Welcome to
the World of
TrueForm
Running
Non-motorized curved treadmills are the
preferred training tool of special forces, pro-
athletes, college teams, gym franchises,
personal trainers, lifestyle runners, and
physiotherapists. Their reasons for choosing a
TrueForm may differ, but they all share one thing
in common: Form is their Focus and TrueForm’s
prole is the key to performance improvement.
Studies at USC’s Department of Exercise
Science, highlight the TrueForm difference:
Signicant changes in gait characteristics (step
length, stride length, imbalance score, and stride
angle) were attributed to a series of 4-minute
runs on the TrueForm Runner. Importantly, those
changes were maintained when participants
swapped to alternative surfaces.
TrueForm Runners and Trainers are the perfect
tools, from beginners to pros, to cue running
form and retrain your gait.

Safety
precautions
1. Consult with a physician before beginning
any exercise program, especially if any of the
following are relevant to you: pregnancy; a
history of heart disease; high blood pressure;
diabetes; chronic respiratory disease;
elevated cholestral; smoker; or experience
any other chronic diseases or physical
impairments.
2. If at any time during exercise you experience
dizziness, chest pains, nausea, or any other
abnormal symptoms, immediately discontinue
use and consult a physician before using your
TrueForm again.
3. Keep all loose clothing, shoelaces, and
towels away from the treadmill running
surface while in use.
4. Always exercise care and use handrails when
mounting or dismounting the treadmill.
5. Never enter or exit the treadmill while the
running belt is moving.
6. Assemble and operate the treadmill on a solid
and level surface.
7. As the treadmill is non-motorized, there is no
emergency stop lanyard. The treadmill will
come to a stop on its own.
8. A treadmill running belt may not stop
immediately if any object becomes caught in
the belt or rollers.
9. Never leave children unsupervised around a
treadmill.
10.The TrueForm Runner is buit to handle
runners weighing up to 750 lbs at speeds
between 0-4mph and up to 550 lbs at speeds
up to 18 mph.
11. Wear proper athletic shoes, such as those
with rubber or high-traction soles. Do not use
shoes with heels or leather soles.
12.Allow several minutes to bring your heart rate
into the training zone shown below in this
manual. Walk slowly after your workout to
allow your body time to cool down and your
pulse rate to decrease.

Know your
heart rate
Measuring your Heart Rate
We recommend that you use a heart rate
monitor to measure your pulse during a
workout. However, you may also measure your
pulse manually by placing your ngers on the
underside of your wrist or either side of your
throat. While looking at the second hand on your
watch, count how many heartbeats your feel
within fteen (15) seconds. Multiply this number
by four to get your Beats Per Minute (BPM).
Know your Maximum Heart Rate
To approximate your heart rate, the general
formula is to subtract your age from 220.
This formula is used by the American Heart
Association and The American College of Sports
Medicine. A stress test administered by your
physician is the most accurate way to determine
your true maximum heart rate. The American
Heart Association recommends that you have a
stress test done if you have any history of heart
disease or if you are over the age of 40 and
beginning an exercise program.
During exercise it is recommended that you
maintain your target zone and not exceed 85% of
your maximum heart rate. Your target zone is an
area between 60% and 75% of your maximum
heart rate. Should you nd your heart rate above
the 75% level you should decrease the intensity
of your tness program.
