Workout Phases
Regardless of whether you are working out with your Leg Trainer exerciser or doing a cardio workout, your
workout should consist of the following. three phases.
Warm up
To prevent injury and maximize performance, we recommend that each workout period should start with
a warm-up. Your warm-up should gently prepare your muscles for the coming exertion. Start by doing 5 to
10 minutes of gentle exercise (such as walking) that gradually increases your heart rate and loosens up your
muscles. Your warm-up exercise should be aerobic in nature and only require an easy, unforced range of
motion. This should be followed by 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Refer to the stretches of this manual.
Never push yourself beyond a point of gentle tension on muscles being stretched. Keep your movements
gentle, rhythmic and controlled.
Muscle Toning or Cardio Workout
Your warm-up should be followed by either a muscle toning workout with the Leg Trainer exerciser or a
cardio workout, depending on your workout plan for that day. Regardless of which type of workout you are
doing. Build up as your current fitness level allows and progress at a rate that is comfortable to you.
For the first week or so, you may feel some muscle soreness. This is quite normal and should disappear in a
matter of days. If you experience major discomfort, you may be on a regimen that is too advanced for you
or you may have increased your program too rapidly.
