Conditioning Guidelines

- Frequency: 3-4 days per week for cardiovascular fitness, more for weight or fat loss.
- Duration: 24-60 minutes per session for aerobic benefits, starting with shorter durations and gradually increasing. Longer sessions (48+ minutes) are recommended for weight loss.
- Intensity: Measured by heart rate (using grip pulse handlebars or a wireless chest transmitter, if available) or perceived exertion level. Users should work to the point of exhilaration, not exhaustion, and be able to maintain a conversation without gasping.
- Target Heart Rate Zone Chart: Provides a guide for optimal heart rate based on age, with recommendations for 60-75% of maximum heart rate.
- Stretching: Gentle stretching exercises are recommended before and after workouts to improve flexibility and reduce injury.
- Warm-up and Cool-down: A 2-5 minute warm-up and 3-5 minute cool-down period are crucial for preparing the body and allowing it to readjust.
- Fitness Goals: Encourages users to define precise, measurable goals (e.g., weight loss, improved muscle tone, increased energy, sports performance, cardiovascular endurance) and track progress using console readouts.
