Monitoring Your Heart Rate
Monitoring Your Heart Rate
To obtain the greatest cardiovascular benefits from your exercise workout, it is important to work within your
target heart rate zone. The American Heart Association (AHA) defines this target as 60%-75% percent of your
maximum heart rate.
Your maximum heart rate may be roughly calculated by subtracting your age from 220. Your maximum heart
rate and aerobic capacity naturally decreases as you age. This may vary from one person to another, but use
this number to find your approximate effective target zone. For example, the maximum heart rate for an aver-
age 40 year-old is 180 bpm. The target heart rate zone is 60%-75% of 180 or 108-135 bpm. See Fitness Safety
below.
Before beginning your workout, check your normal resting heart rate. Place your fingers lightly against your
neck, or against your wrist over the main artery. After finding your pulse, count the number of beats in 10 sec-
onds. Multiply the number of beats by six to determine your pulse rate per minute. We recommend taking your
heart rate at these times; at rest, after warming up, during your workout and two minutes into your cool down,
to accurately track your progress as it relates to better fitness.
During your first several months of exercising, the AHA recommends aiming for the lower part of the target
heart rate zone-60%, then gradually progressing up to 75%.
According to the AHA, exercising above 75% of your maximum heart rate may be too strenuous unless you
are in top physical condition. Exercising below 60% of your maximum will result in minimal cardiovascular
conditioning.
Check your pulse recovery rate – If your pulse is over 100 bpm five minutes after you stop exercising, or if
it’s higher than normal the morning after exercising, your exertion may have been too strenuous for your cur-
rent fitness level. Rest and reduce the intensity next time.
Fitness Safety The target heart rate chart indicates average rate zones for different ages. A variety of different
factors (including medication, emotional state, temperature and other conditions) can affect the target heart
rate zone that is best for you. Your physician or health care professional can help you determine the exercise
intensity that is appropriate for your age and condition.
14
(MHR) = Maximum Heart Rate
(THR) = Target Heart Rate
220 - age = maximum heart rate (MHR)
MHR x .60 = 60% of your maximum heart rate.
MHR x .75 = 75% of your maximum heart rate.
For example, if you are 30 years old, your calculations will be as follows:
220 - 30 = 190
190 x .60 = 114 (low end or 60% of MHR)
190 x .75 = 142 (high end or 75% of MHR)
30 year-old (THR) Target Heart Rate would be 114-142
See Heart Rate Table for additional calculations.

Depress "SELECT" key to advance to the pulse function, then use "+" or "-" key to enter your desired high
and low pulse rate limit. Each press of " +" or "-"
key will advance 5 pulse rate. If your pulse rate is above the high pulse limit you programmed, the computer
will generate a tone to warn you to stop exercise. In contrast, if your pulse rate is lower than your desired low
pulse rate limit, the buzzer will also beep to remind you to continue your exercise.
5: Programming AGE:
Depress "SELECT" key to advance to the age is shown on the display. Press "+" or " - " key to input your age

Moving Instructions
CAUTION! TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY WHILE LIFTING, BEND YOUR LEGS AND
KEEP YOUR BACK STRAIGHT. AS YOU LEAN THE UNIT, LIFT USING YOUR LEGS, NOT YOUR
BACK.
With the elliptical tracks in the locked position(safety latch is engaged), grasp the console tube and place one
foot on the base as shown in Figure 1. Next, with a firm grasp on console tube, place one foot on the center of
the base of the mainframe and carefully tilt the unit back until it rolls freely on the transport wheels. Using
extreme caution, move the unit to the desired location as shown in Figure 2. To set the unit down, place one
foot on the center of the base of the mainframe and carefully lower unit onto base in a resting position. Do not
attempt to move the unit over an uneven or rough surface.

Warm Up Exercises
TOE TOUCH STRETCH
Stand bending your knees 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. This will stretch your ham-
strings, back of knees, and back.
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. This will stretch your ham-
strings, lower back, and groin.
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. To cause further stretching of the Achilles tendon, bend
your back leg as well. This will stretch your calves, Achilles tendons, and
ankles.
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. This will stretch your quadriceps and hip muscles.
INNER THIGH STRETCH
Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. Pull your
feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.
This will stretch your quadriceps and hip muscles.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING! Before beginning this or any exercise program, you should consult your physician. This is espe-
cially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-existing health problems.
Warming up prepares the body for the exercise by increasing circulation, supplying more oxygen to the mus-
cles and raising body temperature. Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise
to warm up. The photos on this page show several forms of basic stretching you may perform before your
workouts. In order to achieve an adequate warm-up, perform each stretch three times.
