Good health is an exercise in common sense.
The basics of good health are really common sense.
Eat right, drink lots of water, get enough sleep, and
exercise at least 3-4 times a week. It may sound
simple, but to achieve the look and vitality most
health-conscious men and women want, takes more
discipline than most people are willing to endure.
Having fitness equipment in your home makes it
easier to achieve your goals. And having Diamond-
back equipment gives you even more of an edge.
Because when your equipment is comfortable, simple
and effective, you exercise more. And that means
better results.
A workout that works for you.
To maintain cardio-
vascular fitness, the American Heart Association rec-
ommends that you exercise 3 to 4 days a week at
60%-75% of your maximum heart rate. By monitor-
ing your heart rate while you exercise, you can get
the most effective workout in the least amount of
time. It’s the easiest way of determining if you’re ex-
ercising at a safe and effective level. Of course, if
you want to lose weight or reach a higher level of
athletic conditioning, working out 5 to 6 times a week
will help you achieve that goal faster.
Get a smart start on exercising.
1. Always stretch before your workout to loosen muscles, and after-
wards to cool down.
2. The first few minutes of your workout should be devoted to warm-
ing up muscles before a vigorous workout, and building your
heart rate slowly.
3. After your aerobic workout of about 24-32 minutes, spend 10
minutes gradually reducing your heart rate with a lower resis-
tance level.
Remember, start slow, with intensity low, until you
build endurance and strength. And always con-
sult your physician before beginning any exercise
program.
