4	Getting the Most Out of Your Workout
	A workout on the M9.4 Electronic Treadmill Ergometer provides excellent and
	efficient cardiovascular conditioning, while strengthening and toning all the
	major muscle groups in the lower body. Darkened areas in Diagram 1 indicate

the muscles worked.

To get the most out of each workout, a general understanding of the principles behind aerobic training is invaluable. The best source of fitness information is your specialty fitness dealer. In addition to providing information on which exercise equipment is the best for your individual needs, your fitness dealer can provide advice on training, technique, and exercise physiology. Your dealer can also recommend good books on these subjects.

To help you get started in planning and carrying out your fitness program, this section provides some basic information on aerobic exercise—such as how hard you should work out, how long each session should be, and how often you need to exercise to benefit from a regular program.
