CONDITIONING GUIDELINES 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. • The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as exercise aids in determining heart rate trends in general. The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results. EXERCISE INTENSITY 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. 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, find the three numbers above your age. The three numbers are your "training zone." The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise. Fat Burning 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 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 lowest 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 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 highest number in your training zone as you exercise. WORKOUT GUIDELINES Each workout should include the following three parts: A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise. 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.) 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. EXERCISE FREQUENCY To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life. 24 1. Identify the Front Stabiliser (3), which has Wheels (32) attached to it. While another person lifts the front of the Frame (1), attach the Front Stabiliser to the Frame with two M10 x 112mm Carriage Bolts (34) and two M10 Nylon Locknuts (29). Make sure that the Front Stabiliser is turned so the Wheels are not touching the floor. 2. While another person lifts the back of the Frame (1), attach the Rear Stabiliser (4) to the Frame with two M10 x 112mm Carriage Bolts (34) and two M10 Nylon Locknuts (29). 1 34 32 2 32 3 1 29 29 4 3. While another person holds the Upright (2) in the posi- 3 tion shown, connect the Upper Wire Harness (86) to the Lower Wire Harness (87). Carefully pull the upper end of the Upper Wire Harness to remove any slack. While holding the upper end of the Upper Wire Harness, insert the Upright into the Frame (1). Do not pinch the Wire Harnesses. Slide an M10 Split Washer (70) and a Frame Spacer (83) onto the M10 x 88mm Button Bolt (63), and insert the Button Bolt into the Frame (1) and the Upright (2). Make sure that the concave end of the Frame Spacer is turned toward the Frame. Do not tighten the Button Bolt yet. 29 1 2 34 Make sure the Wire Harnesses (86, 87) do not get pinched and damaged during this step. 4. Connect the wire harness on the Handgrip Pulse Sensor (81) to the indicated wire harness on the Console (5). Insert both wire harnesses into the opening in the bottom of the Console. Refer to the inset drawing. Insert the metal tube on the Handgrip Pulse Sensor (81) into the metal bracket inside the Console (5) as shown. Be careful not to pinch the wire harnesses. Align the holes in the metal tube with the holes in the metal bracket, and tighten two M4 x 16mm Screws (66) into the indicated holes. 63 70 83 86 87 1 4 5 81 66 5 Bracket Tube 66 81 Wire Harnesses 5
