28 WHA T KIND OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED? W e use sealed bearings throughout our ellipticals so lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the trainer after each use. HOW DO I CLEAN MY HORIZON FITNESS ELLIPTICAL TRAINER? Clean with soap and water cleaners only .
29 Y our Horizon Fitness elliptical is designed to be reliable and maintenance free. However , if you do experience problems with your elliptical, please reference the troubleshooting guide listed below .
30 PROBLEM: Erratic or Inconsistent Readout. SOLUTION: This is often caused by dry electrodes or a loose chest strap. (4.1E) Moisture on the rub- ber electrodes is required for proper operation. T ry a more generous coating of water on the elec- trodes and tightening the chest strap.
31 ARE THE SOUNDS MY ELLIPTICAL TRAINER MAKES NORMAL? Our elliptical trainers are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic resistance.
32 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 main- tain cardiovascular fitness. If you have other goals such as weight or fat loss, you will achieve your goal faster with more frequent exercise.
33 HOW HARD? How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your elliptical trainer to prepare for a 5K run, you will probably work out at a higher intensity than if your goal is general fitness. Regardless of your long term goals, always begin an exercise program at low intensity .
34 FEEDBACK Y our elliptical trainer offers two heart rate feedback options. Y ou may choose to use the heart rate handlebars, or the chest transmitter for a hands free workout. HEART RA TE HANDLEBAR Place the palm of your hands directly on the heart rate handlebars.
35 T ARGET HEART RA TE ZONE Y our ‘T arget Heart Rate Zone’ is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. T arget Zones will vary for each individual, depending on age, current level of conditioning, and personal fitness goals.
STRETCH FIRST Before using your Horizon Fitness product, it is best to take a few minutes doing a few gentle stretch- ing exercises. Stretching prior to exercise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise relat- ed injury . Ease into each of these stretches with a slow gentle motion.
37 Warm Up & Cool Down THE IMPORT ANCE OF WARM UP AND COOL DOWN W ARM UP The first 2 to 5 minutes of a workout should be devoted to warming up. The warm-up will limber your muscles and prepare them for more strenuous exercise. Make sure that you warm-up on your Horizon Fitness product at a slow pace.
An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your pri- mary goal for exercising on your elliptical trainer to lose weight? Improve muscle? Burn Stress? Prepare for the spring racing schedule? Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise program.
