4.2 WORKOUT TIPS
WORKOUT TIPS
* Vision Fitness strongly recommends seeing a physician for a complete medical exam before undertaking an exercise program. If at any time
while exercising, the user experiences faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of breath, he or she must top immediately.
* Without anyone standing on the treadmill, plug the power cord into a dedicated electrical outlet.
* The On / Off switch for the treadmill is located next to the power supply plug in. Turn the switch to the on position to activate the treadmill.
* To mount or dismount the treadmill, grasp the stationary side handrails and place your feet firmly on the right and left side platforms before the
running belt begins moving. Prior to the workout, please always attach the security clip to your clothing.
* When you are comfortable situated onto the running belt, the computerized display console on the treadmill instructs you how to operate the
unit.
* The best position to walk on the treadmill is to have your arms bent lightly and your hands grasping the HR handlebar (See below illustration).
At a running speed, your feet should be in a position so that when you swing your arms on a natural swing, they do not touch the front handrail.
* Hold onto the handrail with one hand while you increase speed with the other. Once you are comfortable with the walking or running speed,
you can remove your hands from the rail.
* Do not attempt to grasp the HR sensors at speeds above 4.5 MPH (7.2 KPH). For these speeds, the use of a HR strap is recommended.
* It is highly recommended that you always incorporate the warm up and cool down period into your workout. Warm up brings the heart rate
into the lower end of the target zone and increases respiration and blood flow to working muscles. Cool down takes time for a user's heart rate
to return to a resting state after rigourous exercise and reduces the amount of lactic acid in muscle tissue.
