To use this tape you will need about a six foot square of space. That is about the size of a king size bed. Having a full length mirror can be a real plus to help you maintain good form. Searing light clothing and a sturdy pair of athletic shoes. In any exercise program it is important to start out easy and know how to safely increase your work out level. From beginner to intermediate to advanced.
Low impact aerobics is no exemption. In fact by using a few simple techniques low impact aerobics can provide you with a wide range of exercise levels. When starting out the beginner may want to use the leg movements only. Keeping your hands on your hips the entire work out. Start off by using one exercise segment and work your way up to two and then three segments. Before long, you will be ready to add the basic upper body movements. This greatly increases the exercise value of low impact aerobics.
The intermediate exercise are want to start with at least two exercise segments and work out to four segments per work out. To increase your exercise intensity add dynamic tension. This involves flexing the muscles through the movement and increasing the work to the muscles. This will further boost your pulse rate the real test of aerobic exercise effectiveness. Add dynamic tension at the upper body at first and then you can use it in the muscles of the legs and the buttocks. Advance exercises will also want to try the fifth power on segment of this tape, which increases the work out time to 50 minutes.
This segment may be performed using only low impact techniques if desired. Finally you can add this weights weighing one half to one pound to further advance the exercise level of your work out. But additional weight should be added slowly and only use by the veteran exercisers. Using too much weight too soon can result to painful injuries to the muscles and joints. You may find that weights are unnecessary once dynamic tension is perfected. It usually takes several months of regular work outs, three to four times a week to advance to one level to the next.
Take it easy, do not over do it, put safety first and keep checking those pulse rates. To round out your exercise programs use this aerobic tape with exercises that tone, strengthen and stretch the muscles. Take care of you body and it will take care of you.
