This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes though most people start at
about 15-20 minutes

3. The Cool Down Phase

This stage is to let your Cardio-vascular System and muscles wind down. This is a repeat of the
warm up exercise e.g. reduce your tempo, continue for approximately 5 minutes. The stretching
exercises should now be repeated, again remembering not to force or jerk your muscles into the
stretch.
As you get fitter you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least three
times a week, and if possible space your workouts evenly throughout the week.

MUSCLE TONING

To tone muscle while on your EXERCISE CROSS TRAINER you will need to have the
resistance set quite high. This will put more strain on our leg muscles and may mean you
cannot train for as long as you would like. If you are also trying to improve your fitness you need
to alter your training program. You should train as normal during the warm up and cool down
phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase you should increase resistance making your
legs work harder. You will have to reduce your speed to keep your heart rate in the target zone.

WEIGHT LOSS

The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work the
more calories you will burn. Effectively this is the same as if you were training to improve your
fitness, the difference is the goal.
