Your F.I.T. Program
C F: D E P
Workout: Brisk and Rhythmic Exercise
Working out trains and conditions your heart, lungs, and muscles
so your body can operate more efficiently. Gradually increase
the intensity of your workout to strengthen your cardiovascular
system. Concentrate on moving your arms and legs smoothly.
Walk naturally and avoid jerking motions that can cause pulled
muscles, sprained joints and loss of balance.
Cool-Down: Slow and Relaxed Exercise
Cooling down relaxes your muscles and gradually lowers your
heart rate. Slowly reduce your workload until your heart rate is
below 60 percent of your maximum heart rate. The cool down
should last at least five minutes, followed by some light stretching
to enhance your flexibility.
Beginning a Fitness Program
If you cannot sustain 12 continuous minutes in your target heart
rate zone, exercise several times a day to get into the habit of
exercising.
Try to reach and maintain 60-65 percent of your maximum heart
rate. Alternate exercise with periods of rest until you can sustain
12 continuous minutes of exercise at 60-65 percent of your
maximum heart rate.
Begin exercising in three to five minute sessions.
