Why Heart Zone Exercise is Widely Used by Fitness/Sports Training
Experts.
Regular exercise can help keep the heart, lungs and muscles “in shape.”
The heart supplies the lungs and muscles with the oxygenated blood sup-
ply needed to exercise. Heart Rate represents the effects of exercise on all
parts of the body. Heart Zone Exercise systematically conditions the heart,
lungs, and muscles to perform at higher levels so the body can stay in shape.
Optimal Conditioning is Simply a Higher Training Habit
You do not have to be an athlete to get into optimal shape. Anyone at any
age can do this by using cross training to optimal condition. Follow these
guidelines:
• Pick the exercise activities you enjoy or the ones you need for a
training program.
• Train at the appropriate Target Heart Rate for 30 to 60 minutes 3-4
times a week.
• You will approach optimal condition when you can sustain a com-
plete exercise session without “burnout” or excessive fatigue or
excessive soreness.
