NordicTrack NTBE06900 User Manual page 14

Make sure to rest for a short period of time after each
set. The ideal resting periods are:
¥ Rest for three minutes after each set for a muscle
building workout.
¥ Rest for one minute after each set for a toning work-
out.
¥ Rest for 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss
workout.
Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarizing
yourself with the equipment and learning the proper
form for each exercise.
COOLING DOWN
End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move
slowly as you stretch and do not bounce. Ease into

each stretch gradually and go only as far as you can
without strain. Stretching at the end of each workout
is very effective for increasing flexibility.
STAYING MOTIVATED
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. The
chart on page 15 of this manual can be photocopied
and used to schedule and record your workouts. List
the date, the exercises performed, the weight plus the
numbers of sets and repetitions completed. Record
your weight and key body measurements at the end
of every month.
Remember, the key to achieving the greatest results
is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of
your everyday life.
