Exercise Guidelines
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
Muscle Building
- In order to increase the size and strength of your muscles, you must push your muscles to a high percentage of their capacity. You must also progressively increase the intensity of your exercise so that your muscles will continually adapt and grow. Each individual exercise can be tailored to the proper intensity
level by changing the amount of weight used, or the number of repetitions or sets performed. (A =repetition” is one complete cycle of an exercise, such as
one sit-up. A “set” is a series of repetitions performed consecutively.)
Toning
- To tone your muscles, you must push your muscles to a moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate amount of we{ght and increase the number of repetitions in each set. Complete as many sets of 15 to 20 repetitions as possible without discomfort. Rest for I minute after each set. Work your muscles by completing more sets rather than by using high amounts of weight.
Weight Loss
- To lose weight, use a low amount of weight 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
- In the pursuit of a complete and well-balanced fitness program, many have found that cross-training is the answer. We recommend that on Monday,’ Wednesday, and Friday, you plan weight training workouts. On Tuesday and Thursday, plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as cycling, running or swimming. Rest from both weight training and aerobic exercise for at least one full day each week to give your body time to regenerate. By combining weight training with aerobic exercise, you can reshape and strengthen your body, plus develop a stronger heart and lungs.
PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
- We have not specified an exact length of time for each workout or a specific number of repetitions or sets for each exercise. It is very important to avoid overdoing it during the first few months of your exercise program and to progress at your own pace. If you experience pain or dizziness at any time while exercising, stop immediately and begin to cool down. Find out what is wrong before continuing. Remember that adequate rest and a proper diet are also important.
WARMING UP
- Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of light stretching and exercise to warm up. Warming up prepares your body for exercise by increasing circulation, raising your body temperature a,nd delivering more oxygen to your muscles.
WORKING OUT
- Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercises. Select exercises for every major muscle group, with emphasis on the areas that you want to develop the 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.
