T sor, please read the following instructions.

HOW TO ADJUST THE HEADBAND

For the pulse sensor to function properly, the headband should fit snugly around your head, without being uncomfortable.

To adjust the headband, insert the adjustment tab through one of the holes in the headband.

Note: Each time you exercise, the headband may expand slightly during the first few minutes of use. It may be necessary to readjust the headband periodically.

HOW TO PUT ON THE PULSE SENSOR

Rub your forehead briefly to stimulate circulation. Put on the headband as shown below, with the sensor window centered on your forehead. Make sure that there is no hair between the sensor window and your forehead. Attach the clothes clip to your collar. The clothes clip will reduce the movement of the pulse sensor wire, helping to ensure accurate pulse readings.

ISPLAY). For the best results, remember the follow-

D ing important guidelines:

1. Before putting on the headband, rub your forehead briefly to stimulate circulation.

2. Make sure that the headband fits snugly, without being uncomfortable. If the headband is too loose or too tight, your pulse may not be detected.

3. The headband must be worn with the sensor window centered on your forehead. Make sure that there is no hair between the sensor window and your forehead. Make-up applied to the forehead may interfere with pulse readings. Note: If the pulse sensor does not detect your pulse when the sensor window is centered on your forehead, try positioning the sensor window above your right or left eyebrow. Depending on the shape of your forehead, it may be easier to detect your pulse from a different position.

4. Make sure that the pulse sensor wire is fully plugged into the jack on the console.

5. Because your pulse constantly changes, the pulse

sensor will sample your pulse every few seconds. When you first put on the pulse sensor, it may take up to ten seconds for an accurate pulse to be shown.

6. Avoid excessive head movement during exercise.

7. The sensor window should be cleaned weekly when the treadmill is used regularly. Moisten a cotton swab with water, and carefully wipe the sensor window.

The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors, including your movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The 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—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 burn fat, strengthen your cardiovascular system, or increase your athletic performance, you can tailor your exercise to your specific goals. The key to achieving the desired results is to exercise 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 ergy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until the FAT BURN indicator is lit. (See TRAINING ZONE MONITOR on page 13.)

Aerobic Exercise

If your 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 blood to 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 maximum 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 according to age and physical condition.

During the first few months of your exercise program,

keep your pulse near the low end of your training zone as you exercise. After a few months of regular exercise, your pulse can be gradually increased until it 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 intensity of your exercise. It may also be helpful to adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until the AEROBIC indicator is lit. (See TRAINING ZONE MONITOR on page 13.)

Performance Training

If your goal is high performance athletic conditioning, adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until the PERFORMANCE indicator is lit. (See TRAINING ZONE MONITOR on page 13.)

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include three parts: (1) a warmup, (2) training zone exercise, and (3) a cool-down.

Warm-up

Warming up prepares 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 23).

Training Zone Exercise

fter warming up, increase the intensity of your exer-

A cise until your pulse is in your training zone for 20 to

0 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exer-

6 cise 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.

Cool-down

Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

to cool down. 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. 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.

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 hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for both legs. 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 both legs. 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.
