IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the

following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.

1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure

that all users of this treadmill are adequately

informed of all warnings and precautions.

tem is damaged, the walking belt may change

speed or stop unexpectedly, which may result

in a fall and serious injury.

2. Use the treadmill only as described in this

manual.

12. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-

sor away from heated surfaces.

3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at

least eight feet of clearance behind it and two

feet on each side. Do not place the treadmill

on any surface that blocks air openings. To

protect the floor or carpet from damage,

place a mat under the treadmill.

13. Never move the walking belt while the power

is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if

the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the

treadmill is not working properly. (See

BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the tread-

mill is not working properly.)

4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-

ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a

garage or covered patio, or near water.

14. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-

ing on the walking belt. Always hold the

handrails while using the treadmill.

5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol

products are used or where oxygen is being

administered.

15. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.

Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid

sudden jumps in speed.

6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets

away from the treadmill at all times.

16. Do not use the hand weights at speeds faster

than walking speeds. Using hand weights and

not holding the handrails may compromise

your ability to maintain your balance.

7. The treadmill should not be used by persons

weighing more than 250 pounds. Never allow

more than one person on the treadmill at a time.

Exercises using hand weights should be at-

tempted only by experienced users.

8. Wear appropriate exercise clothing when

using the treadmill. Do not wear loose cloth-

ing that could become caught in the treadmill.

Athletic support clothes are recommended

for both men and women. Always wear ath-

letic shoes. Never use the treadmill with bare

feet, wearing only stockings, or in sandals.

17. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.

Various factors, including the user's move-

ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate

readings. The pulse sensor is intended only

as an exercise aid in determining heart rate

trends in general.

9. When connecting the power cord (see page 7),

plug the power cord into a surge suppressor

(not included) and plug the surge suppressor

into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15

or more amps. No other appliance should be on

the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.

18. Never leave the treadmill unattended while it

is running. Always remove the key, unplug

the power cord, and move the on/off switch to

the off position when the treadmill is not in

use. (See the drawing on page 5 for the loca-

tion of the on/off switch.)

10. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that

meets all of the specifications described on

page 7. To purchase a surge suppressor, see

your local REEBOK dealer or call 1-800-806-

3651 and order part number 146148.

19. Do not attempt to raise, lower, or move the

treadmill until it is properly assembled. (See

ASSEMBLY on page 6, and HOW TO FOLD

AND MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 21.)

You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20

kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

11. Failure to use a properly functioning surge

suppressor could result in damage to the con-

trol system of the treadmill. If the control sys-

20. When folding or moving the treadmill, make

sure that the storage latch is fully closed.

21. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, an

electronic “chirping” sound will alert you

when the speed and/or incline of the treadmill

is about to change. Always listen for the

“chirp” and be prepared for speed and/or in-

cline changes. In some instances, the speed

and/or incline may change before the per-

sonal trainer describes the change.

24. Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the

treadmill every three months.

25. Never drop or insert any object into any open-

ing.

26.

DANGER:

Always unplug the power

cord immediately after use, before cleaning

the treadmill, and before performing the main-

tenance and adjustment procedures de-

scribed in this manual. Never remove the

motor hood unless instructed to do so by an

authorized service representative. Servicing

other than the procedures in this manual

should be performed by an authorized service

representative only.

22. When using iFIT.com CDs and videos, you can

manually override the speed and incline set-

tings at any time by pressing the speed and in-

cline buttons. However, when the next “chirp”

is heard, the speed and/or incline will change

to the next settings of the CD or video program.

23. Always remove iFIT.com CDs and videos from

your CD player or VCR when you are not

using them.

27. The treadmill is intended for in-home use

only. Do not use the treadmill in any

commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

WARNING:

Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This

is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

ASSEMBLY

Assembly requires two people. Place the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not

dispose of the packing materials until the treadmill is assembled. No tools are required.

Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a

small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt, the sides of the walking platform, or

the shipping carton. This does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt or

on the sides of the walking platform, wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the

Uprights (65) until the Wheels (77) are resting on the floor

as shown.

