THE IMPORTANCE OF A WARM-UP & COOL DOWN

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARM UP

 

 

 

PRECAUTIONS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

warm up should gradually bring your heart rate into your Target Heart Rate Zone.

 

 

IMPORTANT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first 2 to 5 minutes of a workout should be devoted to warming up. The warm-up will limber your muscles

 

 

 

 

 

 

and prepare them for more strenuous exercise. Make sure that you warm-up on your product at a slow pace. The

 

 

 

 

 

 

COOL DOWN

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ASSEMBLY

 

 

 

Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period of 3-5 minutes allows your heart to readjust to the decreased

 

 

 

 

 

demand. Make sure that your cool down period consists of a very slow pace to allow your heart rate to lower. After

 

 

 

 

 

the cool-down, repeat the stretching exercises listed above to loosen and relax your muscles.

An important step in developing a long-term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your primary goal

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

for exercising to lose weight? Improve muscle? Reduce stress? Prepare for the spring racing schedule? Knowing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise program. Below are some common exercise

GUIDELINES

 

 

 

If possible try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms, and then put your goals in writing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The more specific you can be, the easier it will be to track your progress. If your goals are long term, divide them

 

 

 

 

 

 

up into monthly and weekly segments. Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation benefits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Short-term goals are easier to achieve. Your console provides you with several readouts that can be used to

 

 

 

 

 

 

record your progress. You can track distance, calories or time.
