DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAM
Stretch First
Before using your Horizon Fitness product, it is best to take a few
minutes doing a few gentle stretching exercises. Stretching prior to exer-
cise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise related injury.
Ease into each of these stretches with a slow gentle motion. Do not
stretch to the point of pain. Make sure not to bounce while doing these
stretches.
Wall Push
Stand near a wall with the toes of one foot about 18" from the wall, and
the other foot about 12" behind the other foot. Lean forward, pushing
against the wall with your palms. Keep your heels flat and hold this posi-
tion for a count of 15 seconds. Make sure that you do not bounce while
stretching. Alternate positions of your feet and repeat for a total of 8
repetitions.
Standing Quadriceps Stretch
Using a wall to provide balance, grasp your left ankle with your left hand
and hold your foot against the back of your thigh for a count of 15
seconds. Repeat with your right ankle and hand, and continue alternating
for a total of 8 repetitions.
Seated Toe Touch
Sit on the floor with your legs together and straight out in front of you. Do
not lock your knees. Extend your fingers towards your toes and hold for
a count of 15 seconds. Make sure that you do not bounce while stretch-
ing. Sit upright again. Repeat for a total of 8 repetitions.
