having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. Plug the power cord Into a surge
protector, and plug the surge protector Into an ap-
propriate outlet that Is properly Installed end
grounded In accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug Illus-
treted in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated In drawing 2 may be
"used to connect _e surge protector to a 2-pole recep-
tacle as shown in drawing 2 if a propedy grounded out-
let is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only untila
propedy grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home's power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can re-
suit from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off.
To decrease the pos-
sibility of your tread- 1
mill being damaged,
always use a surge
protector (not in-
cluded) with your
treadmill.
Surge protectors are
sold at most hardware
stores and department
stores. Use only a UL-_'
listed surge protector,
rated at 15 amps, with a
14-gauge cord of five
feet or less in length.
This product must be
grounded. If itshould
malfunction or break
down, grounding pro-
vides a path of least re-
sistance for electric cur-
rent to reduce the risk of
The green-colored dgid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a propedy grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held In place
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box c_ver Is
grounded before using an adapter.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
14
The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-
ercise program. Remember--these are general guide-
lines. For more detailed information about exercise,
obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether you want to bum fat, strengthen your cardio-
vascular system, or increase your athletic perfor-
mance, you can tailor your exercise to your specific
goals. The key to achieving the desired results isto ex-
emise with the proper intensity.
Fat Burning
To bum fat effectively, you must exercise at a relaUvety
low intensity level for a sustained period oftime.
During the first few mlnutesof exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for en-
ergy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.
Ifyour goal is to bum fat, adjust the speed control on
the console to FAT BURN. (See page 8.)
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascularsys-
tem, your exercise must be "aerobic." Aerobic exercise
is activitythat requires large amounts of oxygen for
prolonged periods oftime. This Increases the demand
on the head to pump bloodto the muscles, and on the
lungs to oxygenate the blood. The proper intensity
level for aerobic exercise can be found by using your
pulse as a guide. As you exercise, your pulse should
be kept at alevel between 70% and 85% of your maxi-
mum .possibleheart rate. This is known as your train-
ing zone. You can find your training zone in the table
at the top ofthis page. Training zones are listed ac-
Cordingto age and physical condition.
During the first few monthsof your exercise program,
keep your pulse near the low end of your training zone

as you exercise. After a few months of regular exer-
cise, your pulse can be gradually increased untilit is
near the middle of your training zone as you exercise.
You can measure your pulse using the pulse sensor.
Exercise for about four minutes, and then measure
your pulse immediately. If your pulse is too high or too
Iow,.edjustthe intensity of your exercise. It may also
be helpfulto set the speed control on the console to
AEROBIC tohelp you maintain the proper intensity
level. (.Seepage 8.)
Performance Training
Ifyour goal is high performance athletic conditioning,
set the speed controlon the console to PERFOR-
MANCE to help you maintain the proper intensity level.
(See page 8.)
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include three pads: (1) a warm-
up, (2) training zone exercise, and (3) a cool-down.
Warm-up
Warming up prepares the body for exercise by increas-
ingcirculation,delivering more oxygen to the muscles
and raisingthe body temperature. Begin each workout
with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise to
warm up (see SUGGESTED STRETCHES on page 15).

Training Zone Exercise
After warming up, increase the intensity of your exer-
cise until your pulse isin your training zone for 20 to
60 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exer-
cise program, do not keep your pulse in your training
zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly
and deeply as you exemise--never hold your breath.
Cool-down
Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your
muscles and will help to prevent post-exercise problems.
Exercise Frequency
To maintain or improve your condifion, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of restbe-
tween workouts. After a few months, you may com-
plete up to five workouts each week if desired.
The key tosuccess is to make exerctse.a regular and
enjoyable part ofyour everyday life.
