Before moving the recumbent bike, make sure that the power cord is unplugged. Note: If a CATV

cable is connected to the recumbent bike, it may be necessary to disconnect the cable if the recumbent bike will be moved far.

Due to the size and weight of the recumbent bike, moving it requires two persons. While one person

lifts the indicated end, firmly hold the handlebar and tip the recumbent bike forward until it rolls on the front wheels. Carefully move the recumbent bike to the desired location and then lower it back to the level position.

jury, use extreme caution while moving the recumbent bike. Do not attempt to move the recumbent bike over uneven surfaces.

If the recumbent bike rocks slightly during use, turn the leveling feet under the rear of the frame until the rocking motion is eliminated.

FACTORS IN A SENSIBLE DIET

Choose high-fiber, low-fat, and low-sugar

• foods: fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

• Eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily.

• Reduce red meat consumption; eat lean meat, white meat, and fish.

• Choose healthful snacks; bring healthful foods with you to work or in the car.

• Eat regular meals or mini-meals. Control your portion size—don't binge or overeat. Eat slowly.

• Reduce fast food and pre-packaged meals.

• Pay attention to fat content and calories.

• Limit alcoholic beverages and caffeine.

• Drink at least eight to ten glasses of water daily.

Determine your target heart rate.

Your

maximum heart rate

number of times that your heart can pump during one minute. To determine your approximate MHR, subtract your age (in years) from 220. This is only an estimation of your MHR—only clinical stress testing can provide an actual MHR reading.

Once you have determined your MHR, you can establish your target heart rate zone. Beginning exercisers may wish to start at 60 to 70 percent of their MHR. This level is called the Exercise at 70 to 85 percent of your MHR for the optimal training, aerobic, or cardiovascular level—

EXERCISE STEPS

The following nine steps for designing your exercise program were developed by exercise physiologists at NordicTrack. The actual exercise you perform is only a part of a safe and effective training program. There are many other aspects to developing a life-long commitment to physical fitness.

Consult your physician before beginning

any exercise program.

A medical examination or consultation with your physician is essential.

Establish personal fitness goals.

Set attainable, realistic goals. Reward yourself when you meet your goals. Remember, your goals should act as a guide for your workout program.

Be sure to check your heart rate at least twice during an aerobic conditioning session. First, check your heart rate five minutes into your workout to be sure that you are at the proper intensity. Then, check it again near the end of your workout to verify that you have maintained your target heart rate for the recommended period of time.

WEIGHT LOSS TIPS

At least four, 30-minute workouts per week, along with a reduced-calorie diet, are recommended if you are trying to lose weight. However, be sure to stay within your target heart rate zone and exercise a maximum of 5 days per week for 60 minutes per workout.

Good posture is the key to safe, comfortable workouts. Keep your chin up and your head facing forward. Align your head and shoulders with your hips. Avoid leaning forward. Keep your back straight.

Warm up before you begin.

A warm-up routine prepares your body and mind for vigorous exercise. It also helps provide insurance against injury and soreness. Warm up with two to five minutes of slow exercise, at minimal intensity.

3. Hamstring Stretch—Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and

est it against the inner thigh of your extended leg.

r Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold

or 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times

f for both legs. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back, and groin.

4. 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 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

5. 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 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

Stretch after your warm-up.

A pliable, well-stretched muscle is less susceptible to injury. Perform the recommended stretches on a smooth, flat surface.

The correct form for several stretches is described below (see the drawings at the right). Be sure to move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch—Sit with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees, and back.

2. 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 to 30 seconds, 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.

BENEFITS OF AEROBIC EXERCISE

• Effective weight loss and management

• Added protection from heart disease Increased strength and health of bones

•

“T” is for the time or duration of your workout.

Beginning exercisers may wish to start with 5

o 10 minutes of aerobic activity. Those in aver-

t age physical condition should exercise for 20 to

0 minutes. Highly fit people, or people who want

3 to lose weight, should exercise for 30 to 60 minutes. The key is to maintain your target heart rate for the duration of the workout period.

• Higher levels of energy for greater productivity during the day

• Healthy stress relief from a pressure-packed day

• Greater intellectual capacity and productivity

Get FIT with NordicTrack

Effective aerobic exercise has three major parts:

frequency,intensity

may help you to remember these three parts:

“F” stands for the frequency of your work-

outs. Three to five workouts per week are recommended. Exercise at least four times a week for weight loss.

“I” refers to the intensity of your workout.

Check your heart rate at least twice during your aerobic exercise session: once during the session and once again at the end. Maintain a workout intensity level within your Target Heart Rate Zone. You can measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or the method described below:

1. Lower your wrist below your heart level. This will make your heart rate stronger and easier to feel.

2. Using the index and middle fingertips of your right hand, touch your left wrist, onefourth inch from your wrist joint, at the base of your thumb.

3. Apply minimal pressure with both fingers—let the beat come to your fingers. If you can't find your pulse, use the opposite wrist and hand.

, and

time

. The acronym "FIT"

Remember to take it slowly. Fitness is a lifelong commitment. If you can't go the full 20 minutes from the start, which is common, try to exercise for five minutes at a time, a couple of times a day. Recent research indicates that several short workouts in one day can also provide fitness benefits. Gradually, your stamina will increase and it will become easier to exercise for longer periods of time.

Cool down after aerobic exercise.

Keep moving! It is important that you cool down properly to allow your heart rate to decrease slowly after it has been elevated. This helps the blood flow from your extremities back to your heart. Keep your legs moving on the recumbent bike at a slower pace for at least five minutes following the aerobic phase.

Stretch again at the end of your exercise

session.

Stretching after exercise reduces muscle soreness. See step 5 on page 28.

Participate in strength training.

"Balanced fitness, including both strength training and aerobic exercise, can do more to ensure a happy life than just about anything else known to medical science today."

—Kenneth Cooper, M.D., M.P.H., founder of The Cooper Institute For Aerobic Research, Dallas, Texas.

A strength-training program increases your lean muscle mass. Lean muscle mass aids in burning body fat. With additional muscle mass and strength, you will receive the full benefits of an exercise program. You will also be less prone to in juries during the aerobic phase of your workout.

ull-body conditioning helps take care of many of

F life's aches and pains. However, it takes time for your body to adapt to any new routine. Below are some tips that will help ease you into your new NordicTrack routine.

• Begin and end each exercise session with the stretches on page 28. Stretch in a smooth, controlled manner. Hold each stretch for 15 to 30 seconds. You may experience some initial muscle soreness and discomfort as a result of exercising inactive or poorly stretched muscles. For maximum benefit, a stretching routine must be performed every day.

• Be aware of your body's signals and react to them accordingly. At your correct exercise intensity, you should be able to whistle or maintain a normal conversation. If during exercise you feel tired, light-headed, dizzy, or nauseated, stop exercising immediately and consult your physician. Your heart rate may also be affected by such things as stress, caffeine, nicotine, or prescription drugs.

Interval training has been shown to promote higher levels of aerobic conditioning. It consists of spurts of high-intensity activity followed by active rest periods of exercise at a lower intensity. For example, a one-minute spurt of high-resistance, fast exercise is followed by a two- to threeminute active rest period of low-resistance, slow exercise. The duration of these periods should be based more on how you feel rather than time. A sequence such as this should be repeated 5 to 20 times during your workout session.
