DIAGRAM OF THE CONSOLE
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The innovative console offers a manual mode and
three pacer programs. The pacer programs are
designed to help you achieve specific exercise goals
by pacing your exercise. The programs include a stamina-building Interval program, an Aerobic program,
and a special Fat Burn program. Whether you select
the manual mode or one of the pacer programs, the
console will provide continuous exercise feedback during your workouts. Please read pages 6 and 7 before
operating the console.
HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE
When you use a
pacer program, two
columns of bars will
appear in the display. The left column
The graphs on the left side of the console show how
the target pace will change during the programs.
Look at the graphs for a moment (see the drawing
above). Each graph is divided into ten columns, with
six bars in each column. The columns represent twominute time periods, and the red bars show what the
target pace will be. In the first column of the Fat Burn
graph, for example, there is one red bar. This shows
that during the first two minutes of the Fat Burn program, the target pace will be 25 repetitions per minute
(see the scale at the right end of the graph). In the second column there are five red bars. This shows that
during the second two-minute time period, the target
pace will be about 40 repetitions per minute. Note:
Because there are ten two-minute periods, each program will last for twenty minutes.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MONITOR MODES
The six monitor modes provide continuous exercise
Note: If there is a thin sheet
of clear plastic on the face of
the console, remove it.
¥ DistanceÑThis mode shows the total number of
repetitions you have completed, up to 999. The display will then reset to zero and continue counting.
¥ Fat calories (FAT CALS)ÑThis mode shows the
approximate number of fat calories you have
burned. (See BURNING FAT on page 9 for an
explanation of fat calories.)
¥ Calories (CALS)ÑThis mode shows the approxi-
mate number of calories you have burned. (This
approximate number includes both the fat calories
and carbohydrate calories. See BURNING FAT on
page 9.)
¥ ScanÑThis mode displays the calories, fat calories,
reps per minute, time, and distance modes, for 5
seconds each, in a repeating cycle.
STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION
Before the console can be operated, two ÒAAÓ batteries must be installed. (See assembly step 3 on
page 4 for installation instructions.) Follow the steps
below to operate the console.
Turn on the power
To turn on the
console power,
press the
on/reset button
or simply begin
exercising on
the R-950. When the power is turned on, the
entire display will appear for two seconds. The
console will then be ready for use. Note: If batteries were just installed, the power will already be
on.
Select one of the three pacer programs or the
manual mode
To select one of
the pacer programs, repeatedly press the
program button.
Begin your workout
If you selected
the manual
mode, go to
step 4. If you
selected one of
the pacer programs, two
columns of
bars will
appear in the
display. The left column will show one bar, showing that the target pace is 40 repetitions per
minute. The right column will show your actual
pace. Adjust your pace until only one bar appears
in the right column. As the program progresses,
the target pace will change periodically; as the
target pace changes, adjust your pace to keep
both columns at the same height. Important: The
target pace is a goal pace. Your actual pace
may be slower than the target pace, especially
during the first few months of your exercise
program. Be sure to exercise at a pace that is
comfortable for you.
Follow your progress with the monitor modes
When the
power is turned
on, the scan
mode will automatically be
selected. One
mode indicator
will show that
the scan mode
is selected, and
a flashing mode indicator will show which mode is
currently displayed. Note: If you select a different
mode, you can select the scan mode again by
repeatedly pressing the mode button.
If desired, you can select the speed, time, distance, fat calories, or calories mode for full-time
display. To select one of these modes, repeatedly
press the mode button. The mode indicators will
show which mode is selected. (Make sure that the

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following general 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 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.
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, look above your age and
find the three numbers in light grey boxes. The three
numbers are your Òtraining zone.Ó The lowest number
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If
your goal is to burn fat, adjust your pace until your
heart rate is near the lowest number in your training
zone as you exercise. It may also be helpful to set the
collar at the front of the resistance cylinder to level 1,
2, 3, or 4.
For maximum fat burning, adjust your pace 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 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. For aerobic exercise,
adjust your pace until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone. It may also be helpful to set the collar at the front of the resistance cylinder to level 5, 6, 7, or 8.
Strength Training
To strengthen and tone your muscles, you must exercise your muscles at a moderate to high percentage of
their capacity. Set the collar at the front of the resistance cylinder to level 9, 10, 11, or 12.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart rate, first exercise for at least
four minutes. Then, stop exercising and place two fingers on your
wrist as
shown. Take a
six-second
heartbeat
count, and
multiply the
result by 10 to
find your heart
WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is
especially important for persons over the age
of 35 or persons with pre-existing health
problems.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, lasting 5 to 10 minutes. Begin with slow,
controlled stretches, and progress to more rhythmic
stretches to increase the body temperature, heart rate,
and circulation in preparation for strenuous exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone.
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
Thorough stretching helps to offset problems caused
when you stop exercising suddenly. Stretching for
increased flexibility is also most effective after exercising. A proper cool-down should leave you relaxed and
comfortably tired.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week, if desired.
Remember, the key to success is make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
