A Sports Training Program

chapter Five: Creating an Exercise Plan

Try to reach and maintain 60-75 percent of your maximum

heart rate with moderate exercise.

Exercise for 30-45 minutes at 60-65 percent of your target heart

rate.

Here are some tips to achieving your weight management

goal:

Consume most of your dietary calories at breakfast and lunch,

and eat a light dinner. Do not eat close to bedtime.

Exercise before meals. Moderate exercise will help suppress

your appetite.

Take exercise breaks throughout the day to help increase

metabolism (calorie expenditure).

When you are training to improve strength and

performance:

Exercise four to five days a week. Alternate exercise days and

intervals of hard to very hard exercise with easy to moderate

exercise.

Exercise for 30 minutes or longer.

Warning: these strategies are intended for average, healthy

adults. If you have pain or tightness in your chest, an irregular

heartbeat, shortness of breath or if you feel faint or have any

discomfort when you exercise, stop! Consult your physician

before continuing. Remember, every workout should begin with

a warm-up and finish with a cool-down.
