To succeed with an aerobic fat burning workout or cardiovascular
exercise fitness program, you need to pay attention to the
following issues
* The frequency at which you perform the workout
* The intensity of your workout
* your motivation for exercising
* the duration of the exercise
First learn the basics, then perform the program. If you follow
the guidelines below along with your exercise you will succeed.
Frequency
The keys to weight loss and fitness are
* decent eating habits
* aerobic exercise three to five times a week
To maintain your present body condition, you should exercise at
least twice a week.
Intensity
The level of exertion should exceed mild demands but at the same
time avoiding breathlessness and fatigue. Use the pulse rate or
heart rate as a guide to determine the intensity of your
training level. This can easily be done with a heart rate
monitor. To make your cardiovascular workout effective, your
heart rate must be maintained at a level between 70% and 85% of
the maximum heart rate. This is also known as the target
training zone.
Set up your workout intensity so that your heart rate is kept
near the low end of the target training zone (approximately
70%). For each month that passes, you should gradually increase
the heart rate until it reaches the high end of the rating zone.
As your condition improves, a greater workload will be required
in order to raise the heart rate to the training zone. You
should stop your exercise immediately and obtain medical
assistance if fatigue or breathing becomes excessive during a
training session. Motivation
To be able to perform an effective aerobic training program,
you'll need to stay motivated. Regular and consistent exercising
is the key to success. Therefore plan the workout to a regular
time and place. Also record your performance and compare it to
your plan.
Duration
Each workout should be structured into three main parts;
1. warm up
2. the training zone exercise
3. cool down.
It is important to prepare your body for an intensive exercise.
Five to ten minutes of stretching can will do as a good warm up.
Start your zone exercise with low intensity then increase it
gradually the training zone for a period of fifteen to thirty
minutes. Cool down with five to ten minutes of stretching or
light workout.
