BEFORE GETTING STARTED
It is always important to consult a physician for a complete physical examination before starting any
exercise program. Beyond identifying any risk factors you may have, your health professional can assist
you in developing an exercise program which establishes the frequency and intensity appropriate for
your age and current health status.
The
g•force RT digital
is an excellent choice for overweight or severely deconditioned individuals in
that it provides more seat adjustability and the lowest pedaling requirement of all other fi tness recum-
bents. However, if you consider yourself such an individual, you should still exercise caution when using
this equipment for the fi rst time. Overexertion or the possibility of injury exists when starting any new
exercise program.
CAUTION: If at any time during a workout, you experience pain or tightness in the chest,
an irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, feel faint or severe discomfort of any kind,
STOP exercising immediately. Consult your physician before continuing your program.
