is quite useful in determining your comfort zone of aerobic intensity, especially if you are just beginning an exercise program. If you are able to talk during your workout without a great deal of strain, you’re most likely in your appropriate heart rate zone. Work at an intensity that allows you to breathe comfortably and rhythmically throughout all phases of your workout. This will ensure a safe and comfortable level of exercise.
The Talk-Test Method
Every workout routine needs to be expressly planned for your fitness status, goals, skills, and desires. A qualified trainer may help combine all these parts into a structured program that can be followed and modified as necessary.
EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION
Your doctor will administer a general physical examination. You will be asked to complete a questionnaire to decide whether you have any health conditions that may hinder your ability to exercise or make improvements to the schedule. Most personal trainers need approval from a specialist before developing the program.
