HOW TO USE THE PROFORM ®485E
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE 485E

HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE
PEDALS

To mount the 485E, firmly hold the handlebars or the
T-handle and carefully step onto the pedal that is in
the lowest position. Next, step onto the other pedal.
Push the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous motion. Note: The pedal disks can turn in
either direction; it Is recommended that you turn
the pedal disks in the direction shown below;
however, to give variety to your exercise, you may
choose to turn the pedal disks in the opposite
direction.

As you exercise,
you can adjust
Resistance Knob
the resistance of
the pedals with
the resistance
knob on the
console. To
increase the
resistance,
turn the knob
clockwise; to
decrease the
resistance, turn the knob counterclockwise.

Pedal Disk

Pedal

To dismount the 485E, allow the pedals to come to a
complete stop. CAUTION: The 485E does not have
a freewheel; the pedals will continue to move until
the flywheel stops. When the pedals are stationary,
step off the highest pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE

HOW TO OPERATE THE CONSOLE

The console is designed to help you get the most
from your workouts. As you exercise, you can watch
your progress around the LED track, while the
display provides continuousexercise feedback.
The six modes of the display are described below.

If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of
the console, remove it.
1. To turn on the power, press the on/reset button or
simply begin exemising. When the power is turned
on, one LED indicator will light in the LED track,
and the entire display will appear for two seconds.
The console will then be ready for operation,

BATI'ERY INSTALLATION
Before the console can be operated, two =AA" batteries must be installed. If you have not installed batteries, see assembly step 8 on page 8.

To tum off the power, simply wait for about four
minutes. Note: The console has an "auto-off"
feature. If the pedals are not moved and the
console buttons are not pressed for four
minutes, the power will turn off automatically
In order to conserve the batteries.

MAINTENANCE
CONSOLE TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Inspect and tighten all parts of the PREFORM ® 485E
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

If the console does not function properly, the batteries
should be replaced. To replace the batteries, refer to
assembly step 8 on page 8.

The 485E can be wiped clean with a soft cloth and
mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents.
To prevent damage to the console, keep liquids away
from the console, Use only a sealable water bottle in
the console.

STORAGE
When storing the 485E, remove the batteries from the
console. Keep the 485E in a clean, dry location, away
from moisture and dust.

CONDITIONING

GUIDELINES

The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.

WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This Is
especially Important for persons over the age
of 35 or persons with pre-exlstlng health
problems.

uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for energy. 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 the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the smallest
number in your training zone as you exercise.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise

EXERCISE INTENSITY
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, 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,
and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the largest number in your
training zone.

Whether your goal 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 buming, maximum fat
burning, and cardiovascular(aerobic) exercise.
J

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
wrist 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 rapidlywhen you stop exercising.)

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers
above your age. The three numbers are your "training
zone," The smallest number is the recommended
heart rate for fat burning;the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat buming; the largest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three
important parts:

Burning Fat

A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. (See page 13.) A proper warmup increases your body temperature, heart rate, and
circulation in preparation for exercise.

To bum fat effectively,you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body

Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30
minutes of exemising with your heart rate in your
training zone. (During the first few weeks of your
exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in
/our training zone for longer than 20 minutes.)

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 exercise, you
may plan up to five workouts each week, if desired.
Caution: Be sure to progress at your own pace
and avoid overdoing it. Incorrect or excessive
training may result in injury to your health.
Remember, t_e key to success is make exercise a
regular and qnjoyable part of your everyday life.

A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
This will increase the flexibility of your muscles
and will help to prevent post-exercise problems.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the
right. 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
2. Hamstring Stretch
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot
_ward 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 each leg. 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 flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts,
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.
4. 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 counts, then relax.
Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip
muscles.
