IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
1) 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 med i ca tion which may affect your heart rate, a physician's advice is ab so lute ly 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. For best results, perform all of the exercises at the tempo demonstrated in the video.
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 aerobic activity, followed by stretching.
5) Before EACH use, visually inspect the equipment. Never operate the equipment if the equipment is not functioning properly.
6) USE CARE when getting on and off the equipment.
Set up and use your equipment on a solid, level, surface. Follow the instructions demonstrated in your video and as instructed with the exercises on pages 44 through 82 for proper exercise techniques.
7) Use this equipment ONLY for the intended use
as described in this manual. Do not modify the equipment or use at tachments not rec om mend ed by the manufacturer.
8) 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.
9) 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.
10) THIS EQUIPMENT IS NOT FOR USE BY CHILDREN. Parents and others in charge of children should be aware of their responsibility because the natural play instinct and the fondness of experimenting of children can lead to situations and behavior for which the training equipment is not intended. 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.
– If you have small children at home, don’t wear
headphones while you work out.
– Talk to your kids about the dangers of exercise
equipment.
11) Breathe naturally, never holding your breath during an exercise. Avoid over training. You should be able to carry on a conversation while exercising.
12) Cool down after an exercise session, with 5 to 10 minutes of slow walking, followed by stretching.
13) Handicapped or disabled people must have medical approval before using this equipment and
should be under close su per vi sion when using any exercise equipment.
14) Only one person at a time should use this equipment.
15) DO NOT put hands, feet, or any foreign objects on or near this equipment when in use by others.
Use caution not to pinch fingers or hands in moving parts when setting up or using the equipment.

*RPE = rating of perceived exertion; this means you match up a numerical rating (RPE) of 1- 10, with how you feel (RPE descriptive rating in chart above). A rating of 2 -3 is equal to a warm-up or recovery level of effort; 4-5 equates to moderate to somewhat challenging; 6 -10 represents effort that is somewhat hard, to very hard.
Smart Progression
In regard to progressing to a higher intensity level, longer duration, or more frequent sessions, it makes good sense to change only one of these elements at a time. You run a higher risk of overuse injury if you simultaneously increase more than one of these elements. A conservative yet effective guideline is to increase intensity or duration by no more than about 5 percent. You should adapt to this increase over a period of a week or two, and then consider changing one of the other variables (frequency, duration or intensity) or further progressing the one you’ve adapted to.
Top Aerobic Exercise
No one cardiovascular activity is better than another! Manipulating how hard (intensity), how often (duration), and how long (frequency) you participate in a particular aerobic activity determines its effectiveness or lack thereof. And of course, you have to like what you’re doing. Choose the type of aerobic activity that is right for you by identifying one or more types of cardio exercise that you can see yourself sticking to, and enjoying, for the rest of your life. Often, the best aerobic exercise will be not one, but several activities that are fun and feel good to your body. Excellent cardiovascular activities include, but are not limited to, walking, swimming, water fitness, jogging, running, cross-country skiing, in-line skating, lateral movement training (slide), cycling, mountain biking, and step training.

PROGRESSIVE CARDIOVASCULAR TRAINING PROGRAM
How hard. Aerobic intensity guidelines for healthy adults are generally set at 60 to 85 percent of heart rate. But, if you’re out of shape, remember that moderate to low level and consistent cardiovascular training – well below the standard recommendations set forth – can result in substantial and beneficial effects to your health and can greatly improve cardiovascular endurance.
You can use the following calculation to determine what percentage of your heart rate you are working at:
% heart rate = (220 - age) x %.
Using this calculation, a 70% heart rate for a 40 year old would be (220 - 40) x 70% or 126. Thus, this individual would need to reach 126 beats per minute to equal a 70% heart rate.
The above are guidelines, people with any medical limitations should discuss this formula with their physician.
How Often, How Long, and How Hard
The choices you make about the frequency (how often), duration (how long), and intensity (how hard) at which you will train, will directly influence your training results.
How often. If you want to see serious improvements in your fitness, lose weight and develop a good training base, you need to do cardio workouts three to six times per week.
If you are just starting a program or out of shape, don’t let these recommendations discourage or mislead you. Realize that doing cardio training two to three times per week will still result in significant fitness improvement and health benefits. Your long-term goal is to build up to exercising your heart on most days of the week.
