Personal preference and type of activity determine the length of the warm up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The work out:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Depending on the fitness level of the individual, workouts may vary. For example, a beginner will focus on a workout that will start off at a fairly light level of exertion. Through progression, the beginner will eventually work towards a pace that generates a moderate level of exertion. These workouts can be completed 3 times a week for 15-25 minutes.<br \/>\n&#8211; <em>Example Exercises:<\/em><em><\/em> 15-25 minutes on the treadmill at 3.0 miles per hour (MPH). Eventually increase MPH as experience is increased.<\/li>\n<li>For an intermediate fitness level, during the initial weeks of exercise they will focus on a workout that feels somewhat hard. For example, jogging on the treadmill at a light pace for 20-25 minutes, 3-4 days per week. As the intermediate fitness level progresses, the exertion level, days of exercise per week and overall exercise times can increase. Increases should not be extreme! For example, if an intermediate athlete was jogging for 25 minutes, 3 days a week, when they progress they can jog for 30 minutes, 4 days a week.<br \/>\n&#8211;<em>Example Exercises: <\/em>20-25 minutes on the treadmill at 3.5-4.0 MPH.<br \/>\nEventually increase MPH as experience increases.<\/li>\n<li>Established fitness level individuals will focus on a workout that feels hard for 30-40 minutes, 3-5 days per week.<br \/>\n&#8211;<em>Example Exercises:<\/em> 30-40 minutes on the treadmill at 4.5-5.0 MPH.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Cool Down:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This component of a cardiovascular training program is initiated to bring the heart rate back down to near-resting levels.
