Cardiovascular fitness tips (Aerobic)
- Begin your exercise with a 5–10 minute warm-up. For example, walk on the treadmill moderately before beginning a jog or run.
- End your workout with a 5–10 minute cool-down (moderately walk after a jog/run to bring the heart rate back down to a resting rate) and stretch (hold each stretch for 8–10 seconds with no bouncing).
- Modify your intensity level to train within your target heart rate zone. To find your target heart rate zone use the following calculation:
[220-Your Age] = HeartRate (for a 20-year-old 220–20=200)
HeartRater X 60% (.60) = Target heart rate for beginning exerciser
(200 X .60=120 beats per minute) (120 beats per minute =20 beats per 10 second count).
Heart Rate X 90% (.90) = Target heart rate for advanced exerciser
(200 X .90=180 beats per minute) (180 beats per minute = 30 beats per 10 second count).
