ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE BEGINNING AN EXERCISE PROGRAM. HOW OFTEN? (Frequency of Workouts) The American Heart Association recommends that you exercise at least 3 to 4 days per week to maintain fitness. If you have other goals such as weight or fat loss, you will achieve your goal faster with more frequent exercise. Whether it’s 3 days or 6 days, remember that your ultimate goal should be to make exercise a lifetime habit. Many people are successful staying with a fitness program if they set aside a specific time of day to exercise. It doesn’t matter whether it’s in the morning before breakfast, during lunch hour or while watching the evening news. What’s more important is that it’s a time that allows you to keep a schedule, and a time when you won’t be interrupted. To be successful with your fitness program, you have to make it a priority in your life. So decide on a time, pull out your day planner and pencil in your exercise times for the next month! HOW LONG? (Duration of Workouts) For aerobic exercise benefits, it’s recommended that you exercise from between 24 and 60 minutes per session. But start slowly and gradually increase your exercise times. If you’ve been sedentary during the past year, it may be a good idea to keep your exercise times to as little as 5 minutes initially. Your body will need time to adjust to the new activity. If your goal is weight loss, a longer exercise session at lower intensities has been found to be most effective. HOW HARD? (Intensity of Workouts) How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your home gym to prepare for a 5K run, you will probably work out at a higher intensity than if your goal is general fitness. Regardless of your long term goals, always begin an exercise program at low intensity. Aerobic exercise does not have to be painful to be beneficial! There are two ways to measure your exercise intensity. The first is by monitoring your heart rate (using the grip pulse handlebars or a wireless chest transmitter - may be sold separately), and the second is by evaluating your perceived exertion level (this is simpler than it sounds!). PERCEIVED EXERTION LEVEL A simple way to gauge your exercise intensity is to evaluate your perceived exertion level. While exercising, if you are too winded to maintain a conversation without gasping, you are working out too hard. A good rule of thumb is to work to the point of exhilaration, not exhaustion. If you cannot catch your breath, it’s time to slow down. Always be aware of these warning signs of overexertion. GENERAL STRENGTH TRAINING GUIDELINES • It is recommended that you perform at least 5-10 minutes of cardiovascular exercise before beginning your
strength routine in order to warm the muscles, increase the heart rate, and prepare your body for strength training.
• Always raise and lower the weight in a smooth, slow, and controlled motion. • Try not to hold your breath during strength training exercises. It is recommended that you exhale as you raise
the weight and inhale as you lower the weight.
• It is recommended that each muscle group be allowed to rest 48 hours between strength training. • Complete each strength routine with a few simple stretches to maintain flexibility, and allow your body to
cool-down after your session.
CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
What is Target Heart Rate Zone? Target Heart 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. Target Zone 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 Target Heart 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: For a 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.
ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE BEGINNING AN EXERCISE PROGRAM.

STRETCH FIRST Before using your product, it is best to take a few minutes doing 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. STANDING CALF MUSCLE STRETCH Stand near a wall with the toes of tour left foot about 18" from the wall, and the right foot about 12" behind the other foot. Lean forward, pushing against the wall 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. STANDING QUADRICEPS STRETCH 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. SITTING HAMSTRING & LOWER BACK MUSCLE STRETCH 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.
STRETCHING
TIPS
WARM UP Always perform 10-15 minutes of aerobic activity before begining your strength training session. This 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. The warm up should gradually increase your heart rate into your heart rate training zone and increase core body temperature. COOL DOWN Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period of 3-5 minutes allows your heart to readjust to the decreased demand. Your cool-down period should consist of repeating the stretching exercises listed above to loosen and relax your muscles. 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 tone and/or strength? Reduce stress? Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise program. Below are some common exercise goals: • Weight Loss - lower intensity, longer duration workouts • Improve Body Shape and Tone - interval workouts, alternate between hi and low intensities • Increased Energy Level - more frequent daily workouts • Improved Sports Performance - high intensity workouts If possible try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms, and then put your goals in writing. The more 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 weekly segments. Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation benefits. Short term goals are easier to achieve.
