INTRODUCTION
Congratulaons on the purchase of your new 510Ef Front Drive Ellipcal Trainer from Diamondback Fitness.
You have made a smart choice and are about to enjoy one of the most effecve and technically-advanced
methods of cardio-vascular exercise available today.
Founded in 1991 as an off-shoot of the legendary bicycle division, Diamondback Fitness was in many ways
a complimentary addion to the Diamondback brand. One might even say this extension grew as a natural
evoluon from classic outdoor bicycle usage toward indoor-based cycling and cross training. It turns out
many fitness enthusiasts were searching for ways to maintain condioning during mes of inclement
weather or were simply looking for new and different crosstraining opons.
This trend sll connues today, twenty years later, as the strong Diamondback brand resonates with both
the boomers who grew up with the bicycles, as well as the younger generaons riding them today.
Diamondback Fitness connues to build upon this legendary brand identy by offering the cardio enthusi-
ast a full line of upright bikes, recumbents, indoor cycles, and ellipcal trainers that offer great value, high
quality and intuive & visually-pleasing design. Let’s just say, we are already planning our next twenty
years.

WORKOUT GUILDLINES
Good health is an exercise in common sense.
In the study tled, “The Surgeon General’s Call To AcƟon To Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity”, the Surgeon General
indicates that 61% of American adults are either overweight or obese. The study indicates that being overweight increases the
risk of health problems, such as heart disease, certain types of cancer, type 2 diabetes among other afflicons.
The Surgeon General’s Healthy weight advice for consumers is:
• Aim for a healthy weight: Find your Body Mass Index (BMI) on the chart below.
• Be acve: Keep physically acve to balance the calories you consume.
• Eat well: Select sensible poron sizes.

WORKOUT GUILDLINES
Calculated Maximum Heart Rate & Target Training Zone
Your calculated target heart rate, or the ideal intensity needed to improve cardiovascular fitness, depends primarily upon your
age rather than your current state of fitness. If the exercise intensity is too low or too high, only modest gains will be made
in strength and cardio-vascular fitness. A workout at a very low intensity will not offer maximum benefits. Conversely, if the
workout intensity is too high, injury or fague may slow the progression of your exercise goals as the body aempts to recover.
Note: It is most effecve to train at a heart rate between 60% and 85% of your maximum heart rate. Maximum heart rate is
calculated as a percentage of your maximum heart rate (esmated as 220 beats-per-minute minus your age).
To calculate your maximum heart rate and find the appropriate target training zone, use the following formulas. For example,
the following esmaon would be relevant for a 35 year-old user:
220 - Age = Maximum Heart Rate (220 - 35 = 185)
60% of Maximum Heart Rate (60% x 185 = 111bpm)
85% of Maximum Heart Rate (85% x 185 = 157bpm)
Based on these calculaons, the recommended heart rate training zone for this user would be between 111 Bpm – 157 Bpm. The
graphs on the next page displays the recommended heart rate training zone for users twenty years of age to seventy-five years
of age.

WORKOUT GUILDLINES
WORKOUT QUALITY AND QUANTITY
It is recommended that you accumulate at least 30 minutes of physical acvity most days of the week. Physical acvity should be iniated
slowly and the intensity should be increased gradually. You should select acvies that you enjoy and can fit into your daily life. Having
Diamondback Fitness equipment at home certainly gives you the comfortable and convenient workout you want.
The American College of Sports Medicine makes the following recommendaons for the quanty and quality of training for developing and
maintaining cardio respiratory fitness in healthy adults:
• An acvity that uses large muscle groups, maintained connuously, and is rhythmical and aerobic in nature.
• Duraon: 20 to 60 minutes of connuous aerobic acvity, including a warm-up and cool-down period, for each exercise session.
• Frequency: 3 to 5 mes per week.
• Intensity: 60% to 85% of maximum heart rate.
In addion to aerobic exercise, strength training of moderate intensity twice per week is recommended. Women especially may benefit from
weight-bearing exercises. Select acvies you enjoy and can fit into daily life. Having Diamondback Fitness equipment at home offers you the
opportunity to work out without going to the gym.
Get a smart start on exercising
Anyone over the age of 35, as well as, younger persons who are overweight, should check with his/her physician before beginning any type of
exercise program. People who have diabetes or high blood pressure, a family history of heart disease, high cholesterol or have led a sedentary
lifestyle should protect themselves with a medical check-up and a stress test, preferably administered during exercise by a health care
professional.
• Always stretch before your workout to loosen muscles, and aerward to cool down.
• The first few minutes of your workout should be devoted to warming up muscles before a vigorous workout, and building your heart rate
slowly.
• Aer your aerobic workout of about 24-32 minutes, spend 10 minutes gradually reducing your heart rate with a lower resistance level.
NOTE: Start slow, with intensity low unl you build up endurance and strength. Always consult your physician before beginning any exercise
program.
