Important Safety Information
1. Fitness training can result in serious
or fatal injury. Risk of injury can
be lessened when safe technique
and common sense are practiced.
Before starting this or any other
exercise program, consult your
physician. Your physician should
assist you in determining the target
heart rate zone appropriate for your
age and physical condition. Certain
exercise programs or types of
equipment may not be appropriate
for all people. This is especially
important for people over the age
of 35, pregnant women, or those
with pre-existing health problems
or balance impairments. If you are
taking medication which may affect
your heart rate, a physician’s advice
is absolutely essential.
2. Start out slowly and progress
sensibly. Even if you are an
experienced exerciser, start with
the beginner workout and become
familiar with all of the exercises
before moving on to more advanced
workouts or exercises.
3. Do not overexert yourself with this
or any other exercise program.
Listen to your body and respond to
any reactions you may be having.
You must learn to distinguish “good”
pain, like fatigue, from “bad” pain,
which hurts. If you experience any
pain or tightness in your chest,
an irregular heartbeat, dizziness,
nausea, or shortness of breath, stop
exercising at once and consult your
physician immediately.
4. Warm up before any exercise
program by doing 5 to 10 minutes
of gentle aerobic exercise, such as
walking, followed by stretching.
5. Before EACH use, visually inspect
the equipment. Never use this
equipment if it is not working
properly or if there are damaged
or worn parts. Call our Parts
Department to order replacement
parts. Refer to page 5.
6. Use this equipment ONLY for the
intended use as described by the
manufacturer. DO NOT modify the
equipment or use at tachments not
recommended by the manufacturer.
7. Have plenty of clearance space on
all sides of your equipment. It is
important to keep children, pets,
furniture and other objects out of the
way when using your equipment. You
should have a minimum of 3 feet of
clearance space on all sides of your
equipment.
8. Wear appropriate clothing when
exercising. Workout clothing should
be comfortable and lightweight, and
should allow freedom of movement.
Wear comfortable athletic shoes
made of good support with non-slip
soles, such as running or aerobic
shoes.
9. THIS EQUIPMENT IS NOT FOR USE
BY CHILDREN. To prevent injuries,
keep this and all fitness equipment
out of the reach of children. Follow
these simple rules:
– Keep children out of rooms
where you have your exercise
equipment.
– Store exercise equipment in a
room that can be locked.
– Know exactly where your
children are when you work out.
