OMEGA FITNESS 25
' G I E
If you're beginning an exercise program, you should check with your
doctor if:
[]
You have been diagnosed with heart
problems, high blood pressure or other medical conditions.
[]
You have not exercised for over a year.
[]
If you are over 35 and do not currently exercise.
[]
You are pregnant.
[]
You have diabetes.
[]
You have chest pain, or experience dizziness or fainting spells.
[]
You are recovering from an injury or
illness.
WORK-OUT TIPS
[] Always perform stretching exercises
both before and after your work-out see page 23.
[] Start slowly, doing too much too soon
can lead to injuries.
[] If you are sore or tired, give yourself a
few extra days to recover.
HOW TO BEGIN
[] Startwith twoorthree 15 minute
sessions per week with a rest day between work-outs.
[]
Warm-up for 5 to 10 minutes with gentle movements like walking or
swinging your arms in a circle and then stretch the muscles you'll use during your work-out.
[]
Increase the pace and resistance to slightly harder than comfortable and
exercise for as long as you can. You may only be able to exercise for a few minutes at a time, but that will change
quickly if you exercise regularly.
[]
End each work-out with a 5-minute cool down with the resistance set to a low level. You should then stretch the
muscles you've just worked to prevent injury and cramp.
[]
Increase your work-out time by a few minutes each week until you can work
continuously for 30 minutes per session.
[] Don't worry about distance or pace.
For the first few weeks, focus on endurance and conditioning.
How hard should you work?
When exercising, you should try to stay within your Target Heart Rate (THR) zone.
The table on the previous page will tell you the THR for your age. This is only a guide and will depend on the fitness and condition (health) of the person using
the elliptical trainer.
Always be aware of how you feel when you exercise. If you feel dizzy or light-
headed, stop immediately and rest. If you're not breaking a sweat, speed it up!

TIPS FOR STRETCHING
- Begin with gradual mobility exercises of all the joints, i.e. simply rotate the
wrists, bend the arm and roll your
shoulders. This will allow the body's natural lubrication (synovial fluid) to
protect the surface of your bones at
these joints.
Always warm up the body before
stretching, as this increases blood flow around the body, which in turn makes
the muscles more responsive.
Start with your legs, and work up the body.
Each stretch should be held for at least 10 seconds (working up to 20 to 30
seconds) and usually repeated about
2 or 3 times.
Do not stretch until it hurts. If there's any pain, ease off.
Don't bounce. Stretching should be
gradual and relaxed.
- Don't hold your breath during a stretch.
Stretch after exercising to prevent muscles from tightening up.
Stretch at least three times a week to maintain flexibility.
