USING YOUR ELLIPTICAL BIKE

Using your elliptical bike will provide you with several benefits. It will improve your physical fitness, tone your

muscles and in conjunction with a calorie controlled diet, help you lose weight.


WARM-UP PHASE

The purpose of warming up is to prepare your body for exercise and to minimize injuries. Warm up for two to

five minutes before strength-training or aerobic exercising. Perform activities that raise your heart rate and

warm the working muscles. Activities may include brisk walking, jogging, jumping jacks, jump rope, and

running in place.

STRETCHING

Stretching while your muscles are warm after a proper warm-up and again after your strength or aerobic

training session is very important. Muscles stretch more easily at these times because of their elevated

temperature, which greatly reduces the risk of injury. Stretches should be held for 15 to 30 seconds.

DO NOT BOUNCE.

Remember always to check with your physician before starting any exercise program.




COOL-DOWN PHASE

The purpose of cooling down is to return the body to its normal or near normal, resting state at the end of

each exercise session. A proper cool-down slowly lowers your heart rate and allows blood to return to the

heart.
