INTRODUCTION

BEFORE STARTING THIS OR ANY OTHER EXERCISE PROGRAM, CONSULT
YOUR PHYSICIAN,
who can assist you in determining the target heart rate zone
appropriate for your age and physical condition. Certain exercises, programs or types
of equipment may not be appropriate for all people. This is especially important for
persons over the age of 35, pregnant women, or those with pre-existing health
problems or balance impairments.
START OUT SLOWLY AND PROGRESS SENSIBLY. Progress at a pace that is
comfortable for you. Perform all of the exercises at the tempo demonstrated in the
video or DVD for best results.
MONITOR YOUR HEART RATE WHILE YOU EXERCISE AND KEEP YOUR
ESTIMATED PULSE RATE WITHIN YOUR TARGET HEART RATE ZONE.
Follow the instructions on page 7 in this manual regarding heart rate monitoring and
how to determine your appropriate target heart rate zone. When used properly, the
heart rate pulse sensors and display monitor provide a reasonably accurate estimate
of your actual heart rate. This estimate is not exact and persons with medical
conditions and/or a specific need for accurate heart rate monitoring should not rely on
the estimations provided.
DO NOT OVER EXERT YOURSELF WITH THIS OR ANY OTHER EXERCISE
PROGRAM.
Listen to your body and respond to any reactions you may be having.
You must distinguish “good” pain, like fatigue, from “bad” pain, which hurts. 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.
USE CARE WHEN STEPPING ON AND OFF EQUIPMENT.
Set up and use your Gazelle Power Plus on a solid, level, carpeted surface. Follow the
instructions demonstrated in your video and on page 8 in this manual for proper entry
and exit techniques.
HAVE PLENTY OF CLEARANCE BEHIND AND IN FRONT OF YOUR GAZELLE
POWER PLUS.
It is important to keep children, pets, furniture and other objects out
of the way of the swinging foot platforms. You should have a minimum of 3 feet of
clearance both in front of and behind your unit.
WEAR APPROPRIATE CLOTHING WHEN EXERCISING. Workout clothing should
be comfortable and lightweight. Wear athletic shoes, such as running or aerobic shoes.
Do not use this product with bare feet.
GAZELLE POWER PLUS IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY CHILDREN. Keep this
and all fitness equipment out of the reach of children.
