The convenient hand pulse sensor allows you to measure your heart rate before you begin exercising, during your workouts, and again when you finish.

To use the hand pulse sensor, the console must be turned on. In addition, the walking belt must be moving or the time must be flashing in the main display.

To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot rails and place your hands on the metal contacts as shown. Your palms must be resting on the upper contacts, and your fingers must be touching the lower contacts. Avoid

moving your hands. When your

pulse is detected, the PULSE indicator will flash each time your heart beats, three dashes (Ð Ð Ð) will appear

on the left side of the main display and your heart rate will be shown. Continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds for the most accurate heart rate reading.

HAND PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

¥ Stand on the foot rails and avoid moving your hands

while measuring your heart rate. Excessive movement may interfere with heart rate readings. If the hand pulse sensor is not used correctly, your heart rate will not be shown.

¥ Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so

may interfere with heart rate readings.

¥ Continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds

for the most accurate heart rate reading.

¥ For optimal performance of the hand pulse sensor,

keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be cleaned with a soft clothÑnever use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.

How to Use the Hand Pulse Sensor

Metal Contacts

Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side. Using a saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit to a position against your chest.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, or if the displayed pulse is excessively high or low, try the trouble-shooting steps below.

¥ Make sure that the chest pulse sensor is under your

clothing, against your skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. Note: If the chest pulse sensor does not function when positioned as described, try moving it slightly lower or higher on your chest.

¥ Make sure that the logo on the sensor unit is facing

forward and is right-side-up.

¥ Each time you use the chest pulse sensor, use saline

solution such as saliva or contact lens solution to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor unit (see the drawing at the top of this page). If pulse readings do not appear until you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.

¥ As you walk or run on the treadmill, make sure that

you are near the center of the walking belt and within armÕs length of the console. For the console to dis-

play pulse readings, the user must be within armÕs length of the console.

¥ The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with

people who have normal heart rhythms. Pulse reading problems may be caused by medical conditions such as premature ventricular contractions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

¥ The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be

affected by magnetic interference caused by high power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that magnetic interference may be causing a problem, try relocating the treadmill.

¥ If the chest pulse sensor still does not function prop-

erly, test the chest pulse sensor in the following way:

Hold the chest pulse sensor and place your thumbs over the electrode areas as shown above.

Next, hold the chest pulse sensor near the console. While holding one thumb stationary, begin tapping the other thumb against the electrode area at a rate of about one tap per second. Check the pulse reading on the console.

¥ If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly

after you have followed all of the above instructions, the battery should be replaced in the following way:

Locate the battery cover on the back of the sensor unit. Insert a coin into the slot in the cover, turn the cover counterclockwise, and remove the cover.

Remove the old battery and insert a new CR 2032 battery.

Make sure that the battery is turned so the writing is on top. Replace the

battery cover and turn it clockwise to close it.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE

¥ Dry the chest pulse sensor after each use. The

chest pulse sensor is activated when the electrode areas are wetted and it is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off when it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after each use, it may remain activated longer than necessary, draining the battery prematurely.

¥ Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.

Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag or other container that may trap moisture.

¥ Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct

sunlight for extended periods of time. Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to temperatures above 122¡F (50¡C) or below 14¡F (-10¡C).

¥ Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit

when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.

¥ Clean the sensor unit using a damp clothÑnever

use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.

TREADMILL OPERATION

THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.

IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. They will deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by sudden voltage changes in your homeÕs 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 protector (not included) with your treadmill.

Surge protectors are sold at most hardware stores and department stores. Use only a ULlisted surge protector, rated at 15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or less in length.

This product must be grounded. If it should

malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug

the power cord into a surge protector, and plug the surge protector into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be used to connect the surge protector to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

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-pole receptacle outlet box

covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is grounded before using an adapter.

DANGER: Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in an increased risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the productÑif it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

If the age setting is correct, press the ENTER button. If you have not entered your age, press the BIOLOGIX + and Ð buttons to enter your age and then press the ENTER button.

Refer to the LED matrix. The matrix will show the maximum heart rate setting of the selected program, as a percentage of your maximum possible heart rate. (Your maximum possible heart rate is 220 minus your age). If the HEART RATE HILL or HEART

RATE INTERVAL program is selected, go to step 8. If the HEART RATE SELF-SELECT program is selected, go to step 7.

Select a heart rate setting.

The SELF-SELECT program is designed to keep your heart rate near a setting that you choose. The BIOLOGIX display will show the current heart rate setting of the program, in beats per minute. The LED matrix will show the current heart rate setting as a percent- age of your maxi- mum possible heart rate. (Your maximum possible heart rate is 220 minus your age). If desired, you can change the percentage shown in the matrix by pressing the BIOLOGIX + and Ð buttons. Each time one of the buttons is pressed, the percentage will change by 5%. The percentage can be from 50% to 85%. As the percentage is changed, the heart rate setting shown in the BIOLOGIX display will also change.

Press the PROGRAM START button or the SPEED + button to start the program.

After a moment, the walking belt will begin to move at 1.5 mph. Hold the handrails and begin walking.

