CONSOLE FUNCTIONS:
TIME:
This will count up from 00:00 up to 99:50 if you do not enter a preset time.
If you do enter a preset time the console will count down from the time you set to 0:00.

Console Overview

HEART RATE PROGRAMS:
Heart Rate programs will auto adjust the tension level during your exercise session. If your heart rate is under
the programmed level the tension level will increase one level every thirty seconds until target heart rate is
achieved. As soon as our are at your Target Heart Rate is achieved the tension level will decrease slightly to
keep you in that target. If your heart rate is over the programmed level the tension level will decrease one
level every fifteen seconds until target is reached. If your heart rate stays over the target and the tension level
has decreased to 1 the console will stop and an alarm will sound. This is a safety measure.
There are three preset programs available and four Target Heart Rate programs. The three preset program pro-
files are on the console. The Target Heart Rate programs are 55% maximum heart rate, 75%, 90% and Target
Heart Rate user program.
The console uses the age data to calculate your Target Heart Rate. If age 30 is input in the 55% program, the
target heart rate will be 104. This is 55% of the Maximum Heart Rate of 190.
To change console settings from MPH (Miles Per Hour) to
KPH (Kilometers Per Hour) flip switch on back of unit.

Console Overview

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 current
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.
(MHR) = Maximum Heart Rate
(THR) = Target Heart Rate
220 - age = maximum heart rate (MHZ)
MHZ x .60 = 60% of your maximum heart rate.
MHZ 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 MHZ)
190 x .75 = 142 (high end or 75% of MHZ)
30 year-old (THR) Target Heart Rate would be 114-142
See Heart Rate Table (on next page) for additional calculations.

Warm Up Exercises
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.
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
hamstrings, 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
hamstrings, 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 (not pictured)
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.