2. Remove the Lock Knob (67) from the Lock Pin (72). Make

sure that the Lock Pin Collar (70) and the Spring (69) are

on the Lock Pin. (Note: If there are two Lock Pin Collars,

there should be one on each side of the Spring.) Insert

the Lock Pin through the Left Foam Grip (62), and tighten

the Lock Knob onto it.

After assembly has been completed, pull on the Left

Foam Grip (62) in the direction shown until the Latch Pin

(72) slides freely.

3. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened before you use the treadmill. Place a mat beneath the

treadmill to protect the floor or carpet. For your benefit, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with

the TROUBLESHOOTING section on pages 23 and 24.

TREADMILL OPERATION

THE PERFORMANT LUBE^TMWALKING BELT

an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding

plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,

and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate

outlet that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Important: The treadmill is not compatible with

GFCI-equipped outlets.

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with

PERFORMANT LUBE^TM, a high-performance lubricant.

IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other

substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-

form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking

belt and cause excessive wear.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,

and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-

trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that

looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be

used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole

receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly

grounded outlet is not available.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

DANGER:

Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding conductor can

result in an increased risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service-

man if you are in doubt as to whether the

product is properly grounded. Do not modify

the plug provided with the product—if it will

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet

installed by a qualified electrician.

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated

electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by

sudden voltage changes in your home’s power.

Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can

result from weather conditions or from other appliances

being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of

your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge

suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at

the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see

your local REEBOK dealer or call 1-800-806-3651

and order part number 146148.

Adapter

Surge Suppressor

Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is

UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-

pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a

UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less

and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.

The surge suppressor must be electrically rated

for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a

monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi-

cate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to

use a properly functioning surge suppressor could

result in damage to the control system of the

treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the

walking belt may change speed or stop unexpect-

edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

Lug

Metal Screw

The temporary adapter should be used only until a

properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed

by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending

from the adapter must be connected to a permanent

ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.

Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place

by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box

covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-

trician to determine if the outlet box cover is

grounded before using an adapter.

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-

tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-

tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

control the speed and incline of the treadmill as a per-

sonal trainer guides you through every step of your

workout. High-energy music provides added motivation.

Each CD features two programs designed by certified

personal trainers.

The treadmill console offers an impressive selection of

features to help you get the most from your exercise.

When the console is in the manual mode, the speed

incline level of the treadmill, and the speed of the walk-

ing belt. The console will also show your heart rate

when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or an optional

chest pulse sensor (see page 20).

In addition, you can connect the treadmill to your VCR

and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (videocas-

settes are available separately). Video programs offer

the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, but add

the excitement of working out with a class and an

instructor—the hottest new trend at health clubs.

With the treadmill connected to your computer, you

can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and ac-

cess basic programs, audio programs, and video pro-

grams directly from the internet. Additional options are

soon to be available. See www.iFIT.com for details.

The console also offers four preset workout programs.

Each program automatically controls the speed and

incline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effec-

tive workout; the included hand weights can be used for

HOW TO USE THE PRESET PROGRAMS

Insert the key into the console.

When only three seconds remain in the first seg-

ment of the program, both the Current Segment

column and the column to the right will flash and a

tone will sound. In addition, if the speed and/or

incline of the treadmill is about to change, the

Speed display and/or the Distance/Incline display

will flash to alert you, and three tones will sound.

When the first segment is completed, all speed

settings will move one column to the left. The

speed setting for the second segment will then be

shown in the flashing Current Segment column

and the treadmill will automatically adjust to the

speed and incline settings for the second seg-

ment.

maximum speed setting.

The program will continue in this way until the

speed setting for the final segment is shown in the

Current Segment column and no time remains in

the Time/Segment Time display. The walking belt

will then slow to a stop.

Note: Each time a segment ends and the speed

settings move one column to the left, if all of the

indicators in the Current Segment column are lit,

the speed settings will move downward so that only

the highest indicators in the columns will appear in

the program display. When the speed settings

move to the left again and not all of the indicators

in the Current Segment column are lit, the speed

settings will move back up.

