A beginner will want to term goals, always begin an exercise program at low intensity, Aerobic exercise does not have to be painful to workout in the 60% range while be beneficial! There are two ways to measure your exercise intensity, The first is by monitoring your heart rate (using the grip pulse handlebars or a wireless chest transmitter (for El200 only) - may be sold separately), and the second is by evaluating your perceived exertion level (this is simpler than it sounds!). iii_i a more experienced exerciser will want to workout in the 70-75% range. See chart for reference. PERCEIVED EXERTION LEVEL A simple way to gauge your exercise intensity is to evaluate your perceived exertion level. While exercising, ifyou are too winded to maintain a conversation without gasping, you are working out too hard. A good rule of thumb EXAMPLE: is to work to the point of exhilaration, not exhaustion. If you cannot catch your breath, it's time to slow down. For a 42-year-old user: Find age along the bottom of the chart (round to 40), follow age column up to Always be aware of these warning signs of overexertion. the target zone bar, Results: 60% of maximum Heart Rate = 108 Beats Per Minute, 75% of maximum Heart Rate = 135 Beat Per Minute.

ARETHESOUNDS MYELLIPTICAL MAKES NORMAL? We use sealed bearings throughout our ellipticals so lubrication is not needed, The most important Our elliptlcals are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic maintenance steps are to wipe perspiration off the unit after each use and periodically checking the resistance. Weuse the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance assembly bolts for tightness, 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. Thesemechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the transfer HOWdO I CLEANMYELLIPTICAL?
