Proper usage of this product is

essential. Please read your manual
carefully before exercising.
Please keep all children away from
the equipment during use and when
equipment is unattended.
Always wear appropriate clothing,

good condition.
Before beginning
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 gradually, a
few minutes per week.
Initially you may be able to exercise
only for a few minutes in your target
zone. However, your aerobic fitness
will improve over the next six to eight
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. And the better your
aerobic fitness, the harder you will
have to work to stay in your target
zone. But remember these essentials:
>Contact your physician before
starting a workout or training
program. Have your doctor review
your training and diet programs to
advise you of a workout routine you
should adopt.
important step s
Monitor your pulse frequently. If you
do not have an electronic heart rate
monitor, have your physician show
you the proper way to manually check
your pulse by using your wrist or
neck. Establish your target heart rate
based on your age and
condition.
>Drink plenty of fluids during the
course of your routine. You must
replace the water content lost from
excessive exercising to avoid
dehydration. Avoid drinking large
amounts of cold liquids. Fluids should
be at room temperature when
consumed.
>Begin your training program slowly
with realistic goals that have been
set by you and your doctor.
>Supplement your program with
some type of aerobic exercise such
as walking, jogging, swimming,
dancing and/or bicycling.

Finding your pulse
To make sure your heart is beating
in its target zone, you’ll need to know
how to monitor your heart rate. The
easiest way is to feel the pulse in
the carotid artery on either side of

and the large neck muscles. Count

exercise, and a cool-down. Do the
entire program at least two and

several months, you can increase
your workouts to four or five times
per week.
