gets the muscles ready for exercise. It also reduces the

2. Exercise phase.
This phase requires the greatest physical exertion.
After regular exercise the leg muscles will become
more fl exible. It is important to keep the rhythm

enough to bring the heart rate into the target area, as
shown on the following graph:
is
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 fitness
then you should change your training program. Do the
warm-up and cool-down 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 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.
