 FITNESS MADE EASIER:
Filling Your "Exercise Prescription"
(NAPS) - Most Americans realize
they should exercise more -
what they don't know is what
kind of exercise and how much
they need.
The Doctor's Discovery
It so happens a young Air
Force physician, Dr. Kenneth
Cooper, was asking the same
questions in the early 1960's
while developing fitness training
for pilots and astronauts. He
came up with the idea of "Aerobic
Points" as a way to measure the
effectiveness of an exercise regimen.
It specifically prescribes the
number of points needed per
week to achieve a target level of
cardiovascular fitness.
Intelligent Treadmills
Fortunately for today's exercise
enthusiast, new technologies in
exercise equipment can advance
the science of exercise efficiency
and the resulting benefits.
Whether you are a beginner or
a well-conditioned athlete, it's
important to personalize your
workouts by pinpointing the right
exercise and measuring exact
results. To help, there's a line of
treadmills specifically designed to
assess your current level of fitness,
set goals, monitor and motivate
and give performance feedback-
it's almost like having your
own personal trainer.
The treadmills fully integrate
Aerobic Points research and let
users preview (prior to starting a
workout) how many points they
will earn. They can then adjust
elevation, speed or time and-
before starting-see the effect on
Aerobic Points to be earned.
These PaceMaster treadmills
use extensive additional fitness
research and measurements to
prescribe intelligent, efficient
workouts. They make it easier to
maximize an activity because they
help plan and track results. The
machines combine state-of-the-art
workout technology with superior
components and construction to
provide what many consider the
safest, most durable treadmill
available. Through commitment
and action, exercisers can not only
see results, they can also master
their fitness goals and say goodbye
to wasted miles.
