V. EXERCISE GUIDE
Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician. This is
important especially if you are over the age of 45 or individuals with pre-
existing health problems.
The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the
user’s movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The
pulse sensors are intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart
rate trends in general.
Exercising is great way to control your weight, improving your fitness and
reduce the effect of aging and stress. The key to success is to make
exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
The condition of your heart and lungs and how efficient they are in
delivering oxygen via your blood to your muscles is an important factor to
your fitness. Your muscles use this oxygen to provide enough energy for
daily activity. This is called aerobic activity. When you are fit, your heart
will not have to work so hard. It will pump a lot fewer times per minute,
reducing the wear and tear of your heart.
WORKOUT WARM UP
Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and some light
exercises. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate
and circulation in preparation for exercise. Ease into your exercise.
