BEFORE STARTING THIS OR ANY OTHER EXERCISE PROGRAM,

CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN

, who can assist you in determining the target

heart rate zone appropriate for your age and physical condition. Certain
exercises, programs or types of equipment may not be appropriate for 
all people. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35,
pregnant women, or those with pre-existing health problems or 
balance impairments.

START OUT SLOWLY AND PROGRESS SENSIBLY.

Progress at a pace that

is comfortable for you.

MONITOR YOUR HEART RATE WHILE YOU EXERCISE AND KEEP YOUR

PULSE RATE WITHIN YOUR TARGET HEART RATE ZONE.

Follow the 

instructions on page 7 in this manual regarding heart rate monitoring 
and determining your appropriate target heart rate zone.

DO NOT OVER EXERT YOURSELF WITH THIS OR ANY OTHER EXERCISE

PROGRAM.

Listen to your body and respond to any reactions you may be

having. You must distinguish “good” pain, like fatigue, from “bad” pain,
which hurts. If you experience any pain or tightness in your chest, an
irregular heartbeat or shortness of breath, stop exercising immediately.
Consult your physician before continuing.

USE CARE WHEN STEPPING ON AND OFF EQUIPMENT.

Set up and use

your Gazelle Edge on a solid, level, carpeted surface. Follow the instruc-
tions on page 8 in this manual for proper entry and exit techniques.

HAVE PLENTY OF CLEARANCE BEHIND AND IN FRONT OF YOUR GAZELLE

EDGE™.

It is important to keep children, pets, furniture and other objects

out of the way of the swinging foot platforms. You should have a mini-
mum of 3 feet of clearance both in front of and behind your Gazelle Edge.

WEAR APPROPRIATE CLOTHING WHEN EXERCISING.

Workout clothing

should be comfortable and lightweight. Wear athletic shoes, such as 
running or aerobic shoes. Do not use this product with bare feet.

GAZELLE EDGE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY CHILDREN.

Keep this and

all fitness equipment out of the reach of children.
