USING YOUR ELLIPTICAL BIKE
Using your Elliptical will provide you with several benefits. It will improve your physical fitness, tone your
muscles and in conjunction with a calorie controlled diet, help you lose weight.
WARM-UP PHASE
The purpose of warming up is to prepare your body for exercise and to minimize injuries. Warm up for
two to five minutes before strength-training or aerobic exercising. Perform activities that raise your
heart rate and warm the working muscles. Activities may include brisk walking, jogging, jumping jacks,
jump rope, and running in place.
STRETCHING
Stretching while your muscles are warm after a proper warm-up and again after your strength or aerobic
training session is very important. Muscles stretch more easily at these times because of their elevated
temperature, which greatly reduces the risk of injury. Stretches should be held for 15 to 30 seconds.
DO
NOT BOUNCE.
Remember always
to check with your physician before starting any exercise program.
