EASING INTO YOUR REBEL TREADMILL 1000

Okay, now your Rebel Treadmill 1000 is plugged in and ready to be used safely. We know
that you are excited to get walking. To maximize your experience, it is best to ease into a
walking routine.
Regardless of your fitness level, walking on your Rebel Treadmill 1000 involves using
your muscles in new ways.
It is recommended that on the first day you walk for 15-minute intervals twice during the
day. Try to space out the 15-minute intervals by a few hours. So on the first day, you would
walk for a total of 30 minutes.
On the next day, it is recommended that you add 5 minutes to each interval of walking. So
you would walk for 20 minutes twice during the day for a total of 40 minutes.
You may continue to add 5-minute intervals each day. You also may add more or less time
depending on your fitness and comfort level. At some point you will hit your peak usage
and that time varies for each person.
Most people walk between 0.8 and 1.5 mph. It is a good idea to vary the speed at which
you walk to give your muscles more variation in movement.
If your muscles feel tight after walking, you may want to establish a stretching routine or
use a foam or stick roller to help loosen the muscles.
Finally, to avoid repetitive motion and other muscle strains, make sure that you have
proper ergonomic alignment at your treadmill desk.
