in place).
STEP 5: After training, you can press the MODE button to display the accumulated
data for Speed, Time, Distance and Calories that were recorded during
training.
STEP 6: In pause or stop mode, if you press the MODE button for 3 seconds this will
erase all accumulated data and revert back to the idle mode.
STEP 7: Before training, press the MODE button to enter countdown setting for
Time, (range is from 10:00 to 99:00), Distance (range is from 0.1 to 99.9)
or Calories (range is from 0.0 to 999.9). During setting, you could press
FAST/SLOW to adjust the value or press MODE button to enter next step
whether you have preset values or not. When you set single or multi-

EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS
Using your Trojan Marathon 210 Treadmill provides you with several benets, it will improve your physical
tness, tone muscle and in conjunction with a calorie controlled diet, help you lose weight.
THE WARM UP PHASE
This stage helps get the blood owing around the body and the muscles working properly. It will also reduce
the risk of cramp and muscle injury. It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises as shown below. Each
stretch should be held for approximately 30 seconds, do not force or jerk your muscles into a stretch.
If it hurts, STOP.
This is the stage where you put the effort in. After regular use, the muscles in your legs will become stronger.
Work at your own pace, but it is very important to maintain a steady tempo throughout. The rate of work
should be sufcient to raise your heart beat into the target zone shown on the graph below.
This stage is to let your Cardiovascular System and muscles wind down. This is a repeat of the warm up
exercise i.e. reduce your tempo, continue for approximately 5 minutes. The stretching exercises should now
be repeated, again remembering not to force or jerk your muscles into the stretch.
As you get tter you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least 3 times a week,
and if possible space your workouts evenly throughout the week.

EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS
MUSCLE TONING
To tone muscle while on your Trojan Marathon 210 Treadmill you will need to have the resistance set quite
high. This will put more strain on your leg muscles and may mean you cannot train for as long as you would
like. If you are also trying to improve your tness, you need to alter your training program. You should train
as normal during the warm up and cool down phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase you should
increase resistance, making your legs work harder than normal. You may have to reduce your speed to keep
your heart rate in the target zone.
WEIGHT LOSS
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work the more
calories you will burn.

FITNESS TIPS & TECHNIQUES
VISIT:
www.trojanhealth.co.za for equipment choices and exercise programs.
AEROBIC EXERCISE
Aerobic exercise is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your muscles via your heart and lungs.
Aerobic exercise improves the tness of your lungs and heart − your body’s most important muscle. Aerobic
exercise tness is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscles (arms, legs, or buttocks, for
example). Your heart beats quickly and you breathe deeply. An aerobic exercise should form part of your
entire exercise routine.
WEIGHT TRAINING
Along with aerobic exercising which helps get rid of and keep off the excess fat that our bodies can store,
weight training is an essential part of the exercise routine process. Weight training helps tone, build and
strengthen muscle. If you are working above your target zone, you may want to do a lesser amount of reps.
Always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
MUSCLE CHART
The exercise routine that is performed on the Trojan Marathon 210 Treadmill will develop the lower body
muscle group as well as condition the circulatory system and provide a good aerobic workout. These muscle
groups are highlighted on the muscle chart below.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for
several years, or are severely overweight, you must start slowly and increase your time on the equipment, a
few minutes per workout.
Initially, you may be able to exercise only for a few minutes in your target zone, however, your aerobic
tness will improve over the next 6 to 8 weeks. Don’t be discouraged if it takes longer. It’s important
to work at your own pace. The better your aerobic tness, the harder you will have to work to stay in your
target zone. Please remember these essentials:
• Have your doctor review your training and diet programs to advise you of a workout routine you should adopt.
• Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your doctor.
• Monitor your pulse frequently.
• Establish your target heart rate based on your age and condition.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
To maximise the benets of exercising, it is important to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper
intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate
should be maintained at a level between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise. This is
known as your target zone. You can nd your target zone in the table below.
During the rst few months of your exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low end of your target
zone as you exercise. After a few months, your heart rate can be increased gradually until it is near the middle
of your target zone as you exercise.
To measure your heart rate, stop exercising but continue moving your legs or walking around and place 2
ngers on your wrist. Take a 6 second heartbeat count and multiply the results by 10 to nd your heart rate.
For example, if your 6 second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. (A 6 second
count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop exercising).
Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is at the proper level.
