CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for  
several years or are severely overweight, start slowly and increase your workout time gradually. Increase  
your workout intensity gradually, too, by monitoring your heart rate while you exercise.  
Remember to follow these essentials:  
Have your doctor review your training and diet programs.  
Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your physician.  
Warm up before you exercise and cool down after you work out.  
Take your pulse periodically during your workout and strive to stay within a range of 60% (lower  
intensity) to 90% (higher intensity) of your maximum heart rate zone. Start at the lower intensity and  
build up to higher intensity as you become more aerobically fit.  
If you feel dizzy or lightheaded you should slow down or stop exercising.  
Initially you may only be able to exercise within your target zone for a few minutes; however, your aerobic  
capacity will improve over the next six to eight weeks. It is important to pace yourself while you exercise so  
you don't tire too quickly.  
To determine if you are working out at the correct intensity, use a heart rate monitor or use the table below.  
For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be maintained at a level between 60% and 90% of  
your maximum heart rate. If just starting an exercise program, work out at the low end of your target heart  
rate zone. As your aerobic capacity improves, gradually increase the intensity of your workout by increasing  
your heart rate.  
Measure your heart rate periodically during your workout by stopping the  
exercise but continuing to move your legs or walk around. Place two or three  
fingers on your wrist and take a six second heartbeat count. Multiply the results  
by ten to find your heart rate. For example, if your six second heartbeat count  
is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. A six second count is used  
wrist pulse  
because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop exercising. Adjust the  
intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is at the proper level.

*For cardiorespiratory training benefits, theAmerican College of Sports Medicine recommends working  
out within a heart rate range of 55% to 90% of maximum heart rate. To predict the maximum heart  
rate, the following formula was used: 220 - Age = predicted maximum heart rate

WARM-UP and COOL-DOWN  
Warm-up The purpose of warming up is to prepare your body for exercise and to minimize injuries. Warm  
up for two to five minutes before strength-training or aerobic exercising. Perform activities that raise your  
heart rate and warm the working muscles. Activities may include brisk walking, jogging, jumping jacks, jump  
rope, and running in place  
Stretching Stretching while your muscles are warm after a proper warm-up and again after your strength  
or aerobic training session is very important. Muscles stretch more easily at these times because of their  
elevated temperature, which greatly reduces the risk of injury. Stretches should be held for 15 to 30 seconds.  
Do not bounce.  
Suggested Stretching Exercises  
Lower Body Stretch  
Place feet shoulder-width  
apart and lean forward.  
Keep this position for 30  
seconds using the body as a  
natural weight to stretch the  
backs of the legs.  
Floor Stretch  
While sitting on the floor,  
open the legs as wide as  
possible. Stretch the upper  
body toward the knee on the  
right leg by using your arms  
to pull your chest to your  
thighs. Hold this stretch 10  
to 30 seconds.  
DO NOT BOUNCE!  
When the pull on the back of  
the legs lessen, try a lower  
position gradually.  
DO NOT BOUNCE!  
Do this stretch 10 times.  
Repeat the stretch with the  
left leg.  
Bent Torso Pulls  
Bent Over Leg Stretch  
Stand with feet shoulder-  
width apart and lean forward  
as illustrated. Using the  
arms, gently pull the upper  
body towards the right leg.  
Let the head hang down.  
DO NOT BOUNCE!  
Hold the position a minimum  
of 10 seconds. Repeat  
pulling the upper body to the  
left leg. Do this stretch  
several times slowly.  
While sitting on the floor,  
have legs apart one leg  
straight and one knee bent.  
Pull the chest down to touch  
the thigh on the leg that is  
bent and twist at the waist.  
Hold this position at least 10  
seconds. Repeat 10 times  
on each side.  
Remember always to check with your physician before starting any exercise program.  
Cool-Down The purpose of cooling down is to return the body to its normal, or near normal, resting state  
at the end of each exercise session. A proper cool-down slowly lowers your heart rate and allows blood to  
return to the heart. Your cool-down should include the stretches listed above and should be completed after  
each strength-training session.
