HOW TO MOVE THE INCLINE TRAINER
HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD IN THE
UNITED STATES
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock.
This product is for use on a dedicated, 20-amp,
120-volt circuit. No other appliance should be on
the same circuit. This product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug.
Plug the grounding plug into a standard NEMA 5-20
receptacle. Do not modify the plug or the receptacle.
Do not use an adapter, a surge protector, or an exten-
sion cord. The receptacle must be grounded.
HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD IN THE UK
This product must be earthed. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, earthing provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock.
This product is for use on a dedicated, 10-amp,
240-volt circuit. No other appliance should be on
the same circuit. The product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-earthing conductor and an earth-
ing plug.
Plug the earthing plug
into a receptacle as
shown at the right. Do
not modify the plug or
the receptacle. Do not
use an adapter or an ex-
tension cord. The recep-
tacle must be earthed.
HOW TO CONNECT A CATV CABLE
If your INCLINE TRAINER has the Workout TV con-
sole, a CATV cable must be connected to the IN-
CLINE TRAINER for cable TV stations to be viewed.
Locate the cable
jack on the front of
the INCLINE
TRAINER.
Connect the CATV
cable to the cable
jack (in the UK use
a PAL adapter [not
included]). Route
the cable so that it
will not be pinched or crushed by the lift mechanism or
the frame.
A satellite receiver, VCR, or DVD player can also be
connected to the INCLINE TRAINER. Connect a CATV
cable from the coaxial output on your equipment (usu-
ally labeled TV OUT or RF OUT) to the cable jack on
the front of the INCLINE TRAINER.
Note: Audio/video equipment without coaxial outputs
(some satellite receivers and DVD players) will require
an RF modulator to work correctly. RF modulators are
not available from FreeMotion Fitness, but are avail-
able at electronics stores. See the owner's manual for
the equipment you wish to connect to determine if an
RF modulator is needed, or contact your local
audio/visual service provider.
DANGER: Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service-
man if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product—if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use
an adapter to connect the plug to an improper
receptacle.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The Basic console offers an impressive array of fea-
tures designed to help you get the greatest benefits
from your exercise.
When the QUICK START mode is selected, the speed
and incline of the INCLINE TRAINER can be changed
with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console
will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can
even measure your heart rate using the built-in pulse
sensor.
In addition, the console offers a wide selection of work-
out programs. Each program automatically controls the
speed and/or incline of the INCLINE TRAINER to give
you an effective workout.
The console also offers three HEART RATE programs
that adjust the speed and incline of the INCLINE
TRAINER to keep your heart rate near target levels
during your workouts, and three unique FITNESS
TEST programs that measure your relative fitness
level. Note: The HEART RATE programs and the FIT-
NESS TEST programs require the use of a Polar®-com-
patible chest pulse sensor (not included).

the plastic. To mea-
sure your heart rate,
stand on the foot rails
and hold the contacts
with both hands; your
palms must be resting on the upper contacts, and your
fingers must be touching the lower contacts. Avoid
moving your hands. When your pulse is detected, the
PULSE indicator above the main display will begin to
flash, and then your heart rate will be shown. For the
most accurate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for
at least 15 seconds without moving your hands.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your
hands are positioned as described. Be careful not to
move your hands excessively or to squeeze the con-
tacts too tightly. For optimal performance, clean the
contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abra-
sives, or chemicals.
CAUTION: Before operating the
console, read the following precautions.
Do not stand on the walking belt when turn-
ing on the power.
Always wear the clip (see the drawing on
page 17) while operating the INCLINE
TRAINER.

avoid sudden jumps in speed.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is in-
tended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
If you have heart problems, or if you are over
60 years of age and have been inactive, do
not use the HEART RATE or FITNESS TEST
programs. If you are taking medication regu-
larly, consult your physician to find whether
the medication will affect your exercise heart
rate.