How long. How long you work out depends on your current level of fitness. Again, if you’re just starting a program or out of shape, don’t follow strict textbook recommendations. Instead, start with 5 to 10 minutes once or twice per day. You will see significant fitness improvement. Your long-term goal is to build to a duration of 30 to 60 minutes of cardiovascular activity on most days of the week.

CARDIOVASCULAR CONDITIONING
Exercise that challenges the heart is a simple part of an exercise program – almost anyone can walk, run, tread­mill, climb steps, or bike. But, creating a progressive, time efficient and results oriented cardio program takes a little planning. A properly designed and consistently performed cardiovascular training program is an essen­tial part of your program if you want to improve your health and lose weight, or maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Training Aerobically
Aerobic exercise is the key to building a stronger heart and can reduce your chances of heart disease, as well as burn lots of fat and calories. Aerobic exercise is any activity that you can keep at for several minutes or longer and increases your heart rate. Activities that have the potential to condition the heart typically involve the large muscles of the hips, thighs, and buttocks. Examples include walking, hiking, jogging, running, cycling, in-line skating, swimming, cross-country skiing, and stair stepping.
Benefits of Aerobic Training
Health benefits of aerobic exercise include the following:
1. A stronger and healthier heart.
2. Increased HDL. This “good” cholesterol helps keep
your arteries unplugged and healthy.
3. Decreased total cholesterol. This is the debris in
your blood that can clog your arteries.
4. Reduced blood pressure. Even moderate
exercise can help.
5. Reduced risk for heart attack and stroke.
6. Decreased body fat and an ability to help you
reach your desirable weight. You’ll become a better fat-burner and burn a lot of calories every session.
7. Decreased risk for diabetes.
8. Reduced feelings of anxiety, tension, and
depression.
9. Improved sleep.
10. Higher levels of energy. Efficient delivery and
use of blood and oxygen is the key to increased vigor and performance.
Warming Up And Cooling Down
Warming up and cooling down are essential to a balanced and safe exercise program. A proper warm-up and cool down can:
• Make your workouts safe and easier to do,
• Limit the risk of unnecessary stress on your heart,
• Get you ready for your activity,
• Improve your stamina and endurance (you won’t tire as quickly),
• Decrease your risk for injury,
• Increase enjoyment of your workouts, and
• Help you stick with your health and fitness program.
Warm-Up
To prevent injury and maximize performance, we recommend that each workout period should start with a warm-up. Your warm-up should gently prepare your muscles for the coming exertion. Start by doing 5 to 10 minutes of gentle exercise that gradually increases your heart rate and loosens up your muscles. Your warm-up exercise should be aerobic in nature and only require an easy, unforged range of motion. This should be followed by 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Refer to the stretches found on pages 40 and 41 of this manual. Never push yourself beyond a point of gentle tension or strain. Keep your movements gentle, rhythmic and controlled.
Cool Down and Stretching
Your workout should be followed by a cool down. The cool down should consist of 5 to 10 minutes of slow walking followed by stretching. Refer to the stretches found on pages 40 and 41 of this manual. Never push yourself beyond a point of gentle tension or strain. Keep your movements gentle, rhythmic and controlled.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
IMPORTANT:
If you are over 35 and have been inactive for several years, you should consult your physician, who may or may not recommend a graded exercise test. Your physician can also assist you in determining the Target Heart Rate Zone appropriate for your age and physical condition.
You should also consult your physician if you have the following:
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Asthma
• Heart trouble
• Family history of early stroke or heart attack deaths
• Frequent dizzy spells
• Extreme breathlessness after mild exertion
• Arthritis or other bone problems
• Severe muscular, ligament or tendon problems
• Other known or suspected disease
• If you experience any pain or tightness in your chest, an irregular heartbeat or shortness of breath, stop exercising immediately. Consult your physician before continuing.
• Pregnant
• Balance impairment
• Taking medications that affect heart rate
IMPORTANT
Please review this section before you begin exercising.
Workout Phases
Regardless of whether you are working out with your Bio Force®Sport exerciser or doing a cardio workout, your workout should consist of the following three phases.
