Always consult your physician before beginning an exercise program.
HOW OFTEN?
The American Heart Association recommends that you exercise at least 3 to 4 days per
week to maintain cardiovascular fitness. If you have other goals such as weight or fat
loss, you will achieve your goal faster with more frequent exercise. Whether It's 3 days or
6 days, remember that your ultimate goal should be to make exercise a lifetime habit.
Many people are successful staying with a fitness program if they set aside a specific time
of day to exercise. It doesn't matter whether it's in the morning before your shower,
during your lunch hour or while watching the evening news. What's more important is
that it's a time that allows you to keep a schedule, and a time when you won't be
interrupted. If you are to be successful with your fitness program, you have to make it a
priority in your life. So decide on a time, pull out your day planner and pencil in your
exercise times for the next month!
HOW LONG?
For aerobic exercise benefits, it's recommended that you exercise from between 24 and
32 minutes per session. But start slowly and gradually increase your exercise times. If
you've been sedentary during the past year, it may be a good idea to keep your exercise
times to as little as five minutes initially. Your body will need time to adjust to the new
activity. If your goal is weight loss, a longer exercise session at lower intensities has been
found to be most effective. A workout time of 48 minutes or more is recommended for
best weight loss results.

ARE THE SOUNDS MY ELLIPTICAL MAKES NORMAL?
Our Elliptical Trainer are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and
friction free magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade bearings and belts to
minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will
occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises. Unlike older, louder technologies, there
are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these sounds on our Elliptical
Trainer. These mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal and
are caused by the transfer of significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning
flywheel. All bearings, belts and other rotating parts will generate some noise which will
transmit through the casing and frame. It is also normal for these sounds to change
slightly during a workout and over time because of thermal expansion of the parts.
WHY IS THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN THE ONE
AT THE STORE?
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally
more background noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a
carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will
help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a wall,
there will be more reflected noise.
HOW LONG WILL THE DRIVE BELT LAST?
The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of maintenance
free hours. Belts are now commonly used in far more demanding applications such as
motorcycle drives.
CAN I MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER EASIER ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED?
Your Horizon Fitness ELLiptical has a pair of transport wheels built into the front foot. It
is easy to move your ELLiptical by rolling it on the front transport wheels.
It is important that you place your Horizon Fitness ELLiptical in a comfortable and
inviting room. Your ELLiptical is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will
place their ELLiptical facing the TV or a picture window. If at all possible, avoid putting
your ELL! ptical in a unfinished basement. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for
you, the Elliptical Trainer should be in an attractive setting.
