BEFORE STARTING THIS OR ANY OTHER EXERCISE PROGRAM, CONSULT
YOUR PHYSICIAN,
who should assist you in determining the target heart rate zone
appropriate for your age and physical condition. Certain exercises, programs or types
of equipment may not be appropriate for all people. This is especially important for
persons over the age of 35, pregnant women, or those with pre-existing health
problems or balance impairments.
START OUT SLOWLY AND PROGRESS SENSIBLY.
Progress at a pace that is
comfortable for you. For best results, perform all of the exercises at the tempo
demonstrated in the videos.
MONITOR YOUR HEART RATE WHILE YOU EXERCISE AND KEEP YOUR
ESTIMATED PULSE RATE WITHIN YOUR TARGET HEART RATE ZONE.
Follow
the instructions on page 10 in this manual regarding heart rate monitoring and how
to determine your appropriate target heart rate zone. When used properly, the heart
rate pulse sensors and display monitor provide a reasonably accurate estimate of your
actual heart rate. This estimate is not exact and persons with medical conditions,
and/or a specific need for accurate heart rate monitoring, should not rely on the
estimations provided.
DO NOT OVER EXERT YOURSELF WITH THIS OR ANY OTHER EXERCISE
PROGRAM.
Listen to your body and respond to any reactions you may be having.
You must distinguish “good” pain, like fatigue, from “bad” pain, which hurts. If you
experience any pain or tightness in your chest, an irregular heartbeat or shortness of
breath, stop exercising immediately. Consult your physician before continuing.
USE CARE WHEN STEPPING ON AND OFF EQUIPMENT.
Set up and use your unit on a solid, level, carpeted surface. Follow the instructions
demonstrated in your video and on page 11 in this manual for proper entry and exit
techniques.
THIS EQUIPMENT IS NOT FOR USE BY CHILDREN. To prevent injuries,
keep this and all fitness equipment out of the reach of children.
