FITNESS TIPS
Consult your physician
Before using this product, please consult your personal physician for a complete
physical examination. Your doctor should approve frequent and strenuous exercise. If
any discomfort should result from your use of this product, stop exercising and consult
your doctor. Proper usage of this product is essential. Please read your manual
carefully before exercising. Please keep all children away from the equipment during
use and when equipment is unattended.
Dress comfortably
Always wear appropriate clothing, including athletic shoes, when exercising. Do not
wear loose clothing that could become caught during exercise.
Check your equipment
Make sure that all bolts and nuts are tightened when equipment is in use. Periodic
maintenance is required on all exercise equipment in order to keep it in good condition.
Begin at your Fitness level
How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have
been inactive for several years, or are severely overweight, you must start slowly and
increase your time gradually, a few minutes per week.
Initially you may be able to exercise only for a few minutes in your target zone;
however, your aerobic fitness will improve over the next six to eight weeks. Do not
become discouraged if it takes longer. It is important to work at your own pace.
Ultimately you will be able to exercise continuously for 30 minutes. The better your
aerobic fitness, the harder you will have to work to stay in your target zone. But
remember these essentials.
Contact your physician before starting a workout or training program. Have him review
your training and diet programs to advise you on a workout routine you should adopt.
Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and
your physician. Supplement your program with some type of aerobic exercise such as:
Walking, Jogging, Swimming, Dancing and Bike Riding.
Monitor your pulse frequently. If you do not have an electronic heart rate monitor, have
your physician show you the proper way to manually check your pulse by using your
wrist or neck. Establish your target heart rate based on your age and condition.
Drink plenty of fluids during the course of your routine. You must replace the water
content that you have lost from excessive exercising to avoid dehydration. Fluids
should be room temperature when consumed. Avoid drinking large amounts of cold
liquids.
Check your pulse
To make sure your heart is beating in its target zone, you will need to know how to
monitor your heart rate. The easiest way is to feel the pulse in the carotid artery on
either side of your neck, between the windpipe and the large neck muscles. Count the
number of beats in ten seconds, then multiply by six. This gives you the number of
beats per minute.

Exercising in your target zone
How fast should your heart beat during
aerobic exercise? Fast enough to reach and
stay in its “target zone”, a range of beats per
minute that is largely determined by our age
and physical condition. To determine your
target zone, consult the chart we provide.
Warming cool down
A successful exercise program consists of a
warm-up, aerobic exercise, and a cool-down. Do the entire program at least two or
preferably three times a week, resting for a day between workouts. After several
months you can increase your workouts to four or five times per week. Warming up is
an important part of your workout, and should begin every session. It prepares your
body for more strenuous exercise by heating up and stretching out your muscles. At
the end of your workout, repeat these exercises to reduce sore muscle problems. We
suggest the following warm-up and cool-down exercises:
Head rolls
Rotate your head to the right for one count, feeling
the stretch up the left side of your neck. Next rotate
your head back for one count, stretching your chin
to the ceiling and letting your mouth open. Rotate
your head to the left for one count, and finally, drop
your head to your chest for one count.
Shoulder lifts
Lift your right shoulder up toward your ear for one
count. Then lift your left shoulder up for one count
as you lower your right shoulder.

Side stretches
Open your arms to the side and continue lifting them until they
are over your head. Reach your right arm as far upward
toward the ceiling as you can for one count. Feel the stretch
up your right side. Repeat this action with your left arm.
Quadriceps stretch
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach behind
you and pull your right foot up. Bring your heels as close
to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts and
repeat with left foot up.
Inner thigh stretch
Sit with the soles of your feet together with your
knees pointing outward. Pull your feet as close
into your groin as possible. Gently push your
knees toward the floor. Hold for 15 counts.
Toe touches
Slowly bend forward from your waist, letting your back and shoulders
relax as you stretch toward your toes. Reach down as far as you can
and hold for 15 counts.
Hamstring stretches
Sit with your right leg extended. Rest the sole of your left foot
against your tight inner thigh. Stretch toward your toe as far as
possible. Hold for 15 counts. Relax and then repeat with left leg
extended.

Calf/Achilles stretch
Lean against a wall with your left leg in front of
the right and your arms forward. Keep your
right leg straight and the left foot on the floor.
Then bend the left leg and lean forward by
moving your hips toward the wall. Hold, then
repeat on the other side for 15 counts.
Aerobic exercise
Aerobic exercise is any sustained activity that
sends oxygen to your muscles via your heart
and lungs—your body’s most important muscle.
Aerobic fitness is promoted by any activity that
uses your large muscles—arms, legs, or
buttocks, for example. Your heart beats quickly
and you breathe deeply. An aerobic exercise should be part of your entire exercise
routine.
Weight training
Along with aerobic exercising which helps get rid of and keep off the excess fat that our
bodies can store, training is an essential part of the exercise routine process. Weight
training helps tone, build and strengthen muscle. If you are working above your target
zone, you may want to do a less amount of reps. And as always, consult your physician
before beginning any exercise program.
