as close as possible  
To begin exercising, pull the handlebar toward your  
waist while pushing the pedals away with your legs.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
WARNING:  
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does  
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If  
your goal is to burn fat, adjust your pace until your  
heart rate is near the lowest number in your training  
zone as you exercise. For increased fat burning,  
adjust your pace until your heart rate is near the mid-  
dle number in your training zone as you exercise.  
Before beginning this or any exercise pro-  
gram, consult your physician. This is espe-  
cially important for persons over the age of 35  
or persons with pre-existing health problems.  
Aerobic Exercise  
The following general guidelines will help you to plan  
your exercise program. Remember that proper nutri-  
tion and adequate rest are essential for successful  
results.  
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-  
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise  
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for  
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand  
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the  
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,  
adjust your pace until your heart rate is near the high-  
est number in your training zone.  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the  
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.  
The proper intensity level can be found by using your  
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-  
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burn-  
ing, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.  
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE  
To measure your  
heart rate, first exer-  
cise for at least four  
minutes. Then, stop  
exercising and place  
two fingers on your  
wrist as shown.  
Take a six-second  
heartbeat count,  
and multiply the result by 10 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 because your heart rate will drop rapidly  
when you stop exercising.)  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the  
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above  
your age. The three numbers are your “training zone.”  
The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates  
for fat burning; the highest number is the recommend-  
ed heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
Adjust your pace until your heart rate is at the desired  
level.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
Each workout should include the following three parts:  
Fat Burning  
A warm-up, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and  
light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body  
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation  
for exercise.  
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-  
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.  
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body  
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-  
11  
 
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-  
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training  
zone. (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 exer-  
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each  
week, if desired. The key to success is make exercise  
a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.  
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This  
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will  
help to prevent post-exercise problems.  
SUGGESTED STRETCHES  
1
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.  
Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.  
1. Toe Touch Stretch  
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from  
your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach  
down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then  
relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and  
back.  
2
2. Hamstring Stretch  
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot  
toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg.  
Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,  
then relax. Repeat 3 times for both legs. Stretches: Hamstrings,  
lower back and groin.  
3
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch  
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your  
hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back  
foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move  
your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3  
times for both legs. To cause further stretching of the achilles ten-  
dons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles ten-  
dons and ankles.  
4
4. Quadriceps Stretch  
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp  
one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your but-  
tocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times  
for both legs. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.  
5
5. Inner Thigh Stretch  
Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.  
Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15  
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip  
muscles.
