DP AIR GOMETER - Using the Air Gometer; Full Body Workout

Using the DP AIR
GOMETERTM
The secret to aerobic
training
is
achieving
a selected
heart
rate and maintaining
it. The DP AIR
GoMETERTM,
with
its
air
resistance
sytem and
integrated
electronic
MONITOR
allows the user
to easily attain the
desired
pulse
rate.
Since
no
two
people
or
life
styles
are alike, the
DP
AIR GOMETERTM has
been designed
to allow the user to
isolate
por-
tions
of the body that may need
greater
emphasis
in
training.
These
exercises
provide
cardiovascular
conditioning, muscle toning
and
joint
llexing with
the
ability to exercise both the
upper and
lower
body simultaneously or
independently. Increase
the
workout
intensity
by
increasing
the speed of the
leg
and/or
arm
movements.
