indicators on the console remain lit after the key is removed, the console is in the “demo” mode. See page 23 and turn off the demo mode.

When you are finished using the treadmill, switch the reset/off circuit breaker to the off position and unplug the power cord.

OW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS

CAUTION: If you have heart prob-

lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and have been inactive, do not use the heart rate programs. If you are taking medication regu-

arly, consult your physician to find whether

l the medication will affect your exercise heart rate.

Put on the optional chest pulse sensor.

You must wear the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 23) to use a heart rate program. See

the instructions included with the chest pulse sensor.

Insert the key fully into the console.

See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 12.

Select a heart rate program.

When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be selected. To select a heart rate program, press the Program Select button repeatedly until one of the two heart rate program indicators lights.

The diagrams beside the heart rate program indicators show how the target heart rate will change during the programs. During the 85% Max program, your heart rate will reach approximately 85% of your ing the Self Select program, your heart rate will re main near a level that you select.Note: Your estimated maximum heart rate is determined by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 – 30 = 190).

Enter your age.

When a heart rate program is selected, the word “AGE” and the current age setting will flash in the Calories/Pulse display. If you have already entered your age, simply press the Enter button. If you have not entered your age, press the increase and decrease buttons beside the Enter button to enter your age. Then, press the Enter button.

Enter a maximum speed.

After you have entered your age, the letters “SPd” and the maximum speed setting of the program will flash in the Speed display. If desired, press the increase and decrease buttons beside the Enter button to adjust the maximum speed setting. When the desired setting is shown, press the Enter button.

If the 85% Max program is selected, go to step

7. If the Self Select program is selected, go to step 6.

Enter a target heart rate.

The letters “PLS” and

the target heart rate setting for the program will flash in the Calories/ Pulse display. If desired, press the increase and decrease buttons beside the Enter button to adjust the target heart rate setting. When the desired setting is shown, press the Enter button.

Press the Start button or the Speed increase

button to start the program.

A moment after the button is pressed, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the first speed and

ncline settings of the program. Hold the handrails

i and begin walking.

If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low at any time during the program, you can adjust the

etting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However,

s each time the console compares your heart rate to

he current target heart rate, the speed and/or in-

t cline of the treadmill may automatically change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.

Each heart rate program is divided into several time segments of different lengths. One target heart rate is programmed for each segment. Note: If the Self Select program is selected, the same target heart rate is programmed for all segments.

During each segment, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the current target heart rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate, the speed of the treadmill will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate. If the speed reaches the maximum speed setting of the program (see step 5 on page 16) and your heart rate is still too far below the current target heart rate, the incline of the treadmill will also increase to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.

During the last three seconds of each segment, a series of tones will sound and the Speed display and the Distance/Incline display will flash.

The program will continue until the last segment ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.

If your pulse is not detected during the program, the letters “PLS” will flash in the Calories/Pulse display and the speed and incline of the treadmill may automatically decrease until your pulse is detected. If this occurs, see the instructions included with the optional chest pulse sensor.

To stop the program at any time, press the Stop button. Heart rate programs cannot be stopped temporarily and then restarted. To use a heart rate program again, reselect the program and start it at the beginning.

Follow your progress with the displays.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: Before beginning this

or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individu-

ls over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-

a existing health problems.

The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors, including the user's movement, 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.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For more detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body begin to use stored is to burn fat, adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in

our training zone.

For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone.

Aerobic Exercise

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, 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 or incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone.

fat calories

for energy. If your goal

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 recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.

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 highest number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

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 calories

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 increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation 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 Cool-down—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-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, 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.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

he correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.

. Toe Touch Stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and back.

2. Hamstring Stretch

Sit 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 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and groin.

3. 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 counts, 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.

4. 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 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

5. 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 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
