This stage should last for a minimum of 12
minutes though most people start at about 15-20
minutes
The cool down phase
This stage is to let your Cardiovascular 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 fitness trainer 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.
