Introduction

GOOD HEALTH IS AN EXERCISE IN COMMON SENSE.

The basics of good health are really common sense. Eat right, drink lots of water, get enough sleep, and exercise at least 3-4 times a week. It may sound simple, but to achieve the look and vitality most health-conscious men and women want, takes more discipline than most people are willing to endure. Having fitness equipment in your home makes it easier to achieve your goals. And having Diamondback equipment gives you even more of an edge. Because when your equipment is comfortable, simple and effective, you exer- cise more. And that means better results.

A WORKOUT THAT WORKS FOR YOU.

To maintain cardiovascular fitness, the American Heart Association recom- mends that you exercise 3 to 4 days a week at 60%-75% of your maximum heart rate. By monitoring your heart rate while you exercise, you can get the most effective workout in the least amount of time. It’s the easiest way of deter- mining if youíre exercising at a safe and effective level. Of course, if you want to lose weight or reach a higher level of athletic conditioning, working out 5 to 6 times a week will help you achieve that goal faster.

GET A SMART START ON EXERCISING.

1.Always stretch before your workout to loosen muscles, and afterwards to cool down.

2.The first few minutes of your workout should be devoted to warming up muscles before a vigorous workout, and building your heart rate slowly.

3.After your aerobic workout of about 24-32 minutes, spend 10 minutes gradually reducing your heart rate with a lower resistance level.

4.The 960Sr console contains integrated warm up and cool down programs to safely bring your heart rate up and back down again.

Remember, start slow, with intensity low, until you build endurance and strength. And always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
