3. The Cool Down Phase
This stage lets your Cardio-vascular System and muscles wind down. This is a repeat of the warm
up exercise e.g. reduce your tempo, continue for approximately 5 minutes. The stretching exercises
should now be repeated, again remembering not to force your muscles into the stretch.
As you get fitter you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least three times
a week, and if possible space your workouts evenly throughout the week.
MUSCLE TONING
To tone muscle while on your
MAGNETIC UPRIGHT CYCLE
you will need to have the resistance
set quite high. This will put more strain on your leg muscles and may mean you cannot train for as
long as you would like. If you are also trying to improve your fitness you need to alter your training
program. You should train as normal during the warm up and cool down phases, but towards the
end of the exercise phase you should increase resistance making your legs work harder. You will
have to reduce your speed to keep your heart rate in the target zone.
WEIGHT LOSS
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work
the more calories you will burn. Effectively this is the same as if you were training to
improve your fitness, the difference is the goal.
