A Cardiovascular Exercise Programme - Do Not Delay; Get Started Today!

By Andy G Smith


In an earlier article I described the benefits of exercising at an intensity of 7 out of 10, or 70% of your maximum heart rate. The scale from 1 to 10 is called the 'rate of perceived exertion' and I will refer to it as RPE as I explain how to improve your current cardiovascular fitness.

Your goal is to build up progressively until you are capable of sustaining 30 minutes of cardiovascular activity at an RPE of 7 or more. This is the case for everyone, irrespective of your personal goals. This intensity will enable you to burn fat as well as improve the efficiency of your heart and lungs (CV fitness).

Usana Associates are encouraged to share the vision of Usana, by showing friends, family and colleagues the benefits of the world-leading pharmaceutical grade products. When you truly understand the many benefits of the Usana products, you can feel proud to represent Usana! By sharing the vision of true health with friends and family, you can help to educate them and encourage them to take responsibility for their own health. This is a powerful approach to developing a dedicated and loyal repeat customer base, whilst helping your loved ones to improve their general health and wellbeing.

Try to complete 3 sessions of up to 30 minutes duration each and every week starting from today! Make a note at the end of each day describing how you felt once you completed the exercise.

However, if you cannot sustain at least 20 minutes at greater intensity then you should reduce your intensity to achieve the full amount of time. In my opinion this is the only time you should exercise at a lower intensity (other than warm ups and cool downs). Working at 6 out of 10 will NOT encourage your body to undergo change and become a fat burning machine!

We are all responsible for making the dream of 'true health' a reality around the world!
