n the lowest position. Next, step onto the other pedal.
i
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.

OW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE
H
PEDALS
As you exercise,
ou can adjust
y
the resistance of
the pedals with

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
HOW TO OPERATE THE CONSOLE
The console is designed to help you get the most
rom your workouts. As you exercise, you can watch
f
your progress around the LED track, while the
isplay provides continuous exercise feedback.
d
The six modes of the display are described below.
LED Track
Speed—This mode displays your current exercise
speed, in miles per hour.
Time—This mode displays the length of time you
have exercised. Note: If you stop exercising, the time
mode will pause until you resume.
Distance—This mode displays the total distance you
have completed, in miles.
Laps—This mode displays the number of 1/4-mile
laps you have completed around the LED track.
If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of
he console, remove it.
t
. To turn on the power, press the on/reset button or
1
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 mode—
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 mode—
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.)
Mode Indicators
Calorie—This mode displays the approximate number
of Calories you have burned.
Scan—This 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 “AA” batteries must be installed. If you have not installed batteries, see assembly step 7 on page 8.
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 “auto-off”
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.

HSE700
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
he HSE700 can be wiped clean with a soft cloth and
T
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
f your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your
I
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 “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 intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the largest number in your
training zone.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
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 “training
zone.” 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
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.
12
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
xercise program, do not keep your heart rate in
e
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.
SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown 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
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three work-
uts each week, with at least one day of rest between
o
workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you
m
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.
ay plan up to five workouts each week, if desired.
1
2
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.
