out locking your knees.
ADDING AND REMOVING WEIGHT FROM THE
WEIGHT TUBE
The UFESTYLEFP

with a weight tube,
to intensify your
workout according
to your personal fit-
ness level. To
increase your
workout intensity,
weights can be
added to the
weight tube. To
add weights,
J
_Weight
remove the weight collars from the weight tube. Slide
the desired amount of weight onto the tube. Secure
the weights withthe weight collars. Note: An equal
amount of weight should be on each side of the
weight tube. Also, the total combined weight of
the user and added weights should not exceed
300 pounds.
PROPER EXERCISE FORM
Leaming how to properly use the LIFESTYLEFP is
vital to the success of your exercise program. On the
following pages are photographs of the many posi-
tions which you can use to get the maximum benefit
from the LIFESTYLEPP.
In addition, we offer the following tips to help you get
the most from your exercise routine:
•Always start each exercise session in the stan-
dard workout position to warm up.
8

•You should be able to feel yourself pivot or bend
from the hip, not from the back. Don't round your
back as the bar moves forward.
•Alwaysplacethe ball of eachfoot inthe centerof
each pedal.
•Always bring the handlebar as close to your stom-
ach or db cage as possible. If you are new to
exemise, don't extend the bar too far forward for
the first few weeks of your exercise program. As
your back becomes stronger and more flexible,
allow the handlebar to travel farther forward for
increased range-of-motion.
•Change grip positions and toe positions often to
add a variety and balance to each workout.
•Thumbs can be placed next to the first finger or
wrapped around the handlebar. Use these thumb
positions interchangeably dudng each workout
session for greater forearm endurance.
BKII STANDARD WORKOUT POSITION
We strongly recommend that you begin every exercise session in this posi-
tion. As a warm-up, it provides a balanced workout, distributing the empha-
sis between upper and lower body. Vary emphasis by pulling more with the
arms or pushing more with the legs. Keep your back vertical and updght at
all times. You should also vary your hand gdp to target certain muscle
groups. For example, a wide overhand gdp will target your shoulders; a
close overhand gdp (shown) will target your tdceps; and a close underhand
gdp wil! target your biceps,
Musoles affected: All Major Muscle Groups
WWRIST ROLL
As your strength increases, you'll want to challenge yourself by toning your
forearms even more. Use the wdst rollwith either the close or wide over-
hand gdp. As you pull the handlebar toward your stomach, roll your knuck-
les forward in a smooth motion.
Muscles affected: Forearm Flexors
CENTER POST GRIP
Grip the center post high with one hand above the other. Perform ten repe-
titions. Change your hand positions and perform the same number of repe-
titions. For greater emphasis try one hand at a time.
Muscles affected: Biceps and Chest
9

B--TOES STRAIGHT
Place the ball of each foot in the middle of each pedal. Push with your toes
pointed forward, then pull your feet back with toes up and heels down. This
tones the lower legs. Start with just afew minutes per session and gradual-
ly increase with each workout.
Muscles affected: Shins and Calves
1,1 TOES TURNED
The direction which your toes are turned will vary the effect of your work-
out. If your toes are turned alightly in while pointing and flexing, this
emphasizes the outer calves. If your toes are tumed slightly out while
pointing and flexing, this emphasizes the inner calves. You can also turn
you toes out and open your knees to tone your Inner thighs. Regardless of
which toe position you choose, always keep your kneeca _in line with your
toes.
Muscles affected: Calves and Thighs
UPPER BODY EMPHASIS
Place your feet on the upper pedals and choose any gdp.
Muscles affected: Arms, Upper Back, and Chest
Gdp the center post low and place your feet on the lower pedals. For more
emphasis on the stomach, tighten your abs and pull them in.
Muscles affected: Abdomen, Legs, and Lower Back

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the UFESTYLEFP by HEALTHRIDEPP regularly. Keep the console out of direct sun-
light or the display may be damaged. The LIFESTYLEI_ can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use sol-
vents. Keep liquid away from the console. When storing the LIFESTYLER", remove the battery from the console.
HOW TO REPLACE THE BATrERIES
If the display of the console becomes dim, the AAA bat-
tery should be replaced. Remove the battery cover from
the console, Remove the old battery. Insert a new bat-
tery into the console. Identify the negative (-) and posi-
tive (+) ends of the battery. The spring in the battery
compartment should touch the negative end of the bat-
tery,
Re-attach the battery cover to the console.
HOW TO LUBRICATE THE LIFES'WLEFP
Every three months, a small amount of light multi-pur-
pose oil should be applied to the LIFESTYLEFP. Apply a
few drops of oil between the axle caps or acorn nuts and
the frame in the locations shown at the dght. Make sure
to apply oil to both sides of the LIFESTYLEFff.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following general guidelines will help you to plan
your exercise program. Remember that propar nutri-
tion and pdequate rest are essential for successful
results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your gdal is to bum fat or to 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.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning, maximum fat burning, and cardiovascular
(aerobic) exemise.
BPM HEART RATE TRAINING ZONES
i i
iPJ2si i
mmni i i inn
Age 20 30 40 50 60 70 80
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to "
the nearest ten years). Next, look above your age and
find the three numbers in light grey boxes. The three
numbers are your "training zone." The lowest number
is the recommended heart rate for fat buming;the
middle number is the recommended heart rate for
maximum fat burning; the highest number is the rec-
ommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Fat Burning
To bum fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-
ly low intensity level for a sustained pedod of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If
your goal is to bum fat, adjust your pace until your
heart rate is near the lowest number in your training
zone as you exercise.
Maximum Fat Burning
For increased fat burning, adjust your pace until your
heart rate is near the middle number in your training
zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, 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, end on the
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,
adjust your pace until your heart rate is near the high-
est number in your training zone.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure
your heart rate,
first exercise
for at least four
minutes, Then,
stop exercising
and place two
fingers on your
wdst as
shown. Take a
six-second
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 boats per minute. (A six-second
count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly
when you stop exercising.)
Adjust your pace until your heart rate is at the desired
level
WORKOUT GUIDEUNES
Each workout should include the following three pads:
, -.
A warm-up, lasting 5 to 10 minutes. Begin with slow,
controlled stretches, and progress to more rhythmic
stretches to increase the body temperature, heart rate,
and circulation in preparation for strenuous exercise.
(Refer.to SUGGESTED STRETCHES on page 13.)
12

Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. (See the chart on page 12 to find your training
zone.)
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
Thorough stretching offsets muscle contractions and
other problems caused when you stop exercising sud-
denly. Stretching for increased flexibility is also most
,effective after exercising. A proper cool-down should
leave you relaxed and comfortably tired.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-
cise, you may complete up to fwa workouts each
week, if desired. The key to success is make exercise
a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
SUGGESTED ST.RETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches Is shown at the
dght. Move slowly as you stretch--never bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward
from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you
reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings,
back of knees and back.
2. 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
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for both legs. Stretches:
Hamstrings, lower back and groin.
3. 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 fiat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean for-
ward and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts,
then relax. Repeat 3 times for both legs. To cause further
stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well.
Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.
4. Quadrlceps 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 counts, then relax.
Repeat 3 times for both legs. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip
muscles.
5. Inner Thigh Stretch
Sit with the soles of your feet together and your Knees out-
ward. Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible.
