Workouts
The workout must be suitably light, but of long
duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving
the body's maximum oxygen uptake, which in
turn improves endurance and fitness. You should
perspire, but you should not get out of breath
during the workout.
To reach and maintain a basic fitness level,
exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at
a time. Increase the number of exercise sessions
to improve your fitness level. It is worthwhile to
combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. A
person committed to dieting should exercise
daily, at first 30 minutes or less at a time,
gradually increasing the daily workout time to one
hour. Start your workout at low speed and low

resistance to prevent the cardiovascular system
from being subjected to excessive strain.
As the fitness level improves, speed and
resistance can be increased gradually. The
efficiency of your exercise can be measured by
monitoring your heart rate and your pulse rate.
