How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for
several years, or are severely overweight, you must slowly and increase your time on the 2 in 1 Elliptical /
Stepper gradually: a few minutes per workout.
Initially, you may be able to exercise only for a few minutes in your target zone, however, your aerobic fitness
will improve over the next six to eight weeks. Don’t be discouraged if it takes longer. It’s important to work at
your own pace. Ultimately, you’ll be able to exercise continuously for 30 minutes. The better your aerobic
fitness, the harder you will have to work to stay in your target zone. Please remember these essentials:
․
Have your doctor review your training and diet programs to advise you of a workout routine you should
adopt.
․
Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your doctor.
․
Monitor your pulse frequently. Establish your target heart rate base on your age and condition.
․
Set up your 2 in 1 Elliptical / Stepper a flat, even surface at least 3 feet from walls and furniture.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensity
level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should
be maintained at a level between 70% and 85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise. This is known as
your target zone. You can find your target zone in the table below. Target zones are listed for both
unconditioned and conditioned persons according to age.
During the first few months of your exercise
program, keep your heart rate near the low end of
your target zone as you exercise. After a few
months, your heart rate can be increased
gradually until it is near the middle of your target
zone as you exercise.
To measure your
heart rate
manually, stop
exercising but
continue moving
your legs or
walking around and place two fingers on your wrist. Take a six-second heartbeat count and multiply the results
by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140
beats per minute. (A six-second count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop
exercising.) Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is at the proper level.
