    Rate Of Perceived Exertion Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout.

    Getting on / off your elliptical IMPORTANT The elliptical comes with two Dual Action Handles and a Stationary Handlebar. Always hold the Stationary Handlebar when getting on and off the elliptical. First time users should familiarize themselves with using the elliptical by using the Stationary Handlebar first and then progressing to the Dual Action Handles.

  • Page 35 Overload This is where you exercise at a level above that which can be carried out comfortably.

As your fitness level improves, so the training threshold should be raised.
  • Page 36 Pulse Count The pulse count(on your wrist or carotid artery in the neck, taken with two index fingers)is done for ten seconds, taken a few seconds after you stop exercising. This is for two reasons: (a) 10 seconds is long enough for accuracy, (b) the pulse count is to approximate your BPM rate at the time you are exercising.
  • Page 37 What to Wear Wear clothing that will not restrict your movement in any way while exercising. Clothes should be light enough to allow the body to cool. Excessive clothing that causes you to perspire more than you normally would while exercising, gives you no advantage. The extra weight you lose is body fluid and will be replaced with the next glass of water you drink.

  • Page 38: Stretching

Movements should be performed slowly and smoothly, with no bouncing or jerking. Move into the stretch until slight tension, not pain, is felt in the muscle and hold for 20-30 seconds.
