It is important to keep the rhythm
constant. The rhythm of the exercise
should be fast enough to bring the
heart rate into the target area, as
shown on the following graph:
This phase should last at least 12
minutes, although it is advisable for
most people to start off with sessions of
10-15 minutes.
3. Cool-down phase
This phase allows the cardiovascular
and muscle system to relax. It consists
of repeating the warm-up exercises, i.e.
reducing the rhythm and continuing for
approximately 5 minutes. Repeat the
stretching exercises but remember not
to overexert the muscles.
Eventually your training sessions will
have to become longer and more
intensive. It is advisable to exercise at
least three days per week, on alternate
days.
Muscle toning.
You should select a high exertion level
in order to tone muscles during
exercise. This entails greater stress on
the leg muscles, so it may be wise to
reduce exercise times. If you also wish
to improve your overall fi tness then
you
should
change
program.
Do
cooldown exercises as normal but
when you are reaching the end of the
exercise phase, increase the exertion
level in order to make your legs work
your
training
the
warm-up
harder. You should reduce speed in
order to keep your heart rate within the
target area.
Weight loss. In this case the important
factor is the effort made. The more
intense and the longer the session, the
greater the number of calories burned.
Even though you are dong the same
work as you do to improve fitness, the
objective has changed.
