DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAM
STRETCH FIRST
Before using your VISION FITNESS Elliptical Trainer, it is best to spend a
few minutes during a few gentle stretching exercises. Stretching prior to
exercise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise related
injury. Ease into each of these stretches with a slow gentle motion.
WALL PUSH
Stand near a wall, with the toes of
one foot about 18” from the wall,
and the other foot about 12”
behind that. Lean forward, push-
ing against the wall with your
palms. Keep your heels flat and
hold this position for a count of
15 seconds. Do not bounce.
Alternate the positions of your feet
and repeat for a total of 8
repetitions.
STANDING QUADRICEPS STRETCH
Using a wall or your Elliptical
Trainer to provide balance, grasp
your left ankle with your left hand
and hold your foot against the
back of your thigh for a count of
15 seconds.
Repeat with your right ankle and
hand, and continue alternating for
a total of 8 repetitions.
