General Aerobic Training Information
A workout on the Precor 904 Total Body Treadmill provides excellent and
efficient cardiovascular conditioning, while strengthening and toning the thighs,
calves, and hips. Darkened areas in Diagram 14 indicate the muscles that can
be improved.
To get the most out of each workout, a general understanding of the principles
behind aerobic training is invaluable. The best source of fitness information is
your specialty fitness dealer. In addition to providing information on which
exercise equipment is the best for your individual needs, your specialty fitness
retailer can provide useful advice on training, technique, and exercise physiol-
ogy. Your retailer can also recommend good books and videos on these
subjects.
To help you get started in planning and carrying out your fitness program, this
section provides some basic information on aerobic exercise—such as how
hard you should work out, how long each session should be, and how often
you need to exercise to benefit from a regular program.
