ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE BEGINNING AN ExERCISE PROGRAM.

HOW OFTEN? (Frequency of Workouts)

The  American  Heart  Association  recommends  that  you  exercise  at  least  3  to  4  days  per  week  to  maintain 

cardiovascular fitness. If you have other goals such as weight or fat loss, you will achieve your goal faster with 

more frequent exercise. Whether it’s 3 days or 6 days, remember that your ultimate goal should be to make 

exercise a lifetime habit. Many people are successful staying with a fitness program if they set aside a specific 

time of day to exercise. It doesn’t matter whether it’s in the morning before breakfast, during lunch hour or while 

watching the evening news. What’s more important is that it’s a time that allows you to keep a schedule, and a 

time when you won’t be interrupted. To be successful with your fitness program, you have to make it a priority in 

your life. So decide on a time, pull out your day planner and pencil in your exercise times for the next month!

HOW LONG? (Duration of Workouts)

For aerobic exercise benefits, it’s recommended that you exercise from between 24 and 60 minutes per session. 

But start slowly and gradually increase your exercise times. If you’ve been sedentary during the past year, it may 

be a good idea to keep your exercise times to as little as five minutes initially. Your body will need time to adjust 

to the new activity. If your goal is weight loss, a longer exercise session at lower intensities has been found to 

be most effective. A workout time of 48 minutes or more is recommended for best weight loss results.

HOW HARD? (Intensity of Workouts)

How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your machine to prepare for a 5K workout, 

you will probably work out at a higher intensity than if your goal is general fitness. Regardless of your long 

term goals, always begin an exercise program at low intensity. Aerobic exercise does not have to be painful to 

be beneficial! There are two ways to measure your exercise intensity. The first is by monitoring your heart rate 

(using the grip pulse handlebars or a wireless chest transmitter - may be sold separately), and the second is by 

evaluating your perceived exertion level (this is simpler than it sounds!).

PERCEIVED ExERTION LEVEL

A simple way to gauge your exercise intensity is to evaluate your perceived exertion level. While exercising, if you 

are too winded to maintain a conversation without gasping, you are working out too hard. A good rule of thumb 

is to work to the point of exhilaration, not exhaustion. If you cannot catch your breath, it’s time to slow down. 

Always be aware of these warning signs of overexertion.
