2. The exercise phase

This stage demands the most training effort. Correct workouts will support your leg muscles becoming
more exible – however, it is important to maintain a steady workout speed throughout the complete
workout session. As a guideline you can check your heart rate – it should be in the target heart rate
zone as shown in the illustration below.

minutes per session.

3. The cool-down phase

This stage helps to soothe your muscles and your cardiovascular system after your workout.
At the end of your workout, reduce the speed and exercise for approximately 5 minutes at this lower-
speed level. Afterwards, repeat the warm-up exercises as described above.
It is recommended to exercise for at least 3 times a week – you should be aware, that you need to exer-
cise harder and longer if you get tter. Spread your workouts evenly throughout the week.
Muscle toning
To reach a noticeable muscle toning with your device, it is necessary to set the resistance quite high.
With this, your leg muscles need to work harder during the exercise – however, this may cause you to
break up your exercise earlier. If you want to improve your tness level as well, you need to modify your
exercise program in this way, that you train on a moderate level for the rst minutes – the more you
reach the end of your exercise phase, increase the resistance setting to cause your leg muscles work
harder. Reduce the speed at the same time in order to keep your heart rate within the target zone.
Weight loss
To lose weight, you need to work out comparatively hard. The longer your workout lasts, the more
calories will be burned. It is almost the same way of exercise as if you want to improve your tness level.
