EXERCISE GUIDELINES

THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS

Muscle Building

To increase the size and strength of your muscles,
push them close to their maximum capacity. Your mus-
cles will continually adapt and grow as you progres-
sively increase the intensity of your exercise. You can
adjust the intensity level of an individual exercise in
two ways: 
• by changing the amount of resistance used
• by changing the number of repetitions or sets per-

formed. (A “repetition” is one complete cycle of an
exercise, such as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of
repetitions.) 

The proper amount of resistance for each exercise
depends upon the individual user. You must gauge
your limits and select the amount of resistance that is
right for you. Begin with 3 sets of 8 repetitions for each
exercise you perform. Rest for 3 minutes after each
set. When you can complete 3 sets of 12 repetitions
without difficulty, increase the amount of resistance.  

Toning

You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a mod-
erate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate
amount of resistance and increase the number of rep-
etitions in each set. Complete as many sets of 15 to
20 repetitions as possible without discomfort. Rest for
1 minute after each set. Work your muscles by com-
pleting more sets rather than by using high amounts of
resistance.  

Weight Loss

To lose weight, use a low amount of resistance and
increase the number of repetitions in each set.
Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, resting for a maximum
of 30 seconds between sets. 

Cross Training

Cross training is an efficient way to get a complete and
well-balanced fitness program. An example of a bal-
anced program follows:
• Plan strength training workouts on Monday,

Wednesday, and Friday.

• Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as

running on a treadmill or riding on an elliptical exer-
ciser or exercise cycle, on Tuesday and Thursday.

• Rest from both strength training and aerobic exercise

for at least one full day each week to give your body
time to regenerate. 

The combination of strength training and aerobic exer-
cise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus devel-
op your heart and lungs. 

PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM

Determining the appropriate length of time for each
workout, and the numbers of repetitions and sets to
complete, is an individual matter. Avoid overdoing it
during the first few months of your exercise program.
Progress at your own pace and be sensitive to your
body’s signals. If you experience pain or dizziness
while exercising, stop immediately and cool down.
Find out what is wrong before continuing. Remember
that adequate rest and a proper diet are important fac-
tors in any exercise program.

WARMING UP

Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise to warm up. Warming up prepares
your body for more strenuous exercise by increasing
circulation, raising your body temperature and deliver-
ing more oxygen to your muscles.

WORKING OUT

Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercis-
es. Select exercises for every major muscle group,
emphasizing areas that you want to develop most. To
give balance and variety to your workouts, vary the
exercises from workout to workout. 

Schedule your workouts for the time of day when your
energy level is the highest. Each workout should be
followed by at least one day of rest. Once you find the
schedule that is right for you, stick with it.  

EXERCISE FORM

Maintaining proper form is an essential part of an
effective exercise program. This requires moving
through the full range of motion for each exercise, and
moving only the appropriate parts of the body.
Exercising in an uncontrolled way will leave you feel-
ing exhausted. On the exercise guide accompanying
this manual you will find photographs showing the cor-
rect form for several exercises, and a list of the mus-
cles affected. See the muscle chart on the next page
to find the names of the muscles. 

The repetitions in each set should be performed
smoothly and without pausing. The exertion stage of
each repetition should last about half as long as the
return stage. Proper breathing is important. Exhale
during the exertion stage of each repetition and inhale
during the return stroke. Never hold your breath.