The profiles printed on the right side of the console

show how the speed and incline of the treadmill will

change during the preset programs. The numbers

at the left ends of the profiles show the speed and

incline ranges for the programs. The program dis-

play will show a simplified profile of the program.

The Time/Segment Time display will show how

long the selected program will last.

Press the Start button or the Speed + button to

start the program.

If the speed or incline setting for the current

segment is too high or too low, you can manually

override the setting by pressing the Speed or

Incline buttons on the console. Every few times

one of the Speed buttons is pressed, an additional

indicator will light or darken in the Current Segment

column. If any of the columns to the right of the

Current Segment column have the same number

of lit indicators as the Current Segment column,

an additional indicator will light or darken in those

columns as well. Note: If you manually adjust the

speed setting so that all of the indicators in the

Current Segment column are lit, the speed settings

in the program display will not move downward as

described above. When the current segment of

the program ends, the treadmill will automati-

cally adjust to the speed and incline settings

for the next segment.

A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-

mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and

incline settings for the program. Hold the handrails

and begin walking.

Each program is divided into several time seg-

ments of different lengths. The Time/Segment

Time display shows both the time remaining in the

program and the time remaining in the current

segment. One speed setting and one incline set-

ting are programmed

for each segment. The

heart rate will change during the programs. The

program display will show a simplified profile of

the program. The Time/Segment Time display will

show how long the selected program will last.

Step onto the foot rails and make sure that the in-

cline of the treadmill is at the lowest setting. The

incline must be at the lowest setting when the

treadmill is raised to the storage position. Next,

remove the key from the console and put it in a se-

cure place. Note: If the displays and indicators

on the console remain lit after the key is re-

moved, the console is in the “demo” mode.

Refer to page 20 and turn off the demo mode.

When a pulse

program is se-

lected, the word

AGE will appear

in the Pulse/

Calories display.

When you are finished using the treadmill, move

the on/off switch near the power cord to the off

position and unplug the power cord.

When only three seconds remain in the first seg-

ment of the program, both the Current Segment

column and the column to the right will flash, a se-

ries of tones will sound, and the Speed display

and the Distance/Incline display will flash. When

the first segment is completed, all heart rate set-

tings will move one column to the left. The heart

rate setting for the second segment will then be

shown in the flashing Current Segment column,

and the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will

change, if needed, to bring your heart rate closer to

the heart rate setting for the second segment.

Enter a maximum heart rate setting.

After you have

entered your

age, the letters

PLS will appear

in the Pulse/

Calories display.

Press the + or –

button. A number will then appear in the display.

This number is the maximum heart rate setting for

the program. If Pulse program 1 is selected, the

maximum heart rate setting can be from 65% to

85% of your maximum possible heart rate; if Pulse

program 2 is selected, the maximum heart rate

setting can be from 65% to 80% of your maximum

possible heart rate.

The program will continue until no time remains in

the Time/Segment Time display. The walking belt

will then slow to a stop.

If the speed or incline setting for the current seg-

ment is too high or too low, you can adjust the set-

ting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, if

you decrease the speed, the incline will automati-

cally increase; if you increase the speed, the in-

cline will decrease. If you increase the incline, the

speed will decrease; if you decrease the incline,

the speed will increase. The treadmill will always

attempt to keep your heart rate near the target

heart rate setting for the current segment. Note:

When the incline reaches the lowest setting, the

speed cannot be increased any further. When the

incline reaches the highest setting, the speed can-

not be decreased any further.

Note: Your maximum possible heart rate is esti-

mated by subtracting your age from 220. For ex-

ample, if you are 30 years old, your maximum pos-

sible heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 – 30

= 190). Therefore, if Pulse program 1 is selected,

the maximum heart rate setting can be from 123 to

161 beats per minute (65% of 190 is 123; 85% of

190 is 161).

If you want to change the maximum heart rate set-

ting, press the + and – buttons. The buttons can

be held down to change the setting quickly. When

the desired setting is shown, press the Enter button.

