Times a week, 30 minutes at a Time� Increase the number of exercise 
sessions to improve your fitness level� It is worthwhile to combine

should exercise daily, at first 30 minutes or less at a Time, gradually 
increasing the daily workout Time to one hour� Start your workout at

gradually� The efficiency of your exercise can be measured by 
monitoring your heart rate and your pulse rate�

HEART RATE

TARGET ZONE

This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes though most 
people start at about 15-20 minutes

The cool down phase

This stage is to let your Cardiovascular System and muscles wind 
down� This is a repeat of the warm up exercise e�g� reduce your 
tempo, continue for approximately 5 minutes� The stretching 
exercises should now be repeated, again remembering not to force 
or jerk your muscles into the stretch�  
As you get fitter you may need to train longer and harder� It is 
advisable to train at least three Times a week, and if possible space 
your workouts evenly throughout the week�

Muscle toning

To tone muscle while on your fitness trainer you will need to have the 
resistance set quite high� This will put more strain on our leg muscles 
and may mean you cannot train for as long as you would like� If you 
are also trying to improve your fitness you need to alter your training 
program� You should train as normal during the warm up and cool 
down phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase you should 
increase resistance making your legs work harder� You will have to 
reduce your speed to keep your heart rate in the target zone�

Weight loss

The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in� The 
harder and longer you work the more Calorie you will burn� Effectively 
this is the same as if you were training to improve your fitness, the 
difference is the goal�
