Next, wrap the heart rate moni-

tor around your chest and attach the other end of the chest strap to the sensor unit. Adjust the length of the chest strap, if necessary. The I heart rate monitor should be under your clothing, tight against your skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the logo on the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-side-up.

Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side. The electrode areas are the areas covered by shallow ridges. Using saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit to a position against your chest.

############ HEART RATE MONITOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Thoroughly dry the heart rate monitor after each use. The heart rate monitor is activated when the electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate monitor is put on; the heart rate monitor shuts off when it is removed and the electrode areas are dried.

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 result from weather conditions or from other appliances being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at the right).

Lug i MetalScrew

Surge suppressors are sold at most hardware stores and department stores. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or Iess and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules. The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly 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

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The treadmill console offers an impressive array of features designed to make your workouts more effective.

When the console is in the manual mode, the speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with a touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will display instant exercise feedback--you can watch your progress on the LED "track," while the four displays show your heart rate, the number of calories burned, the incline, workout time, speed, pace, distance, and laps completed.

Eight preset programs are also offered: three incline programs automatically control the incline of the treadmill as they guide you through effective workouts; three speed programs automatically control the speed of the treadmill; and two pulse driven programs automatically control the speed and the incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate within a predetermined range during your workouts.

The console also features two custom programs that allow you to create your own workout programs and store them in the console's memory for future use.

To use the manual mode, follow the steps beginning on page 10. To use an incline program or a speed program, see page 12. To use a pulse driven program, see page 13. To create a custom program, see page 14. To use a custom program, see page 15.

Note: The console can display speed and distance in either miles or kilometers (see SPEED/PACE DISPLAY on page 11). For simplicity, all instructions in this section refer to miles.

HOW TO ADJUST THE CUSHION LEVEL OF THE TREADMILL

The treadmill is specially designed to cushion the impact as you walk or run. The cushion level is controlled with the knob on the right side of the treadmill. For a softer cushion level, turn the knob counterclockwise. For a firmer cushion level, turn the knob clockwise. Note: The faster you run on the treadmill, the firmer the cushion level should be. If the cushion level is too soft, the treadmill may bounce excessively.

To stop the program momentarily, press the STOP button once. All displays will pause and the INCLINE/ TIME display will begin to flash. To restart the program, press the START button. To end the program before it is completed, hold down the STOP button for two seconds. The console will then be in the same state as if the key had just been inserted.

Follow your progress with the LED displays.

Refer to step 7 on page 11.

############ Remove the key from the console.

When the program has ended, remove the key from the console. All displays and indicators on the console will darken.

######### CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

Burning Fat

To burn fat, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goat is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise untii your heart rate is near the low end of your training zone as you exercise.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember--these are general guidelines. For more detailed information about exercise, obtain a book or consult your physician.

############ EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or strengthen your cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. For effective exercise, your heart rate should be maintained at a level between 70% and 85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise. This is known as your training zone.

############ Aerobic Exercise

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be "aerobic." Aerobic exercise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the

You can find your training zone in the table below. Training zones are listed according to age and physical condition.

lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the middle of your training zone.

Training Zone(Beats/Min,) Age Unconditioned Conditioned

############ WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three important parts: (1) a warm-up, (2) training zone exercise, and (3) a coo!-down.

20 138-167 133-162 25 136-166 132-160 30 135-164 130-158 35 134-162 129-156 40 132-161 127-155 45 131-159 125-153 50 129-156 124-150 55 127-155 122-149 60 126-153 121-147 65 125-151 119-145 70 123-150 118-144 75 122-147 117-142 80 120-146 115-140 85 118-144 114-139

############ Warm-up

Warming up prepares the body for exercise by increasing circulation, delivering more oxygen to the muscles, and raising the body temperature. Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise to warm up (see SUGGESTED STRETCHES on page 21).

############ Training Zone Exercise

After warming up, increase the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is in your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise--never hold your breath.


Cool-down
