Then I hop into my workout clothes and shoes.

It is recommended to do the workout for at least 20 minutes a day. An ideal workout session should last for minimum 20 minutes. Each workout session has to pass through the following 3 phases :

Warm up

This is a very important phase of any kind of exercise. Some of the simple warm up stretching exercises that can be done includes side bends, forward bends etc. Each stretch should be held for about 30 seconds.

Warming up a bit helps in the blood flow to all parts of the body. This also makes the muscles to work the right way. It also reduces the risk of muscle cramps and subsequent injuries.

Burn it

This phase starts when work on the Orbitrek Elite. This should last for a minimum of 15 minutes. Start the exercise at lowest resistance level and gradually increase it. It is important to keep a steady rate after you reach the level that you can tolerate.

Reverse movement should also be done maintaining the same resistance level.

Positioning your grip on the handles in different ways helps working different groups of forearm muscles.

Always remember to breathe in through the nose for each round that you do.

Do not test your body’s potential by overdoing the workout.

Instead of glaring at the digital display on the machine, I continue this phase for the length of 3 songs!

If you experience dizziness, nausea, chest pain or any other abnormal symptoms, stop the workout at once and consult your physician immediately.

Wind up

Slow down the tempo and continue the workout at lower resistance for at least 5 minutes. After completing this phase, step down from the Orbitrek Elite. Then, repeat the stretching exercises that you did in the initial warm up phase for about 2 minutes.

After a few weeks you will be able to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least 3 to 5 times a week. If possible, try to space out the workout sessions throughout the week.
