at rest.
How To Get In The Fat-Burning Zone
To optimize the fat-burning potential of your
workout, you need to maintain a steady pace on
your Power Strider for 10 minutes straight, twice
a day. Just choose any Power Strider routine
and work at a rate that is challenging, but within
your comfort zone. In other words, work as
hard as you can without overdoing it.
You can adjust your workout simply by
slowing down or speeding up. You can
also adjust the tension knob on your
Power Strider to increase the tension if
you want a tougher workout or decrease
the tension if you feel too tired. But always
be sure to challenge yourself. Don't stop
until 10 minutes have passed.
Adjust your
workout!
Note: If you feel short of breath or dizzy,
discontinue exercising. Always consult with
your physician before undertaking any weight
loss or exercise program.

Your Power Strider routines also help you firm and tone trouble areas - like the buns, thighs
and hips. But the benefits of building these muscles goes well beyond looks to the core of
boosting your metabolism.

sedentary activities. Second and more importantly, muscle tissue itself requires more energy

up calories. So you see, adding a little lean muscle tissue not only firms you up, it also helps
you burn fat.
If you want to firm, tone and burn more calories, just follow your Power Strider routines with
Kita's step by step instructions on your DVD twice a day. It's a fun and effective way to burn
fat fast!
