TRAINING
GUIDELINES
(cont'd)
increased as the body adapts to the increasing demands. As your fitness level improves, the training
threshold
should be raised. Working through
your program and gradually increasing.the
overload
factor is important.
Specifics
Different forms of exercise produce different
results. The type of exercise that is carried out is
specific both to the muscle groups being used and to the ener_
sou rce involved.
There is little
transfer of the effects of exercise, i.e. from strength training to cardiovascu la r fitness.
That is why it
is important
to have an exercise program tailored to your specific needs.
Reversibility
If you stop exercising or do not doyour
program often enough, you will lose the benefits you have
gained. Regular workouts
are the key to success.
Warm Up
Every exercise program should start with a warm upwhere
the body is prepared for the effort to
come.
It should be gentle and preferably
use the muscles to be involved later. Stretching
should be
included in both your warm up and cool down, and should be performed
after 3-5 minutes of low
intensity aerobic activity or callisthenic
type exercise.
Warm Down or Cool Down
This involves a gradual decrease in the intensity of the exercise session. Following exercise, a large
supply of blood remains in the working muscles. If it is not returned
promptlyto
the central
circulation,
pooling of blood may occur in the muscles.
Heart Rate
As you exercise, the rate at which your heart beat increases. This is often used as a measure of the
required intensity
of exercise. You need to exercise ha rd enough to co ndition your circ ulatory system,
and increase your pulse rate, but not enough to strain your heart. Your initial level of fitness is
important
in developing
an exercise program for you. If you are starting
off, you can get a good
training effect with a heart rate of 110-120 beats per minute (bpm). If you are more fit, you will need
a higher threshold
of stimulation.
To begin with, you should exercise at a level that elevates your
heart rate to about 65 to 70% of your maximum.
If you find this is too easy, you may want to
increase it, but it is better to lean on the conservative
side.
As a rule of thumb, the maximum
heart rate is 220 minus your age. As you increase in age, your
heart, like other muscles, loses some of its efficiency. Some of its natural loss is won back as fitness

im proves. The following
table is a guide to those who are "starting fitness".

Pulse Count
The pulse count (on your wrist or carotid artery in the neck, taken with two index fingers) is done for
ten seconds, taken a few seconds after you stop exercising. This is for two reasons:
