WHAT IS FITNESS

What is fitness? Generally it can be described as a fitness exercise that causes your heart to pump more oxygen to your muscles via the blood from your lungs. The harder the workout, the more fuel (oxygen) the muscles require to achieve this rate of oxygen. The heart has to pump harder to get the oxygenated blood into the muscles. If you have good stamina, your heart pumps more blood with each heartbeat. The heart will not have to beat that often to transport the necessary oxygen into your muscles. Your resting heart rate and heart rate during exercise will reduce.

TRAINING BY HEART RATE

While training it is important to monitor your heart rate. The heart rate is essential for the result of your training. Your best training heart rate depends firstly on your age. Your maximum heart beat can be determined by this. Secondly, the most effective heart rate depends on your training goals. If your training goal is to lose weight, then the most effective training is at 60% of your maximum heart rate. If your training goal is to improve your stamina, then you should train at 85% of your maximum heart rate. The body stores energy in two forms: carbohydrates and fat. When we exercise we use a combination of these two energy supplies. If the training intensity is at a high level the body will mostly choose the energy that burns fast: carbohydrates. Since there is a limited supply of these carbohydrates you can't continue this for a long period of time. When training at a low intensity the body will mostly choose to use a long lasting source of energy: fat. Since this is stored in large quantities in the body, you can continue this kind of training for a longer time.

DETERMINING YOUR TRAININGS GOAL

Below you will find a schedule allowing you to calculate the best heart rate for your training. In this schedule each age category has a range that your heart rate should be in during your training. The middle column has the values you should try to maintain if you want to lose weight. If you want to improve your stamina you should try to maintain the rates in the right column. For each individual the best way to start training is different. If you have not exercised in some time or are overweight, you should start your training schedule slowly and gradually increase the level of activity.

Age	Losing Weight(beats per minute)60%	Improving stamina(beats per minute)85%
20 - 24 120 - 118 170 - 167
25 - 29 117 - 115 166 - 163
30 - 34 114 - 112 162 - 158
35 - 39 111 - 109 157 - 154
40 - 44 108 - 106 153 - 150
45 - 49 105 - 103 149 - 145
50 - 54 102 - 100 144 - 141
55 - 59 99 - 97 140 - 137
60 and older 96 - 94 136 - 133

In the last chapter of this instruction manual you will find several different training schedules (chapter 5, general information). You can use these schedules to reach your training goals. The schedules are divided in two phases. The first phase can be used for beginners or persons who start training after a long period of inactivity. During this phase the level of intensity is built up gradually. After six weeks the second phase begins. You can then choose a training schedule to lose weight or improve your stamina.

WARMING UP & COOLING DOWN

A good training schedule starts with a good warming up and ends with a cooling down of the muscles. This will prevent painful muscles and injury. Below you will find some suitable exercises.

Head Roll

Tilt your head to the right. Hold this for one second, so that you feel a little pull in the muscles on the left side of your neck. Do the same for the other side, front and back. Repeat two or three times.

Toe Touch

Slowly bend forward with your back and arms relaxed. Bend as far as you can and hold the position for ten seconds. Repeat this two or three times.

Side Stretch

Extend both your arms up in the air and reach as high as you can with your right arm. Lean a bit to the left so that the muscles in the right side of your torso are stretched. Hold this position for one second. Relax and make the same motion on the other side of your body. Repeat this three or four times.

Knee bend

Set your feet shoulder-width apart and your stretched your hands out. Lower yourself no more than 10cm by bending your knees. Come back up again and repeat several times.

Lower back stretch

Begin on all fours. Stretch your arms out in front of you, allowing your face to lower to a position near the floor. Gently sit back. Rest your glutes just above your heels. Ease back and feel the gentle stretch in your lower back.

Hamstring Stretch

Sit down on the floor with your right leg extended in front of you and place the sole of your left foot on the inside of your right upper leg. Bend forward in the direction of your right foot and hold this position for ten seconds. Relax and then do the same with your other leg. Repeat two or three times.
