When using the treadmill, follow these general guidelines:

•At the beginning of a workout, take several minutes to bring your heart rate into your training zone, which is shown in Diagram 14 later in this manual.

•After your workout, walk slowly for several minutes to cool down your body and lower your heart rate.

•Gently stretch your lower body and back before and after a workout to help prevent stiffness or soreness.
