Horizon Fitness Express SERIES Home Gym User Manual


 
An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine
your goals. Is your primary goal for exercising on your Horizon Fitness upright
bike 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 week-
ly segments. Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation bene-
fits. Short term goals are easier to achieve. Your Horizon Fitness upright bike con-
sole 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.