If your pulse is not detected during the program,

the letters PLS will flash in the Pulse/Calories dis-

play. In addition, the speed and/or incline of the

treadmill may automatically decrease until your

pulse is detected. If this occurs, refer to the instruc-

tions included with the chest pulse sensor.

Press the Start button or the Speed + button to

start the program.

A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-

mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and

incline settings for the program. Hold the handrails

and begin walking.

Pulse programs cannot be stopped temporarily

and then restarted. To stop the program at any

time, press the Stop button.

Each program is divided into several time segments

of different lengths. The Time/Segment Time dis-

play will show both the time remaining in the pro-

gram and the time remaining in the current seg-

ment. One target heart rate setting is programmed

for each segment. The heart rate setting for the

REEBOK UNIVERSITY

Reebok University was launched in 1993 to fulfill a

vision to establish a “university without walls” that

develops quality, researched, state-of-the-art fitness

programming for the fitness industry throughout the

world.

WALKING AND REDUCED RISK FOR CARDIOVAS-

CULAR DISEASE

Several studies have found that regular walking at any

speed can increase HDL-C cholesterol (a high-density

lipoprotein which removes excess cholesterol from the

body) and can lower concentrations of blood triglyc-

erides (a storage form of fat), thus reducing the risk for

Working with the world’s best professionals, Reebok

University has created a host of original programs,

such as Step Reebok^®, Walk Reebok^SM, Slide Reebok^SMcardiovascular disease.

and Reebok City Jam^SM. The industry has adopted

Reebok programming as the “gold” standard. Our

guidelines and terminology are used by fitness profes-

sionals and participants around the world, and our

exceptional programming has been approved in the

United States by AFAA and ACE for continuing educa-

tion credits.

Duncan and his colleagues³concluded that exercise

does not have to be vigorous to reduce cardiovascular

risk factors. In other words, people who choose to

stroll rather than walk briskly can reduce their risk for

cardiovascular disease.

After studying the physical activity patterns of 17,000

Harvard alumni over a 20-year period, Paffenbarger

and his colleagues⁴concluded that walking as little as

five city blocks per day can reduce the risk of cardio-

vascular disease, and walking 2 miles per day can

reduce the risk of a heart attack by 28% or more.

Therefore, while walking at a fast pace will improve

aerobic fitness, walking at any speed (slow or fast) can

reduce a person's risk for heart disease.

WALKING AND CARDIORESPIRATORY

ENDURANCE

Scientific studies confirm that

walking at a moderate to

brisk pace can enhance

aerobic fitness. Rippe and

his colleagues¹found

that of 500 subjects

tested, 67% of the men

and 90% of the women

were able to reach their tar-

get heart rates by walking

4 to 4.5 miles per hour.

WALKING AND WEIGHT REDUCTION

Walking is an excellent activity for burning calories.

The steeper the incline and/or the faster the speed, the

more calories are burned. For example, a 150-pound

person walking at 3.5 miles per hour on flat ground will

burn about 300 calories per hour. This same person

will burn 400 calories per hour on a gentle 4% incline

and 500 calories per hour on a steeper 10% incline. If

this person speeds the pace up to 4 miles per hour on

level ground, 350 calories will be burned in one hour.⁵

Pollock and his col-

leagues²found that

It should be noted that participants who do not wish to

walk at faster speeds can burn a comparable number

of calories by walking for longer periods of time.

times per week had the same cardiovascular improve-

ments as men the same age who jogged for 30 min-

utes three times per week. Although the intensity of ex-

ercise was lower for the walkers than the runners, the

increased duration and frequency of walking provided

the walkers with similar aerobic benefits as the runners.

WALKING AND BONE DENSITY

Osteoporosis is a major health problem in the United

States, affecting an estimated 15 to 30 million people.

An age-related disorder, osteoporosis reduces the

density of bones. This disease can be life-threatening

since many older people die as a result of complica-

tions suffered from broken bones. Adequate calcium in

the diet and weight-bearing exercises seem to reduce

the risk of osteoporosis.

