FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The treadmill console offers an impressive array of features designed to make your workouts more effective.

When the manual mode of the console is selected, the speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will display instant exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor. Note: See page 20 for information about an optional chest pulse sensor.

In addition, the console offers four preset workout programs. Each program automatically controls the speed and incline of the treadmill as it guides you through an effective workout. Two heart rate programs are also offered. Each program automatically adjusts the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate within a preset range while you exercise.

The console also features new iFIT.com interactive technology. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a

personal trainer in your home. Using the included audio cable, you can connect the treadmill to your home stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and play special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are available separately). iFIT.com CD and video programs automatically control the speed and incline of the treadmill as a personal trainer coaches you through every step of your workout. High-energy music provides added motivation. To

purchase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, call tollfree 1-888-936-4266.

With the treadmill connected to your computer, you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and access programs directly from the internet. Additional options are soon to be available. See www.iFIT.com for

more information.

During heart rate program 1, your heart rate will reach approximately 85% of your estimated maximum heart rate; during heart rate program 2, your heart rate will reach approximately 80% of your estimated maximum heart rate. Note: Your estimated maximum heart rate is determined by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 – 30 = 190).

During heart rate programs, the LED matrix will show a graphic that represents your heart rate. Each time a heart beat is detected, an additional peak will appear.

the treadmill will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. If the speed reaches the maxi mum speed setting of the program (see step 4 at

the left) and your heart rate is still too far below the current target heart rate setting, the incline of the treadmill will also increase to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.

REEBOK UNIVERSITY

Reebok University was launched in 1993 to fulfill a vision to establish a “university without walls” that develops quality, researched, state-of-the-art fitness programming for the fitness industry throughout the world.

Working with the world’s best professionals, Reebok University has created a host of original programs, such as Step Reebok

, Walk ReebokSM, Slide Reebok and Reebok City JamSM. The industry has adopted Reebok programming as the “gold” standard. Our guidelines and terminology are used by fitness professionals and participants around the world, and our exceptional programming has been approved in the United States by AFAA and ACE for continuing education credits.

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.

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.

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 car diovascular 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.

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.

Page 26

Several studies have reported that regular walking at moderate to brisk speeds appears to increase bone

density. Specifically, Fradin and his colleagues

found 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

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 sub

jects 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.

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 pro

duces vertical impact forces that are around 1.25 times body weight, whereas running at 7 miles per hour in

creases vertical impact forces to more than 2.5 times body weight.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

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.

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.

The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user’s movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as exercise aids in determining heart rate trends in general.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. 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.

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 “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 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-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.

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 “training zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the handgrip pulse sensor or the chest pulse sensor. If your heart rate is too high or too low, adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill.

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

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.

A 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.

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. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

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

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.
