OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBE _, a high-performance lubricant. Dudng the first few hours of use, a small amount of white powder may accumulate on the foot rails and the walking platform. The white powder is high-pedor- mance lubricantfrom the walking belt. Never apply sili- cone 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

This product must be grounded. If itshould malfunc- tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electric current to reduce the riskof elec- tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, Plug the power cord into an appropriate out- let that Is properly Installed and grounded in ac- cordance with all local codes and ordinances.

STEP BY STEP CONSOLE OPERATION

The treadmill console features a manual mode and six

preset workout programs. In the manual mode, the speed of the walking belt can be changed with the elec- tronicspeed control. When one of the workout programs isselected, the console will automatically control the speed as it guides you through an effective workout.

Before operating the

console, make sure that the on/off switch

near the power cord is in the "on" position.

If the SAFEKEY is in the console, remove it. Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged in. (See HOW

TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD on page 7.)

Next, step onto the foot railsof the treadmill. Find the

clip attached to the SAFEKEY (see the drawing above),

and slide the clip onto the waistband of your clothing. Follow the steps below to operate the console:

Each time the walkino belt Is

stoooed, the soeed control

must be moved to the "RESET" oosltlon before the

walklna belt can be restarted. Next, slide the speed control

upward to select a speed set- ting. Note: If the SAFEKEY was just inserted, or if the walking belt was stopped with the START/STOP button,

peatedlypress the SELECT MODE button.

Note: PROGRAMS A, B, and C are twenty-minute programs; PROGRAMS D, E, and F are thirty-

minute programs. The speed profiles in the center of the console show how the speed of the walking

belt willchange during the programs. DuringPRO- GRAM A, for example, the speed will gradually in- crease dudng the first ten minutes, and then gradu- ally decrease during the last ten minutes. Each pro- gram will begin with a two-minute warm-up pedod, and end with a two-minute cool-down period.

D Press the START/STOP button.

After the

START/STOP button is pressed, the walk-

ing belt will begin to move. Hold the handrails and care-

fully begin walking on the walking belt.

Ifthe console is in the manual mode, change the

speed of the walking belt as desired by sliding

the speed control. To stop the walking belt, slide the

speed controlto the "RESET" position.

If one of the preset programs is selected, the speed setting you selected will be the minimum speed set- ting for the program. The speed of the walking belt will then change automatically dudng the program as shown by the speed profiles in the center of the con- sole. When the program is completed, the walking belt will automatically slow to a stop. Note: If the in- tensity level of the program is too easy or too difficult, adjust the speed control to select a new minimum speed setting. To stop the program temporarily, slide the speed control to the "RESET" position. To restart the program, slide the speed control up to the desired position. To terminate the program before the pro-

gram is completed, press the START/STOP button.

CONDITIONING "' .... ""L,:,L)=LIN=S

The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-

ercise program. Remember--these are general guide- lines. For more detailed information about exercise,

obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether you want to bum fat, strengthen your cardio- vascular system, or increase your athletic perfor- mance, you can tailor your exercise to your specific goals. The key to achieving the desired results is to ex- ercise with the proper intensity.

Burning Fat

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 for en- ergy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does

your body beg(n to use stored fat ca/ories for energy.

If your goal is to bum fat, set the speed control on the

console to FAT BURN to help you maintain the proper

intensity level. (See pages 8 and 9.)

Aerobic Exercise

Ifyour 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 bloodto the muscles, and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. The proper intensity level for aerobic exercise can be found by using your pulse as a guide. As you exercise, your pulse should be kept at a level between 70% and 85% of your maxi- mum possible heart rate. This is known as your train- ing zone. You can find your training zone in the table at the top of this page. Training zones are listed ac- cording to age and physical condition.

14 During the first few months of your exercise program,

119-145 118-144 117-142 115-140 114-139

keep your pulse near the low end of your training zone as you exercise. After a few months of regular exer- cise, your pulse can be gradually increased untilit is near the middle of your training zone as you exercise. You can measure your pulse using the pulse sensor. Exercise for about four minutes, and then measure your pulse immediately. If your pulse is too high or too low, adjust the intensityof your exercise. It may also be helpful to set the speed control on the console to AEROBIC to help you maintain the proper intensity level. (See pages 8 and 9.)

Performance Training

If your goal is high performance athletic conditioning, set the speed controlon the console to PERFOR-

MANCE to help you maintain the proper intensity level. (See pages 8 and 9.)

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout shouldinclude three parts: (1) a warm- up, (2) training zone exercise, and (3) a cool-down.

Warm-up

Warming upprepares the body for exercise by increas-

ing circulation, delivering more oxygen to the muscles

and raising the body temperature. Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise to warm up (see SUGGESTED STRETCHES on page 15).

The key to success is to make exercise a regular and

enjoyable part of your everyday life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown in the

drawings below. Move slowly as you stretch--never bounce.

1.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 both legs. 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 hipstoward the wall. Hold for 15 counts,then relax.

Repeat 3 times for both legs. To cause further stretchingof the

achilles tendons, bend your back leg as we!l. 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 both legs, Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

5. Inner Thigh Stretch
