CAUTION: Heart rate detection and transmission devices have been known to
interfere with the operation of pacemakers, possibly endangering human life. If you
have a pacemaker, exercise under your doctor’s supervision; take a test to ensure
your safety during the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and heart rate detection
devices. The use of such devices must be undertaken at your own risk.
Note that in dry areas in particular, static electricity can interfere with unit operation
and shock people. To discharge static electricity from your body, touch something
else before touching metal on the fitness product.
8. GUIDELINES FOR EXERCISE
HOW HARD SHOULD I EXERCISE?
Studies show that to benefit from aerobic
exercise, people need to maintain a certain
heart rate during their workouts. Your heart rate
training zone depends on your age and fitness
level.
The darkened area in the chart to the right
represents the recommended heart rate
training zone for people of various ages. It was
calculated by taking 220 minus age in years, multiplied by 65% and 80%. The area
between those values is the heart rate training zone.
CAUTION: Heart rate training zones are generalizations and may not suit every
person. Always check with your physician to understand what heart rate goal would
be appropriate for you.
HOW LONG SHOULD I EXERCISE?
The duration of your workout must depend on your fitness level. In general, it is
recommended that you maintain a heart rate within your training zone for at least
15 to 20 minutes to experience the benefits of aerobic exercise. Beginners should
always start out slowly and gradually increase the duration and intensity of their
workouts. As your fitness level improves, you will be able to maintain a heart rate
within the training zone for longer periods of time.
When you begin your workout, use the first several minutes to warm up. Then slowly
increase the intensity of your workout to bring your heart rate into your training zone.
At the end of your workout, gradually decrease your workload. Then exercise lightly
to cool down.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I EXERCISE?
Research indicates that to achieve the greatest benefit, people should exercise
three to five times per week. It is important to allow sufficient time, at least 24 hours,
for your body to recover after exercise.
