A Total Fitness Program is more than exercise and more than eating right. It is a “fitness
for life” plan that goes hand in hand with an overall healthy lifestyle. This includes 
regular check-ups and exercise, now and for the rest of your life.

Your total fitness program consists of three parts:

• Aerobic exercise to burn calories.

• Strength conditioning exercises to tone and shape your muscles,

increase your metabolic rate, and strengthen your bones.

• A diet that is safe, sensible and healthy. (Refer to your Eating Plan Booklet)

Today, all fitness research recommends both aerobic exercise and strength conditioning
to achieve balanced fitness. By improving your aerobic fitness you will strengthen 
your heart and lungs, increase your stamina and endurance, and help with weight 
loss. Strength conditioning adds lean muscle to your body, increasing your body’s
metabolism. In this process, your body burns more calories, even while you rest. 
When you combine aerobic workouts with strength conditioning, as you will with 
your Gazelle, you can burn more fat and calories than with just aerobic exercise alone.

The Gazelle workout will help with the first two parts of your Total Fitness Program, 
but you need to make healthy, low-fat eating a big priority as well.

Consult with your physician

about an eating plan that’s right for you. Healthy

eating habits and exercise will help you reach your goal. We recommend that you 
follow dietary guidelines approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the 
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
