the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column.

As you pedal, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate, the resistance of the pedals will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.

The program will continue until the target heart rate setting for the last segment is shown in the Current Segment column and no time remains in the right display.

Note: During the program, you can change the resistance setting, if desired, by pressing the Resistance buttons. However, when the console compares your heart rate to the tar get heart rate, the resistance may automatically change.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the elliptical

xerciser regularly. Replace any worn parts immedi-

e ately.

PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

If the handgrip pulse sensor does not function properly, see step 5 on page 9.

CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING

If turning on the fan resets the console displays, or if the displays becomes dim, the batteries should be replaced. Most console problems are the result of low batteries. See assembly step 7 on page 6 for replacement instructions.

calories for ener-

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.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results.

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 recommended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.

For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone as you exercise.

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 intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone as you exercise.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three parts:

A warm-up, consisting of 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.

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 are your “training zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Fat Burning

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.

Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising 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.)

A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help 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. cise, 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.

After a few months of regular exer-
