HEART RATE
TARGET HEART RATE ZONE CHART
CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
2322
HANDLEBARS
Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for
your heart rate to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to
register. When gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly. You may experience an erratic readout
if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper
contact can be maintained.
WARNING: Do not prress excessively hard on the sensor as this may cause damage.
What is Target Heart Rate Zone?
Target Heart Rate Zone tells you the number
of times per minute your heart needs to beat to
achieve a desired workout effect. It is represented
as a percentage of the maximum number of times
your heart can beat per minute. Target Zone will vary
for each individual, depending on age, current level
of conditioning, and personal fitness goals. The
American Heart Association recommends working-
out at a Target Heart Rate Zone of between 60%
and 75% of your maximum heart rate. A beginner
will want to workout in the 60% range while a more
experienced exerciser will want to workout in the
70-75% range. See chart for reference.
EXAMPLE:
For a 42-year-old user: Find age along the bottom of the chart (round to 40), follow age column up to the
target zone bar. Results: 60% of maximum Hear Rate = 108 Beats Per Minute, 75% of maximum Heart
Rate = 135 Beat Per Minute.
ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE BEGINNING AN EXERCISE PROGRAM.
ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE BEGINNING AN EXERCISE PROGRAM.
HOW OFTEN? (Frequency of Workouts)
The American Heart Association recommends that you exercise at least 3 to 4 days per week to maintain
cardiovascular fitness. If you have other goals such as weight or fat loss, you will achieve your goal faster
with more frequent exercise. Whether it’s 3 days or 6 days, remember that your ultimate goal should be to
make exercise a lifetime habit. Many people are successful staying with a fitness program if they set aside
a specific time of day to exercise. It doesn’t matter whether it’s in the morning before breakfast, during
lunch hour or while watching the evening news. What’s more important is that it’s a time that allows you to
keep a schedule, and a time when you won’t be interrupted. To be successful with your fitness program,
you have to make it a priority in your life. So decide on a time, pull out your day planner and pencil in your
exercise times for the next month!
HOW LONG? (Duration of Workouts)
For aerobic exercise benefits, it’s recommended that you exercise from between 24 and 60 minutes per
session. But start slowly and gradually increase your exercise times. If you’ve been sedentary during the
past year, it may be a good idea to keep your exercise times to as little as five minutes initially. Your body
will need time to adjust to the new activity. If your goal is weight loss, a longer exercise session at lower
intensities has been found to be most effective. A workout time of 48 minutes or more is recommended
for best weight loss results.
HOW HARD? (Intensity of Workouts)
How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your machine to prepare for a 5K
workout, you will probably work out at a higher intensity than if your goal is general fitness. Regardless
of your long term goals, always begin an exercise program at low intensity. Aerobic exercise does not
have to be painful to be beneficial! There are two ways to measure your exercise intensity. The first is
by monitoring your heart rate(using the grip pulse handlebars), and the second is by evaluating your
perceived exertion level(this is simpler than it sounds!).
PERCEIVED EXERTION LEVEL
A simple way to gauge your exercise intensity is to evaluate your perceived exertion level. While
exercising, if you are too winded to maintain a conversation without gasping, you are working out too
hard. A good rule of thumb is to work to the point of exhilaration, not exhaustion. If you cannot catch your
breath, it’s time to slow down. Always be aware of these warning signs of overexertion.

WARM UP
The first 2 to 5 minutes of a workout should be devoted to warming up. The warm-up will limber your
muscles and prepare them for more strenuous exercise. Make sure that you warm-up on your product
at a slow pace. The warm up should gradually bring your heart rate into your Target Heart Rate Zone.
COOL DOWN
Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period of 3-5 minutes allows your heart to readjust to the
decreased demand. Make sure that your cool down period consists of a very slow pace to allow your
heart rate to lower. After the cool-down, repeat the stretching exercises listed previously to loosen and
relax your muscles.
An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your
primary goal for exercising to lose weight? Improve muscle? Reduce stress? Prepare for the spring
racing schedule? Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise
program. Below are some common exercise goals:
• Weight Loss - lower intensity, longer duration workouts
• Improve Body Shape and Tone - interval workouts, alternate between high and low intensities
• Increased Energy Level - more frequent daily workouts
• Improved Sports Performance - high intensity workouts
• Improved Cardiovascular Endurance - moderate intensity, longer duration workouts
If possible try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms, and then put your goals
in writing. The more specific you can be, the easier it will be to track your progress. If your goals are
long term, divide them up into monthly and weekly segments. Longer term goals can lose some of the
immediate motivation benefits. Short term goals are easier to achieve. Your console provides you with
several readouts that can be used to record your progress. You can track Distance, Calories or Time.
KEEPING AN EXERCISE DIARY
To make your personal exercise log book, photocopy the weekly and monthly log sheets, which are
located on the following pages.
As your fitness improves, you can look back and see how far you’ve come!
ACHIEVING YOUR FITNESS GOALS
STRETCH FIRST
Before using your product, it is best to take a few minutes to do a few gentle stretching exercises.
Stretching prior to exercise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise related injury. Ease
into each of these stretches with a slow gentle motion. Do not stretch to the point of pain. Make sure
not to bounce while doing these stretches.
1. STANDING CALF MUSCLE STRETCH
Stand near a wall with the toes of your left foot about 18" from the wall,
and the right foot about 12" behind the other foot. Lean forward, pushing
against the wall with your palms. Keep your heels flat and hold this position
for a count of 15 seconds. Make sure that you do not bounce while
stretching. Repeat on the other side.
2. STANDING QUADRICEP STRETCH
Using a wall to provide balance, grasp your left ankle
with your left hand and hold your foot against the back
of your thigh for 15 seconds. Repeat with your right
ankle and hand.
3. SITTING HAMSTRING & LOWER BACK MUSCLE STRETCH
Sit on the floor with your legs together and straight out in front of you. Do
not lock your knees. Extend your fingers towards your toes and hold for a
count of 15 seconds. Make sure that you do not bounce while stretching.
Sit upright again. Repeat one time.

