EXERCISE GUIDELINES

IMPORTANT:

If you are over 35 and have been inactive for
several years, you should consult your physician,
who may or may not recommend a graded
exercise test. Your physician can also assist you
in determining the Target Heart Rate Zone
appropriate for your age and physical condition.

You should also consult your physician if you
have the following:

High blood pressure

High cholesterol

Asthma

Heart trouble

Family history of early stroke or
heart attack deaths

Frequent dizzy spells

Extreme breathlessness after mild exertion

Arthritis or other bone problems

Severe muscular, ligament or
tendon problems

Other known or suspected disease

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.

Pregnant

Balance impairment

Taking medications that affect heart rate

IMPORTANT

Please review this section before you begin exercising.

Workout Phases

Regardless of whether you are working out with your
Leg Magic

®

Pulse 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 found on pages 14
and 15 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 Magic

®

Pulse 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.

Cool Down and Stretching

Your workout should be followed by a cool down. The
cool down should consist of 5 to 10 minutes of easy
exercise, followed by stretching. Refer to the stretches
found on pages 14 and 15 of this manual. Never push
yourself beyond a point of gentle tension on the
muscles being stretched. Keep your movements
relaxed, rhythmic and controlled.

PUSH-UP

This exercise targets the muscles of the chest, shoulders

and backs of the upper arms. Begin in a kneeling position

on the floor in front of your Leg Magic

®

Pulse exerciser.

Make sure you have plenty of clearance between yourself

and the Leg Magic

®

Pulse exerciser. Walk the hands

forward slightly into a push-up position and lift the toes

off of the floor. See FIG. 31. Slowly bend the arms,

lowering the torso down toward the floor. Keep your back

straight and the abdominal muscles contracted throughout

the motion. See FIG. 32. Pause at the bottom of the motion.

Then, extend the arms and push back up to the starting

position. Do not let the lower back arch or “sag” at any

time. Keep the neck straight while lowering and pushing

up. Repeat this exercise for 60 seconds, resting between

repetitions if needed.