On the basis of current research, it seems clear that

walking at a moderate to brisk pace can be an excel-

lent aerobic activity.

Several studies have reported that regular walking at

moderate to brisk speeds appears to increase bone

density. Specifically, Fradin and his colleagues⁶found

that 70-year-old subjects who walked at least 30 min-

utes per day had higher bone mineral content than

subjects who walked less than 30 minutes per day.

Jones and his colleagues⁷reported that sedentary

women (aged 30 to 61 years old) who began a regular

walking program and continued for one year increased

their bone density.

During a 24-week study, not one of 59 participants

who walked five days a week at speeds between 3 and

5 miles per hour sustained a walking-related injury that

necessitated consulting with a physician. Carroll and

his colleagues¹⁰reported that 14% of the elderly sub-

jects participating in a walking study suffered training-

related orthopedic injuries, mostly to the lower leg and

foot. The majority of injuries occurred in the group as-

signed to "fast walking."

It is important to note that all forms of exercise have

some degree of risk associated with the activity.

Generally, the less mechanical stress on the muscu-

loskeletal system, the less risk of becoming injured.

Because of the low-impact nature of walking, the inci-

dence of injury appears to be low when compared to

other high-impact activities.

Since walking can be comfortably performed by people

of any age, walking appears to be practical and effec-

tive in reducing a person's risk for developing osteo-

porosis.

WALKING AND STRESS REDUCTION

There are many stressors in today's society, including

economic concerns, work-related pressures and the

need to balance career goals with home responsibili-

ties. People who are unable to cope with these types

of stressors are often tense and anxious, and may

even become physically or psychologically ill.

WALKING AND INJURIES

Walking is often associated with a low injury rate.

Walking is considered to be a "low impact" activity be-

cause one foot remains in contact with the ground at

all times. Walking at speeds of 3 miles per hour pro-

duces vertical impact forces that are around 1.25 times

body weight, whereas running at 7 miles per hour in-

creases vertical impact forces to more than 2.5 times

body weight.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for en-

ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body

begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal

is to burn fat, adjust the speed or incline of the tread-

mill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in

your training zone.

WARNING:

Before beginning this

or any exercise program, consult your physi-

cian. This is especially important for individu-

als over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-

existing health problems.

For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed or incline

of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle

number in your training zone.

The pulse sensor is not a medical device.

Various factors, including your movement,

may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings.

The sensor is intended only as an exercise aid

in determining heart rate trends in general.

Aerobic Exercise

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-

tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise

is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for

prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand

on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the

lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,

adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill until your

heart rate is near the highest number in your training

zone.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-

ercise program. For more detailed exercise informa-

tion, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your

cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the

desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.

The proper intensity level can be found by using your

heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-

mended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three parts:

A Warm-up—Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes

of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up in-

creases your body temperature, heart rate and circula-

tion in preparation for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—After warming up, increase

the intensity of your exercise until your pulse is in your

training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few

weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your

pulse in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.)

Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise—never

hold your breath.

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age

near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to

the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers

above your age. The three numbers define your “train-

ing zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended

heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the

recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

A Cool-down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10 min-

utes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the

flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-ex-

ercise problems.

To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the

handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sen-

sor (see page 20). If your heart rate is too high or too

low, adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three

workouts each week, with at least one day of rest be-

tween workouts. After a few months, you may com-

plete up to five workouts each week if desired. The key

to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable

part of your everyday life.

Fat Burning

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively

low intensity level for a sustained period of time.

During the first few minutes of exercise, your body

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from

your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach

down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,

then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees

and back.

2. Hamstring Stretch

Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot to-

ward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg.

Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,

then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings,

lower back and groin.

3. Calf/Achilles Stretch

With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your

hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back

foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move

your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat

3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles

tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles

tendons and ankles.

4. Quadriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp

one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your

buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3

times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

5. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.

Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for

15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps

and hip muscles.
