Workouts

The workout must be suitably light, but of long
duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving
the body’s maximum oxygen uptake, which in
turn improves endurance and fitness. You should
perspire, but you should not get out of breath
during the workout.

To reach and maintain a basic fitness level, exercise
at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a
time. Increase the number of exercise sessions
to improve your fitness level. It is worthwhile to
combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. A
person committed to dieting should exercise
daily, at first 30 minutes or less at a time, gradually
increasing the daily workout time to one hour.
Start your workout at low speed and low resistance
to prevent the cardiovascular system from being
subjected to excessive strain.
As the fitness level improves, speed and resistance
can be increased gradually. The efficiency of your
exercise can be measured by monitoring your heart
rate and your pulse rate.

Exercise Instructions

Using your fitness trainer will provide you with
several benefits, it will improve your physical
fitness, tone muscle and in conjunction with a
calorie controlled diet help you lose weight.

The warming up phase

This stage helps get the blood flowing around
the body and the muscles working properly. It will
also reduce the risk of cramp and muscle injury.
It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises
as shown below. Each stretch should be held for
approximately 30 seconds, do not force or jerk
your muscles into a stretch - if it hurts, STOP

The exercise phase

This is the stage where you put the effort in. After
regular use, the muscles in your legs will become
more flexible. Work to your but it is very important
to maintain a steady tempo throughout. The rate
of work should be sufficient to raise your heart beat
into the target zone shown on the graph below.

This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes
though most people start at about 15-20 minutes

The cool down phase

This stage is to let your Cardiovascular System and
muscles wind down. This is a repeat of the warm
up exercise e.g. reduce your tempo, continue for
approximately 5 minutes.

21

English

The stretching exercises should now be repeated,
again remembering not to force or jerk your
muscles into the stretch.
As you get fitter you may need to train longer and
harder. It is advisable to train at least three times a
week, and if possible space your workouts evenly
throughout the week.

Muscle toning

To tone muscle while on your fitness trainer you will
need to have the resistance set quite high. This will
put more strain on our leg muscles and may mean
you cannot train for as long as you would like. If
you are also trying to improve your fitness you
need to alter your training program. You should
train as normal during the warm up and cool down
phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase
you should increase resistance making your legs
work harder. You will have to reduce your speed to
keep your heart rate in the target zone.

Weight loss

The important factor here is the amount of effort
you put in. The harder and longer you work the
more calories you will burn. Effectively this is
the same as if you were training to improve your
fitness, the difference is the goal.

Heart rate measurement

(heart rate chest belt)

The most accurate heart rate measurement is
achieved with a heart rate chest belt. The heart rate
is measured by a heart rate receiver in combination
with a heart rate transmitter belt. Accurate heart
measurement requires that the electrodes on the
transmitter belt are slight moist and constantly
touching the skin. If the electrodes are too dry or
too moist, the heart rate measurement will become
less accurate.

WARNING

• If you have a pacemaker, consult a physician
before using a heartrate chest belt.

CAUTION

• If there are several heart rate measurement
devices next to each other, make sure that
the distance between them is at least 1.5
metres.

• If there is only one heart rate receiver and
several heart rate transmitters, make sure
that only one person with a transmitter is
within transmission range.

NOTE

• Always wear the heart rate chest belt under
your clothes directly in contact with your
skin. Do not wear the heart rate chest belt
above your clothes. If you wear the heart rate
chest belt above your clothes, there will be
no signal.

• If you set a heart rate limit for your workout,
an alarm will sound when it is exceeded.

• The transmitter transmits the heart rate to
the console up to a distance of 1 metre. If
the electrodes are not moist, the heart rate
will not appear on the display.

• Some fibers in clothes (e.g. polyester,
polyamide) create static electricity which can
prevent accurate heart rate measurement.

• Mobile phones, televisions and
other electrical appliances create an
electromagnetic field which can prevent
accurate heart rate measurement.

Maximum heart rate
(during training)

The maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate
a person can safely achieve through exercise
stress. The following formula is used to calculate
the average maximum heart rate: 220 - AGE. The
maximum heart rate varies from person to person.

WARNING

• Make sure that you do not exceed your
maximum heart rate during your workout.
If you belong to a risk group, consult a
physician.

Beginner
50-60% of maximum heart rate

Suitable for beginners, weight-watchers,
convalescents and persons who have not exercised
for a long time. Exercise at least three times a
week, 30 minutes at a time.

Advanced
60-70% of maximum heart rate

Suitable for persons who want to improve and
maintain fitness. Exercise at least three times a
week, 30 minutes at a time.

Expert
70-80% of maximum heart rate

Suitable for the fittest of persons who are used to
long-endurance workouts.
