IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

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 to 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 in the
drawings below. 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.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

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. (This chart is also found on the console.)

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
at the top of chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest
ten years). Next, find the three numbers below your
age. The three numbers are 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.

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 and incline of the treadmill until your
heart rate is near one of the lower two numbers 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 and incline of the treadmill until your
heart rate is near the highest number in your training
zone.

HOW TO MEA­SURE YOUR
HEART RATE

To measure your
heart rate, stop ex­ercising and place
two fingers on
your wrist as
shown. Take a six­second heartbeat
count, and multiply the result by ten to find your heart
rate. (A six-second count is used because your heart
rate drops quickly when you stop exercising.) If your
heart rate is too high or too low, adjust the speed or in­cline of the treadmill accordingly.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

A well-rounded workout includes the following three
important parts:

A Warm-up

Start each workout by warming up for 5 to 10 minutes.
Begin with slow, controlled stretches, and progress to
more rhythmic stretches to increase your body temper­ature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for
strenuous exercise.

Training Zone Exercise

After 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

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 pre-existing health problems.

Refer to the drawing at the right. Locate
the indicated warning decal on the
treadmill. The text on the warning decal
is in English. If English is not your na­tive language, find the sheet of square
decals included with the treadmill. Peel
off the decal that is in your native lan­guage, and press it onto the warning
decal so that it covers the English text.

IMPORTANT: If the warning decal is
missing, or if it is not legible, please call
our Customer Service Department to
order a free replacement decal. Apply
the decal in the location shown.

key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the allen
wrench, turn the left rear roller adjustment bolt counterclock­wise, and the right bolt clockwise, 1/4 of a turn each. Be care­ful not to overtighten the walking belt. Plug in the power cord,
insert the key and run the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat
until the walking belt is centred.
