OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBE

, a high-performance lubricant. IMPOR-

TANT: Never apply silicone 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 earthed. If it should malfunction or break

down, earthing provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and a earthing plug. Plug one end of the cord into the treadmill. Plug the

power cord into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Use only a power cord type H05VV-F with a conductor of at least 1mm

, with a country recognised plug and an appliance coupler.

DANGER:Improper connection of the

equipment-earthing conductor can result in an increased risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly earthed. Do not modify the plug provided with the product—if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

6. Attach the Storage Latch (12) to the left Upright (14) with

two Latch Screws (35). Be careful not to overtighten

the Screws.

7. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened before you use the treadmill. Note: After the treadmill is

assembled, some hardware may be left over. Make sure to save the included allen wrench for adjusting the walking belt. To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.

Follow your progress with the four displays.

Note: The console can display distance and speed in either kilometres or miles (see page 10).

TIME display—This display shows the total time that you have walked or run on the treadmill.

DISTANCE display—This display shows the total distance that you have walked or run.

SPEED display—This display shows the speed of the walking belt.

CALORIES/PULSE display—This display

shows the approximate numbers of calories and fat calories you have burned. (See FAT BURNING on page 14 for an explanation of fat calories.) Every seven seconds, the display will change from one number to the other. Arrows in the display will indicate which number is currently shown. Note: This display will also show your pulse when the pulse sensor is used.

The displays can be reset, if desired, by pressing the on/reset button.

Measure your pulse, if desired.

To use the pulse sensor, stand on the foot rails and place your thumb on the pulse sensor as shown. The pulse sensor is pressureactivated—fully press it down. Do not

press too hard, or the circulation in your thumb will be restricted, and your pulse will not be detected. Next, raise

your thumb slightly until the heart-shaped indicator in the calories/pulse display flashes steadily. Hold your thumb at this level. After 5 to 10 seconds, your pulse will be shown. Hold your thumb on the pulse sensor for another 15 seconds for the most accurate reading. If the displayed pulse appears to be too high or too low, or if your pulse is not displayed, lift your thumb off the pulse sensor and allow the display to reset. Press down again on the sensor as described above.

Make sure that your thumb is positioned as shown, and that you are applying the proper amount of pressure to the pulse sensor. Try the pulse sensor several times until you become familiar with it. Remember to stand still whilst measuring your pulse.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember—these are general guidelines only. 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.

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age at the top of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers below your age. The three numbers are 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.

To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the pulse sensor on the console. If your heart rate is too high or too low, adjust the speed of the treadmill as needed.

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 carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate in the lower half of your training zone. (See page 9.)

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 high end of your training zone. (See page 9.)

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three parts:

Warming 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.

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.

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 post-exercise problems.

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 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 sensor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown in the drawings at the right. 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.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest be-

tween 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.
