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.
The Incline Trainer, 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
the lncJine Trainer being damaged, aJways use a surge suppressor with the Incline Trainer (see drawing 1 at the right}. To purchase a surge sup- pressor, see your IocaJ NordicTrack dealer or call

Use onJy a singJe-outlet 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 voJts or Jess and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules. The surge suppressor must be ebctdcaHy rated for !20 volts AC and 15 crops. There must be a monitoring tight on the surge suppressor to indicate whether it is functioning property. Failure to use a propedy functioning surge suppressor coutd result in dam- age to the controJ system of the Incline Trainer. If the control system is damaged, the waJking beJt may change speed, accelerate, or stop unexpect-
edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

CONDITIONmNG GUiDELiNES
WARNING: Beforebeginningthee
or any exercise program, consult your physi- cian. This is especially important for individu=
ale over the age of 35 or individuals with pre= existing health problems.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user's move- ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The puJse 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 TRAmNmNG ZONES AEROBUC t65 !55 145 t40 !30 125 t15
MAX FA-fBURN 145 138 130 125 118 110 103 FAI BURN 125 120 115 110 105 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
Incline Trainer until your heart rate is near the lowest
number in your training zone,
For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed and incline of the Incline Trainer 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 Incline Trainer 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 handgrip pulse sensor,
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 com- 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,
