To assist you to plan and regulate your personal fitness program we have established
these guidelines to help you on your way. Remember, ease into a new program and
maintain good nutrition to achieve the best results. HOWEVER IT’S IMPORTANT,
BEFORE BEGINNING THIS OR ANY EXERCISE PROGRAM TO CONSULT YOUR
PHYSICIAN!
EXERCISE INTENSITY
To achieve maximum benefit from exercise you need to exert yourself but without
experiencing breathlessness and fatigue. Knowing your heart rate is the key to getting
better results. Determine your target heart rate, based on your age and work within the
range to achieve weight loss faster! For effective aerobic exercise, the heart rate must
be maintained at a level between 70% and 85% of your maximum heart rate. This is your
"Training Zone". For both conditioned and unconditioned persons according to age. Use
the column that is appropriate for you.
During the first few weeks of your exercise program, you should keep your heart rate
near the low end of your Training Zone. Over the course of a few months, gradually
increase your heart rate until it reaches the high end of your Training Zone. As your
condition improves, a greater workload will be required in order to raise your heart rate to
your Training Zone.
To measure your heart rate, stop exercising and place two
fingers on your wrist where you feel a pulse. Carefully take a
six-second heart beat count (A six-second count is used
because your heart rate will drop rapidly after you stop
exercising). Add a 0 to the result to find your heart rate.
Compare your heart rate to your Training Zone. If your heart
rate is too low, increase you level of exertion. If your heart
rate is too high, decrease your level of exertion.

WORKOUT PATTERN
Each workout should consist of 5 basic parts:
1.AT REST 2.WARMING-UP 3.TRAINING ZONE EXERCISE
4.COOLING DOWN 5.AT REST
Warming up is an important part of every workout. Warming up prepares the body for
more strenuous exercise by increasing circulation, delivering more oxygen to the
muscles, and raising the body temperature. This can be done by stretching for 5-10
minutes prior to exercising. After warming up, begin exercising at a low intensity level
for a few minutes. Then increase the intensity to raise your heart rate to your Training
Zone for a period of 20-30 minutes.
HOW TO START
First of all, start out slow and easy. Just walk for 10 minutes. Do this every day for
a week. If this was easy for you, add five minutes to your exercise for week 2.
Keep adding 5 minutes until you are running as long as desired.
WATCH YOUR POSTURE
Think of elongating your body. Hold your head up and eyes forward. Your shoulders
should be down, back and relaxed. Tighten your abdominals and buttocks.
Be sure to drink plenty of water before, during and after exercise. Incorporate a warm
up, cool down and stretches into your routine. Start your walk at a slow warm up pace,
stop and do a few warm up stretches. Then exercise for the desired length of time. End
your exercise with the slower cool down pace and stretch well. Stretching will make you
feel great and assist in injury prevention.
The toughest thing about starting a fitness program is developing a habit. Walking
daily will help (a minimum of 5 days a week is a good goal). You should walk fast
enough to reach your Target Heart Rate, but you should not be gasping for air.
After you have formed the habit you will want to evaluate your program and your goals.
To improve cardiovascular fitness walk 3 to 4 days a week, 20 to 30 minutes at a very
fast pace. If you are exercising for weight loss you should walk a minimum of five days
a week, 45 to 60 minutes at a "purposeful" pace.
If you're new to exercise, start off with slow, short sessions and build your way up
gradually. If you have any health concerns or medical conditions, be sure to check
with your doctor for advice before you begin a routine.

11
Stretching is one of the most important elements of a good fitness; many users don't
stretch enough, or stretch incorrectly. Stretching can be time consuming, but it is
important for good exercise form and injury prevention.
IMPORTANT RULES FOR STRETCHING:
1. Always warm up prior to stretching.
2. Do not bounce. A stretch should be a gentle movement. Slowly go to the point where
you feel tension in the muscle.
3. A good stretch should not hurt. If you are stretching to the point of pain you are
stretching too hard.
4. To lengthen the muscles hold the stretch for 30 to 40 seconds.
STRETCHING ROUTINE
Toe points - Lift one foot off the floor and gently point the toe. Hold for a few seconds.
Now, flex your foot pointing your toe up. Do about five of these on each foot.
Ankle circles - Stand with your weight on one foot. Lift one foot off the floor and gently
point the toe. Rotate your ankle and do about ten circles in each direction, then change
feet. Do this about two or three times with each foot.
Arm circles- Hold your arms straight out to the side. Make small circles going
backward, gradually getting larger and larger. Rest for a second and do the same thing
in the forward direction. Do this a couple of times until your arms, shoulders and upper
back are warmed up.
Hamstring and lower back- Slowly bend forward from your waist with your knees
slightly bent. Reach for the floor and hold. Only bend as far as comfortable.
Lower back- While lying on your back, bring both knees up towards the chest with the
hands. Round the lower back and relax into the stretch. Don't do this stretch on a hard
surface... use a stretching mat, which will provide the required support.
Shoulder stretch-Standing upright, cross left arm over chest. Place your right hand on
your upper arm and pull arm in tight to chest .Be sure to keep shoulders down and do
not pull at the elbow. Hold, and then repeat stretch with other arm.
Neck relax-Turn and look over your right shoulder and hold. Repeat on the left side.
Don't hyper-extend the neck, or tilt it backwards