As you exercise, the LED matrix will display two numbers. The number on the left is the current target heart rate setting; the number on the right is your actual heart rate. (The numbers are percentages of your maximum possible heart rate). At the end of each one-minute period of the program, a tone will sound and the console will compare your actual heart rate to the target heart rate. If your actual heart rate is higher or lower than the target heart rate by 5% or more, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automatically change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.

When the TIME indicator is lit, the main display will show the time remaining in the program. Near the end of the program, the walking belt will slow to allow you to cool down. During the last ten seconds of the program, the incline will decrease to 0%. When no time remains in the program, the walking belt will slow to a stop.

If your heart rate is not detected during a HEART RATE program, the letters ÒPLSÓ will flash in the main display. (See Chest Pulse Sensor Trouble- shooting on page 8.) The speed and/or incline of the treadmill may also automatically decrease until your heart rate is detected.

To stop a HEART RATE program momentarily, press the STOP button. The main display will pause and the time will begin to flash. To restart the program, press the PROGRAM START button or the SPEED + button. To end the program and reset the main display, hold down the STOP button for two seconds.

Note: Minor adjustments can be made to the speed or incline of the treadmill during a HEART RATE program with the SPEED or INCLINE buttons. However, if you increase the speed, the incline will automatically decrease; if you decrease the speed, the incline will increase. If you increase the incline, the speed will decrease; if you decrease the incline, the speed will

increase. The console will always attempt to keep your heart rate near the target heart rate setting.

When the incline reaches the lowest setting, the speed cannot be increased any further. When the incline reaches the highest setting, the speed cannot be decreased any further.

Watch your progress with the main display and the BIOLOGIX display.

Conditioning Guidelines

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 those goals. Remember, your goals should act as a guide for your workout program.

Determine your target heart rate.

Your target heart rate (THR), is the rate at which you would like your heart to work during aerobic exercise. It is expressed as a percentage of your maximum heart rate (MHR). MHR is the maximum 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 MHRÑonly 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 Health level. Exercise at 70 to 85 percent of your MHR for the optimal training, aerobic, or cardiovascular levelÑ the Fitness level. Advanced exercisers, or those wishing to do sports, athletic conditioning, or interval training workouts should exercise at 80 to 85 percent of the MHR for short periods of time. The chart below shows Target Heart Rate Zones for Health, Fitness, and Advanced exercisers.

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.

FACTORS IN A SENSIBLE DIET

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

foods: fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

¥ Eat at least five servings of fruits and

vegetables each day.

¥ Cut back on red meat consumption; eat lean

meat, white meat, and fish.

¥ Choose healthy snacks; bring healthy foods

with you to work or in the car.

¥ Eat regular meals or mini-meals. Control your

portion sizeÑdon't binge or overeat. Eat slowly.

Warm up before you begin.

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

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 (refer to the drawings at the right). Be sure to move slowly as you stretchÑ never bounce.

1. Toe Touch StretchÑSit 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 StretchÑWith 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.

3. Hamstring StretchÑSit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times for both legs. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back, and groin.

4. Inner Thigh StretchÑSit 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 StretchÑWith 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.

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.

Get FIT with the PowerTread 3000L.

Effective aerobic exercise has three major parts: frequency, intensity, and time. The acronym "FIT" may help you to remember these three parts:

ÒFÓ stands for the frequency of your workouts.

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

ÒIÓ 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 hand pulse sensor or the chest pulse sensor.

ÒTÓ is for the time or duration of your workout.

Beginning exercisers may wish to start with 5 to 10 minutes of aerobic activity. Those in average physical condition should exercise for 20 to 30 minutes. Highly fit people, or people who want to lose weight, should exercise for 30 to 60 minutes. The key to the time factor is that you maintain your target heart rate for the duration of the workout period.

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 treadmill 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 27.

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."

ÑKenneth 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 injuries during the aerobic phase of your workout.

BENEFITS OF AEROBIC EXERCISE

¥ Effective weight loss and management

¥ Added protection from heart disease

¥ Increased strength and health of bones

¥ Higher levels of energy for greater productiv-

ity during the day

¥ Healthy stress relief from a pressure-packed

day

¥ Greater intellectual capacity and productivity

The Health level typically lasts four to six weeks. At this level you should be concerned with slowly improving your fitness level and endurance.

Take it slowly. Set mini-goals for yourself. You may want to begin your fitness routine with three or four short, 5- or 10-minute workouts in a day.

Move on to the Fitness Level only when you feel ready and your heart rate has moved below your target heart rate zone.

The Fitness level usually lasts 12 to 20 weeks. (It may last longer, depending on your fitness goals.) At this level you should strive to achieve your fitness goals.

Set realistic short- and long-term goals for yourself. Frequently re-evaluate your fitness goals and reward yourself as you are successful.

Move on to the Advanced Level when you have reached your fitness goals and your heart rate has moved below your target heart rate zone.

Work out at the Advanced level once you have reached your desired fitness goals. It is intended to be a maintenance program and should continue on a regular, long-term basis.

You may wish to add Interval Training to your mainte- nance program as well. Interval training will add variety to your workout routine and further condition your cardiovascular system. 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 three-minute 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.

*Estimated maximum heart rate (MHR) = 220 Ð your age.

WORKOUT TIPS

Full-body conditioning helps take care of many of 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 19. 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.
