mended that the elliptical trainer is warmed up to room temperature before first time use. Failure to
do so may cause premature electronic failure.

TIPS
An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your
primary goal for exercising on your elliptical trainer to lose weight? Improve muscle? Burn 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:
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 elliptical trainer console
provides you with several readouts that can be used to record your progress. You can track Distance,
Calories or Time. Time is the most important and useful of test functions.
KEEPING AN EXERCISE DIARY
Photocopy the weekly and monthly log sheets on the following pages to make your personal exer-
cise log book. As time goes by youíll be able to look back with pride at the work youíve done. As
your fitness improves, you can look back and see how far youíve come.