12
NOTICE :
The treadmill should be placed on a level surface. If the treadmill is not level, the belt will
continuously track to low side of the treadmill.
WALKING BELT TENSION
As walking belts tend to stretch slightly with use, the belt may occasionally need to be
tightened. If the belt is too loose, you may find the belt stops while running or walking,
while the motor continues to run.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BELT. This will cause reduced motor performance and
roller damage.
When properly tensioned, you should be able to
lift the side of the belt about 2-3 inches (5-7.5
centimeters). A quick test for belt tension: you
should be able to fit three fingers under the edge
of the belt.
To tighten belt:
Use Allen key provided with the treadmill, place
it in the hole in the left rear end cap and into the
socket of the adjustment screw. Turn Allen key
one full turn clockwise. Then place Allen key in
hole in the right end cap and turn key one full
turn clockwise. Check the tension of the belt.
Continue to do this until belt is at the correct
tension. Make sure to adjust both sides equally
to ensure correct belt alignment.

13
WALKING BELT CENTERING
The walking belt may occasionally need to be centered. First be certain that the belt is
tensioned properly. Start the treadmill and run it at about 6km/h. Place the allen key
through the hole in the left rear end cap and into the socket of the adjustment screw. (See
picture below)
1. If belt has moved too far to the left:
Turn the left adjustment screw 1/4 turn clockwise (tight) or turn the right adjustment
screw 1/4 turn anticlockwise (loose). Take off the rear end caps and make sure
both sides of the rear roller are parallel.
2. If belt has moved too far to the right:
Turn the left adjustment screw 1/4 turn anticlockwise (loose) or turn the right
adjustment screw 1/4 turn clockwise (tight). Take off the rear end caps and make
sure both sides of the rear roller are parallel.
Continue to run the treadmill around 3-5 minutes to ensure the belt has been centered.
Make sure the belt is not too loose to be slippery and you have not made an
over-adjustment.

14
WARNING: ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TREADMILL FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET
BEFORE CLEANING, LUBRICATING OR SERVICING THE UNIT.
CLEANING
General cleaning of the treadmill will prolong the life of the treadmill and improve
performance. Keep the unit dean by dusting regularly. Be sure to dust the exposed part of
the desk on either side of the walking belt and also the side rails. For best performance,
we recommend your treadmill be placed on a treadmill mat. Along with reducing noise, a
treadmill mat will help to keep dust debris away from your treadmill's critical components.
Clean the top of the belt with a wet, soapy cloth. Be careful to keep liquid away from
inside the motorized treadmill frame or underneath the belt.
WARNING : ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TREADMILL FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET
BEFORE REMOVING THE MOTOR COVER. At least once a year remove the
motor cover and vacuum under the motor cover.
WALKING BELT AND DECK LUBRICATION
It's important to take good care of your treadmill
deck (the walking surface underneath the belt),
because the belt/deck friction may affect the
function and life of your treadmill and requires
periodic lubrication.
Provided with the treadmill is a small sample bottle of lubrication oil. Just lift the belt and
spread from the centre of the deck to the edge where the belt touches the deck, do this to
both sides of the treadmill. If you run or jog your stride widens, so spread to the front of
the deck to reduce friction in this area. Use the following timetable as a guide to lubricate
the deck. Silicone spray can also be used as a belt and deck lubricant following the same
instruction.
Note: In tropical areas you may have to lubricate more often due to humidity.

15
BEFORE STARTING
Straddle the belt and stand on the plastic side rails. Place the safety key onto the circle
on the overlay and attach the clip to your clothing. Do not stand on the walking belt
while starting or stopping the treadmill. If you are a new user, stay at a slow speed and
hold onto the handrails until you become comfortable.
