Achieving Your Fitness Goals; Folding; Moving - Horizon Fitness Paragon II HRC Owner's Manual

A C H I E V I N G Y O U R
An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is
your primary goal for exercising on your Horizon Fitness Treadmill 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. Below are some common exer-
c i s e g o a l s :
• W eight Loss
• Improve Body Shape and Tone
• Increased Energy Level
• Improved Sports Performance
• Improved Cardiovascular Endurance
If possible try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms, and then put your
goals in writing. The more specific you can be, the easier it will be to track your progress.
If your goals are long term, divide them up into monthly and weekly segments. Longer
term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation benefits. Short term goals are
easier to achieve. Your Horizon Fitness Treadmill console provides you with several readouts
that can be used to record your progress. You can track Distance, Calories or Time. Time is
the most important and useful of test functions.
KEEPING AN EXERCISE DAIRY
Photocopy the weekly and monthly log sheets on the following pages to make your per-
sonal exercise log book. As time goes by you'll be able to look back with pride at the work
you've done. As your fitness improves, you can look back and see how far you've come.
