Getting the Most Out of Your Workout
A workout on the M9.4 Electronic Treadmill Ergometer provides excellent and
efficient cardiovascular conditioning, while strengthening and toning all the
major muscle groups in the lower body. Darkened areas in Diagram 1 indicate
the muscles worked.
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 fitness dealer
can provide advice on training, technique, and exercise physiology. Your dealer
can also recommend good books 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.