Warm-Up
To prevent injury and maximize performance, we recommend that each workout period should start with a warm-up. Your warm-up should gently prepare your muscles for the coming exertion. Start by doing 5 to 10 minutes of gentle exercise (such as walking) that gradually increases your heart rate and loosens up your muscles. Your warm-up exercise should be aerobic in nature and only require an easy, unforced range of motion. This should be followed by 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Refer to the stretches found on pages 40 and 41 of this manual. Never push yourself beyond a point of gentle tension or strain. Keep your movements gentle, rhythmic and controlled.
Muscle Toning or Cardio Workout
Your warm-up should be followed by either a workout with the Bio Force
®
Sport exerciser or a cardio workout, depending on which workout you are doing. Regardless of which workout you are doing, build up as your current fitness level allows and progress at a rate that is comfortable to you.
For the first week or so, you may feel some muscle soreness. This is quite normal and will disappear in a matter of days. If you experience major discomfort, you may be on a regimen that is too advanced for you or you may have increased your program too rapidly.
Cool Down and Stretching
Your workout should be followed by a cool down. The cool down should consist of 5 to 10 minutes of gentle exercise, followed by stretching. Refer to the stretches found on pages 40 and 41 of this manual. Never push yourself beyond a point of gentle tension or strain. Keep your movements gentle, rhythmic and controlled.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
When to Exercise
The hour just before the evening meal is a popular time for exercise. The late afternoon workout provides a welcome change of pace at the end of the work day and helps dissolve the day's worries and tensions.
Another popular time to work out is early morning, before the work day begins. Advocates of the early start say it makes them more alert and energetic on the job.
Among the factors you should consider in developing your workout schedule are personal preference, job and family responsibilities, availability of exercise facilities and weather. It's important to schedule your workouts for a time when there is little chance that you will have to cancel or interrupt them because of other demands on your time.
You should not exercise strenuously during extremely hot, humid weather or within two hours after eating. Heat and/or digestion both make heavy demands on the circulatory system, and in combination with exercise can be an over-taxing double load.
Measuring Your Heart Rate
When checking Heart Rate during a workout, take your pulse within five seconds after interrupting exercise because it starts to go down once you stop moving. Count pulse for 10 seconds and multiply by six to get the per-minute rate.
Target Heart Rate
Aerobic intensity guidelines for healthy adults are generally set at 60 to 85 percent of heart rate. But, if you’re out of shape, remember that moderate to low level and consistent cardiovascular training – well below the standard recommendations set forth – can result in substantial and beneficial effects to your health and can greatly improve cardiovascular endurance.
You can use the following calculation to determine what percentage of your heart rate you are working at:
% heart rate = (220 - age) x %.
Using this calculation, a 70% heart rate for a 40 year old would be (220 - 40) x 70% or 126. Thus, this individual would need to reach 126 beats per minute to equal a 70% heart rate.
The above recommendations are guidelines. People with any medical limitations should discuss this formula with their physician.
Clothing
All exercise clothing should be loose-fitting to permit freedom of movement, and should make the wearer feel comfortable and self-assured.
Never wear rubberized or plastic clothing, garments like this can interfere with the evaporation of perspiration and can cause body temperature to rise to dangerous levels.
Wear comfortable, supportive athletic shoes with non-slip soles, such as running or aerobic shoes.
Tips to Keep You Going
1. Adopt a specific plan and write it down.
2. Keep setting realistic goals as you go
along, and remind yourself of them often.
3. Keep a log to record your progress and
make sure to keep it up-to-date. See charts in this booklet.
4. Include weight and/or percent body fat
measures in your log. Extra pounds can easily creep back.
5. Enlist the support and company of your
family and friends.
6. Update others on your successes.
7. Avoid injuries by pacing yourself and
including a warm up and cool down period as part of every workout.
8. Reward yourself periodically for a job
well done!

BIO FORCE®SPORT SYSTEM
The Bio Force® Sport exerciser is more than just a strength training machine; it is a total body exercise and nutrition system. It is a “fitness for life” plan that goes hand in hand with an overall healthy lifestyle. This includes regular check-ups, healthy eating habits and exercise for the rest of your life.
Today, all fitness research recommends both cardiovascular exercise and strength conditioning to achieve balanced fitness. By improving your cardiovascular fitness you will strengthen your heart and lungs, increase your stamina and endurance, and help with weight loss. Strength conditioning adds lean muscle to your body, which increases your body’s metabolism. And we all know that a healthy eating plan is an important part of any balanced fitness program.
