HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE TREADMILL training zone. It may also be helpful to set the speed control on the console to FAT BURN to help you maintain the proper intensity level. (See page 10.) WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-existing health problems. Aerobic Exercise If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.
Training Zone Exercise to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help to prevent post-exercise problems. After warming up, increase the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is in your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise—do not hold your breath.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE WEIGHT BENCH Next, perform 6 to 10 of the exercises shown on the included chart. To give balance and variety to your workouts, vary the exercises from workout to workout.

As your fitness level increases, perform 2 or 3 sets for each exercise. Always rest for at least 1 minute after each set.
