DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAM
STRETCH FIRST
Before using your VISION FITNESS Elliptical Trainer, it is best to spend a few minutes during a few gentle stretching exercises. Stretching prior to exercise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise related injury. Ease into each of these stretches with a slow gentle motion.
WALL PUSH
Stand near a wall, with the toes of one foot about 18” from the wall, and the other foot about 12” behind that. Lean forward, push- ing against the wall with your palms. Keep your heels flat and hold this position for a count of 15 seconds. Do not bounce.
Alternate the positions of your feet and repeat for a total of 8 repetitions.
STANDING QUADRICEPS STRETCH
Using a wall or your Elliptical Trainer to provide balance, grasp your left ankle with your left hand and hold your foot against the back of your thigh for a count of 15 seconds.
Repeat with your right ankle and
44hand, and continue alternating for
a total of 8 repetitions.
