ACHIEVING YOUR FITNESS GOALS
An important step in developing a long-term fitness program is to
determine your goals. Is your primary goal for exercising on your VISION
FITNESS Product to lose weight? Improve muscle tone? Relieve stress?
Prepare for the spring racing schedule? Knowing what your goals are will
help you develop a more successful exercise program. Below are some
common exercise goals:
•Weight Loss & Maintenance
•Improved Body Shape & Tone
•Increased Energy Level
•Improved Cycling/Cross Sports Performance
•Improved Cardiovascular Endurance
•Stress Reduction
•Improved Sleep Patterns
•Improved muscular strength
If possible, try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms,
and then put your goals in writing. The more specific you can be, the
easier it will be to track your progress. If your goals are long-term, divide
them up into monthly and weekly segments. Longer term goals can lose
some of the immediate motivation benefits. Short-term goals are easier to
achieve. Your VISION FITNESS Product console provides you with
several readouts that can be used to record your progress. You can track
Distance, Calories or Time. Time is the most important and useful of test
functions.
