result in an increased risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service-
man if you are In doubt as to whether the

product is properly grounded, Do not modify

the plug provided with the product--if it will

not fit the outlet, have a proper ouUet
installed by a qualified electrician.

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home's power,
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can

result from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off, To decrease the possibility of

your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at
the right}. To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your Joca! NordicTrack deaJer or call 1-888-825-

2588 and order part number 148148.

plug, PJug the power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with aH local codes and ordinances.
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with

GFCl-equipped outJets.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in drawing 1 below, A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole

receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly

grounded outlet is not available,

Surge Suppressor

Use onJy a singJe-ouflet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 tisted as a transient voltage surge sup-
pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or Jess
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joutes.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated
for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a
monitoring Jight on the surge suppressor to indi-
cate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to
use a properJy functioning surge suppressor could
resuJt in damage to the contro! system of the
treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the
waJking belt may change speed or stop unexpect-

edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of ebc°

The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician,

The green°colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover,
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place
by a metal screw, Some 2-poJe receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-

trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.

CONDiTiONiNG GUiDELiNES

WARNING: Beforebeginningth s

or any exercise program, consult your physi-
cian. This is especially important for indMdu-

als over the age of 35 or individuals with pre=
existing health problems.

The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including your movement,
may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings.
The sensor is intended only as an exercise aid
in determining heart rate trends in general

The following guidelines wiii help you to plan your ex=
ercise program, For more detailed exercise informa=
tion, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician,

EXERCISE iNTENSiTY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity,
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide, The chart below shows recom=
mended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise,

HEART RATE TRAINING ZONES

AEROBIC t65 155 145 140 130 125 115

MAX FAT BURN t45 138 130 I25 118 110 I03
FATBURN 125 120 I15 110 105 95 90

Age 20 30 40 50 60 70 80

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to
the nearest ten years), Next, find the three numbers
above your age, The three numbers define your "train=
ing zone," The lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the

recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise,

ergy, Only after the first few minutes does your body
begin to use stored fat calories for energy, if your goal
is to burn fat, adjust the speed and incline of the tread=
mill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in
your training zone,

For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed and incline
of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle
number in your training zone,

Aerobic Exercise

if your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be "aerobic," Aerobic exercise
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for
prolonged periods of time, This increases the demand
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the
lungs to oxygenate the blood, For aerobic exercise,
adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your
heart rate is near the highest number in your training

zone,

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three parts:

A Warm-up--Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes
of stretching and light exercise, A proper warm-up in=
creases your body temperature, heart rate and circula=
tion in preparation for exercise,

Training Zone Exercise--After warming up, increase
the intensity of your exercise until your pulse is in your
training zone for 20 to 60 minutes, (During the first few
weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your
pulse in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes)

Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise--never
hold your breath,

A CooFdown--Finish each workout with 5 to 10 min-
utes of stretching to cool down, This will increase the

flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-ex-
ercise problems,

To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the
pulse sensor on the console,

Fat Burning

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively
low intensity level for a sustained period of time,
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate ca/cries for en=

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at bast one day of rest be-
tween workouts, After a few months, you may corn=
plete up to five workouts each week if desired, The key
to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable
part of your everyday life,
