of low intensity aerobic activity or callisthenic type exercise. 
 

Warm Down or Cool Down 

This involves a gradual decrease in the intensity of the exercise session. Following exercise, a 
large supply of blood remains in the working muscles. If it is not returned promptly o the central 
circulation, pooling of blood may occur in the muscles 
 

Heart Rate 

As  you  exercise,  so  the  rate  at  which  your  heart  beat  also  increases.  This  is  often  used  as  a 
measure of the required intensity of exercise. You need to exercise hard enough to condition your 
circulatory system, and increase your pulse rate, but not enough to strain your heart. 
Your initial level of fitness is important in developing an exercise program for you. If you are starting 
off, you  can get a good training effect with a heart rate  of 110-120 beats per minute(BPM). If you 
are fitter, you will need a higher threshold of stimulation. 
To  begin  with,  you  should  exercise  at  a  level  that  elevates  your  heart rate  to  about  65  to  70%  of 
your maximum. If you find this is too easy, you may want to increase it, but it is better to lean on the 
conservative side. 
 
As a rule of thumb, the maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. As you increase in age, so your 
heart,  like  other  muscles,  loses  some  of  its  efficiency.  Some  of  its  natural  loss  is  won  back  as 
fitness improves. 
The following table is a guide to those who are “starting fitness”.

Pulse Count

 

The pulse count(on your wrist or carotid artery in the neck, taken with two index fingers)is done for 
ten seconds, taken a few seconds after you stop exercising. This is for two reasons: (a) 10 seconds 
is long enough for accuracy, (b) the  pulse count is to approximate your BPM rate at the time you 
are exercising. Since heart rate slows as you recover, a longer count isn’t as accurate. 
 
The  target  is  not  a  magic  number,  but  a  general  guide.  If  you’re  above  average  fitness,  you  may 
work quite comfortably a little above that suggested for your age group. 
The following table is a guide to those who are keeping fit. Here we are working at about 80% of 
maximum.
