EXERCISE GUIDELINES
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
Muscle Building

sity level of an individual exercise in two ways:
• by changing the amount of weight used
sensitive to your body’s signals. If you experience pain
or dizziness at any time while exercising, stop immedi-
• by changing the numbers of repetitions and sets per- ately and begin cooling down. Find out what is wrong
formed. (A “repetition” is one complete cycle of an
exercise, such as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of
repetitions.)
before continuing. Remember that adequate rest and a
proper diet are important factors in any exercise pro-
gram.
The proper amount of weight for each exercise
depends upon the individual user. You must gauge
WARMING UP

for you. Begin with 3 sets of 8 repetitions for each
exercise that you perform. Rest for 3 minutes after
each set. When you can complete 3 sets of 12 repeti-
tions without difficulty, increase the amount of weight.
and light exercise to warm up. Warming up prepares
your body for more strenuous exercise by increasing
circulation, raising your body temperature, and deliver-
ing more oxygen to your muscles.
Toning
WORKING OUT
You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a mod-
erate percentage of their capacity. Select a moderate
amount of weight, and increase the number of repeti-
tions in each set. Complete as many sets of 15 to 20
repetitions as possible without discomfort. Rest for 1
minute after each set. Work your muscles by complet-
ing more sets rather than by using high amounts of
weight.
Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercis-
es. Select exercises for every major muscle group,
emphasizing areas that you want to develop the most.
To give balance and variety to your workouts, vary the
exercises from workout to workout.
Schedule your workouts for the time of day when your
energy level is the highest. Each workout should be
followed by at least one day of rest. Once you find the
schedule that is right for you, stick with it.
Weight Loss
To lose weight, use a low amount of weight and
increase the number of repetitions in each set.
Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, resting for a maximum
of 30 seconds between sets.
EXERCISE FORM
Maintaining proper form is an essential part of an
effective exercise program. This requires moving
Cross Training
Cross training is an efficient way to get a complete and through the full range of motion for each exercise, and
well-balanced fitness program. An example of a bal-
anced program follows:
• Plan strength training workouts on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday.
• Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as
running on a treadmill or riding on an exercise cycle
or an elliptical exerciser, on Tuesday and Thursday.
moving only the appropriate parts of the body.
Exercising in an uncontrolled manner will leave you
feeling exhausted. On the exercise guide accompany-
ing this manual you will find photographs showing the
correct form for several exercises.
The repetitions in each set should be performed

cise will reshape and strengthen your body and devel-
op your heart and lungs.
9
Rest for a short period of time after each set. The
ideal resting periods follow:
• Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle-
building workout.
Move slowly as you stretch—do not bounce. Ease
into each stretch gradually and go only as far as you
can without strain. Stretching at the end of each work-
out is an effective way to increase flexibility.
• Rest for one minute after each set for a toning work-
out.
STAYING MOTIVATED
• Rest for 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss
workout.
Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarizing
yourself with the equipment and learning the proper
form for each exercise.
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. List the
date, the exercises performed, the resistance used,
and the numbers of sets and repetitions completed.
Record your weight and key body measurements at
the end of every month. Remember, the key to achiev-
ing the greatest results is to make exercise a regular
and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
COOLING DOWN
Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-
ing. Include stretches for both your arms and legs.
