Workout Guidelines
Good health is an exercise in common sense
The Surgeon General released a study in 2001, The Surgeon General’s Call To Action To Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity. It indicates that 61% of American adults are either overweight or obese. The study states that overweight increases the risk of health problems, such as heart disease, certain type 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.
The 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.
BMI = (weight (lb)/ height² (in)) x 703

Heart rate is an important key to your exercise.
The Surgeon General also released a report on physical activity and health. This report defi nitively stated that exercise and fi tness are benefi cial for a person’s health and redefi ned 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 fi tness, but not an excessive 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, the 900 model units are designed to include heart rate monitoring features.
12
Workout Guidelines (Continued)
If exercise intensity is too low or too high, no gains will be made in fi tness. If the intensity 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 diffi cult to count your own pulse during exercise, mainly because you cannot count fast
enough to get an accurate number. The 900 model units are 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 fi tness, depends primarily on your age and not your state of fi tness. 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 fi nd your training zone, use the following formula. An example has been provided below based on 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 fi t 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

Workout Guidelines (Continued)
quality of training for developing and maintaining cardio respiratory fi tness 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.
•Frequency: 3 to 5 times per week.
•ntensity: 60% to 85% of maximum heart rate.
•In addition to aerobic exercise, it is recommended that you add strength training of moderate intensity twice per week to your program.
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 fi rst 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.

Console
Pulse Hand Grips (Standard)
The 900 Model units are heart rate controlled and come standard with stainless steel pulse handgrips. To activate, gently grasp both handgrips 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 purpose, please note the console will take the measurement of the chest strap.)
Operating Tips:
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
The 900 Models are equipped with a built-in wireless heart rate receiver for your heart rate monitoring. 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 using a heart rate monitoring device.
(Note: The transmitter may fl uctuate erratically if you are too close to other heart rate monitoring equipment or there is other electronics nearby, such as TV, Radio, cell phone...)
The receiver of the wireless ECG system is built into the console unit of the Diamondback 1300Ef equipments. While using heart rate control modes, the computer monitors the exact measurement of and control over the activity if the heart. Heart rate frequency is displayed while the computer continually compares heart rate to the preprogrammed personal data. The computer adjusts the wattage to maintain heart rate at the preprogrammed level.