The Bio Force
® Sport System is designed to help
you achieve a balanced fitness program. The system consists of three parts:
1. Strength Conditioning. The Bio Force
® Sport
exerciser was designed to help you strengthen your upper and lower body. We recommend that you work out for at least 30 minutes, 3 times a week. However, the frequency and duration of your workouts will depend on your current fitness level and goals.
2. Cardiovascular Exercise. The Bio Force® Sport system includes a cardio workout program. You can achieve an effective cardio workout from a variety of activities, such as walking, hiking, swimming and jog­ging. We recommend that you do a cardio workout for at least 30 minutes, 3 times a week. You can easily alternate days for your Bio Force® and cardio workouts. Again, the frequency and duration of your workouts will depend on your current fitness level and goals. Please refer to the Cardiovascular Workout section on pages 83 and 85 to determine the workout that is appropriate for you.
3. Nutrition. The Bio Force ® Sport system also includes the Eating Plan booklet to provide you with healthy eating choices.
For best results, we recommend that you begin with Eric Lichter’s 8 Week Body Transformation Plan on pages 30-39 of this manual.
4. Keep track of how many sets and repetitions of
each exercise you are able to do at first. You will be surprised at how quickly you progress. In just a few weeks you’ll probably be able to complete all of the sets and repetitions at the resistance level you choose.
5. Progress slowly. If you are very sore and tired after
your workout, you are working at a level that is too hard. Great results can be obtained by working at a level that challenges you, but doesn’t create soreness and excessive fatigue.
6. It is important that you know how to work out
safely and properly. These safety steps are for your benefit and you should follow them closely to maximize the effectiveness of your workout routine.
7. You should begin to feel results within one to two
weeks of working out with your equipment. Look for better posture and the feeling of more strength and efficiency in your muscles.
IMPORTANT EXERCISE AND SAFETY TIPS
1. Review this Owner’s Manual/Exercise Book
and the video completely before you begin your exercise program. Remember to follow the instructions exactly – they have been developed with your health and safety in mind.
2. Perform the exercises at a slow and controlled
speed. For best results, perform all of the exercises at the tempo demonstrated in the video. Working at a fast pace is not recommended, and may compromise your safety and results.
3. You may not be able to complete all of the sets
and repetitions suggested at first. When you feel your muscles fatiguing, or are unable to work with good form and technique, decrease your resistance level or take a short break and rest.

GETTING STARTED ON YOUR BIO FORCE®SPORT EXERCISER
Your Bio Force® Sport exerciser is one serious piece of exercise equipment! We recommend that before you start working out, you read the entire Owner’s Manual and view the workout video that came with your equipment.
Adjusting Resistance with Slide-N-Lock Technology
To change resistance, it just takes seconds. Simply pull up on the Slide-N-Lock Adjuster to disengage it from its current position. Then, keeping the Adjuster disengaged, simply slide it to the next desired weight position and release it. Make sure the locking mechanism has engaged into the new resistance position. To double-check, the resistance indicator window should show “red.”
Adjusting the Seat
The Bio Force® Sport seat has two height positions. If you are taller, you may wish to use the lower position to get the fullest range of motion from the Lat Tower exercises. If you are shorter, you may prefer the higher position to more easily reach the Lat Bar. It is up to you!
If you wish to change positions, simply remove the Long Hitch Pin, and pull up on the Seat to disengage it from the Positioning Pins. Move it to the new position and place the Seat onto the Positioning Pins. Once it is in place, reinsert the Long Hitch Pin to secure. Do not use the Seat unless the Long Hitch Pin
is in place.
Adjusting the Leg Attachment
The lower Foam Pad on the Leg Lift Tube has 4 positions. These are to accommodate user leg length and comfort.
To change the Foam Pad, simply remove the Leg Bar Cap from one end of the Pad. Slide off the Foam Pad from that side. Now slide the Tube and remaining Pad out of the Leg Assembly hole. Reinsert into the new desired position. Replace the first Foam Pad and replace the Leg Bar Cap. Make certain the Leg Bar Cap is secured.

8 WEEK BODY TRANSFORMATION PLAN
In just two short months you can be on your way to achieving your fitness dreams.
That's right…just two months…eight weeks…60 days.
That is all it takes to follow my body transformation plan. And best of all, when you finish my
8 week program, you'll be hooked. You are going to feel and look better than ever. Friends,
relatives and co-workers are going to marvel at the changes in your body. And you know
what? You are going to want more!
So what have you got to lose? Step up and take the eight week challenge. I don't care how
old you are…I don't care what shape you are in…I don't care if you're an elite athlete or the
farthest you walk is from the couch to the fridge. You're going to work…You're going to
sweat…And I'm going to make sure you love every minute of it! The results you'll see
when you take the eight week challenge are going to blow you away! So get ready to get
yourself into the best shape of your life and see what you've been missing!
PLAN INTRODUCTION:
Any fitness plan has three parts: Strength Training, Proper Nutrition and Aerobic Exercise. Each part is essential to success. If you miss anyone of the elements, you will not see the results you are after. My 8 Week Plan contains all three. Take a look at the outlines below. Review each part and make them a part of your life.
GETTING STARTED:
Everyone has to start somewhere…and this is it. Take a photo of yourself today in your swimsuit. Guys - shirts off! Ladies - make it a two piece! Now is the time to make an honest assessment of where you are…and where you want to go. Also, take your measurements. You will find a body measurement guide at the end of this manual. Note that we are not going to concern ourselves too much with body weight. This is because body weight does not always tell the whole story. It is a fact that fat weighs less than muscle, but muscle is leaner and more compact than fat. So…you can be losing inches and getting the lean, sexy body you've always wanted, but not be losing that much weight. That is because you are trading fat for muscle. Therefore, a better indicator is inch loss…Even easier than that is noticing how much better your clothes fit. Okay…so you've taken your picture and your measurements. Store them in a safe place.
In 8 weeks, you are going to be amazed at the difference!

8 WEEK BODY TRANSFORMATION PLAN
PART ONE:
STRENGTH TRAINING WITH THE BIO FORCE®SPORT EXERCISER
The first part of our fitness equation is strength training. The benefits of strength training are well known…but just in case you forgot…here are a few highlights, courtesy of my friend Douglas Brooks, MS, Exercise Physiologist:
• Fat Loss, Weight Control, Weight Maintenance
One advantage resistance training offers is a leaner body. Maintaining or increasing muscle mass preserves your ability to bur n higher numbers of calories. Your body is operating at a higher metabolic rate and it's easier to maintain or lose weight.
• Increased Metabolism
If you have a lot of muscle, your metabolism is higher and you "burn" more calories since muscle is metabolically active.
• Increased Calorie Burning During Resistance Training
Any activity, including strength training, burns calories during the activity and contributes to fitness.
• Increased Calorie Burning After Exercise
Vigorous strength training significantly elevates calorie burning (metabolic rate) anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes or longer after you've finished.
• Reductions in Resting Blood Pressure
If you have high blood pressure or borderline high blood pressure, generally it's acceptable to use moderate resistance and perform 15-20 repetitions to fatigue. Diet and exercise can lower blood pressure. Check with a doctor to get a specific recommendation.
• Positive Changes in Cholesterol Profiles
HDL cholesterol (the "good guy") is raised primarily by exercising and losing fat. Of course, diet (i.e., proper food choices) is important to lower harmful LDL (the "bad guy" cholesterol) and triglycerides (fat).
• A Stronger Body That is Less Prone to Injuries
Stronger muscles increase the thickness and strength of tendons (which connect muscles to bones) and ligaments (which provide integrity to joints by connecting bone-to-bone). Stronger muscles let you perform better, and with less chance of injury to the muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints.
• Personal Physical Independence
Many people lose their "freedom" because they've lost the strength to be mobile. Strong individuals perform better and physical activity feels good to their bodies.
• Improved Posture
Strength and flexibility are the keys to correct body alignment. You quite possibly will look and feel better!
• Improved Physical Image
Strength training will change how you look. If you don't believe this, compare a runner who only trains the cardiovascular system with an athlete who strength trains as well as participates in aerobic activity.
• Improved Self-Esteem
You'll feel strong, look strong and think that you're strong. In fact, you will be strong!
Now that we've reviewed why it is important to strength train, there is no question that you should do it! At the end of this section you will find my 8 week workout plan that shows you exactly how to use your Bio Force
®
Sport exerciser for the next eight weeks.

