CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember
that proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your
doctor. This is especially important for people over the age of 35 or those
with health problems.
TARGET HEART RATE
Note: This is a guide only and
performance will depend on
the fitness and condition
(health) of the person using
the exercise equipment.
HOW TO TAKE YOUR PULSE
The most common place to measure
your pulse is the artery on the thumb-
side of the wrist.
Touch this area lightly until you feel
your pulse/heart beat. Count the
number of heart beats for 10
seconds and multiply by 6.
