EXERCISE INFORMATION

THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUT

MUSCLE BUILDINGTo increase the size and strength of your muscles, push them close to their maximum capacity. Your muscles will adapt and grow as you progressively increase the intensity of your exercise. You can adjust the intensity level of an individual exercise in two ways:• By changing the amount of resistance used• By changing the number of repetitions or sets performed. (A“repetition” is one complete cycle of an • Exercise, such as one sit-up. A“set” is a series of repetitions.)

The proper amount of resistance for each exercise depends upon the individual user. You must gauge your limits and select the amount of resistance that is right for you. Begin with 3 sets of 8 repetitions for each exercise you perform. Rest for 3 minutes after each set. When you can complete 3 sets of 12 repetitions without difficulty, increase the amount of resistance.

TONINGYou can tone your muscles by pushing them to a moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate amount of resistance and increase the number of repetitions in each set. Complete as many sets of 15 to 20 repetitions as possible without discomfort. Rest for 1 minute after each set. Work your muscles by completing more sets rather than by using high amounts of resistance.

WEIGHT LOSSTo lose weight, use a low amount of resistance and increase the number of repetitions in each set. Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, resting for a maximum of 30 seconds between sets.

CROSS TRAININGCross training is an efficient way to get a complete and well-balanced fitness program. An example of a balanced program is:• Plan strength training workouts on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.• Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as running on a treadmill or riding on an elliptical or • exercise bike, on Tuesday and Thursday.• Rest from both stregnth training and aerobic exercise for atleast one full day each week to give your

body time to regenerate.

The combination of strength training and aerobic exercise will reshape and strengthen your body, plus develop your heart and lungs.

CUSTOMISE YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAMDetermining the exact length of time for each workout, as well as the number of repetitions or sets completed, is an individual matter. It is important to avoid overdoing it during the first few months of your exercise pro- gram. You should progress at your own pace and be sensitive to your body’s signals. If you experience pain or dizziness at any time while exercising, stop immediately and begin cooling down. Find out what is wrong be- fore continuing. Remember that adequate rest and a proper diet are important factors in any exercise program.

WARMING UPBegin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise to warm up. Warming up prepares your body for more strenuous exercise by increasing circulation, raising your body temperature and delivering more oxygen to your muscles.

18 POWER GYM 1.0

EXERCISE INFORMATION

WORKING OUTEach workout should include 6 to 10 different exercises. Select exercises for every major muscle group, emphasising areas that you want to develop most. To give balance and variety to your workouts, vary the exercises from session to session.

Schedule your workouts for the time of day when your energy level is the highest. Each workout should be followed by at least one day of rest. Once you find the schedule that is right for you, stick with it.

EXERCISE FORMMaintaining proper form is an essential part of an effective exercise program. This requires moving through the full range of motion for each exercise, and moving only the appropriate parts of the body. Exercising in an uncontrolled manner will leave you feeling exhausted. The repetitions in each set should be performed smoothly and without pausing. The exertion stage of each repetition should last about half as long as the return stage.Proper breathing is important. Exhale during the exertion stage of each repetition and inhale during the return stroke. Never hold your breath. Rest for a short period of time after each set. The ideal resting periods are:

• Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle building workout.• Rest for one minute after each set for a toning workout.• Rest for 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss workout.

Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarizing yourself with the equipment and learning the proper your- the proper form for each exercise.

COOLING DOWNEnd each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move slowly as you stretch and do not bounce. Ease into each stretch gradually and go only as far as you can without strain. Stretching at the end of each workout is an effective way to increase flexibility. STAYING MOTIVATEDFor motivation, keep a record of each workout. List the date, the exercises performed, the resistance used, and the numbers of sets and repetitions completed. Record your weight and key body measurements at the end of every month. Remember, the key to achieving the greatest results is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

To maximise the benefits of exercising, it is important to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensitylevel can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should bemaintained at a level between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise. This is known as yourtarget zone. You can find your target zone in the table below.

During the first few months of your exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low end of your target zone asyou exercise. After a few months, your heart rate can be increased gradually until it is near the middle of yourtarget zone as you exercise.

To measure your heart rate, stop exercising but continue moving your legs or walking around and place two fingerson your wrist. Take a six second heartbeat count and multiply the results by 10 to find your heart rate. Forexample, if your six second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. (A six second count isused because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop exercising).

Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is at the proper level.
