Important Safety Instructions

Successful cardio training programs have one prominent feature in common...safety.
Cardio training has some inherent dangers, as do all physical activities.
The chance of injury can be greatly reduced or completely removed by using correct
running techniques, proper breathing, maintaining equipment in good working
condition, and by wearing the appropriate clothing.

It is highly recommended that you consult your physician before beginning
any exercise program. This is especially important for individuals over the
age of 35, or persons with pre-existing health problems.
 Always warm up before starting a workout. Try to do a total body warm up
before you start. It is especially important to warm up the specic muscle
groups you are going to be using. This can be as simple as performing a
warm up set of high repetitions and light weight for each exercise.
 Always wear appropriate clothing and shoes when exercising.
Wearing comfortable athletic shoes with good support and loose tting,
breathable clothing will reduce the risk of injury.
 Maintaining equipment in proper operating condition is of utmost
importance for a safe cardio training program.
 Read and study all warning labels on this machine. It is absolutely
necessary that you familiarize yourself and all others with the proper
operation of this machine prior to use.
 Keep hands, limbs, loose clothing and long hair well out of the way of all
moving parts.
 Inspect the machine daily for loose or worn parts. If a problem is found do
not allow the machine to be used until all parts are tightened or worn or
defective parts are repaired or replaced.
