Workout guidelines

Good health is an exercise in common sense.

The Surgeon General released a new study in 2001, The Surgeon General’s Call To Action To Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity. It indicates that 61% of

merican adults are either overweight or obese. The story states that overweight

A increases the risk of health problems, such as heart disease, certain types of cancer, type 2 diabetes, etc. It further points out that overweight needs to be regarded primarily as a Health rather than as an Appearance issue.

he Surgeon General’s Healthy weight advice for consumers is:

1. Aim for a healthy weight: Find your Body Mass Index (BMI) on the chart below.

2. Be active: Keep physically active to balance the calories you consume.

3. Eat well: Select sensible portion sizes.

Heart rate is an important key to your exercise.

The Surgeon General also released a report on physical activity and health. This report definitively stated that exercise and fitness are beneficial for a person’s health and redefined that exercise is a key component of disease prevention and healthier living.

Medical research has shown us that there is an amount of exercise, which is enough to condition the cardio respiratory system and the muscles of the body. This amount of exercise is between 60% and 85% of your maximum heart rate measured during a training session. This range allows enough exercise to achieve fitness, but not an exces-

sive amount to cause injury. Your heart rate is an excellent indicator of the amount of stress placed on the cardiovascular system. Taking full advantage of this information,

he 460 model unit is designed to include heart rate monitoring features.

f exercise intensity is too low or too high, no gains will be made in fitness. If the inten-

I sity is too low, the stress levels are ineffective. If the intensity is too high, injury or fatigue may set your exercise program back as you try to recover.

The best way to monitor exercise intensity is to accurately count your pulse during exercise. Your heart rate can easily be determined by counting your pulse at the chest, wrist or at the carotid artery on your neck. It is difficult to count your own pulse during exercise, mainly because you cannot count fast enough to get an accurate number. The 460 model unit is equipped with a wireless telemetry receiving system. What it does is automatically count your heart rate while you are wearing a heart rate chest belt during your exercising period. Heart rate is monitored and electronically displayed as a digital readout. Your target heart rate, the intensity needed to improve cardiovascular fitness, depends primarily on your age and not your state of fitness. It is calculated as a percentage of your maximum heart rate, estimated as 220 minus your age. It is most effective to train at your target heart rate between 60% and 85% of your maximum heart rate.

Maximum Heart Rate & Training Zone

To calculate your maximum heart rate and find your training zone, use the following formula. An example has been provided below based for a 35-year –old person:

220 – Age = Maximum Heart Rate (220 – 35 = 185) 60% of Maximum Heart Rate (60% x 185 = 111bpm) 85% of Maximum Heart Rate (85% x 185 = 157bpm) Training Zone: 111bpm – 157bpm

Quantity & Quality

It is recommended that you accumulate at least 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week. Physical activity should be initiated slowly and the intensity should be increased gradually. You should select activities that you enjoy and can fit into your daily life. Having Diamondback equipment at home certainly gives you the comfortable and convenient workout you want.

The American College of Sports Medicine makes the following recommendations for the quantity and quality of training for developing and maintaining cardio respiratory fitness in healthy adults:

• An activity that uses large muscle groups, maintained continuously, and is rhythmical and aerobic in nature.

• Duration: 20 to 60 minutes of continuous aerobic activity, including a warm-up and cool-down period for each exercise session.

equency: 3 to 5 times per week.

Workout guidelines (continued)

Get a smart start on exercising.

Anyone over the age of 35, as well as younger persons whom are overweight, should check with his/her physician before beginning any type of exercise program. People who have diabetes or high blood pressure, a family history of heart disease, high cholesterol or have lead a sedentary lifestyle should protect themselves with a medical check-up and a stress test, preferably administered during exercise by a healthcare professional.

1. Always stretch before your workout to loosen muscles, and afterwards to cool down.

2. The first few minutes of your workout should be devoted to warming up muscles before a vigorous workout, and building your heart rate slowly.

3. After your aerobic workout of about 24-32 minutes, spend 10 minutes gradually reducing your heart rate with a lower resistance level.

Remember, to start slow, with intensity low, until you build endurance and strength. And always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.

Heart Rate Monitoring

Pulse Hand Grips (Standard)

The 460 Model units have heart rate feedback and come standard with stainless steel pulse hand grips. To activate, gently grasp both hand grips to obtain a heart rate reading.

(Note: It is recommended to wear a chest strap for Heart Rate control program as it is more accurate. If you wear a chest strap and use hand grips at the same time for heart rate monitoring, the console will take the measurement of the chest strap.)

Pulse Grip Operating T If you are not getting a consistent reading while using the hand pulse option, we recommend the following suggestions:

• Make sure that the palms of the hands are touching the contact area of each hand pulse grip.

• Maintain an even pressure on the grips.

• Do not hold the hand pulse grips too tightly.

Chest Strap (Optional)

The 460 Model units are also equipped with a built-in receiver for your heart rate monitoring. To utilize this receiver you will need to wear a heart rate monitoring chest strap which is Polar® compatible. To get an accurate reading using these devices, you will need to be within three feet of the console, and a minimum of four feet from others who are using a heart rate monitoring device.

(Note: The transmitter may fluctuate erratically if you are too close to other heart rate monitoring equipment.)

The receiver of the wireless ECG system is built into the console of the Diamondback 460 equipment. When using any heart rate control program, the computer monitors and attempts to control your heart rate to the desired level. Heart rate frequency is displayed while the computer continually compares heart rate to the pr to maintain heart rate at the preprogrammed level.

Maintenance

AUTION – FOR SAFE OPERATION

Always inspect hardware prior to any exercise session. Look for loose hardware, loose pedals, loose cranks and frayed wires. Repair or replace any damaged or worn parts, tighten all loose hardware.

As part of Diamondback Fitness’ normal installation and set-up process, all pedal cranks must be tightened after 8 to 10 hours of initial riding to ensure parts are properly seated to axle. This is standard initial “break-in” service which must be performed after the first 8 to 10 hours of use. Untightened pedal cranks may become loose, causing damage which may void the warranty.

After training, always wipe down your 460 model unit. Perspiration that continuously settles on frame, pads or casing may eventually cause rust to the unit. Damage resulting from lack of proper maintenance will not be covered under warranty. To clean pads, use a mild soap and warm water. Dry with a clean towel.

If noises develop or malfunctions occur, contact your authorized Diamondback Fitness dealer.
