20DRAFT - DO NOT PRINTUSING THE SPRINT 8 PROGRAMThe Sprint 8 program is an anaerobic interval program designed to build muscle, improve speed, and naturally increase the release of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) in your body. Producing HGH through exercise and a proper diet has been shown as an effective way to burn fat and build lean muscle mass according to Phil Campbell, author of Ready, Set, Go! Synergy Fitness. Please go to Mr. Campbell’s website www.readysetgofitness.com for more details about this radical new approach to fitness.The SPRINT 8 program features intense sprint intervals followed by recovery intervals. The program includes the following phases: 1. WARM-UP should gradually increase your heart rate and increase respiration and blood flow to working muscles. The warm-up is controlled by the user to meet your specific needs. 2. INTERVAL TRAINING starts immediately after the warm-up with a 30-second Sprint interval. Seven Recovery Intervals of 90 seconds will alternate with the eight 30–second Sprint Intervals. The message display will prompt you to increase your stride rate during the Sprint Interval and decrease stride rate during the Recovery Interval. A difference of 40 to 60 Strides Per Minute between Sprint Interval and Recovery Interval is recommended. 3. COOL-DOWN helps return your body’s systems to resting levels. Less demand is placed on your heart during recovery if an appropriate cool-down is used following the exercise.Due to the fact that this is a specialized training program, total workout time is not displayed during the program. The interval time is displayed in the time window instead. It takes only 20 minutes to complete the SPRINT 8 workout.CONSOLE
21USING HEART RATE TRAININGWHAT IS HEART RATE TRAINING?Heart Rate Training means exercising at an intensity that keeps you in your ideal heart rate zone. Your personal heart rate training zone depends on your fitness goal, such as weight loss, cardiovascular endurance, or strength building. Refer to page 38 for more information on heart rate training zones. VISION FITNESS HRT® programs are set up to keep you at an ideal heart rate based on your fitness goal. These programs automatically adjust resistance based on your heart rate readings. The S7200HRT console features four programs (HRT Weight Loss, HRT Cardio, HRT Interval, and HRT Hill) that offer the benefits of Heart Rate Training. • These programs use the predicted maximum heart rate formula (220 minus age) to determine your predicted maximum heart rate. Some individuals have higher or lower maximum heart rates than determined by this formula. The programs allow you to modify your Target Heart Rate to achieve your personal goals.HAND PULSE HEART RATE SENSORSThe Contact Hand Pulse Sensors are included on each product to monitor your heart rate. To use, grasp the sensors with a comfortable grip during your workout. The console will display your heart rate. Although your signal will be displayed immediately, it may take the system a few seconds to zero in on your actual heart rate. NOTE: The Contact Hand Pulse Sensors will work for the HRT® programs, but it is recommended to use the telemetric chest strap for an uninterrupted signal and ease of use.CONSOLE
22DRAFT - DO NOT PRINTTELEMETRIC HEART RATE CHEST STRAPThe wireless Telemetric Chest Strap uses a pair of electrodes on the underside of the strap to send your heart rate signal to the console. Prior to wearing the chest strap, moisten the two rubber electrode pads with several drops of water. These electrodes must remain wet to provide an accurate signal. We advise using the chest strap against your skin, but it also functions through a thin layer of wet clothing.STRAP PLACEMENTCenter the transmitter strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum with the VISION FITNESS logo facing out. Adjust the elastic strap so it is snug but comfortable enough for proper breathing.CONSOLE
23ALL HRT PROGRAMSDuring the workout, the user will grasp the hand pulse sensors or wear the telemetric chest strap to send their heart rate signal to a receiver in the console. The console will continuously monitor the heart rate, adjusting the resistance level of the Suspension Elliptical Trainer to keep your heart rate within several beats of your Target Heart Rate. By using the SCAN key, the heart rate feedback window conveniently displays your Heart Rate, % Heart Rate, and your Target Heart Rate to keep you informed about your current heart rate. Each program will begin with a two-minute warm-up. When the workout time has been completed, the console will begin a five-minute cool-down. The user will be responsible for adjusting resistance to meet their needs during the warm-up and cool-down.ADJUSTING TARGET HEART RATEWhile exercising in one of the HRT® programs, after the two-minute warm-up, you may decide the Target Heart Rate needs to be adjusted. To adjust your Target Heart Rate, use the UP s or DOWN t arrow keys.

