  • Page 31: Common Product Questions

    CAN I MOVE THE TRAINER EASILY ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED? Your elliptical trainer has a pair of transport wheels built into the front legs. It is easy to move your elliptical trainer by rolling it on the front transport wheels. It is important that you place your ellipti- cal trainer in a comfortable and inviting room.

  • Page 32: Conditioning Guidelines

    Conditioning Guidelines Always consult your physician before beginning an exercise program. HOW OFTEN? The American Heart Association recommends that you exercise at least 3 to 4 days per week to main- tain cardiovascular fitness. If you have other goals such as weight or fat loss, you will achieve your goal faster with more frequent exercise.
  • Page 33 HOW HARD? How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your elliptical trainer to prepare for a 5K run, you will probably work out at a higher intensity than if your goal is general fitness.

  • Page 34: Monitoring Your Heart Rate

    Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum, with the Horizon Fitness logo facing out. Note: The chest strap must be tight and properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout.

  • Page 35: Heart Rate Chart

    Heart Rate Chart TARGET HEART RATE ZONE Your ‘Target Heart Rate Zone’ is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target Zones will vary for each individual, depending on age, current level of conditioning, and personal fitness goals. The American Heart Association recommends working-out at a ‘Target Heart Rate Zone’ of between 60% and 75% of your maximum heart rate.

  • Page 36: Developing A Fitness Program

    Developing A Fitness Program STRETCH FIRST Before using your Horizon Fitness product, it is best to take a few minutes doing a few gentle stretch- ing exercises. Stretching prior to exercise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise relat- ed injury.

  • Page 37: Warm Up & Cool Down

    Warm Up & Cool Down 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.

  • Page 38: Achieving Your Fitness Goals

    An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your pri- mary goal for exercising on your elliptical trainer 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.
