have completed, up to 999 or 9,999. The display will

then reset to zero and continue counting.

Cabries--Oisplays the approximate number of

Calories you have burned. Note: If the resistance is on

the highest or lowest setting, the actual number of

Calories you have burned will be slightly higher or

lower than the number displayed.

Scan--Displays the speed, time, distance and calories

modes, for about 5 seconds each, in a repeating cycle.

HOW TO OPERATE THE M@NITOR

Scan mode--When the power is turned on, the

scan mode wilt be selected automatically. One

mode indicator will show that the scan mode has

been selected, and a second mode indicalor will show

which mode is currently displayed. The scan mode

can also be selected by pressing the mode button.

Speed, time, distance or calories mode--These

modes can be selected by repeatedly pressing the

mode button. The mode indicators will show which

mode has been selected. (Make sure that the scan

mode is not selected.) The modes will be selected

To exercise your abdominal muscles, keep your arms

straight and bend back at the waist as you exercise.

Remember to keep your back straight.

RESISTANCE ADJUSTMENT

To vary the intensity of your exercise, the resistance of

the CARDtO FORCE can be changed. There are 9

resistance levels: _evel 1 is the easiest, and level 9 is

the most difficult. To change the resistance, turn the

resistance adjustment collar on the Resistance

Cylinder (9). The arrow on _he Resistance Cylinder will

show which resistance level you have selected.

CAUTfON: The Resistance CyJinder becomes very

ADJUSTING THE MAGNET AND REED SWITCH

If the monitor does not function properly, the Magnet (18) and

Reed Switch (15) should be checked. Pivot the Pedal Frame

(7) until the Magnet is aligned with the Reed Switch. Loosen

the #8 x 3/4" Screw (27) and adjust the position of the Reed

Switch so that there is a 1/8" gap between the Magnet and

the Reed Switch. Retighten the Screw.

LUBRICATING THE CARDIO FORCE

The CARDIO FORCE should be oiled every six months in

the locations shown at the right. Apply a few drops of light

multi-purpose oil between each of the indicated dome caps

and the frame. Be sure to apply oil to each side of the CAR-

DIO FORCE.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

The following guidelines wilt help you to plan your

exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and

adequate rest are essential for successful resuits.

WARNING: Before beginning this or any exer-

cise program, consult your physician. This is

especially important for persons over the age

of 35 or persons with pre-existing health

problems.

EXERCISE iNTENSITY

To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important

to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper inten-

sity level can be found by using your heart rate as a

guide. For effective aerobic 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. You can find your

training zone in the table below. Training zones are

listed for both unconditioned and conditioned persons

according to age.

During the first few months of your exercise program,

keep your head rate near the low end of your training

zone as you exercise. After a few months, your heart

rate carl be increased graduatJy until it is near the mid-

dle of your training zone as you exercise.

To measure

your heart

rate, stop

exercising and

place two fin-

gers on your

wrist. Take a

six-second "j

heartbeat

count, and

multiply the

result by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if

your six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate

is 140 beats per minute. (A six-second count is used

because your heart rate wilt drop rapidly when you

stop exercising.) Adjust the intensity of your exercise

until your heart rate is at the proper level.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

A well-rounded workout should include the following

three phases:

A warm-up phase, lasting 5 to 10 minutes. Begin with

slow, controlled stretches, and progress to more rhyth-

mic stretches to increase the body temperature, heart

rate and circulation in preparation for strenuous exer-

cise. Stretching also guards against muscle, tendon

and ligament sprains.

A cardiovascular phase, including 20-30 minutes of

exercising with your heart rate in your training zone.

A cool-down phase, consisting of 5-10 minutes of

stretching. Thorough stretching offsets muscle con-

tractions and other problems caused when you stop

exercising suddenly. Stretching for increased flexibility

is often most effective during this phase. This phase

should leave you relaxed and comfortably tired.

After a few months of regular exercise, you may com-

plete up to five workouts each week, if desired.

Remember, the key to success is make exercise a

regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
