More F.I.T. Concept Overview

CREATING AN EXERCISE PLAN

regular exercise. Never exceed your target heart rate zone.

Increase the workload on the elliptical to raise your heart rate

to the level recommended by your doctor.

METs

One MET is the amount of energy your body uses when you're

resting. If a physical activity has an equivalent of six METs, its

energy demands are six times that of your resting state. The

MET is a useful measurement because it accounts for

differences in body weight.

Time: How Long You Exercise

Sustained exercise conditions your heart, lungs, and muscles.

The longer you are able to sustain exercise within your target

heart range, the greater the aerobic benefits.

To begin, maintain two to three minutes of steady, rhythmic

exercise and then check your heart rate.

The initial goal for aerobic training is 12 continuous minutes.

Increase your workout time approximately one or two minutes

per week until you are able to maintain 20-30 continuous

minutes at your training heart rate.
