INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Response Er6c Elliptical trainer. You have made a smart choice and are about to
enjoy one of the most effective and technically-advanced methods of cardiovascular exercise available today.
Founded in 1991 as an off-shoot of the legendary bicycle company, Diamondback Fitness was in many ways a complimentary
addition to the Diamondback brand. One might even say this extension grew as a natural evolution…an evolution from
classic outdoor bicycle usage, toward indoor-based cycling and cross training. It turns out that many fitness enthusiasts were
searching for ways to maintain conditioning during times of inclement weather or were simply looking for new and different
cross-training options.
This trend still continues 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 generations riding them today.
Diamondback Fitness continues to build upon this legendary brand identity by offering the cardio enthusiast a full line of
upright exercise bicycles, recumbents, and elliptical trainers, each offering superior value and quality in an intuitive and
visually-appealing design. Let’s just say, we are already planning our next twenty years.
Thank you for choosing Diamondback Fitness.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Good Health is an Exercise in Common Sense
In the study titled, “The Surgeon General’s Call To Action 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, as well as Type-2 diabetes among other afictions.
The Surgeon General’s healthy weight advice for consumers encourages the following actions:
• Aim For a Healthy Weight: Find your Body Mass Index (BMI) on the chart below.
• Be Active: Keep physically active to balance the calories you consume.
• Eat Well: Select sensible portion sizes.

Height in centimeters

Heart Rate is an Important Key to Your Exercise
The Surgeon General also released a report on physical activity and health. This report dictates that exercise and fitness are
beneficial for a person’s health and reiterated the need for exercise as a key component for disease prevention and healthier living.
The best way to determine exercise intensity is to monitor your pulse during exercise. Heart rate can easily be determined by
counting the pulse rate at the chest, wrist or carotid artery on your neck. It is however, difficult to count your own pulse during
exercise, mainly because one cannot count fast enough to accurately track the rate. The Response Er6c is equipped with two
systems for monitoring your heart rate.
Touch Heart Rate Sensors
While the unit is powered-on and a workout program is operating, gently grasp both touch heart rate sensors on the handlebar.
The computer will detect your pulse rate and register a two or three digit number in the PULSE window on the LCD display.
NOTE: If an inconsistent heart rate is displayed while using the hand pulse sensors:

• Donotclutchthetouchheartratesensorstightly.
• Trytokeepyourhandsstillwhilegripingthetouchheartratesensors.
Wireless Heart Rate Receiver
A wireless telemetry heart rate receiving system is one feature found on the Response models. In order for the console to
detect and display your heart rate, three conditions must be present:
• A compatible uncoded heart rate chest strap transmitter (not included) must be functioning and worn. Your Diamondback
Fitness dealer can assist you select the appropriate model. Please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• The Diamondback Response Er6c must be powered on.
• A workout program must be running.
13

In general, a wireless heart rate chest strap is a more accurate method of detecting one’s heart rate as the user is not required
to grip the touch heart rate sensors and the unit will continuously display the heart rate no matter where the hands are placed.
Your Estimated 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. It is calculated as a percentage of your maximum heart rate (estimated as 220
beats-per-minute minus your age). It is most effective to train at a heart rate between 60% and 85% of your maximum heart
rate. If exercise intensity is too low or too high, only modest gains will be made in strength and cardiovascular fitness. A workout
at a very low intensity will not offer maximum benefits. Conversely, if the workout intensity is too high, injury or fatigue may set
your exercise program back as the body attempts to recover.
To calculate your maximum heart rate and find the target training zone, use the following formulas. For example, the following
estimation 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 = 111 heart beats-per minute (Bpm)
85% of Maximum Heart Rate 85% x 185 = 157 Bpm
• Calculated Heart Rate Training Zone: 111 Bpm – 157 Bpm

WORKOUT QUALITY AND QUANTITY
It is recommended that you accumulate at least 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week. Physical activity should
be initiated slowly and the intensity should be increased gradually. You should select activities that you enjoy and can fit into
your daily life. Having Diamondback Fitness equipment at home offers you the opportunity to work out without going to the gym.
The American College of Sports Medicine makes the following recommendations for the quantity and quality of training for
developing and maintaining cardiovascular fitness in healthy adults:
• An activity that uses large muscle groups, maintained continuously, and is rhythmical and aerobic in nature.
• Duration: 20 to 60 minutes of continuous aerobic activity, including a warm-up and cool-down period for each exercise session.
• Frequency: 3 to 5 times per week.
• Intensity: 60% to 85% of maximum heart rate.
In addition to aerobic exercise, it is recommended that you add strength training of moderate intensity twice per week to
your program.
Get a Smart Start on Exercising
Anyone over the age of 35, as well as younger persons whom 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 afterwards 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.
15

• After an aerobic workout of roughly 20-30 minutes, spend 10 minutes gradually reducing your heart rate with a lower
resistance level.
NOTE: Start slow, with intensity low until you build up endurance and strength. Always consult your physician
before beginning any exercise program.
