of breath, Stop exercising immediately and consult your physician
before continuing.

of the Treadmill, Exercycle or Elliptical.
- Never use solvents for cleaning, clean with slightly damp
cloth only.
- Always give the Treadmill a 5-Minute rest by switching off

SEAT ADJUSTMENT: While seated
loosen the seat knob on the front below seat and slide the seat
forward or back. When the seat is positioned to your comfort lock
the seat, it locks automatically. The seat is at the proper position
when your knee is slightly bent when the pedal is in the furthest
position, with the ball of your foot centered on the pedal.
BENEFITS / ADVANTAGES OF STATIONARY CYCLING: Stationary
cycling provides an excellent aerobic workout while conditioning
your lower body especially your quadriceps [front of thighs.]
Cycling is a low- impact workout that creates less stress on your
knees and joints. The exercise provides for targeted weight loss
on the Buns, Thighs and lower abdomen. In addition the recumbent
cycle has the added advantage of strengthening the Gluteus [rear]
and Hamstring muscles [back of thighs].
Cycling is an excellent Cardio- vascular exercise
and improves your stamina and while strengthening your legs gives
you the benefit of targeting your calorie burn- out, thereby,
reducing your weight where it matters most. Use Fat burn Program
3 to 6 for weight loss and 7 to 10 for endurance and strength.
Program 11 & 12 are heart rate programs. Program 2 is a combination
of endurance & weight loss.
The Elliptical Trainer has a large footpad offering
you a variety of foot positions. Moving your foot to the forwardmost
position of the footpad increases your step height; your workout
in this position is most effective in developing your quadriceps
muscles. By placing your feet to the toward the back of the foot
pad decreases your step height and keeps the step pattern elliptical,
thereby your workout will feel more like a ski glide or smooth
run or walk.

IMPORTANT EXERCISE
GUIDELINES: The American Heart association recommends
that you exercise at least 3 to 4 days per week to maintain
cardiovascular fitness. If you have other goals such as
weight or fat loss you will achieve your goal faster with
more frequent exercise. Remember that your ultimate goal
should be to make exercise a lifetime habit.
For aerobic exercise benefits it’s
recommended that you exercise from between 24 to 32 minutes
per session. If your goal is weight loss a longer exercise
pattern at lower intensities has been found to be most effective.
A workout of 48 minutes is recommended for best weight loss
results.
Always begin a program at low intensity
level. Aerobic exercise does not have to be vigorous or
painful to be beneficial. There are two ways to measure
your exercise intensity. The first is by monitoring your
heart rate and the second is by evaluating your perceived
exertion level. If while exercising you are too winded to
maintain a conversation without gasping, It means you are
working too hard. If you cannot catch your breath it is
time to slow down. |
The benefits of exercise are --
-
Weight loss / Weight maintenance.
-
Improve body shape and tone / strengthen
leg muscles.
-
Increased energy level / Improved sleep
patterns.
-
Improved cardiovascular endurance and
stress reduction.
-
Positive thinking and hence a Positive
attitude.
-
For Strength Training it’s recommended
that you use optimum weight where you can do 8 to 10 repetitions.
Do 3 to 4 sets for each body part for example Chest press
for chest; Lat pulls down for back and leg extension for quadriceps.
The weight factor must be such that no discomfort or pain
is felt while exercising. Increase weight gradually and it
is recommended that 45 to 60 seconds break be taken between
sets of exercise.
We wish all users good health and happiness.
Start exercising it will improve your outlook on life and make
you a healthier and happier individual. Stay motivated and have
realistic goals. Monitor your progress every fortnight and always
exercise within your target heart rate zone.
