OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.-
FITNESS.
Being fit means living life to the full.
Modern society suffers greatly from
stress. City life is basically sedentary.
There are too many calories and too
much fat in our diet. All doctors agree
that regular exercise is a good way to
control our weight, make us fitter and
help us to relax.
ADVANTAGES OF EXERCISE.-
Regular exercise below a certain level
for 15/20 minutes becomes aerobic.
Aerobic exercise is basically exercise
that uses oxygen. Normally, this is a
continuous exercise without pauses.
In addition to sugars and fats, the
body also needs oxygen. Regular
exercise improves the body's ability to
supply oxygen to all of the muscles
and at the same time improve lung
function, the heart's pumping capacity
and better blood circulation. In short,
the energy produced during exercise
burns kilocalories (known as calories).
The food we eat is transformed into,
among other things, energy (calories)
for our body.
If we take in more calories than we
burn then the result is an increase in
weight and vice versa, if we burn more
calories than we eat, we lose weight.
When resting the body burns around
70 calories per hour to keep our vital
functions active.
MONITOR THE HEART BEAT
The body's work rate is reflected by
the rate of the heart beat (pulsations)
which increases as the work rate
increases. The effort in your treadmill
depends on the speed. If you increase
the speed, the work rate and the heart
rate increase too. If the work rate
maintains constant, the heart rate
increases up to a point where no
matter how much work increases the
heart does not beat any faster. This is
known as the maximum heart rate and
it decrease with age. A familiar
formula for calculating this maximum
heart rate, where exhaustion sets in, is
22 minus age.
Exercising should be carried out at
between 65% to 85% of the maximum
heart rate for 15-20 mins and it is
recommentded that is should not
exceed 85%.
