To get the most out of each workout, a general understanding of the principles
behind aerobic training is invaluable. The best source of information is your
specialty fitness dealer. In addition to providing information on which exercise
equipment is best for your individual needs, your fitness dealer can provide
useful advice on training, technique, and exercise physiology. Your dealer can
also recommend good books and audio/video tapes on these subjects.
To help you get started in planning and carrying out your fitness program, this
section provides some basic information on aerobic exercise—such as how
hard you should work out, how long each session should be, and how often you
need to exercise to benefit from a regular program.