• The adapter is not pinched or damaged and is properly plugged into the outlet AND the machine.
• The power switch is turned to the ON position (may not apply to all models).
• Turn off the machine and unplug power cord. Remove the console and check that all connections
to the console are secure and not damaged or pinched.
PROBLEM: The console lights up but the Time/RPM’s do not count.
SOLUTION: Verify the following:
• Turn off machine and unplug power cord. Remove the console and check that all connections to the
console are secure and not damaged or pinched.
• If doing the above does not fix the problem, the speed senor and/or magnet may have become
disloged or damaged
PROBLEM: The resistance levels seem to be incorrect, seeming too hard or too easy.
SOLUTION: Verify the following:
• The correct adapter is being used. Only use the adapter provided or authorized by Treo Fitness.
• Reset the console and allow the resistance to reset to the default position. Restart and retry the
resistance levels.
PROBLEM: The elliptical makes a squeaking or chirping noise.
SOLUTION: Verify the following:
• The elliptical is on a level surface.
• Loosen all bolts attached during the assembly process, grease the threads, and tighten again.
PROBLEM: There is no heart rate reading.
SOLUTION: Remove the console and verify that the heart rate cables are attached properly, making
sure that the cables are securely inserted into the console.
Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as high power lines, large motors, etc.
YOU MAY EXPERIENCE AN ERRATIC READOUT UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
• Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to maintain moderate pressure while holding
onto the heart rate handlebars.
• Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding the heart rate grips while exercising.
• When you are breathing heavily during a workout.
• When your hands are constricted by wearing a ring.
• When your hands are dry or cold. Try moistening your palms or rubbing them together to warm.
• Anyone with heavy arrhythmia.
• Anyone with arteriosclerosis or peripheral circulation disorder.
• Anyone whose skin on the measuring palms is especially thick.
NOTE: Outside interference sources such as computers, motors and fluorescent lights may cause the
heart rate reading to be erratic.
If the above troubleshooting section does not remedy the problem, discontinue use and turn the power off.
The following information may be asked of you when you call. Please have these items readily available:
• Model Name
• Serial Number
• Date of Purchase (receipt or credit card statement)
In order for your local dealer to service your elliptical, they may need to ask detailed questions about the
symptoms that are occurring. Some troubleshooting questions that may be asked are:
• How long has this problem been occurring?
• Does this problem occur with every use? With every user?
• If you are hearing a noise, does it come from the front, back or inside? What kind of noise is it
(thumping, grinding, squeaking, chirping etc.)?
• If you are having a resistance problem what is occurring? Is the resistance always too hard or too easy?
Does the resistance respond when pushing the buttons on the console? Does the resistance constantly
cycle through the levels during the workout?
• Has the machine been maintained per the maintenance schedule?
• Does the problem occur when using the handlebars? Without using the handlebars?
Answering these and other questions will give the technicians the ability to send proper replacement parts
and the service necessary to get you and your Treo Fitness elliptical running again!

ARE THE SOUNDS MY ELLIPTICAL MAKES NORMAL? WHAT KIND OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED?
HOW DO I CLEAN MY ELLIPTICAL?
AFTER EACH USE (DAILY)
WHY IS THE ELLIPTICAL I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?
HOW LONG WILL THE DRIVE BELT LAST?
CAN I MOVE THE TRAINER EASILY ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED?
CAN I PEDAL BACKWARDS ON MY ELLIPTICAL?
Our ellipticals are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free
magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However,
because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical
noises. Unlike older, louder technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises
to mask these sounds on our ellipticals. These mechanical noises, which may or may not be
intermittent, are normal and are caused by the transfer of
significant amounts of energy to a rapidly
spinning flywheel. All bearings, belts and other rotating parts will generate some noise which will
transmit through the casing and frame. It is also normal for these sounds to change slightly during
a workout and over time because of thermal expansion of the parts.
We use sealed bearings throughout our ellipticals so lubrication is not needed. The most important
maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the trainer after each use.
Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts.
Cleanliness of your elliptical and its operating environment will keep maintenance problems and
service calls to a minimum. For this reason, Treo Fitness recommends that the following preventive
maintenance schedule be followed.

• Wipe down the elliptical with a damp cloth. Never use solvents, as they can cause damage to
the elliptical.
• Inspect the power cord. If the power cord is damaged, contact your local dealer .
• Make sure the power cord is not underneath the elliptical or in any other area where it can become
pinched or cut.
WEEKLY

• Turn off the elliptical.
• Move the elliptical to a remote location.
• Wipe or vacuum any dust particles or other objects that may have accumulated underneath the
elliptical.

All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more
background noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete
floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation
through the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.
The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of maintenance free hours.
Belts are now commonly used in far more demanding applications such as motorcycle drives.
Your elliptical has a pair of transport wheels built into the front legs. It is easy to move your
elliptical by rolling it on the front transport wheels. It is important that you place your elliptical in a
comfortable and inviting room. Your elliptical is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people
will place their ellipticals facing the TV or a picture window. If at all possible, avoid putting your
elliptical in a unfinished basement. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the elliptical
should be in a comfortable setting.
Your elliptical allows you to pedal both forward and backwards to exercise and strengthen a wider
range of muscles.
