MOVING
Your Horizon Fitness elliptical trainer has a pair of transport wheels built into the
front of the frame. To move, firmly grasp the back end of the frame for the Esc4
and console mast for Esc3 and 2. Using the transport grips on the Esc4 and the
console mast on the Esc3 and Esc2, carefully lift and roll.
CAUTION!
Our elliptical trainers are well built and heavy, weighing up to
200lbs.! Use care and additional help if necessary when moving.
FOOT POSITION
When using your elliptical trainer, you may notice that your heel raises off of the
foot pad. This is a natural walking or running motion and you should not try to
prevent this.
HOW HARD?
How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your Horizon
Fitness Elliptical Trainer to prepare for a 5K run, you will probably work out at a
higher intensity than if your goal is general fitness. Regardless of your long term
goals, always begin an exercise program at low intensity. Aerobic exercise does
not have to be painful to be beneficial! There are two ways to measure your exer-
cise intensity. The first is by monitoring your heart rate (see page 20), and the sec-
ond is by evaluating your perceived exertion level (this is simpler than it sounds!).
Note: Always consult your physician before beginning an exercise program.
PERCEIVED EXERTION LEVEL
The second and simpler way to gauge your exercise intensity is to evaluate your
perceived exertion level. While exercising if you are too winded to maintain a con-
versation without gasping, you are working out too hard. A good rule of thumb is
to work to the point of exhilaration, not exhaustion. If you cannot catch your
breath, it’s time to slow down. Always be aware of other warning signs of overex-
ertion.
