Cardio or Muscle Toning/Strength Training Workout Your warm-up should be followed by either a muscle toning and strength training workout with the Perfect Situp or a cardio workout, depending on your workout ® plan for that day. Regardless of which type of workout you are doing, build up as your current fitness level allows and progress at a rate that is comfortable to you.

When to Exercise The hour just before the evening meal is a popular time for exercise. The late afternoon workout provides a welcome change of pace at the end of the work day and helps dissolve the day’s worries and tensions. Another popular time to work out is early morning, before the work day begins.
Warm-up & Cool Down Stretches Stretches can help improve flexibility and relieve the tightness in muscles that results from repetitive sport movements. 10 to 12 minutes of daily stretching is recommended. This should be done when warming up and cooling down. When performing these stretches, your movements should be slow and smooth, with no bouncing or jerking.

We recommend that you do the Perfect Situp Workout 3 times a week, and perform the exercises in the order shown on the chart. Determine your fitness level and follow the appropriate workout on the Workout Chart included with your product.
Intermediate – Have been exercising regularly for at least 3 weeks. If you started the Perfect Situp system as a beginner, you can progress to the Intermediate level after 3 weeks. Once you can comfortably complete all of the exercises and suggested repetitions in the Intermediate workout with good technique, you may repeat the exercise routine for a second or third set.
Cardiovascular Conditioning Exercise that challenges the heart is a simple part of an exercise program – almost anyone can walk, run, treadmill, climb steps, or bike. But, creating a progressive, time efficient and results oriented cardio program takes a little planning. A properly designed and consistently performed cardiovascular training program is an essential part of your program if you want to improve your health and lose weight, or maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Page 24
Warm-up. To prevent injury and maximize performance, we recommend that each workout period should start with a warm-up. Your warm-up should gently prepare your muscles for the coming exertion. Start by doing 5 to 10 minutes of gentle exercise that gradually increases your heart rate and loosens up your muscles. Your warm-up exercise should be aerobic in nature and only require an easy, unforced range of motion.
Progressive Cardiovascular Training Program The training program that follows is a progressive training program for cardiovascular conditioning. It can be used for any aerobic activity you choose.

Top Aerobic Exercise No one cardiovascular activity is better than another! Manipulating how hard (intensity), how often (duration), and how long (frequency) you participate in a particular aerobic activity determines its effectiveness or lack thereof. And of course, you have to like what you’re doing. Choose the type of aerobic activity that is right for you by identifying one or more types of cardio exercise that you can see yourself sticking to, and enjoying, for the rest of your life.
