CAN I MOVE THE TRAINER EASILY ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED? Your elliptical trainer has a pair of transport wheels built into the front legs.

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- TIPS...
Conditioning Guidelines CAUTION Always consult your physician before beginning an exercise program. TIPS 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.
CAUTION Monitoring Your Heart Rate HEART RATE HANDLEBAR TIPS Place the palm of your hands directly on the heart rate handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate to register. When griping the handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure.
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.
Developing A Fitness Program STRETCH FIRST Before using your Horizon Fitness product, it is best to take a few minutes doing a few gentle stretching exercises. Stretching prior to exercise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exer- cise related injury. Ease into each of these stretches with a slow gentle motion. Do not stretch to the point of pain.
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.
