HOWOFTEN?(Frequencyof Workouts)
TheAmericanHeart Association recommendsthat you exerciseat least 3 to 4 flays per weekto maintain
cardiovascularfitness.If you haveothergoals such as weightorfat loss,you will achieveyourgoalfaster with
morefrequent exercise.Whetherit's 3 flays or 6 flays, rememberthat your ultimate goal should be to make
exercisea lifetime habit. Manypeoplearesuccessfulstaying with a fitnessprogramif theyset asidea specific
timeof dayto exercise.It doesn'tmatter whetherit's in the morningbeforebreakfast,during lunch hourorwhile
watchingthe eveningnews. What'smoreimportant is that it's a time that allowsyou to keepa schedule,and a
time whenyou won'tbe interrupted. Tobe successfulwithyourfitnessprogram,youhaveto makeit apriority in
your life. Sodecideona time, pull outyour dayplannerand pencil in your exercisetimes for the nextmonth!
HOWLONG?(Durationof Workouts)
Foraerobicexercisebenefits,it's recommendedthat you exercisefrom between24 and 60 minutesper session.
But start slowlyandgradually increaseyourexercisetimes. Ifyou'vebeensedentaryduring thepastyear,it may
bea goodideato keepyourexercisetimestoas little as five minutesinitially. Yourbodywill needtime to adjust
to thenewactivity. If yourgoal is weight loss,a longer exercisesessionat lower intensities has been foundto
bemost effective.A workouttime of 48 minutes ormoreis recommendedfor best weightlossresults.
HOWHARD?(Intensityof Workouts)
Howhard you workoutis also determinedby your goals. If you useyour treadmill to prepare for a 5t( run,
you will probably work out at a higher intensity than if your goal is general fitness. Regardlessof your long
termgoals, always begin an exerciseprogram at low intensity. Aerobicexercisefloesnot have to be painful
to be beneficial! Thereare two ways to measureyour exerciseintensity. The first is by monitoring your
heart rate using the grip pulse handlebars and the secondis by evaluating your perceivedexertionlevel
(this is simpler thanit sounds!)
PERCEIVEDEXERTIONLEVEL
A simple waytogaugeyourexerciseintensity is to evaluateyourperceivedexertionlevel. Whileexercising,ifyou
aretoowindedto maintain a conversationwithoutgasping,you are workingout toohard. Agoodrule of thumb
is to workto the point of exhilaration,not exhaustion.If you cannotcatchyour breath, it's time to slow down.
Alwaysbe awareof these warningsignsof overexertion.

Whatis TarEetNeartRateZone?
TargetHeart Rate Zone tells you
the number of times per minute
your heart needs to beat to
achieve a desired workout effect.
It is represented as a percentage
of the maximum number of times
your heart can beat per minute.
TargetZone will vary for each
individual, depending on age,
current level of conditioning,
and personal fitness goals. The
American Heart Association
recommends working-out at a
TargetHeart Rate Zone of between
60% and 75% of your maximum
heart rate. A beginner will want to
workout in the 60% range while
a more experienced exerciser will
want to workout in the 70-75%
range. See chart for reference.
EXAMPLE:
Fora 42-year-old user: Find age along the bottom of the chart (round to 40), follow age column up to
the target zone bar. Results: 60% of maximum Heart Rate =108 Beats Per Minute, 75% of maximum
Heart Rate =135 Beat Per Minute.

STRETCHFIRST
Before using your product, it is best to take a few minutes to do a few gentle stretching exercises. Stretching
prior to exercise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise related injury. Ease into each of these
stretches with a slow gentle motion. Do not stretch to the point of pain. Make sure not to bounce while doing
these stretches.
1.STANDINGCALFMUSCLESTRETCH
Stand near a wall with the toes ofyour left foot about 18" from the wall, and
the right foot about 12" behind the other foot. Lean forward, pushing against
the waft with your palms. Keep your heels flat and hold this position for a
count of 15 seconds. Make sure that you do not bounce while stretching.
Repeat on the other side.
2. STANDINGQUADRICEPSTRETCH
Using a wall to provide balance, grasp your left ankle
with your left hand and hold your foot against the back
of your thigh for 15 seconds. Repeat with your right
ankle and hand.

3.SITTINGHAMSTRING&LOWERBACKMUSCLESTRETCH
Sit on the floor with your legs together and straight out in front of you. Do
not lock your knees. Extend your fingers towards your toes and hold for a
count of 15 seconds. Make sure that you do not bounce while stretching. Sit
upright again. Repeat one time.

WARMUP
The first 2 to 5 minutes of a workout should be devoted to warming up, The warm-up will limber your
muscles and prepare them for more strenuous exercise, Make sure that you warm-up on your product at a
slow pace, Thewarm up should gradually bfing your heart rate into your TargetHeart Rate Zone,
COOLDOWN
Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period of 3-5 minutes allows your heart to readjust to the
decreased demand, Make sure that your cool down period consists of a very slow pace to allow your heart
rate to lower, After the cool-down, repeat the stretching exercises listed above to loosen and relax your
muscles,
,4CHIEVIEGYOURF!TNESSG0,4LS
An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals, Is your primary
goal for exercising to lose weight? Improve muscle? Reduce stress? Prepare for the spring racing schedule?
Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise program, Below are some
common exercisegoals:
•Weight Loss -lower intensity, longer duration workouts
•Improve Body Shape and Tone-interval workouts, alternate between high and low intensities
•Increased Energy Level -more frequent daily workouts
•Improved Sports Performance -high intensity workouts
•Improved Cardiovascular Endurance -moderate intensity, longer duration workouts
If possible try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms, and then put your goals in writing,
Themore specific you can be, the easier it will be to track your progress, If your goals are long term, divide
them up into monthly and weeklysegments. Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation
benefits, Short term goals are easier to achieve, Yourconsole provides you with several readouts that can
be used to record your progress, Youcan track Distance, Calories or Time,
KEEPINGlie EXERCISEDIARY

on the following pages, oryou can print them off of your computer bygoing to:
