OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with

PERFORMANT LUBE TM, a high-performance lubricant.

IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other

substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-

form. They will deteriorate the walking belt and

cause excessive wear.

HOWTO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord

haying an equipment-grounding conductor and a

grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a surge

protector, and plug th.esurge protector into an ep-

propdate outlet that is properly Installed and

grounded In accordance with all local codes and

ordinances.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,

and has agrounding plugthat looks like the plug Hlus-

trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that

looks h'kethe adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be

used to connect the surge protector to a 2-pore recep-

tacle as shown in drawing 2 if a propedy grounded out-

let is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a

properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed

by aqualified electrician.

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated

electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by

sudden voltage changes in your home's power. . _,

Voltage surges, spikes, and noise Intederance can re.

suit from weather conditions or from other appliances

being turned on or off.

To decrease the pos-

sibility of your tread- 1

mill being damaged,

always use a surge

protector (not in-

cluded) with your

treadmill.

Surge protectors are

sold at most hardware

stores and depadment

stores. Use only a UL-

listed surge protector,

rated at 15 amps, with a

14-gauge cord of five

feet or less in length.

The green-colored dgid ear, lug, or the like extending

from the adapter must be connected to a permanent

ground such as a propedy grounded outlet box cover.

Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place

by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box

covers ere not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-

trician to determine if the outlet box cover is

grounded before using an adapter.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-

ercise program. Remember--these are general guide-

lines. FOr more detailed information about exercise,

obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether you want to bum fat, strengthen your can:l]o-

vascular system, or increase your athletic perfor-

mance, you can tailor your exercise to your specific

goals. The key to achieving the desired results Is to ex-

ercise with the proper intens_y.

Fat Burning

To bum fat effectivaly, you must exerdse at a relatively

low intensity level for a sustained period of time.

Dudng the firstfew minutes of exercise, your body

uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for en-

ergy. 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 speed control on

the console to FAT BURN. (See page 8.)

Aerobic Exercise

If your goal isto strengthen your cardiovascular sys-

tem, your exercise must be =aerobic." Aerobic exercise

is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for

prolonged pedods of time. This increases the demand

on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the

lungs to oxygenate the blood. The proper intensity

level for aerobic exercise can be foudd by using your

pulse as a guide:As you exercise, your pulse should

be kept at alevel between 70% and 85% of your maxi-

mum possible heart rate. This is known as your train-

ing zone. You can find your training zone in the table

at the top of this page. Training zones are listed ac-

cording to age and physical _ondRion.

Dudng the first few months of your exercise program,

keep your pulse near the low end of your training zone

as you exercise. After a few months of regular exer-

cise, your pulse can be gradually increased until it is

near the middle of your training zone as you exercise.

You can measure your pulse using the pulse sensor.

Exercise for about four minutes, and then measure

your pulse immediately. If your pulse is too high or too

low, adjust the intensity of your exercise. It may also

be helpful to set the speed control on the console to

AEROBIC to help you maintain the proper intensity

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include three pads: (1) a warm-

up, (2) training zone exercise, and (3) a cool-down.

Warm-up

Warming up prepares the body for exercise by increas-

ing drculation, dalivedng more oxygen to the muscles

and raising the body temperature. Begin each workout

with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise to

warm up (see SUGGESTED STRETCHES on page 15).

TrainingZoneExercise

Afterwarmingup,Increasetheintensityofyourexer-

cise until your pulse is in your trainingzone for 20 to

60 minutes. (Dudng the first few weeks of your exer-

cise program, do not keep your pulse in your training

zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly

and deeply as you exerolse--never hold your breath.

Cool-down

Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching

to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your

muscles and _11 help to prevent post-exercise problems.

Exercise Frequency

To maintain or improve your condition, complete thr_-

workouts each week, with at least one day of rest be-

tween workouts. After afew months, you may com-

plete up to five workouts each week if desired.
