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.
E X E R C I S E G U I D E L I N E S 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.
Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts. Cleanliness of your elliptical trainer and its operating environment will keep maintenance problems and service calls to a minimum. For this reason, Horizon Fitness recommends that the following pre- ventive maintenance schedule be followed.
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.
D E V E L O P I N G A F I T N E S S P R O G R A M 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 related injury.
F O O T P O S I T I O N I N G Your elliptical trainer offers a variety of foot positions. Moving your foot to the forward most posi- tion of the foot pad increases your step height, which will create a feel similar to a step machine.
An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your primary 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.
LABOR - 1 YEAR Horizon Fitness shall cover the labor cost for the repair of the device for a period of one year from the date of the original purchase, so long as the device remains in the possession of the original owner.
