LEVELING
The treadmill should be level for optimum use. Once you have placed
the treadmill where you intend to use it, raise or lower the adjustable
levelers located on the treadmill base frame. Once you have leveled
the treadmill, lock the levelers in place by tightening the nuts against
the frame. To assure the treadmill is level, a carpenter's level is
recommended.
TURN POWER ON
Make sure that your treadmill is properly connected to a power outlet.
The on/off switch is located next to the power cord. Flip this switch to the
'on' position, so that the switch is lit. You will hear a beep and the console
will light up.
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
exercise 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
position 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 stretching. Sit upright again. Repeat for a total of 8 repetitions.
