To get the most out of each workout, a general understanding of the principles
behind aerobic training is invaluable. The best source of fitness information is
your specialty fitness dealer. In addition to providing information on which
exercise equipment is the best for your individual needs, your specialty fitness
dealer can provide useful advice on training, technique, and exercise physiology.
Your dealer can also recommend good books on these subjects.

section provides some basic information on aerobic exercise—such as how
hard you should work out, how long each session should be, and how often you
need to exercise to benefit from a regular program.
