Part VI:

Exercise guidelines

Chapter 23: General exercise principles

Chapter 24: Aerobic exercise

Chapter 25: Interval training

Chapter 26: Weight training

Having discussed the underlying physiology behind aerobic, interval, and weight training
exercise, we can now develop some general guidelines for each type of exercise. Chapter 23
discusses several general principles such as progressive overload and the FITT equation.
Chapters 24 through 26 give general guidelines for implementing the different types of exercise,
depending on goals. These general guidelines are applied in part 7, which provides sample exercise
programs.