HOW TO USE A FITNESS TEST PROGRAM
The FITNESS TEST programs measure your approxi-
mate VO2max, or aerobic capacity. VO2max is a
measure of your ability to take in and utilize oxygen to
generate energy for endurance activities such as run-
ning and cycling. In technical terms, VO2max is the
maximum volume of oxygen, in milliliters, that your
body can use in one minute, per kilogram of body
weight. A high VO2max indicates a high level of car-
diorespiratory fitness. Note: To learn more about VO2
max, refer to a reputable book or consult your physician.
For the most accurate results, use a FITNESS TEST
program when you are not feeling tired, when you have
not eaten for at least two hours, and when you have not
exercised for at least 24 hours.
The GERKIN FITNESS TEST is completed when your
heart rate stays greater than 85% of your age-predicted
maximum heart rate for 15 seconds, or when the pro-
gram reaches 11 minutes. Note: The GERKIN FIT-
NESS TEST begins with a 3-minute warm-up.
The EBBELING FITNESS TEST is completed in 9 min-
utes.
The FREEMOTION FITNESS TEST is completed when
your heart rate reaches greater than 70% of your age-
predicted maximum heart rate, or when the program
reaches 30 minutes.

EXERCISE STEPS
The following nine steps for designing your exercise
program were developed by exercise physiologists at
FreeMotion Fitness. The actual exercise you perform
is only a part of a safe and effective training program.
There are many other aspects to developing a life-long
commitment to physical fitness.
Consult your physician before beginning
any exercise program.
A medical examination or consultation with your
physician is essential.
Establish personal fitness goals.
Set attainable, realistic goals. Reward yourself
when you meet your goals. Remember, your
goals should act as a guide for your workout
program.
Determine your target heart rate.
Your target heart rate (THR), is the rate at which
you would like your heart to work during aerobic
exercise. It is expressed as a percentage of your
maximum heart rate (MHR). MHR is the maximum
number of times that your heart can pump during
one minute. To determine your approximate MHR,
subtract your age (in years) from 220. This is only
an estimation of your MHR—only clinical stress
testing can provide an actual MHR reading.
Once you have determined your MHR, you can
establish your target heart rate zone. Beginning
exercisers may wish to start at 60 to 70 percent of
their MHR. This level is called the Health level.
Exercise at 70 to 85 percent of your MHR for the
optimal training, aerobic, or cardiovascular level—
the Fitness level. Advanced exercisers, or those
wishing to do sports, athletic conditioning, or inter-
val training workouts should exercise at 80 to 85
percent of the MHR for short periods of time. The
chart below shows Target Heart Rate Zones for
Health, Fitness, and Advanced exercisers.
Be sure to check your heart rate at least twice
during an aerobic conditioning session. First,
check your heart rate five minutes into your work-
out to be sure that you are at the proper intensity.
Then, check it again near the end of your workout
to verify that you have maintained your target
heart rate for the recommended period of time.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
40
Warm up before you begin.
A warm-up routine prepares your body and mind
for vigorous exercise. It also helps provide insur-
ance against injury and soreness. Warm up with
two to five minutes of slow exercise, at minimal in-
tensity.
Stretch after your warm-up.
A pliable, well-stretched muscle is less suscepti-
ble to injury. Perform the recommended stretches
on a smooth, flat surface.
The correct form for several stretches is described
below (see the drawings at the right). Be sure to
move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch—Sit with your knees bent
slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips.
Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you
reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for
15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times.
Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees, and back.
2. Calf/Achilles Stretch—With one leg in front of
the other, reach forward and place your hands
against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and
your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front
leg, lean forward, and move your hips toward the
wall. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax.
Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further
stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back
leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons,
and ankles.
3. Hamstring Stretch—Sit with one leg extended.
Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and
rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg.
Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold
for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times
for both legs. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back,
and groin.
4. Inner Thigh Stretch—Sit with the soles of your
feet together and your knees outward. Pull your
feet toward your groin area as far as possible.
Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3
times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
5. Quadriceps Stretch—With one hand against a
wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot
with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to
your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 to 30
seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg.
Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

WEIGHT LOSS TIPS
At least four, 30-minute workouts per week,
along with a reduced-calorie diet, are
recommended if you are trying to lose weight.
However, be sure to stay within your target heart
rate zone and exercise a maximum of 5 days per
week for 60 minutes per workout.
Good posture is the key to safe, comfortable
workouts. Keep your chin up and your head
facing forward. Align your head and shoulders
with your hips. Avoid leaning forward. Keep your
back straight.

