HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart
rate near a certain percentage of your maximum heart
rate during your workout. (Your maximum heart rate is
estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For
example, if you are 25 years old, your maximum heart
rate is 195.) Heart rate program 5 is designed to keep
your heart rate between 50% and 85% of your maxi
mum heart rate while you exercise; heart rate program
6 is designed to keep your heart rate between 50%
and 80% of your maximum heart rate.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
WU Turn on the console.
Refer to step 1 on page 12,
Select one of the two heart rate programs.
Each time the
console is
turned on, the
manual mode
will be selected.
To select a heart
rate program,
press the Select
Program button repeatedly until the number 5 or 6
appears in the upper right corner of the display.
The profiles numbered 5 and 6 on the right side
of the console show the resistance settings of the
heart rate programs. For example, profile number
5 shows that when heart rate program 5 is select
ed, the resistance level will gradually increase
during the program and then decrease near the
end.
Enter your age.
When a heart rate program is selected, the word
AGE and the current age setting will flash in the
display. You must enter your age to use a heart
rate program. If you have already entered your
age, press the + or - button to confirm the age
setting, and then go to step 4, If you have not
entered your age, press the + or - button repeat
edly to enter your age. A few seconds after you
enter your age, the age setting will disappear
from the display. Your age will be saved in memo
ry until the batteries are replaced.
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
When using a heart rate program, you must use
the handgrip pulse sensor (refer to step 5 on
page 12) or the optional chest pulse sensor. If
you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not nec
essary to hold the handgrips continuously during
the program. However, you should hold the hand
grips frequently for the program to operate prop
erly. Each time you hold the handgrips, keep
your hands on the metal contacts for at least
30 seconds. Note; When you are not holding the
handgrips, the letters PLS will appear in the dis
play instead of your heart rate.
Start the program.
To start the program, simply begin exercising.
Each heart rate program consists of 20 oneminute periods. One resistance setting and one
heart rate setting are programmed for each peri
od. (The same resistance setting and/or heart
rate setting may be programmed for consecutive
periods.)
During the program, the resistance of the elliptical
crosstrainer will automatically change as shown
by the applicable profile on the console. If the cur
rent resistance level is too high or too low, you
can adjust the resistance level by pressing the
Resistance buttons. However, when the current
period of the program is completed, the resistance
level will automatically change if a different resis
tance setting is programmed for the next period.
As you exercise,
the pace indica
tors will help you
to keep your
heart rate near
the target heart
rate for the cur
rent period. The
right indicator will show a target pace. The left
indicator will show your actual exercise pace.
When you hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear
the optional chest pulse sensor, the console will
compare your heart rate to the target heart rate
for the current period; if your heart rate is too far
below or above the target heart rate, the right
indicator will then change to prompt you to
increase or decrease your pace. When the right
indicator changes, increase or decrease your
pace so that the same number of bars appear in
14
both indicators. If your pace is slower than the
current target pace, the increase arrow will also
appear in the display; if your pace is faster than
the target pace, the decrease arrow will appear.
Important; The pace settings for the program
are intended only to provide a goal. Your actu
al pace may be slower than the pace settings,
especially during the first few months of your
exercise program. Make sure to exercise at a
pace that is comfortable for you.
During the program, the display will show the
time remaining in the program. If you continue to
exercise after the program is completed, the dis
play will continue to show your exercise feed
back.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
AWARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise pro
gram, consult your physician. This Is especlally Important for persons over the age of 35
or persons with pre-existing health problems.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors rnay affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor Is
intended only as an exercise aid in determin
ing heart rate trends in general.
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that 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, 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, maximum fat
burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
165 155 145
130 125 115
140
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener
gy. 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 num
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle num
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exer
cise 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 intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone as you exercise.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa
ration for exercise.
145 138 130 125 118 no 103
125 120 115 110 105 95 90
20 30
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
on the bottom line of the chart (ages are rounded off
to the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers
above your age. The three numbers are your “training
zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
50 60 70 80

»
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min
utes of exercising 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.)
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help 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 exer
cise, you may complete 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.
