If you are just starting an exercise program, choose a time of day that’s

good for you and then stick closely to it. Try to do your Gazelle Edge™ 
workout three times per week at first, and then gradually progress to four
or five days a week. Choose a time when you feel energetic, when there 
are few interruptions, and when you have not eaten a heavy meal for 
approximately two hours.

MOTIVATIONAL TIPS:

Keep your motivation and interest high by remembering these simple tips:

• Set Goals For Yourself

that are challenging but realistic. Remember,

it may take a few weeks to be able to complete the entire workout
easily, or to see changes in your weight or fitness level. Just five 
minutes of exercise, done several times per day, can change your
health. Break your overall goals down into small, measurable steps.

• Record Your Progress

by using the charts provided at the end of 

this booklet.

• Celebrate Your Successes

- even the small ones! Give yourself 

incentives for reaching each of your goals, and reward yourself often.

• Take Setbacks In Stride.

If you miss a day on your schedule (or even a

week), it’s not too late to get back on track. If you are having trouble
sticking to your goals, review them and make sure they are realistic.
Make adjustments as you think they are needed.

YOUR WORKOUT WILL CONSIST OF THREE PHASES:

Warm-Up

Stretching exercises are always important to do before beginning an

exercise program. We suggest that you do stretching exercises for your
calves, hamstrings, hip flexors, triceps, shoulders, quads and back.

To prevent injury and maximize performance, we recommend that you

begin each workout with at least three minutes of exercise that gradually
increases your heart rate and warms up your muscles. You can do this by
practicing all of the basic Gazelle Edge movements at a slow tempo and
easy range of motion.

Aerobic and Muscle Toning Workout

To gain the health and fitness benefits that you seek, the warm-up

should be followed by 15 to 20 minutes of Gazelle Edge gliding exercises.
Build up to this amount as your current fitness level allows, and progress
at a rate that is comfortable to you. As your fitness level increases you may
want to gradually increase the length of your workouts to a total of 30
minutes per day. Start with 2 or 3 workouts per week. If losing weight is
one of your goals, you may want to gradually increase your workouts to 
5 or 6 days per week. More frequent workouts and longer durations require
the body to burn more calories and use stored fat for energy.
