REPLACING THE WALKING BELT

When the walking belt becomes worn, it should be replaced. The walking belt will need to be replaced after every

0,000 to 15,000 miles (16,000 to 24,000 kilometers). See the service manual (not included) for replacement in-

1 structions. Please see the back cover of this manual to order a new walking belt.

REPLACING THE WALKING PLATFORM

When both sides of the walking platform become worn (see TURNING THE WALKING BELT below), the walking platform should be replaced. The walking platform will need to be replaced after every 20,000 to 30,000 miles (32,000 to 48,000 kilometers). Please see the back cover of this manual to order a new walking platform. Follow the instructions below to replace the walking platform.

TURNING THE WALKING PLATFORM

Both sides of the walking platform are designed to be used as walking surfaces. Inspect the walking platform periodically for wear. If there is any wood showing through the phenolic coating, or if the surface is damaged, the walking platform should be turned over. The walking platform will need to be turned over and the walking belt replaced (see above) after every 10,000 to 15,000 miles (16,000 to 24,000 kilometers). Follow the instructions below to turn over the walking platform.

1. Remove the key and unplug the

power cord. Remove the 5/16" x 1" Screws (2) and the Front Roller Cover (68). Remove the 5/16" x 4 3/8" Screws (29) and 5/16" Star Washers (54).

chipping or damaging the pheno-

lic coating on the Walking

latform (63). Lift the Walking

Platform and the Walking Belt (64)

o the position shown by the dotted

t lines. Slide the Walking Platform

out of the Walking Belt, turn it, and then slide it back into the Walking Belt. Note: If you are replacing the Walking Platform, slide the new Walking Platform into the Walking

Belt.

Lay down the Walking Platform (63) and the Walking Belt (64). Insert the

63 Front Roller (67) back into the Walking Belt.

4. See step 1. Partially reattach the 5/16" x 4 3/8" Screws (29) and the 5/16" Star Washers (54). Make sure that

the walking belt is centered. Do not fully tighten the Screws; the Screws should only be tight enough to remove the slack from the walking belt.

5. See step 2. Reattach the Roller Guards (74), the Walking Platform (63), the Foot Rails (59, 71), and the Foot

Rail Covers (58, 70).

6. See step 1. Reattach the Front Roller Cover (68). Make sure that the Walking Belt (64) is centered on the Front Roller (67). Then, partially tighten the 5/16" x 4 3/8" Screws (29) until the Walking Belt cannot be pushed to the left or right on the Front Roller. Make sure to turn both Screws the same number of times.

7. The tension of the Walking Belt (64) now needs to be adjusted. Turn each 5/16" x 4 3/8" Screw (29) clockwise four times. Center the Walking Belt if necessary (see page 30). Then, step onto the Foot Rails (59, 71), insert the key into

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: B

exercise program, consult your physician. 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.

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.

efore beginning any

Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-

cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of

ime. During the first few minutes of exercise, your

t 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 toward 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.
