tightened. If the assembly instructions are not followed correctly, the elliptical

An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine
your goals. Is your primary goal for exercising on your Horizon Fitness Elliptical
Trainer to lose weight? Improve muscle? Burn Stress? Prepare for the spring rac-
ing schedule? Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more suc-
cessful exercise program. Below are some common exercise goals:
If possible try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms, and then
put your goals in writing. The more specific you can be, the easier it will be to track
your progress. If your goals are long term, divide them up into monthly and week-
ly segments. Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation bene-
fits. Short term goals are easier to achieve. Your Horizon Fitness Elliptical Trainer
console provides you with several readouts that can be used to record your
progress. You can track Distance, Calories or Time. Time is the most important
and useful of test functions.
