Tailor your exercise program according to your physical condition. If you have been inactive for several
years, or are overweight, you must start slowly and increase your time on the equipment; a few minutes per
workout increase is advisable.
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. Don’t be discouraged if it takes longer. It’s important to work at
your own pace.
Please remember these essentials:
• Have your doctor review your training and diet programs to advise you of a workout routine you should adopt.
• Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals.
• Monitor your pulse frequently. Establish your target heart rate based on your age and condition.
• Set up your equipment on a flat even surface with adequate training area, as prescribed in this manual.
Exercise intensity
To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important to exercise at an appropriate intensity. The intensity level
can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be
maintained at a level between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise. This is known as
your target zone. You can find your target zone in the table below.

160
140
120
100

25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 70
Age
During the first few months of your exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low end of your target zone
as you exercise. After a few months, your heart rate can be increased gradually until it is near the middle of your
target zone as you exercise.
To measure your heart rate, stop exercising but continue moving your legs or
walking around and place two fingers on your wrist. Take a six-second heartbeat
count and multiply the results by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your
six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute.
(A six-second count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you
stop exercising.) Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is at the
required level.

Aerobic Exercise
Aerobic exercise improves the fitness of your lungs and heart - your body’s most important muscle. Aerobic
exercise is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscles (arms, legs, or buttock, for example).
Weight Training
Along with aerobic exercising which helps get rid of and keep off the excess fat that our bodies can store,
weight training is an essential part of an exercise routine. Weight training helps tone, build and strengthen
muscle. If you are working above your target zone, you may want to do a lower number of reps.
Targeted Muscle Groups
The exercise routine that is performed on the cross trainer will develop the upper and lower body muscle
groups. These muscle groups are highlighted on the muscle chart below.
A: Trapezius
B: Anterior Deltoid
C: Pectoralis Major
D: Serratus Anterior
E: Biceps
F: Abdominal
G: Sartorius
H: Quadriceps
I: Tibialis Anterior
J: Trapezius
K: Posterior Deltoid
L: Triceps
M: Latissimus Dorsi
N: Gluteals
O: Hamstrings
P: Gastrocnemiu

Each workout should include the following three parts:
1. A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up
increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
2. Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. (Note: During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training
zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
3. A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help
to reduce post-exercise muscle soreness.
Exercise Frequency
To maintain or improve your fitness, plan three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.
Suggested Stretches
For a correct warm up, see the following basic stretching exercises. Move slowly as you stretch, never
bounce.
Toe touch stretch
Stand with your knees bent slightly and
slowly bend forward from your hips.
Allow your back and shoulders to relax
as you reach down towards your toes as
far as possible.
