Types of Exercise Plans

Cardio Training

Cardio exercise is important for overall health. This kind of training has numerous advantages including:


  • Strengthening the heart.
  • Stretching the lungs and increasing lung capacity.
  • Boosting the metabolism, burning calories, and helping you lose weight.
  • Reducing stress.
  • Increasing energy.
  • Promoting a restful sleep.
  • Burning fat and calories, making it easier to lose weight.
  • Fighting osteoporosis, managing arthritis discomfort and maintaining range of motion.

Resistance Training

Resistance training is a form of exercise that makes your muscles work against a weight or force. It is important for a ton of reasons, such as:


  • Maintaining muscle strength and endurance.
  • Improving your mental and emotional health by alleviating feelings of depression and anxiety.
  • Improving cardiovascular health by reducing resting blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
  • Burning calories and building muscle which in turn burns more calories!
  • Preventing injuries by balancing the strength of your muscles throughout your body.

Calculating Exercise Intensity

Starting a fitness program may be one of the best things you can do for your health. Physical activity can reduce your risk of chronic disease, improve your balance and coordination, help you lose weight, and even improve your sleep habits and self-esteem.


  1. Start low and progress slowly. If you're just beginning to exercise, start cautiously and progress slowly. If you have an injury or a medical condition, consult your doctor or an exercise therapist for help designing a fitness program that gradually improves your range of motion, strength, and endurance.
  2. Build activity into your daily routine. Finding time to exercise can be a challenge. To make it easier, schedule time to exercise as you would on any other appointment. Plan to watch your favorite show while walking on the treadmill, read while riding a stationary bike, or take a break to go on a walk at work.
  3. Plan to include different activities. Different activities (cross-training) can keep exercise boredom at bay. Cross-training using low-impact forms of activity, such as biking or water exercise, also reduces your chances of injuring or overusing one specific muscle or joint. Plan to alternate among activities that emphasize different parts of your body, such as walking, swimming, and strength training.
  4. Allow time for recovery. Many people start exercising with frenzied zeal - working out too long or too intensely - and give up when their muscles and joints become sore or injured. Plan time between sessions for your body to rest and recover.
  5. Listen to your body. If you feel pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or nausea, take a break. You may be pushing yourself to hard.
  6. Put it on paper. A written plan may encourage you to stay on track.
