ACHIEVING YOUR FITNESS GOALS
An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to deter-
mine your goals. Is your primary goal for exercising on your Horizon
Fitness 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. Below are
some common exercise goals:
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 Horizon Fitness Elliptical Trainer console pro-
vides 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.
Keeping an exercise diary
Photocopy the weekly and monthly log sheets on the following pages
to make your personal exercise log book. As time goes by you’ll be
able to look back with pride at the work you’ve done. As your fitness
improves, you can look back and see how far you’ve come.
