FITNESS ROUTES
San Angelo ISD
The maps shown on the following pages are suggested routes to walk or jog at or near each of the SAISD
campus locations. In addition to route detail, each school sheet also gives the approximate number of steps
for each lap of a route, estimated time (based on a person walking a 17 minute per mile pace), the
approximate number of calories burned per lap, and the number of laps needed to per week to meet the
minimum Centers for Disease Control aerobic exercise recommendations
(www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/everyone/guidelines/adults.html) Note that in addition to the aerobic
exercise, individuals should also perform additional exercises that enhance increased bone density and
muscular strength.
Individuals who are starting a new exercise program should ease into any new activity by starting at an easy
pace/distance and then building up over time. As a general rule, do not increase the volume of exercise more
than 10% per week. It is also recommended that you meet with your primary care physician prior to starting
a new exercise program to ensure that you do not have health issues that might put you in danger during
exercise.
The most common side effect of beginning a new exercise program will be sore muscles, especially in the
hips, legs, and feet. This soreness can be mitigated by wearing well cushioned shoes that fit well and provide
stability, by stretching gently after each exercise session, and by starting each workout at a gradual pace to
warm up. Stretching should be done after the muscles are warmed up, not prior to exercise when muscles
may be cold and stiff.
For many people, finding the time to exercise is a problem. You can overcome this by being creative; for
example, if your goal is to exercise for 30-40 minutes per day during the work week, you might break your
workouts into two parts by doing 15-20 minutes before school and the same at lunch or after work. Another
great system is to alternate workouts such as doing an aerobic session on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
with Tuesday and Thursday reserved for simple strength exercises. Weekends are also a great time to do
longer aerobic workouts such as a long walk or hike.
Strength workouts do not have to be done in a fitness club; in fact, there are many simple strength workouts
that can be done at home or work. The links below are for short videos that show various at-home muscle
strengthening activities.
