Calf and Achilles Stretch TARGET HEART RATE ZONE Before starting this or any other exercise program, consult your physician, who can assist you in determining the target heart rate zone appropriate for your age and physical condition. Certain exercise programs or types of equipment may not be appropriate for all people. This is especially important for people over the age of 35, pregnant women, or those with pre-existing health problems or balance impairments. Monitor your heart rate while you exercise and keep your estimated pulse rate within your target heart rate zone. Follow the instructions on page 19 regarding heart rate monitoring and how to determine your appropriate target heart rate zone. When used properly, the heart rate pulse sensors and display monitor provide a reasonably accurate estimate of your actual heart rate. This estimate is not exact and persons with medical conditions and/or a specific need for accurate heart rate monitoring, should not rely on the estimations provided. Stand approximately one arms length away from a wall or chair with your feet hip-width apart. Keeping your toes pointed forward, move one leg in close to the chair while extending the other leg behind you. Bending the leg closest to the chair and keeping the other leg straight, place your hands on the chair. Keep the heel of the back leg on the ground and move your hips forward. Slowly lean forward from the ankle, keeping your back leg straight until you feel a stretch in your calf muscles. Overhead/Triceps Stretch Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your knees slightly bent. Lift one arm overhead and bend your elbow, reaching down behind your head with your hand toward the opposite shoulder blade. Stand upright on the foot pedals with your hands on the dual action handlebars. Reverse your normal handlebar motion and pull back and then push forward on the handlebars. Increase the tension as necessary so that you are getting a full upper body workout. In this exercise, you will feel your biceps, the back of your shoulders and your lats working. 4.

Bend your elbows slightly so that your arms are not hyperextended or "locked out". As your legs move in the elliptical motion, pump your arms back and forth as if you were walking.
