Important Information 25
or tightness in your chest, an irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath or you feel faint or have any discomfort when you exercise STOP. Consult your
physician before continuing. Remember every workout should begin with warm-up and finished with cool-down.
Cool down: Slow and Relaxed Exercise
The cool-down allows your body’s cardiovascular system to gradually return to normal and should be roughly 5-10 minutes. Lower your exercise
intensity gradually, and when your heart rate has returned below 110 beats per minutes, you can end your workout.
Monitoring Your Heart Rate
To obtain the greatest cardiovascular benefits from your exercise workout, it is important to work within your target heart rate zone. The American
Heart Association (AHA) defines this target as 60%-75% percent of your maximum heart rate.
Your maximum heart rate may be roughly calculated by subtracting your age from 220. Your maximum heart rate and aerobic capacity naturally
decreases as you age. This may vary from one person to another, but use this number to find your approximate effective target zone. For exam-
ple, the maximum heart rate for an average 40 year-old is 180 bpm. The target heart rate zone is 60%-75% of 180 or 108-135 bpm.
