TREADMILL OPERATION HOW HARD? (Intensity of Workouts) CONDITIONING GUIDELINES How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your treadmill 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. Aerobic exercise does not have to be painful to be beneficial! There are two ways to measure your exercise intensity.
ASSEMBLY 1. STANDING CALVE MUSCLE STRETCH BEFORE YOU BEGIN Stand near a wall with the toes of your left foot about 18" from the wall, and the right foot about 12" behind the other foot. Lean forward, pushing against the wall with your palms. Keep your heels flat and hold this position for a count of 15 seconds. Make sure that you do not bounce while stretching. Repeat on the other side. INTRODUCTION IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS WARM UP The first 2 to 5 minutes of a workout should be devoted to warming up.
