STOP & GO WORKOUT 30 MINUTES THIS HIGH INTENSITY CALORIE BURNING WORKOUT WILL INCREASE MUSCLE STRENGTH AND TONE LEADING TO STRONGER MORE POWERFUL SKATING.
ROLLERBLADE STOP & GO WORKOUT 30 MINUTES SKILLS NEEDED BASIC SKATING POSITION, FORWARD STRIDE, HEEL BRAKE OR T-STOP, FORWARD TURN. GET READY TO TURN UP THE INTENSITY THE STOP & GO WORKOUT IS A FAST PACED SERIES OF ON AND OFF SKATE EXERCISES AIMED AT INCREASING MUSCLE STRENGTH, TONE AND EXPLOSIVE POWER GIVING YOU A FULL BODY SKATE WORKOUT AND A BLAST TO YOUR METABOLISM. SKATE SMART KNOW YOUR SKILL LEVEL AND SKATING CONDITIONS. YOU ARE ALWAYS SAFER WEARING A HELMET AND FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR.
WHAT YOU NEED TO GET STARTED SKATES & GEAR SKATES, HELMET, PROTECTIVE GEAR, HEART RATE MONITOR OR OTHER FITNESS MEASURING DEVICE (OPTIONAL) LOCATION SMOOTH PAVEMENT WITH MODERATE INCLINES AND DECLINES WITH LITTLE OR NO TRAFFIC.
BASICS MEASURING MAXIMAL HEART RATE (MHR) 220 AGE=MHR TARGET HEART RATE THR TYPICALLY BETWEEN 50-85% OF MHR GUIDELINES TO MEASURING EXERCISE INTENSITY BEGINNER OR LOW FITNESS LEVEL 50-60% OF MHR INTERMEDIATE OR AVERAGE FITNESS LEVEL 60-70% MHR ADVANCED OR HIGH FITNESS LEVEL 70-85% MHR EXAMPLE: HEALTHY 30 YEAR OLD WITH AVERAGE FITNESS LEVEL DETERMINE MAXIMAL HEART RATE-220-30=190 DETERMINE TARGET HEART RATE FOR AVERAGE FITNESS LEVEL 60-70% 190 X.60=114 BEATS PER MINUTE (BPM) 190 X.70=133 BPM TARGET HEART RATE RANGE FOR EXERCISE 114 BPM-133BPM
RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION (RPE) THE RPE SCALE IS USED TO MEASURE THE INTENSITY OF YOUR EXERCISE. THE RPE SCALE RUNS FROM 0 10. THE NUMBERS BELOW RELATE TO PHRASES USED TO RATE HOW EASY OR DIFFICULT YOU FIND AN ACTIVITY. FOR EXAMPLE, 0 (NOTHING AT ALL) WOULD BE HOW YOU FEEL WHEN SITTING IN A CHAIR; 10 (VERY, VERY HEAVY) IS HOW YOU FEEL AT THE END OF AN EXERCISE STRESS TEST OR AFTER A VERY DIFFICULT ACTIVITY. 0 NOTHING AT ALL 0,5 JUST NOTICEABLE 1 VERY LIGHT 2 LIGHT 3 MODERATE 4 SOMEWHAT HEAVY 5 HEAVY 6 7 VERY HEAVY 8 9 10 VERY, VERY HEAVY
