HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR

Before you use the heart rate monitor, please read all instructions on this page and the following page.

The heart rate monitor consists of two components: the chest strap and the sensor unit.

Refer to drawing 2 and attach the chest strap to the sensor unit. Insert one of the tabs on the chest strap through one end of the sensor unit. Make sure to press the end of the sensor unit under the buckle on the chest strapÑthe tab should be almost flush with the sensor unit.

Next, wrap the heart rate monitor around your chest and attach the other end of the chest strap to the sensor unit. Adjust the length of the chest strap, if necessary.

The heart rate monitor should be under your clothing, tight against your skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the logo on the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-sideup.

Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side. The electrode areas are the areas covered by shallow ridges. Using saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit to a position against your chest.

HEART RATE MONITOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE

¥ Thoroughly dry the heart rate monitor after each

use. The heart rate monitor is activated when the electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate monitor is put on; the heart rate monitor shuts off when it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If the heart rate monitor is not dried after each use, it may remain activated longer than necessary, draining the battery prematurely.

¥ Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place. Do

not store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag or other container that may trap moisture.

¥ Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct

sunlight for extended periods of time

¥ Do not expose the heart rate monitor to tempera-

tures above 122¡ Fahrenheit (50¡ Celsius) or below 14¡ Fahrenheit (-10¡ Celsius).

¥ Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit

when using or storing the heart rate monitor.

¥ Clean the sensor unit periodically using a damp

cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest strap may be hand washed and air dried.

HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

The instructions on the following pages explain how the heart rate monitor is used with the console. If the letters ÒPLSÓ appear in the PULSE display or if the displayed heart rate is excessively high or low, try the steps below.

¥ Make sure that the heart rate monitor is under your

clothing, tight against your skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. In addition, make sure that the logo on the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-side-up. Note: If the heart rate monitor does not function when positioned as described, try moving it slightly lower or higher on your chest.

¥ Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens

solution to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.

¥ As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-

self near the center of the walking belt. For the

console to display heart rate readings, the user must be within armÕs length of the console.

¥ The heart rate monitor is designed to work with

people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate reading problems may be caused by medical conditions such as premature ventricular contractions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

¥ The operation of the heart rate monitor can be

affected by magnetic interference caused by high power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.

¥ The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced.

Follow the steps at the right to replace the battery.

Locate the battery cover on the back of the sensor unit. Insert a coin into the slot in the cover and turn the cover counterclockwise to the ÒopenÓ position. Remove the cover.

Remove the old battery from the sensor unit. Insert a new CR 2032 battery, making sure that the writing is on top. In addition, make sure that the rubber gasket is in place in the sensor unit. Replace the battery cover and turn it to the closed position.

TREADMILL OPERATION

THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.

IMPORTANT: 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

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by sudden voltage changes in your homeÕs power. Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can result from weather conditions or from other appliances being turned on or off.

To decrease the possibility of your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge protector (not included) with your treadmill.

Surge protectors are sold at most hardware stores and department stores. Use only a ULlisted surge protector, rated at 15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or less in length.

This product must be grounded. If it should

malfunction or break down, grounding 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-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a surge

protector, and plug the surge protector into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be used to connect the surge protector to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box

covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is grounded before using an adapter.

DANGER: Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding 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 grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the productÑif it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers an impressive array of features to make your workouts more effective. When the console is in the manual mode, the speed, incline and cushion level of the treadmill can be changed with a touch of a button. As you exercise, the LED displays will provide continuous exercise feedback.

The console also offers thirteen preset workout programs: five speed programs automatically control the speed of the treadmill as they guide you through effective workouts; five incline programs automatically control the incline of the treadmill; two pulse programs automatically control the speed and the incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate within a predetermined range during your workouts; and a pulse-based fitness test program estimates the relative fitness level you have achieved.

You can even create custom workout programs and store them in the consoleÕs memory for future use.

In addition, the console features a workout history mode that keeps track of the total hours you have exercised, the miles you have walked or run, the calories and fat calories you have burned, and your average speed. The console can display the totals for the previous 7 days or the totals since you last reset the workout history mode.

