Owner’s Manual

Operation

CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE YOU START ANY EXERCISE PROGRAM.

Only your physician can determine the exercise program that is appropriate for your particular age and condition. If you have not been exercising, are pregnant, have a heart condition, or any physical limitation, failure to consult your physician before engaging in physical exercise, such as using this ﬁtness machine, could result in serious

injury or death. If you have any pain or tightness in your chest, an irregular heart beat, shortness of breath, feel faint, light-headed or dizzy, have any pain or discomfort, while using the machine, STOP and consult your physician

immediately.

Exercise Program

• 3 times a week for 20 minutes each day.

• Schedule workouts in advance. Try to work out even when you don’t want to.

Wear a good pair of athletic shoes with rubber soles. You will need the appropriate clothes for exercise that allow you to move freely.

Warm Up and Cool Down

Stretch before starting your exercise session. Warm muscles respond better to stretches than cold ones. Start pedaling at a slow pace and resistance for five or ten minutes and then complete the stretches listed below.

• Achilles Tendon and Calf - With both hands against a wall, place one foot behind you. Lean in toward the wall while

keeping the rear leg straight and your heel on the ground. Repeat for the other leg.

• Quadriceps - Put your left hand on a wall or table for balance. Grasp your right ankle with your right hand behind your

back, and pull it gently toward your buttocks until you feel tension along the front of your thigh. Repeat on the other side.

• Hamstring - Stand on one leg and prop the other leg parallel to the ground on a stable cabinet or table top. Slide both

hands toward the propped-up ankle as far as is comfortable. Repeat on other side.

Telemetric Heart Rate Monitor

Monitoring your Heart Rate is one of the best ways to control the intensity of your exercise. This feature is built into the

The Schwinn

460 uses a Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter to send your Heart Rate

Schwinn® 460

signals to the console. The console displays your Heart Rate in “beats per minute” in the lower-middle window of the display.

The Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter is included.

How to Use Your Chest Strap

Using the Schwinn® 460 heart rate transmitter chest strap, you can monitor your heart rate at any time during your workout:

fitness machine.

1. The heart rate transmitter is attached to a chest strap to keep your hands free during your workout.

Attach the transmitter to the elastic chest strap.

5. The transmitter will send your heart rate to the Schwinn

2. Adjust the strap length

to fit snugly and comfortably against your skin. Secure the strap around your

chest, just below

the chest muscles, and buckle it.

3. Lift the transmitter off your chest and moisten the two grooved electrode areas on the back.

4. Check that the wet electrode areas are firmly against your skin.

(BPM) will be displayed in the HEART RATE display within a matter of several seconds.

6. Always remove the transmitter before cleaning the chest strap. Clean the chest strap regularly with mild soap and water and thoroughly dry it. Residual sweat and moisture keep the transmitter active and drain the battery

in the transmitter.

Note: Do not use abrasives or chemicals such as steel wool or alcohol for cleaning, as they can damage the

electrodes permanently.

Replacement chest straps are available by calling your Nautilus Representative.

If the Heart Rate Transmitter is not sending a signal to your console, the PULSE display will show 3 dashes. Check to make certain that the textured contact areas on the chest strap are contacting with your skin. You may need to lightly wet the contact areas. If no signal appears or you need further information, please call a Nautilus Representative.

Information About Heart Rate Calculations

Your maximum heart rate generally declines with age from about 220 Beats Per Minute (BPM) in childhood to about 160 BPM at age 60. This fall in heart rate is fairly linear, decreasing by approximately one BPM per year. There is no strong evidence to suggest that training inﬂuences the decline in maximum heart rate. It should be remembered that individuals of the same age might have quite different maximum heart rates. It is more accurate to determine this value by undergoing a stress test than by using an age-related formula.

On the other hand, your resting heart rate is greatly inﬂuenced by endurance training. The typical adult has a resting heart rate of about 72 BPM whereas highly trained runners may have readings of 40 BPM or lower.

The Heart Rate Table below gives you an estimate of what “Heart Rate Zone” is most effective for burning fat and improving your cardiovascular system. However, it is good to remember that everyone is built differently, therefore your individual Heart Rate Zone could be several beats higher or lower than what is shown. It is best that you consult your physician, to determine the heart rates that you can safely exercise at.

The best way to burn fat during exercise is to start slowly with a less intense exercise and gradually increase your intensity until your heart rate during exercise is between 60 – 85% of your maximum heart rate, and continue at that

pace, keeping your heart rate in that target zone for over 20 minutes.

The longer you maintain your target heart rate, the more fat your body will burn. The graph below is merely a guideline, showing the generally suggested target heart rate for persons your age. As noted

above, your optimal target rate may be higher or lower. Consult your physician for your individual target heart rate zone.

Note: As with all exercises and fitness regimens, always use your best judgment when increasing your exercise time or

intensity.
