EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS
Most people are anxious to get started, we sugget that you get checked out by your family physician
before entering into any strenuous exercise program especially if you have been inactive for some time.
No matter what your level of fitness we still suggest you start your exercise program on your new
treadmill slowly.
Straddle the walking deck standing on the specially made rubbersafety surface, attach the safety cord
to your clothing then press start to activate the treadmill motor the treadmill will count down and start
slowly. Take hold of the hand rails and step on to the moving belt. Make sure you are confortable , keep
your eyes facing towards(don’t look down at your feet)We suggest you increase the speed to a walking
pace that suits your natural walking speed this would be approx 5-6kph, after 5 minutes stop the
treadmill get off and complete several stretching movements especially for the calf, leg bicep and
quadriceps. Re straddle the treadmill start the treadmill up, start walking then move speed up to a
comfortable jog, you should be able to jog and still talk without effort if you are getting out of breath, you
are going to back to a walking pace, slow down and continue to jog for 10-15 minute increase the
incline by one increment , do this for 5 minutes, then decrease the incline in increments of one until you
are level again; continue to walk for another 5 minutes at a slower walking pace. You have now finished
your first workout. At this slow walking pace to stop just press the stop button and the treadmill will slow
down and stop.

exercise for a minimium of 30 minutes 3 times per week.