8 WEEK BODY TRANSFORMATION PLAN
PART TWO:
PROPER NUTRITION
All of the strength training in the world can't overcome a poor diet. If you truly want to get in the best shape of your life, you need to give your body the right “fuel!” Included with your Bio Force®Sport exerciser you will find a booklet entitled “Eating Plan.” The Eating Plan included was developed by a nutritionist. It includes a complete and thorough diet program designed to help you eat healthy foods and in the right portions. Review this plan carefully and follow its recommendations for the duration of the 8 week program.
Get to it!
All right! What are we waiting for? Now is the time to begin! Make sure to incorporate all 3 parts of my plan into your “new you” program. In just 8 short weeks you are going to look and feel amazing! And don't forget to take some photos of yourself at the end of week eight… I would love to hear about your results.
The following workout is comprised of 32 total workouts. In addition to proper eating, you will do an aerobic workout and work out on the Bio Force
®
Sport exerciser
4 times a week, for 8 weeks. Make sure to rest in between days.
Now when you start the Bio Force
®
workout, use a light amount of resistance and slowly progress up to heavier resistance. How do you know how much weight is right for you? Easy…when you are exercising, your muscles should reach fatigue at the end of the 15 reps. If they are not fatigued at the end of 15 repetitions, you need to add more resistance…and if you can’t make it to 15 reps, you will need to subtract resistance.
Review how to adjust the resistance with Slide-N-Lock Technology on page 29 of this manual.
Now Let’s Get Started! Here are the 32 individual Bio Force®workouts. Each contains a list of exercises you are to perform. The first number next to each exercise is the number of “sets” you are to execute. The second number indicates the numbers of “repetitions” in each set. So for the very first exercise in workout #1, 15 squats equal 1 complete set. And you are to complete three sets.
After completing your Bio Force®workout, you should finish your Body Transformation Workout by completing 20 minutes of aerobic exercise. Refer to the Aerobic Exercise portion of this manual for a complete list of aerobic exercises and additional guidelines.
Also note that before and after EVERY WORKOUT you will need to perform the general warm up, cool down, and stretching routine that is recommended in this manual. Please refer to page 25 for the specific details to the stretching, warm up, and cool down routines.
PART THREE:
AEROBIC EXERCISE
And last but not least - aerobic exercise. This is the final piece of the “new you” puzzle. By elevating your heart rate just a few times a week, you will increase your cardiovascular endurance, burn calories and help guarantee your success. At the end of this manual you will find a complete section devoted to the benefits of aerobic exercise. Refer to the Aerobic Exercise portion of the guide for a complete rundown of aerobic activities and guidelines. For the duration of the 8 week program you should do 20 minutes of aerobic exercise 4 times a week as instructed below.

WARM-UP AND COOL DOWN STRETCHES
When performing these stretches, your movements should be slow and smooth, with no bouncing or jerking. Move into the stretch until you feel a slight tension, not pain, in the muscle and hold the stretch for 20 to 30 seconds. Breathe slowly and rhythmically. Be sure not to hold your breath. Remember that all stretches must be done for both sides of your body.
1. Quadriceps Stretch
Stand close to a wall, chair or other solid object. Use one hand to assist your balance. Bend the opposite knee and lift your heel towards your buttocks. Reach back and grasp the top of your foot with the same side hand. Keeping your inner thighs close together, slowly pull your foot towards your buttocks until you feel a gentle stretch in the front of your thigh. You do not have to touch your buttocks with your heel. Stop pulling when you feel the stretch. Keep your kneecap pointing straight down and keep your knees close together. (Do not let the lifted knee swing outward.)
Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat for the other leg.
2. Calf and Achilles Stretch
Stand approximately one arms length away from a wall or chair with your feet hip-width apart. Keeping your toes pointed forward, move one leg in close to the chair while extending the other leg behind you. Bending the leg closest to the chair and keeping the other leg straight, place your hands on the chair. Keep the heel of the back leg on the ground and move your hips forward. Slowly lean forward from the ankle, keeping your back leg straight until you feel a stretch in your calf muscles.
Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat for the opposite leg.
3. Overhead/Triceps Stretch
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your knees slightly bent. Lift one arm overhead and bend your elbow, reaching down behind your head with your hand toward the opposite shoulder blade. Walk your fingertips down your back as far as you can. Hold this position. Reach up with your opposite hand and grasp your flexed elbow. Gently assist the stretch by pulling on the elbow.
Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat for the opposite arm.
