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. We use the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises. Unlike older, louder technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these sounds on our elliptical trainers.
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 maintain cardiovascular fitness. If you have other goats such as weight or fat loss, you wil! achieve your goal faster with more frequent exercise. Whether it's 3 days or 6 days, remember that your ultimate goal should be to make exercise a lifetime habit.
WHAT KIND OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED? We use sealed bearings throughout our ellipticaIs 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 ELLIPTICAL TRAINER? FITNESS Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts.
HOW HARD? How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your Horizon Fitness 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. Aerobic exercise does not have to be painful to be beneficial! There are two ways to measure your exercise intensity.
STRETCH FIRST Before using your Horizon Fitness product, it is best to take a few minutes doing a few gentle stretching exerdses. Stretching prior to exercise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise related injury. Ease into each of these stretches with a slow gentle motion. Do not stretch to the point of pain. Make sure not to bounce while doing these stretches.
