7. EXERCISE GUIDE
PLEASE NOTE: Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician. This is important
especially if you are over the age of 45 or individuals with pre-existing health problems.
The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user’s movement, may
affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as an exercise aid in
determining heart rate trends in general.
Exercising is great way to control your weight, improving your fitness and reduce the effect of aging and stress.
The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
The condition of your heart and lungs and how efficient they are in delivering oxygen via your blood to your
muscles is an important factor to your fitness. Your muscles use this oxygen to provide enough energy for daily
activity. This is called aerobic activity. When you are fit, your heart will not have to work so hard. It will pump a lot
fewer times per minute, reducing the wear and tear of your heart.
So as you can see, the fitter you are, the healthier and greater you will feel.

XT-38
Warm-up
Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and some light exercises. A proper warm-up increases
your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise. Ease into your exercise.
Training Zone Exercise
After warming up, increase the intensity to your desired exercise program. Be sure to maintain your intensity for
maximum performance. Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise.
Cool Down
Finish each workout with a light jog or walk for at least 1 minute. Then complete 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to
cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-exercise problems.

Workout Guidelines
TARGET ZONE
This is how your pulse should behave during general fitness exercise. Remember to warm up
and cool down for a few minutes.
The most important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work, the more
calories you will burn.

XT-38
Hand Pulse Technology
This product comes equipped with hand pulse sensors which are used to pick up tiny EKG/ECG signals that run
through the body when your heart beats. These electrical EKG/ECG signals are very small and that they must be
amplified 1000 times to make the signal useful for the computer to display your pulse.
To ensure proper operation:
-The user must maintain good, consistent contact on all four sensors
-The users skin cannot be too dry or too wet
Other factors that could affect the reading:
-Change of grip on the sensors (during slow pace walking and up to running)
-Tightening of hand muscles will produce small electrical signals
-Static electricity charges from the air or from walking on the treadmill
EKG/ECG Sensors may filter through actual EKG/ECG signals and “Noise” factors that may affect the reading. This will
cause the pulse reading to be delayed and will take longer to update the display as the heart rate changes. Too much
noise will create an incorrect reading. Medical conditions or having no electrical signal in the hands are other factors
that may affect pulse readings as well.
These are limitations of hand pulse technology and even the most expensive systems (which can cost upwards of
$3,000) used in hospitals have the same problems. The difference is that a patient in a hospital is not running on a
treadmill. Hand pulse technology works well on stationary exercise machines like bikes and even elliptical cross
trainers but are not perfect on a treadmill. We offer treadmills with a wireless heart rate receiver which may be a
more accurate option.
To test if your hand pulse sensors are working up to specification, hold them while standing on the side step rails,
not walking, and see if the reading is more in line with what you would expect. This will eliminate the movement and
static electricity factors. If your hands are dry, then wet them slightly (saliva works as a great conductor if this
doesn’t bother you).
