During the initial phase of an exercise program, a beginner should:

• Keep intensity high, exercise at the high end of the target heart rate range

• Perform short but intense bouts of activity

• Exercise 5-7 days per week

Cardiorespiratory endurance is developed best by activities that:

• Involve continuous rhythmic movements of large muscle groups.

• Alternate between brief periods of maximal exertion and rest.

• Gently extend joints beyond their normal range of motion.

• Involve working with weights or resistance.
