during the return stroke; never hold your breath. Rest
for 3 minutes after each set if you are doing a muscle
building workout, 1 minute after each set if you are
doing a toning workout, and 30 seconds after each
set if you are doing 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—do not bounce. Ease into each
stretch gradually and go only as far as you can with-
out 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
