3. Begin pedaling or press a button on either controller to start the game.

When you start the Fat Blocker game, a game arena will appear in the center of the display.

As you play, the blocks will fall faster and faster; however, your pedaling pace will affect the speed of the blocks—the faster you pedal, the more slowly the blocks will fall, giving you extra time to position and orient the blocks. The game will continue until any part of a stacked block reaches the top of the arena.

When the game ends, the display will show your final score and the level of play that you reached. The display will then show the four highest scores recorded since the scores were reset. If desired, press and hold down the right button on either controller to reset the scores. Note: If your score is one of the four highest, the display will prompt you to enter a name consisting of three letters or digits. While the line below the first letter is flashing, press the up and down buttons on either controller to select the desired letter or digit. Next, press the right button on either controller and select another letter or digit. Repeat this process to select a third letter or digit. Then, press the right button on either controller again. The display will then show the four highest scores recorded since the scores were reset.

A block composed of four or five black squares will slowly move downward until it reaches the bottom of the arena. Another block will then move downward. Blocks come in eight different shapes. As each block falls, you can move it to the left or right using the left and right buttons on the left controller. In addition, you can rotate the block counterclockwise or clockwise using the left and right buttons on the right controller. Once you have positioned and oriented a block, you can speed its motion to the bottom of the arena, if desired, by pressing the down button on either controller.

4. Follow your progress with the display.

While you exercise and play the Fat Blocker game, the corners of the display will show the elapsed time, the approximate number of calories you have burned, and your pedaling pace. In addition, the display will show your current score and the game level that you have reached.

To pause the game, press the center button. To resume the game, press the center button repeatedly until the words FAT BLOCKER appear at the top of the display, and then press a button on either controller.

5. When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically.

When you start the Calorie Destroyer game, a game arena will appear in the display. Three rows of drones will begin to move across the top of the arena, periodically firing their lasers downward. Each time the drones reach the left or right side of the arena, they will reverse direction and move downward.

etween the drones and the laser blaster are five

B shields. You can hide the laser blaster below a shield if desired. However, each time a shield is hit by a laser, a piece will be vaporized.

Your goal is to keep the laser blaster from being

it and to keep any drone from reaching the bot-

h tom of the arena. If the laser blaster is hit, it will be disabled and another laser blaster will appear in its place; there are a total of four laser blasters. If you vaporize the entire squadron of drones, a new squadron will appear.

As you play, the drones will move faster and faster. The game will continue until all four laser blasters are disabled or a drone reaches the bottom of the arena.

When the game ends, the display will show the level of play that you reached and your final score. The display will then show the four highest scores recorded since the scores were reset. If desired, press and hold down the right button on either controller to reset the scores. Note: If your score is one of the four highest, the display will prompt you to enter a name consisting of three letters or digits. While the line below the first letter is flashing, press the up and down buttons on either controller to select the desired letter or digit. Next, press the right button on either controller and select another letter or digit. Repeat this process to select a third letter or digit. Then, press the right button on either controller again.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: B

or any 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.

efore beginning this

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

cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
