Cardio – Training:
Before programming your training, it is essential to take account of your age, particularly for people of
more than 35 years of age, as well as your physical condition. If you have a sedentary lifestyle
without regular physical activity, it is vital that you consult your doctor to determine the level of
intensity of your training. Once determined, do not attempt to achieve your maximum during the
first training sessions. Be patient; your performance will quickly improve.
This enables you to develop your cardiovascular system (fitness of the heart / blood vessels). During
Cardio-Training, the muscles need a supply of oxygen and nutritive substances. They also need to
liminate waste. Our heart increases its rhythm and sends a larger amount of oxygen to the body by
means of the cardiovascular system.
The more often you exercise regularly and repetitively, the more your heart will develop, just like any
other muscle. In daily life, this translates into the ability to bear greater physical effort and improve
your intellectual faculties.
Definition of your work Zone:
The Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) = 220 - age (180 – age for sedentary people).
The Warming Up Zone and Cooling Down Zone are equal to 55% of your MHR.
The Fat Loss Zone is between 55 / 65% of your MHR.
The Aerobic Zone is between 65 / 85% of your MHR.
The Anaerobic Zone is between 85% of your MHR and your MHR.
The progressive training stages:
1) A warming up phase:
Start each training session by warming up progressively (10-20 min, more if you are over 50) which will
put your muscles on standby and gently increase your heart rate. Gently increase your pulse to 55% of
your MHR (Maximum Heart Rate).
Keep your Heart Rate at this level for the duration of the warming up time. If you
begin your training too quickly, you are in danger of increasing the risk of tendon or muscle injury.
2) A work phase:
