WARM UP

The first 2 to 5 minutes of a workout should be devoted to warming up. The warm-up will limber your 

muscles and prepare them for more strenuous exercise. Make sure that you warm-up on your product at a 

slow pace. The warm up should gradually bring your heart rate into your Target Heart Rate Zone.

COOL DOWN

Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period of 3-5 minutes allows your heart to readjust to the 

decreased demand. Make sure that your cool down period consists of a very slow pace to allow your heart 

rate to lower. After the cool-down, repeat the stretching exercises listed above to loosen and relax your 

muscles.

An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your primary 

goal for exercising to lose weight? Improve muscle? Reduce stress? Prepare for the spring racing schedule? 

Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise program. Below are some 

common exercise goals:

• Weight Loss - lower intensity, longer duration workouts

• Improve Body Shape and Tone - interval workouts, alternate between hi and low intensities

• Increased Energy Level - more frequent daily workouts

• Improved Sports Performance - high intensity workouts

• Improved Cardiovascular Endurance - moderate intensity, longer duration workouts

If possible try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms, and then put your goals in writing. 

The more specific you can be, the easier it will be to track your progress. If your goals are long term, divide 

them up into monthly and weekly segments. Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation 

benefits. Short term goals are easier to achieve. Your console provides you with several readouts that can 

be used to record your progress. You can track Distance, Calories or Time.
