Workout guidelines (continued)
Get a smart start on exercising.
Anyone over the age of 35, as well as younger persons whom are overweight, should
check with his/her physician before beginning any type of exercise program. People
who have diabetes or high blood pressure, a family history of heart disease, high
cholesterol or have lead a sedentary lifestyle should protect themselves with a med-
ical check-up and a stress test, preferably administered during exercise by a health-
care professional.
1. Always stretch before your workout to loosen muscles, and afterwards to cool down.
2. The first few minutes of your workout should be devoted to warming up muscles
before a vigorous workout, and building your heart rate slowly.
3. After your aerobic workout of about 24-32 minutes, spend 10 minutes gradually
reducing your heart rate with a lower resistance level.
Remember, to start slow, with intensity low, until you build endurance and strength.
And always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
