Aerobic Exercise
Aerobic exercise improves the fitness of your lungs and heart - your body’s most important muscle. Aerobic
exercise fitness is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscles (arms, legs or buttocks, for example).
Your heart beats quickly and you breathe deeply. An aerobic exercise should be part of your entire exercise
routine.
Weight Training
Along with aerobic exercising which helps get rid of and keep off the excess fat that our bodies can store,
weight training is an essential part of the routine process. Weight training helps tone, build and strengthen
muscle. If you are working above your target zone, you may want to do a lesser amount of reps.
As always, consult your doctor before beginning any exercise programme.

The exercise routine that is performed on the Men’s Health Home Gym will develop the upper and lower
body or combined total body muscle groups. These muscle groups are highlighted on the muscle chart
