WARNING:

SHOCK

ADJUSTMENT

How you begin your exercise progra m depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for
several years, or are severely overweight, you must start slowly and incre a se your time on the

Space Mate

Folding Stepper gradually: a few minute s per workout.

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 e ight weeks. Don't be discouraged if it ta kes longer . It's i mportant to
work at your own pace. Ultimately, you'll be able to exercise continuously for 30 minutes. The better your
aerobic fitness, the harder you will have to work to stay in your target zone. Please remember these
essentials:

Have your doctor review your training and diet programs to advise you of a workout routine you
should adopt.

Begin your training progra m slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your doctor.
Monitor your pulse frequently. Establish your target heart rate base on your age and condition.

Set up your

Space Mate Folding Stepper on a flat, even surface at least 3 feet from walls and

furniture.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

11

To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper
intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart
rate should be maintained at a level between 70% and 85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise.
This is known as your target zone. You can find your target zone in the table below . Target zones are listed
for both unconditioned and conditioned persons according to age.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

During the first few months of your exercise program, keep your
heart rate near the low end of your target zone as you exercise.
After a few months, your heart rate can be increased gradually
until it is near the middle of your target zone as you exercise.

T o mea sure your heart rate ma nually ,
stop exercising but continue moving
your legs or walking around and pla ce
two fingers on your wrist. Take a
six-second heartbeat count and
multiply the results by 10 to find your
heart rate. For example, if your
six-second heartbeat count is 14,
your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. (A six-second count is
used because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop
exercising.) Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart
rate is at the proper level.

12

WARM-UP and COOL-DOWN

Warm-up The purpose of warming up is to prepare your body f or exercise and to mini mize injuries. W arm

up for two to five minutes before strength-training or aerobic exercising. Perform activities that raise your
heart rate and warm the working muscle s. Activitie s may include brisk walking, jogging, jumping ja cks, jump
rope, and running in place

Stretching Stretching while your muscles are warm after a proper warm-up and again after your strength

or aerobic training session is very important. Muscles stretch more easily at these times because of their
elevated temperature, which greatly reduces the risk of in jury . Stretches should be held for 15 to 30 seconds.
Do not bounce.

Suggested Stretching Exercise s

Remember always to check with your physician before starting any exercise program.

Cool-Down The purpose of cooling down is to return the body to its normal, or near normal, resting state

at the end of ea ch exercise se ssion. A proper cool-down slowly lowers your heart rate a nd allows blood to
return to the heart. Y our cool-down should include the stretche s listed above a nd should be completed after
each strength-training session.
