HOW TO CONNECT THE INCLINE TRAINER
Locate the cable
DANGER: Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor increases
he risk of electric shock. Check with a quali-
t
fied electrician or serviceman if you are unsure
whether the product is properly grounded. Do
not modify the plug—if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. Do not use an adapter to connect
the plug to an improper receptacle.
HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD
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 electric shock.
This product is for use on a dedicated, 20-amp,
110-volt circuit. No other appliance should be on
the same circuit. This product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug.
Plug the grounding plug into a standard NEMA 5-20
receptacle. Do not modify the plug or the receptacle.
Do not use an adapter, a surge protector, or an extension cord. The receptacle must be grounded.

ate VO
m
ax, or aerobic capacity. VO
2 m
2 m
ax is a
measure of your ability to take in and utilize oxygen to
enerate energy for endurance activities such as run-
g
ning and cycling. In technical terms, VO
2 max is the
maximum volume of oxygen, in milliliters, that your
body can use in one minute, per kilogram of body
weight. A high VO2 max indicates a high level of cardiorespiratory fitness. Note: To learn more about VO2
max, refer to a reputable book or consult your physician.
For the most accurate results, use a FITNESS TEST

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning this
r any exercise program, consult your physi-
o
cian. This is especially important for persons
over age 35 or persons with pre-existing
health problems.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors 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.
These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for
successful results.
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after
the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin
to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to
burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the lowest number in your training
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your
heart rate near the middle number in your training
zone.
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts of
oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the highest number in your training
zone.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper intensity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise–never hold your breath.
Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles
and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.
