Regardless of your long term goals, always begin an exercise program at low intensity. Aerobic exercise does not have to be 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 (this is simpler than it sounds!). PERCEIVED EXERTION LEVEL The second and simpler way to gauge your exercise intensity is to evaluate your perceived exertion level. While exercising if you are too winded to maintain a conversation without gasping, you are working out too hard. A good rule of thumb is to work to the point of exhilaration, not exhaustion. If you cannot catch your breath, it's time to slow down. Always be aware of other warning signs of overexertion. 36 DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAM [tip^ STRETCH FIRST Before using your Horizon Fitness product, it is best to take a few minutes doing 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. Do not stretch to the point of pain. Make sure not to bounce while doing these stretches. WALL PUSH Stand near a wall with the toes of one foot about 18" from the wall, and the other fool about 12" behind the other foot. Lean forward, pushing against the wall with your palms. Keep your heels flat and hold this position for a count of 15 seconds. Make sure that you do not bounce while stretching. Alternate positions of your feet and repeat for a total of 8 repetitions. STANDING QUADRICEPS STRETCH Using a wall 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 hand, and continue alternating for a total of 8 repetitions. SEATED TOE TOUCH Sit on the floor with your legs together and straight out in front of you. Do not lock your knees. Extend your fingers towards your toes and hold for a count of 15 seconds. Make sure that you do not bounce while stretching. Sit upright again. Repeat for a total of 8 repetitions. THE IMPORTANCE OF WARM UP AND COOL DOWN WARM UP 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 Horizon Fitness product at a slow pace. COOL DOWN Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period 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. 37 ACHIEVING YOUR FITNESS GOALS An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your primary goal for exercising on your Horizon Fitness treadmill to lose weight? Improve muscle? Burn 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 goals: • Weight Loss • Improve Body Shape and Tone • Increased Energy Level • Improved Sports Performance • Improved Cardiovascular Endurance 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 Horizon Fitness treadmill console provides you with several readouts that can be used to record your progress. You can track Distance, Calories or Time. Time is the most important and useful of test functions. KEEPING AN EXERCISE DAIRY Photocopy the weekly and monthly log sheets on the following pages to make your personal exercise log book. As time goes by you'll be able to look back with pride at the work you've done. As your fitness improves, you can look back and see how far you've come. • Weight Maintenance • Strengthen Leg Muscles • Improved Sleep Patterns • Stress Reduction 38 WEEKLY LOG SHEET WEEK # WEEKLY GOAL: DAY DATE DISTANCE CALORIES TIME COMMENTS SUN MON TUES WED THUR FRI SAT WEEKLY TOTALS WEEK # WEEKLY GOAL: DAY DATE DISTANCE CALORIES TIME COMMENTS SUN MON TUES WED THUR FRI SAT WEEKLY TOTALS 39 MONTHLY LOG SHEET MONTH MONTHLY GOAL: WEEK# DISTANCE CALORIES TIME MONTHLY TOTALS MONTH MONTHLY GOAL: WEEK# DISTANCE CALORIES TIME MONTHLY TOTALS 40 LIMITED HOME USE WARRANTY FRAME • LIFETIME Horizon Fitness warrants the frame against defects in workmanship and materials for...
