10. WARM-UP AND COOL-DOWN
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body tem-
perature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone. (Note:
During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than
20 minutes.)

EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts.
After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, if desired. Remember, the key
to success is make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
