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.

As you exercise, you can watch your progress around the LED track, while the display provides continuous exercise 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 exercising. 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. 2. Select one of the five modes: Scan modeÑ When the power is turned on, the scan mode will automatically be selected. One Mode Indicators mode indicator will show that the scan mode is selected, and a flashing mode indicator will show which mode is currently displayed. Note: If a different mode is selected, you can select the scan mode again by repeatedly pressing the mode button. LED Track SpeedÑThis mode displays your current exercise speed, in miles per hour. Speed, time, distance, laps, or calorie modeÑ To select one of these modes for continuous display, press the mode button repeatedly. The mode indicators will show which mode is selected. (Make sure that the scan mode is not selected.) TimeÑThis mode displays the length of time you have exercised. Note: If you stop exercising, the time mode will pause until you resume. DistanceÑThis mode displays the total distance you have completed, in miles. LapsÑThis mode displays the number of 1/4-mile laps you have completed around the LED track. 3. The LED track represents a distance of 1/4 mile. As you exercise, the indicators around the track will light one at a time until you have completed 1/4 mile. A new lap will then begin. CalorieÑThis mode displays the approximate number of Calories you have burned. ScanÑThis mode displays the speed, time, distance, laps, and calorie modes, for 5 seconds each, in a repeating cycle. 4. To reset the display, press the on/reset button. 5. To turn off the power, simply wait for about four minutes. Note: The console has an Òauto-offÓ 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. BATTERY INSTALLATION Before the console can be operated, two ÒAAÓ batteries must be installed. If you have not installed batteries, see assembly step 8 on page 8. 10 MAINTENANCE Inspect and tighten all parts of the PROFORM¨ 485E regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately. CONSOLE TROUBLE-SHOOTING 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. 11 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. 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 burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the smallest number in your training zone as you exercise. 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-existing health problems. 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 Òaerobic.Ó 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 burn 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) exercise. 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 beats per minute. (A six-second count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly when 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 Òtraining zone.Ó The smallest number is the recommended heart rate for fat burning; the middle number is the heart rate for maximum fat burning; 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 burn 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 12 Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your 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, the key to success is make exercise a regular and enjoyable 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.

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.
