Tailor your exercise program according to your physical condition. If you have been inactive for several
years, or are overweight, you must start slowly and increase your time on the equipment; a few minutes per
workout increase is advisable.
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.
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.
• Monitor your pulse frequently. Establish your target heart rate based on your age and condition.
• Set up your equipment on a flat even surface with adequate training area, as prescribed in this manual.
Exercise intensity
To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important to exercise at an appropriate intensity. The 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 65% 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.

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, 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
required level.
