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 exerciseÑnever 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.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of this treadmill are adequately informed of all warnings and precautions.
2. Use the treadmill only as described.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with 2 m (8 feet) of clearance behind it. Do not place the treadmill on a surface that blocks any air openings. To protect the floor or car­pet from damage, place a mat under the tread­mill.
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois­ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a garage or covered patio, or near water.
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol products are used or where oxygen is being administered.
6. Keep children and pets away from the tread­mill at all times.
7. The treadmill should be used only by persons weighing 115 kg (250 lbs) or less.
8. Never allow more than one person on the treadmill at a time.
9. Wear appropriate clothing when using the treadmill. Do not wear loose clothing that could become caught in the treadmill. Athletic support clothes are recommended for both men and women. Always wear athletic shoes.

10. When connecting the power cord (see HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD on page 7), plug the power cord on earth circuit capable of carrying 8 or more amps. No other appli­ance should be on the same circuit.
11. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 14­gauge general-purpose three cord of cable of 1,5 meters (5 feet) or less in length.
12. Keep the power cord away from heated sur­faces.
13. Never move the walking belt whilst the power is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the treadmill is not working properly. (See BE­FORE YOU BEGIN on page 4 if the treadmill is not working properly.)
14. Never start the treadmill whilst you are stand­ing on the walking belt. Always hold the handrails or upper body arms whilst using the treadmill.
15. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid sudden jumps in speed.
16. To reduce the possibility of the treadmill
overheating, do not operate the treadmill continuously for longer than 1 hour.
17. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user's move­ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown in the drawings below. Move slowly as you stretchÑnever 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

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning
this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for in­dividuals over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-existing health problems.
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. RememberÑthese are general guide­lines. 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 carbohydrate calories for en­ergy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn 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
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys­tem, your exercise must be Òaerobic.Ó 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 train­ing 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,

80 120-146 115-140
85 118-144 114-139
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 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 control on the console to PERFOR­MANCE to help you maintain the proper intensity level. (See pages 8 and 9.)
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 increas­ing 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).
Unconditioned Conditioned
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.
18. Never leave the treadmill unattended whilst it is running. Always remove the key when the treadmill is not in use.
19. You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds
(20 kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
20. When folding or moving the treadmill, make sure that the storage latch is fully closed.
21. Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill every three months.
22. Never insert any object into any opening.
23. Always unplug the power cord before per­forming the maintenance and adjustment procedures described in this manual. Never remove the motor hood unless instructed to do so by an authorised service representa­tive. Servicing other than the procedures in this manual should be performed by an au­thorised service representative only.