Get FIT with FreeMotion Fitness.
Effective aerobic exercise has three major parts:
frequency,intensity, and time. The acronym "FIT"
may help you to remember these three parts:
“F” stands for the frequency of your work-
outs. Three to five workouts per week are
recommended. Exercise at least four times a
week for weight loss.
“I” refers to the intensity of your workout.
Check your heart rate at least twice during
your aerobic exercise session: once during the
session and once again at the end. Maintain a
workout intensity level within your Target Heart
Rate Zone. You can measure your heart rate
using the handgrip pulse sensor or the method
described below:
1. Lower your wrist below your heart level. This
will make your heart rate stronger and easier to
feel.
2. Using the tips
of the index and
middle fingers of
your right hand,
touch your left
wrist, one-fourth
inch from your
wrist joint, at the
base of your
thumb.
3. Apply minimal pressure with both fingers—let
the beat come to your fingers. If you can't find
your pulse, use the opposite wrist and hand.
“T” is for the time or duration of your workout.
Beginning exercisers may wish to start with 5
to 10 minutes of aerobic activity. Those in aver-
age physical condition should exercise for 20 to
30 minutes. Highly fit people, or people who want
to lose weight, should exercise for 30 to 60 min-
utes. The key is to maintain your target heart rate
for the duration of the workout period.
Remember to take it slowly. Fitness is a lifelong
commitment. If you can't go the full 20 minutes
from the start, which is common, try to exercise
for five minutes at a time, a couple of times a day.
Recent research indicates that several short
workouts in one day can also provide fitness
benefits. Gradually, your stamina will increase
and it will become easier to exercise for longer
periods of time.
Cool down after aerobic exercise.
Keep moving! It is important that you cool down
properly to allow your heart rate to decrease
slowly after it has been elevated. This helps the
blood flow from your extremities back to your
heart. Keep your legs moving on the INCLINE
TRAINER at a slower pace for at least five min-
utes following the aerobic phase.
Stretch again at the end of your exercise
session.
Stretching after exercise reduces muscle sore-
ness. See step 5 on page 40.
Participate in strength training.
"Balanced fitness, including both strength training
and aerobic exercise, can do more to ensure a
happy life than just about anything else known to
medical science today."
—Kenneth Cooper, M.D., M.P.H., founder of The
Cooper Institute For Aerobic Research, Dallas,
Texas.
A strength-training program increases your lean
muscle mass. Lean muscle mass aids in burning
body fat. With additional muscle mass and
strength, you will receive the full benefits of an
exercise program. You will also be less prone to
injuries during the aerobic phase of your workout.

WORKOUT PROGRAMS
The Health level typically lasts four to six weeks. At
this level you should be concerned with slowly improv-
ing your fitness level and endurance.
Take it slowly. Set mini-goals for yourself. You may
want to begin your fitness routine with three or four
short, 5- or 10-minute workouts in a day.
Move on to the Fitness Level only when you feel ready
and your heart rate has moved below your target heart
rate zone.
The Fitness level usually lasts 12 to 20 weeks. (It may
last longer, depending on your fitness goals.) At this
level you should strive to achieve your fitness goals.
Set realistic short- and long-term goals for yourself.
Frequently re-evaluate your fitness goals and reward
yourself as you are successful.
Move on to the Advanced Level when you have
reached your fitness goals and your heart rate has
moved below your target heart rate zone.
Work out at the Advanced level once you have
reached your desired fitness goals. It is intended to be
a maintenance program and should continue on a reg-
ular, long-term basis.
You may wish to add Interval Training to your mainte-
nance program as well. Interval training will add variety
to your workout routine and further condition your
cardiovascular system. Interval training has been
shown to promote higher levels of aerobic condition-
ing. It consists of spurts of high-intensity activity fol-
lowed by active rest periods of exercise at a lower in-
tensity. For example, a one-minute spurt of high-resis-
tance, fast exercise is followed by a two- to three-
minute active rest period of low-resistance, slow exer-
cise. The duration of these periods should be based
more on how you feel rather than time. A sequence
such as this should be repeated 5 to 20 times during
your workout session.
WORKOUT TIPS
Full-body conditioning helps take care of many of
life's aches and pains. However, it takes time for
your body to adapt to any new routine. Below are
some tips that will help ease you into your new
FREEMOTION routine.
Begin and end each exercise session with the
stretches on page 40. Stretch in a smooth,
controlled manner. Hold each stretch for 15 to
30 seconds. You may experience some initial
muscle soreness and discomfort as a result of
exercising inactive or poorly stretched
muscles. For maximum benefit, a stretching
routine must be performed every day.
Be aware of your body's signals and react to
them accordingly. At your correct exercise in-
tensity, you should be able to whistle or main-
tain a normal conversation. If during
exercise you feel tired, light-headed, dizzy, or
nauseated, stop exercising immediately and
consult your physician. Your heart rate may
also be affected by such things as stress,
caffeine, nicotine, or prescription drugs.
