Users should pass a full medical examination before they begin an exercise program. If you feel any pain or discomfort, stop exercising immediately and consult your doctor. [. . . ] Regular exercise improves the body's ability to supply oxygen to all of the muscles and at the same time improve lung function, the heart's pumping capacity and better blood circulation. In short, the energy produced during exercise burns kilocalories (known as calories). EXERCISE & WEIGHT CONTROL The food we eat is transformed into, among other things, energy (calories) for our body. If we take in more calories than we burn then the result is an increase in weight and vice versa, if we burn more calories than we eat, we lose weight. When resting the body burns around 70 calories per hour to keep our vital functions active. The table shows approximate energy use for an average person doing various activities. Table II ACTIVITY Walking, moderate pace Housework Swimming (400 m/h) Dancing Walking, brisk (6 km/h) Tennis Cycling (30 km/h) Squash CALORIES USED PER HOUR 140 150 300 350 370 420 500 690 EXERCISE PROGRAM Regardless of whether your goal is to become more fit, control your weight or for physiotherapy, always remember that your exercise should be gradual, planned, varied and not too demanding. Before beginning a session it is important to do a warm-up for 2-3 minutes at low speed. This will help protect your muscles and prepare your cardio respiratory system. The next stage will last 15-20 minutes at a pulse rate of between 65 to 75%, or between 75 to 85% for those already accustomed to exercise. At a later stage, once we have become fit, we can divide this time between both levels but always remembering that the pulse rate must not exceed 85% (aerobic area) and never reach the maximum heart rate limit that corresponds to our age. 13 BH Fitness · 20155 Ellipse · Foothill Ranch · CA · 92610 www. bhfitness. com · Phone 949-206-8152 · Fax 949-206-0013 T5 Treadmill FITNESS AND EXERCISE CONTINUED When you have finished, it is important to relax the muscles.
