FITNESS TIPS & TECHNIQUES
AEROBIC EXERCISE
Aerobic exercise is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your muscles via your heart and lungs.
Aerobic exercise improves the tness of your lungs and heart − your body’s most important muscle. Aerobic
exercise tness is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscles (arms, legs, or buttocks, for
example). Your heart beats quickly and you breathe deeply. An aerobic exercise should form part of your
entire exercise routine.
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 the exercise routine process. Weight training helps tone, build and
strengthen muscle. If you are working above your target zone, you may want to do a lesser amount of reps.
Always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
MUSCLE CHART
The exercise routine that is performed on the Trojan Orbit 250 Elliptical will develop the lower body muscle
group as well as condition the circulatory system and provide a good aerobic workout. These muscle groups
are highlighted on the muscle chart below.
Trapezius
Posterior
Tricep
Latissimus Dorsi
Gluteals
Hamstrings
Gastrocnemius
Trapezius
Anterior
Pectoralis Major
Serratus Anterior
Biceps
Abdominal
Sartorius
Quadriceps
Tibialis

17
EXERCISE INTENSITY
To maximise the benets of exercising, it is important to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper 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 nd your target zone in the table below.
During the rst 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 2 ngers
on your wrist. Take a 6 second heartbeat count and multiply the results by 10 to nd your heart rate. For
example, if your 6 second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. (A 6 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 proper level.
CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for
several years, or are severely overweight, you must start slowly and increase your time on the equipment, a
few minutes per workout.
Initially, you may be able to exercise only for a few minutes in your target zone, however, your aerobic
tness will improve over the next 6 to 8 weeks. Don’t be discouraged if it takes longer. It’s important
to work at your own pace. Ultimately, you’ll be able to exercise continuously for 30 minutes. The better your
aerobic tness, the harder you will have to work to stay in your target zone. 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 that have been set by you and your doctor.
• Monitor your pulse frequently.
• Establish your target heart rate based on your age and condition.

WARM UP & COOL DOWN
1
2

5
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following 3 parts:
1. A WARM-UP: 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: 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your
training zone. (Note: During the rst few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart
rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes).
3. COOL-DOWN: 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This will increase the exibility of your muscles
and will help to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan 3 workouts each week, with at least 1 day
of rest between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to 5
workouts each week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and
enjoyable part of your everyday life.
SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches are shown on the right.
Move slowly as you stretch, hold the position and never bounce.
1. 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
toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, and then relax.
Repeat 3 times.
Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and back.
2. HAMSTRING STRETCH
Sit with 1 leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward
you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach
toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, and then relax.
Repeat 3 times for each leg.
Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and groin.
3. CALF/ACHILLES STRETCH
With 1 leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands
against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot at on
the oor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your hips toward
the wall. Hold for 15 counts, and then relax. Repeat 3 times for each
leg. To cause further stretching of the Achilles tendons, bend your
back leg as well.
Stretches: Calves, Achilles tendons and ankles.
4. QUADRICEPS STRETCH
With 1 hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp 1
foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks
as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg.
Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
5. INNER THIGH STRETCH
Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. Pull
your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,