24DRAFT - DO NOT PRINTHRT CARDIOThe HRT CARDIO program is designed to maintain your heart rate at 80% of your predicted maximum heart rate. It is intended to improve efficiency and endurance of your cardiovascular system by working your heart, lungs and circulatory systems. This is a great workout for anyone, but beginners may want to start lower and build their way up to 80% of their predicted maximum heart rate. HRT WEIGHT LOSSThe HRT WEIGHT LOSS program is designed to maintain your heart rate at 65% of your predicted maximum heart rate. The goal of this program is to burn calories by using your body’s fat reserves as the primary fuel during exercise and to improve the efficiency of your workout by eliminating over-training or under-training. This is a great workout for beginners.HRT INTERVALThe HRT INTERVAL program is designed to increase aerobic endurance and your overall fitness level, increase endurance of muscle fibers, and increase the amount of calories burned in your exercise session. This program consists of alternating effort and recovery intervals. The Target Heart Rate for your effort interval will be 80% of your predicted maximum heart rate, while the Target Heart Rate for your recovery intervals will be 70% of your predicted maximum heart rate. The two-minute effort interval begins when you reach your Target Heart Rate for that particular interval. The recovery interval duration depends on the amount of time it takes to get to your recovery heart rate.HRT HILLThe HRT HILL program uses four different Target Heart Rates to build cardiovascular strength and endurance. The resistance will adjust until your rate reaches the Target Heart Rate for four separate hills. The hills will be set at 65%, 70%, 75%, and 80% of your predicted maximum heart rate. The program will keep you at each heart rate level for one minute from the time the Target Heart Rate is reached. The program will repeat the series of hills until the workout time is complete. CONSOLE
25USING THE USER PROGRAMSThe USER programs allow four separate programs to be set and stored for future use.Set-up for the USER program requires you to select from one of the four USER programs. You will then go through set-up mode like any other program, setting age, workout time and user weight. When you press START and begin and will run similar to a manual program. You will need to adjust both resistance and incline throughout the program. Your setting will be recorded every 30 seconds. At the end of your workout the message center will ask you to PRESS AND HOLD ENTER TO SAVE.

36DRAFT - DO NOT PRINTGENERALDEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAMBy purchasing this piece of VISION FITNESS exercise equipment, you have made a commitment to exercise and now have the convenience of exercising in your own home. Your new equipment offers the flexibility to exercise at whatever time suits you best. It will be easier to maintain a consistent exercise program that will help you achieve your fitness goals. ACHIEVING YOUR FITNESS GOALS An important step in developing a long-term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your primary goal to lose weight? Improve muscle tone? Relieve stress? Prepare for the spring racing schedule? Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise program. If possible, try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms over specific periods of time. Examples of these goals might include: • Decrease your waistline by two inches over the next two months. • Run the local 5K race this summer. • Get 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise at least five days per week. • Improve your race time by two minutes over the next year. • Move from walking a mile to jogging a mile within the next three months. The more specific the goal, the easier it will be to track your progress. If your goals are long-term, divide them into monthly and weekly segments. Long-term goals can lose some of the motivational benefits. Short-term goals are easier to achieve and will allow you to see the progress you are making. Every time you reach a goal, it is important to set a new goal. This will lead to a healthier lifestyle and will provide the motivation that you will need to move forward.TRACK YOUR PROGRESSNow that you have set your exercise goals, it is time to write them down and make an exercise schedule that will help you achieve them. By keeping a fitness diary, you will stay motivated and know where you are in terms of reaching your goals. As time goes on, you will be able to look back with pride to see how far you’ve come. For your convenience, we have included exercise log sheets in the wellness tools section of our website at www.visionfitness.com.
37GENERALEXERCISE GUIDELINESEXERCISE DURATIONA common question asked is, “how much exercise do I need?” We recommend following the guidelines set up by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) for healthy aerobic activity. • Exercise three to five days per week. • Warm up for five to 10 minutes before aerobic activity. • Maintain your exercise activity for 30 to 45 minutes. • Gradually decrease the intensity of your workout, then stretch to cool down during the last five to 10 minutes.If weight loss is a major goal, participate in your aerobic activity at least 30 minutes for five days each week.EXERCISE INTENSITYThe next question asked is, “how hard do I need to work out?” To reap the most cardiovascular benefits from your workout, it is necessary to exercise within a recommended intensity range. We recommend monitoring your exercise heart rate to measure exercise intensity.
38DRAFT - DO NOT PRINTGENERALTARGET HEART RATETarget Heart Rate is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target Heart Rate will vary for each individual depending on age, current level of conditioning, and personal fitness goals. Exercise heart rate should range from 55% to 85% of your maximum heart rate. As a point of reference, we use the predicted maximum heart rate formula of (220 minus age) to determine your heart rate training zone. Please use the following chart to determine your predicted Target Heart Rate.EXAMPLE:If you are a 30-year-old, your predicted maximum heart rate is 190 based on the (220 minus age) formula.220–30=190Based on the chart above, your heart rate training zone is 104 to 161, which is 55%–85% of 190.
39GENERALBALANCED FITNESSWhile cardiovascular exercise has been the primary method of fitness for many programs over the years, it should not be the only method. Strength Training and Flexibility Training have become more popular as exercise has developed. Incorporating Strength and Flexibility Training into your current exercise program will give you the balance you need to improve your athletic performance, reduce susceptibility to injury, increase metabolic rate, increase bone density, and reach your goals faster. STRENGTH TRAININGStrength Training was once known as an activity performed by young males only. That has changed with the advances in scientific research on Strength Training over the last 20 years or so. Research has proven that, after age 30, we begin to lose muscle mass if we do not incorporate Strength Training into our exercise program. With this decrease in muscle mass, our ability to burn calories decreases, our physical ability to do work decreases and our susceptibility to injuries increases. The good news is that, with a proper Strength Training program, we can maintain or even build muscle as we age. A proper Strength Training program will work the muscle groups of the upper and lower body. There are now many options available for Strength Training including: yoga, Pilates, selectorized machines, free weights, stability balls or medicine balls, exercise tubing and body weight exercises, just to name a few.Recommendations for a minimum Strength Training program include: FREQUENCY: Two to three days per week VOLUME: One to three sets consisting of eight to 12 repetitions.