CAUTION: Before operating the

console, read the following precautions.

¥ Do not stand on the walking belt when turn-

ing on the power or starting the walking belt.

¥ Always wear the clip (see O above) while

operating the treadmill. If the key is pulled from the console, the walking belt will stop.

¥ The treadmill is capable of high speeds;

adjust the speed in small increments.

¥ The heart rate monitor is not a medical de-

vice. Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

¥ If you have heart problems, or if you are over

60 years of age and have been inactive, do

not use the three pulse-driven programs. If you are taking medication regularly, consult your physician to find whether the medication will affect your exercise heart rate.

¥ To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep the

console dry. Avoid spilling liquid on the console and use only a sealable water bottle.

Note: If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove it.

When only three seconds remain in the first period, both the CURRENT PERIOD column and the column to the right will flash and three tones will sound. All speed or incline settings will then move one column to the left. The setting of the second period will then be shown in the CURRENT PERIOD column and the treadmill will automatically adjust to that setting.

If an incline program is selected, the speed of the treadmill can be changed during the program with the SPEED buttons or the QUICK SPEED buttons. If a speed program is selected, the incline of the treadmill can be changed with the INCLINE buttons.

The program will continue until the speed or incline setting of the last period is shown in the CURRENT PERIOD column of the LED matrix and the TIME display counts down to zero. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.

If the program is too easy or too difficult, the intensity of the program can be adjusted. If a speed program is selected, press the SPEED buttons or the QUICK SPEED buttons to adjust the maximum speed setting; if an incline program is selected, press the INCLINE buttons to adjust the maximum incline setting (see step 5 on page 14).

To stop the program for a moment, press the STOP button. The displays will pause and the TIME display will begin to flash. To restart the program, press the START button or the SPEED

+ button. To end the program at any time, hold down the STOP button for two seconds. The MANUAL mode will then be selected.

The heart rate setting of the first period will be shown in the flashing CURRENT PERIOD column. The settings of the next eighteen periods will be shown in the eighteen columns to the right.

When only three seconds remain in the first period, both the CURRENT PERIOD column and the column to the right will flash and three tones will sound. All heart rate settings will then move one column to the left. The setting of the second period will then be shown in the CURRENT PERIOD column.

As the program progresses, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will change at any time to keep your heart rate near the setting shown in the CURRENT PERIOD column. The program will continue until the heart rate setting of the last period is shown in the CURRENT PERIOD column and the TIME display counts down to zero. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.

If your heart rate is not detected during the program, the letters ÒPLSÓ will flash in the PULSE display and the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automatically decrease. (See HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING on page 7.)

While the program is in progress, minor adjustments can be made to the speed or incline of the treadmill with the SPEED or INCLINE buttons. However, if you increase the speed, the incline will automatically decrease; if you decrease the speed, the incline will increase. If you increase the incline, the speed will decrease; if you decrease the incline, the speed will increase. The console will always

attempt to keep your heart rate near the heart rate setting shown in the CURRENT PERIOD column.

Note: When the incline reaches the lowest setting, the speed cannot be increased any further. When the incline reaches the highest setting, the speed cannot be decreased any further.

WALKING AND CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE

Scientific studies confirm that walking at a moderate to brisk pace can enhance aerobic fitness. Rippe and his colleagues1found that of 500 subjects tested, 67% of the men and 90% of the women were able to reach their target heart rates by walking 4 to 4.5 miles per hour.

Pollock and his colleagues2found that middle-aged men who walked at a pace of 3.5 to 4.5 miles per hour for 40 minutes four times per week had the same cardiovascular improvements as men the same age who jogged for 30 minutes three times per week. Although the intensity of exercise was lower for the walkers than the runners, the increased duration and frequency of walking provided the walkers with similar aerobic benefits as the runners.

On the basis of current research, it seems clear that walking at a moderate to brisk pace can be an excellent aerobic activity.

WALKING AND REDUCED RISK FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

Several studies have found that regular walking at any speed can increase HDL-C cholesterol (a high-density lipoprotein which removes excess cholesterol from the body) and can lower concentrations of blood triglycerides (a storage form of fat), thus reducing the risk for cardiovascular disease.

