FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The treadmill console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable. When the manual mode of the console is
selected, the speed and incline of the treadmill can be
changed with the touch of a button. As you exercise,
the console will display continuous exercise feedback.
You can even measure your heart rate using the builtin pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor (see
page 23).
The console also features four personal trainer programs. Each program automatically controls the speed
and incline of the treadmill as it guides you through an
effective workout. In addition, the console offers four
calorie goal programs that control the speed and incline
of the treadmill to help you burn unwanted pounds.
Key

The console also offers four heart rate programs that
control the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep
your heart rate near a target heart rate during your
workouts. Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse
sensor to use the heart rate programs.
You can even listen to your favorite workout music or
audio books with the console’s MP3 stereo sound system.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 16. To use a personal trainer

HOW TO USE THE STEREO SOUND SYSTEM
During both heart rate programs, the console will
regularly compare your heart rate to the current
target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too
far below or above the target heart rate setting,
the speed of the walking belt will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer
to the target heart rate setting. If the speed of the
walking belt reaches 12 Km/H and your heart rate
is still too far below the target heart rate setting,
the incline of the treadmill will also increase.
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low
at any time during the program, you can adjust the
setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However,
each time the console compares your heart rate to
the target heart rate setting, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automatically change to
bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.
To play music or audio books through the console’s
stereo speakers, you must connect your MP3 player or
CD player to the console. Plug one end of the included
3.5mm to 3.5mm stereo audio cable into a jack on your
MP3 player or CD player. Plug the other end of the
cable into the input jack on the console. Make sure
that both ends of the audio cable are fully plugged
in.
Next, press the Play button on your MP3 player or CD
player. Then, adjust the volume of your MP3 player or
CD player.
If you are using a portable CD player and the CD
skips, set the CD player on the floor or another flat surface instead of on the console.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physi-
ian. This is especially important for individu-
c
als over the age of 35 or individuals with preexisting health problems.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including your 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
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.
begin to use stored
is to burn fat, adjust the speed and incline of the tread-
ill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in
m
your training zone.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed and 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 and incline of the treadmill until your
heart rate is near the highest number in your training
zone.
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.
fat calories
for energy. If your goal
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 “training zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the higher 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.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible
ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body
carbohydrate calories
for en-
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 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the
flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent postexercise 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.
