Aerobic Activity

The beauty of Gene Smart is that it’s tailored for you, and it’s designed to be the kind of program that you can integrate fully and successfully into your life—not something you have to quit your job to do.

Below you will find some acceptable forms of both moderate and vigorous exercise, along with the number of calories you can expect to burn doing them, depending on how much you weigh.

In general, moderate exercise in the chart means working at between 60 and 75 percent of your maximum heart rate and vigorous means working between 75 to 85 percent.

You’ll notice that the calorie values are for 30 minutes, as the program does not recommend that you do any of these activities (aside from the circuit routines) for more than a half-hour at a shot. Why? The latest data reveal that it is not the amount of time you exercise that is critical, but the level of intensity at which you work.
