EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS
3. The Cool Down Phase
This stage is to let your Cardio-vascular System and muscles wind down. This is a repeat of the
warm up exercise e.g. reduce your tempo, continue for approximately 5 minutes. The stretching
exercises should now be repeated, again remembering not to force or jerk your muscles into the
stretch.
As you get fitter you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least three times a
week, and if possible space your workouts evenly throughout the week.
MUSCLE TONING
To tone muscle while on your Sit-Fit you will need to have the resistance set quite high. This will put
more strain on our leg muscles and may mean you cannot train for as long as you would like. If you
are also trying to improve your fitness you need to alter your training program. You should train as
normal during the warm up and cool down phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase you
should increase resistance making your legs work harder. You will have to reduce your speed to
keep your heart rate in the target zone.
WEIGHT LOSS
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work
the more calories you will burn. Effectively this is the same as if you were training to improve
your fitness, the difference is the goal.
