Usana's Vision - True Health

By Andy G Smith


In an earlier article I explained the benefits of exercising at an intensity of 7 out of 10, or 70% of your maximum heart rate. The scale from 1 to 10 is called your 'rate of perceived exertion' and I will refer to it as RPE as I explain how to improve your current cardiovascular fitness.

This vision statement indicates Usana's long-term commitment and responsibility to their customers, distributors and individuals all over the world who are associated with Usana. Usana are truly passionate about supplying supplements that can have a positive impact on people's health all around the world.

I want you to visualise this is a ladder and your goal is to get to the top. Each time you slip (perhaps you miss your training for a couple of weeks), just get back on the ladder and keep climbing! Remember in my last article I said that you should be in this for the long haul? Well, missing a few training session does not mean you failed, it just means you lost your footing! You know that you can do this if you put your mind to it!

Aim to complete 3 sessions of up to 30 minutes duration each and every week starting from today! Make a note at the end of each day highlighting how you felt once you completed the exercise.

However, if you cannot maintain a minimum of 20 minutes at higher intensity then you should reduce your intensity to achieve the full amount of time. In my opinion this is the only time you should exercise at a lower intensity (other than warm ups and cool downs). Working at 6 out of 10 will NOT encourage your body to adapt and become a fat burning machine!

We are all responsible for making the dream of 'true health' a reality around the world!
