FACTORS IN A SENSIBLE DIET
Choose high-fiber, low-fat, and low-sugar
•
foods: fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
• Eat at least five servings of fruits and
vegetables daily.
• Reduce red meat consumption; eat lean meat,
white meat, and fish.
• Choose healthful snacks; bring healthful foods
with you to work or in the car.
• Eat regular meals or mini-meals. Control your
portion size—don't binge or overeat. Eat
slowly.
• Reduce fast food and pre-packaged meals.
• Pay attention to fat content and calories.
• Limit alcoholic beverages and caffeine.
• Drink at least eight to ten glasses of water
daily.
Determine your target heart rate.

Your
target heart rate
ou would like your heart to work during aerobic
y
exercise. It is expressed as a percentage of your
maximum heart rate
number of times that your heart can pump during
one minute. To determine your approximate MHR,
subtract your age (in years) from 220. This is only
an estimation of your MHR—only clinical stress
testing can provide an actual MHR reading.
Once you have determined your MHR, you can
establish your target heart rate zone. Beginning
exercisers may wish to start at 60 to 70 percent of
their MHR. This level is called the

EXERCISE STEPS
The following nine steps for designing your exercise
program were developed by exercise physiologists at
NordicTrack. The actual exercise you perform is only
a part of a safe and effective training program. There
are many other aspects to developing a life-long
commitment to physical fitness.
Consult your physician before beginning
1
any exercise program.
A medical examination or consultation with your
physician is essential.
Establish personal fitness goals.
2
Set attainable, realistic goals. Reward yourself
when you meet your goals. Remember, your
goals should act as a guide for your workout
program.
Be sure to check your heart rate at least twice
during an aerobic conditioning session. First,
check your heart rate five minutes into your workout to be sure that you are at the proper intensity.
Then, check it again near the end of your workout
to verify that you have maintained your target
heart rate for the recommended period of time.

WEIGHT LOSS TIPS
At least four, 30-minute workouts per week,
along with a reduced-calorie diet, are
recommended if you are trying to lose weight.
However, be sure to stay within your target heart
rate zone and exercise a maximum of 5 days per
week for 60 minutes per workout.
Good posture is the key to safe, comfortable
workouts. Keep your chin up and your head
facing forward. Align your head and shoulders
with your hips. Avoid leaning forward. Keep your
back straight.
Warm up before you begin.
4
A warm-up routine prepares your body and mind
for vigorous exercise. It also helps provide insurance against injury and soreness. Warm up with
two to five minutes of slow exercise, at minimal intensity.
3. Hamstring Stretch—Sit with one leg extended.
Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and
est it against the inner thigh of your extended leg.
r
Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold
or 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times
f
for both legs. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back,
and groin.
4. 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 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3
times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
5. Quadriceps Stretch—With one hand against a
wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot
with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to
your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 to 30
seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg.
Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
1
Stretch after your warm-up.
5
A pliable, well-stretched muscle is less susceptible to injury. Perform the recommended stretches
on a smooth, flat surface.
The correct form for several stretches is described
below (refer to the drawings at the right). Be sure
to move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch—Sit with your knees bent
slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips.
Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you
reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for
15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times.
Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees, and back.
2. Calf/Achilles Stretch—With one leg in front of
the other, reach forward and place your hands
against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and
your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front
leg, lean forward, and move your hips toward the
wall. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, 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.

Effective aerobic exercise has three major parts:

outs. Three to five workouts per week are
recommended. Exercise at least four times a
week for weight loss.
“I” refers to the intensity of your workout.
I
Check your heart rate at least twice during
your aerobic exercise session: once during the
session and once again at the end. Maintain a
workout intensity level within your Target Heart
Rate Zone. You can measure your heart rate
using the handgrip pulse sensor or the method
described below:
1. Lower your wrist below your heart level. This
will make your heart rate stronger and easier to
feel.
2. Using the tips
of the index and
middle fingers of
your right hand,
touch your left
wrist, one-fourth
inch from your
wrist joint, at the
base of your
thumb.
3. Apply minimal pressure with both fingers—let
the beat come to your fingers. If you can't find
your pulse, use the opposite wrist and hand.

Remember to take it slowly. Fitness is a lifelong
commitment. If you can't go the full 20 minutes
from the start, which is common, try to exercise
for five minutes at a time, a couple of times a day.
Recent research indicates that several short
workouts in one day can also provide fitness
benefits. Gradually, your stamina will increase
and it will become easier to exercise for longer
periods of time.
Cool down after aerobic exercise.
7
Keep moving! It is important that you cool down
properly to allow your heart rate to decrease
slowly after it has been elevated. This helps the
blood flow from your extremities back to your
heart. Keep your legs moving on the INCLINE
TRAINER at a slower pace for at least five minutes following the aerobic phase.
Stretch again at the end of your exercise

session.
Stretching after exercise reduces muscle soreness. See step 5 on page 34.

"Balanced fitness, including both strength training
and aerobic exercise, can do more to ensure a
happy life than just about anything else known to
medical science today."
—Kenneth Cooper, M.D., M.P.H., founder of The
Cooper Institute For Aerobic Research, Dallas,
Texas.
A strength-training program increases your lean
muscle mass. Lean muscle mass aids in burning
body fat. With additional muscle mass and
strength, you will receive the full benefits of an
exercise program. You will also be less prone to
injuries during the aerobic phase of your workout.

life's aches and pains. However, it takes time for
your body to adapt to any new routine. Below are
some tips that will help ease you into your new
NordicTrack routine.
• Begin and end each exercise session with the
stretches on page 34. Stretch in a smooth,
controlled manner. Hold each stretch for 15 to
30 seconds. You may experience some initial
muscle soreness and discomfort as a result of
exercising inactive or poorly stretched
muscles. For maximum benefit, a stretching
routine must be performed every day.
• Be aware of your body's signals and react to
them accordingly. At your correct exercise intensity, you should be able to whistle or maintain a normal conversation. If during
exercise you feel tired, light-headed, dizzy, or
nauseated, stop exercising immediately and
consult your physician. Your heart rate may
also be affected by such things as stress,
caffeine, nicotine, or prescription drugs.

to your workout routine and further condition your
cardiovascular system. Interval training has been
shown to promote higher levels of aerobic conditioning. It consists of spurts of high-intensity activity followed by active rest periods of exercise at a lower intensity. For example, a one-minute spurt of high-resistance, fast exercise is followed by a two- to threeminute active rest period of low-resistance, slow exercise. The duration of these periods should be based
