HOW TO USE THE PROFORM¨REVOLUTION
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE REVOLUTION
To mount the REVOLUTION, firmly hold both handle­bars and carefully step onto the pedal that is in the lowest position. Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous motion. Note: The pedal disks can turn in either
direction; it is recommended that you turn the pedal disks in the direction shown below; however, to give variety to your exercise, you may choose to turn the pedal disks in the opposite direction.
To dismount the REVOLUTION, allow the pedals to come to a complete stop. CAUTION: The REVOLU-
TION does not have a freewheel; the pedals will continue to move until the flywheel stops. When
the pedals are stationary, step off the highest pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE PEDALS
As you exercise, you can adjust the resistance of the pedals with the resistance knob on the console. To increase the resistance, turn the knob clockwise; to decrease the resistance, turn the knob counterclockwise.
HOW TO USE THE HANDLEBARS IN THE STATIONARY POSITION
To focus on lower-body exercise, the handlebars can be locked in a stationary position. To do this, align the holes in the handlebars with the holes in the upright. Next, insert the lock knobs into the handlebars and tighten them into the upright (see the drawing below). Note: If it is difficult to insert the lock knobs, twist the handlebars slightly in order to align the holes; do not
twist the handlebars too far or they may be damaged.
HOW TO USE THE HANDLEBARS IN THE DUAL-MOTION POSITION
To add upper­body exercise to your workout, remove the lock knobs from the handlebars and the upright. Align the lower holes in the handle­bars with the holes in the link arms. Insert the lock knobs into the link arms and tighten them into the handlebars.
To exercise, move the handlebars forward and back­ward as you pedal. Be sure to keep your back straight and your knees bent slightly.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The console is designed to help you get the most from your workouts. As you exercise, you can watch your progress around the LED track, while the display provides continuous exercise feedback. The six modes of the display are described below.
SpeedÑThis mode displays your current exercise speed, in miles per hour.
TimeÑThis mode displays the length of time you have exercised. Note: If you stop exercising, the time mode will pause until you resume.
DistanceÑThis mode displays the total distance you have completed, in miles.
LapsÑThis mode displays the number of 1/4-mile laps you have completed around the LED track.
CalorieÑThis mode displays the approximate number of Calories you have burned.
ScanÑThis mode displays the speed, time, distance, laps, and calorie modes, for 5 seconds each, in a repeating cycle.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Before the console can be operated, two ÒAAÓ batter­ies must be installed. If you have not installed batter­ies, see assembly step 7 on page 8.
HOW TO OPERATE THE CONSOLE
If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove it.
1. To turn on the power, press the on/reset button or simply begin exercising. When the power is turned on, one LED indicator will light in the LED track, and the entire display will appear for two seconds. The console will then be ready for operation.
2. Select one of the five modes:
Scan modeÑ 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 a different mode is selected, you can select the scan mode again by repeatedly pressing the mode button.
Speed, time, distance, laps, or calorie modeÑ To select one of these modes for continuous display, press the mode button repeatedly. The mode indicators will show which mode is selected. (Make sure that the scan mode is not selected.)
3. The LED track represents a distance of 1/4 mile. As you exercise, the indicators around the track will light one at a time until you have completed 1/4 mile. A new lap will then begin.
4. To reset the display, press the on/reset button.
5. To turn off the power, simply wait for about four minutes. Note: The console has an Òauto-offÓ
feature. If the pedals are not moved and the console buttons are not pressed for four minutes, the power will turn off automatically in order to conserve the batteries.

MAINTENANCE
Inspect and tighten all parts of the REVOLUTION regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
The REVOLUTION can be wiped clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. To prevent damage to the console, keep liquids away from the console. Use only a sealable water bottle in the console.
CONSOLE TROUBLE-SHOOTING
If the console does not function properly, the batteries should be replaced. To replace the batteries, refer to assembly step 7 on page 8.
STORAGE
When storing the REVOLUTION, remove the batteries from the console. Keep the REVOLUTION in a clean, dry location, away from moisture and dust.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following 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 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, maximum fat burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age at 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 are your Òtraining zone.Ó The smallest number is the recommended heart rate for fat burning; the middle number is the heart rate for maximum fat burning; the largest number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
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, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the smallest number in your training zone as you exercise.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise 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 the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the largest number in your training zone.
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 rate. For example, if your six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. (A six-second count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop exercising.)
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three important parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretch­ing and light exercise. (See page 13.) A proper warm­up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
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.
13
SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. 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 each leg. 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 each leg. 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 each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

4
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help to prevent post-exercise problems.
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 plan up to five workouts each week, if desired.
Caution: Be sure to progress at your own pace and avoid overdoing it. Incorrect or excessive training may result in injury to your health.
Remember, the key to success is make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
