STRETCH FIRST

Before using your Horizon Fitness product, it is best to take a few minutes doing a few

gentle stretching exercises. Stretching prior to exercise will improve flexibility and reduce

chances of exercise related injury. Ease into each of these stretches with a slow gentle

motion. Do not stretch to the point of pain. Make sure not to bounce while doing these

stretches.

WALL PUSH

Stand near a wall with the toes of one foot about 18" from the wall, and the other foot

about 12" behind the other foot. Lean forward, pushing against the wall with your

palms. Keep your heels flat and hold this position for a count of 15 seconds. Make sure

that you do not bounce while stretching. Alternate positions of your feet and repeat for

a total of 8 repetitions.

STANDING QUADRICEPS STRETCH

Using a wall to provide balance, grasp your left ankle with your left hand and hold your

foot against the back of your thigh for a count of 15 seconds. Repeat with your right

ankle and hand, and continue alternating for a total of 8 repetitions.

SEATED TOE TOUCH

Sit on the floor with your legs together and straight out in front of you. Do not lock your

knees. Extend your fingers towards your toes and hold for a count of 15 seconds. Make

sure that you do not bounce while stretching. Sit upright again. Repeat for a total of 8

repetitions.

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 Horizon Fitness product at a slow pace.

COOL DOWN

Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period 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.