Duncan and his colleagues3concluded that exercise does not have to be vigorous to reduce cardiovascular risk factors. In other words, people who choose to stroll rather than walk briskly can reduce their risk for cardiovascular disease.

After studying the physical activity patterns of 17,000 Harvard alumni over a 20-year period, Paffenbarger and his colleagues4concluded that walking as little as five city blocks per day can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and walking 2 miles per day can reduce the risk of a heart attack by 28% or more. Therefore, while walking at a fast pace will improve aerobic fitness, walking at any speed (slow or fast) can reduce a person's risk for heart disease.

WALKING AND WEIGHT REDUCTION

Walking is an excellent activity for burning calories. The steeper the incline and/or the faster the speed, the more calories are burned. For example, a 150-pound person walking at 3.5 miles per hour on flat ground will burn about 300 calories per hour. This same person will burn 400 calories per hour on a gentle 4% incline and 500 calories per hour on a steeper 10% incline. If this person speeds the pace up to 4 miles per hour on level ground, 350 calories will be burned in one hour.

It should be noted that participants who do not wish to walk at faster speeds can burn a comparable number of calories by walking for longer periods of time.

WALKING AND BONE DENSITY

Osteoporosis is a major health problem in the United States, affecting an estimated 15 to 30 million people. An age-related disorder, osteoporosis reduces the density of bones. This disease can be life-threatening since many older people die as a result of complications suffered from broken bones. Adequate calcium in the diet and weight-bearing exercises seem to reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

REEBOK UNIVERSITY

Page 26

Several studies have reported that regular walking at moderate to brisk speeds appears to increase bone density. Specifically, Fradin and his colleagues6found that 70-year-old subjects who walked at least 30 minutes per day had higher bone mineral content than subjects who walked less than 30 minutes per day. Jones and his colleagues7reported that sedentary women (aged 30 to 61 years old) who began a regular walking program and continued for one year increased their bone density.

Since walking can be comfortably performed by people of any age, walking appears to be practical and effective in reducing a person's risk for developing osteoporosis.

WALKING AND STRESS REDUCTION

There are many stressors in today's society, including economic concerns, work-related pressures and the need to balance career goals with home responsibilities. People who are unable to cope with these types of stressors are often tense and anxious, and may even become physically or psychologically ill.

Researchers have found that exercise is one way to help people reduce stress. For example, subjects who engaged in a regular aerobic conditioning program and who altered their diets experienced significant gains in self-concept, feelings of well-being and reduced depression.

Cramer and his colleagues9specifically examined the effect of brisk walking on mildly obese sedentary women and found that walking improved general psychological well-being. Walking therefore appears to be an effective tool for improving psychological well-being.

WALKING AND INJURIES

Walking is often associated with a low injury rate. Walking is considered to be a "low impact" activity because one foot remains in contact with the ground at all times. Walking at speeds of 3 miles per hour produces vertical impact forces that are around 1.25 times body weight, whereas running at 7 miles per hour increases vertical impact forces to more than 2.5 times body weight.

During a 24-week study, not one of 59 participants who walked five days a week at speeds between 3 and 5 miles per hour sustained a walking-related injury that necessitated consulting with a physician. Carroll and his colleagues10reported that 14% of the elderly subjects participating in a walking study suffered trainingrelated orthopedic injuries, mostly to the lower leg and foot. The majority of injuries occurred in the group assigned to "fast walking."

It is important to note that all forms of exercise have some degree of risk associated with the activity. Generally, the less mechanical stress on the musculoskeletal system, the less risk of becoming injured. Because of the low-impact nature of walking, the incidence of injury appears to be low when compared to other high-impact activities.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. RememberÑthese 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 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 Òtraining zone.Ó The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

You can measure your heart rate using the heart rate monitor. If your heart rate is too high or too low, adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill accordingly.

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 or incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone.

For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed or 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 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 speed or 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-upÑStart 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 ExerciseÑAfter warming up, increase the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is in your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exerciseÑnever hold your breath.

A Cool-downÑFinish 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.

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.

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 heart rate monitor is not a medical device. Various factors, including the user's movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor 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 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.

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.
