    CHAPTER 5: O verlay escription nGineerinG 5.4 WORKOUT TIPS Matrix Fitness strongly recommends seeing your physician for a complete physical examination before beginning any fitness program. Know your physician-recommended heart rate target zone. If, at any time while exercising, you experiences faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of breathe, you must stop immediately. To mount the elliptical trainer, grasp the front stationary handlebars and place your feet on the pedals. When you are comfortably situated, begin pedaling. To dismount the elliptical trainer, stop pedaling, grasp the front stationary handlebars and get off the unit. It is highly recommended that you always incorporate the warm-up and cool-down period into your workout. Warm-up brings the heart rate into the lower end of the target zone and increases respiration and blood flow to working muscles. Cool-down takes time for a user’s heart rate to return to a resting state after vigorous exercise and reduces the amount of lactic acid in muscle tissue. 5.5 WORKOUT SETUP STEPS Different elliptical trainer workouts require different setup procedure. This section provides details for settling up any workout program. Begin to pedal the elliptical trainer.
