Workout Programs (Continued)

CARDIO/WEIgHT LOSS/CUSTOM HR

In these heart rate control programs, the resistance level will automatically change to keep the exerciser’s pulse at the optimum rate for achieving his or her fitness goals. Target heart rates are calculated based on a standard “maximum” heart rate for the exerciser’s age. The weight loss target heart rate is calculated at 65% of the maximum heart rate: (220 – age)*65%. The cardio target heart rate is calculated at

80% of the maximum heart rate: (220 – age)*80%.Custom target heart rate is set by user.

If CUSTOM HR is selected, the target heart rate will need to be set first. The range is 84 - 199bpm with default value of 120bpm. The display will show “TARGET HR -

XXX” for setting. Press ▲/▼ key or numeric keypads 0-9 to adjust the setting. Press

ENTER key to confirm and start the program. You may press QUICK START at anytime to begin the program right away using default values.

After a heart rate control workout is activated, a heart illustration will appear on the dot matrix screen. When the actual heart rate signal is detected, the color of the heart illustration will alternate between red and green. Otherwise, it will maintain with green color. Orange color represents the 65% or 80% of max HR or target heart rate entered.

Once the exerciser begins to exercise, a red dot and a orange line will appear on the lower part of the screen. The red dot represents the recommended RPM; the orange line represents actual RPM. Try to maintain an RPM even with the red dot.

Resistance will start at level 1. The default RPM is 50. If the actual RPM is 5 revolutions below the recommended step rate for 25 seconds, “SPEED UP” will appear on the exercise feedback window.

A telemetry heart rate transmitter must be worn during heart rate control programs.

If no heart rate signal is received at the display, the message “NO HEART RATE

READING, PLEASE CHECK TRANSMITTER” will appear, and resistance will not change automatically.

The words “telemetry heart rate” refer to the detection of heart rate via a device worn on the exerciser and transmitted over the air to a circuit board built into the product. Telemetry heart rate devices are commonly worn on the exerciser’s chest, where the pulse is strongest and relatively easy to detect.

The following explains conditions that affect the performance of the telemetry heart rate function in all products.

● The telemetry heart rate transmitter emits a wireless 5 kHz signal that is harmless to the human body. Inside the transmitter is a 3 V battery (CR2032). If the battery voltage is too low, either the reception distance shortens or there will be no reception whatsoever.

● Secure the telemetry heart rate transmitter on your chest so that it stays in place without making you feel uncomfortable. Moisten the skin for better contact.

● Because the telemetry heart rate signal varies in strength from 20 Hz to 20

KHz, environmental interference can block signal reception. Physical vibration and electronic devices, including stereos, TVs, and even fluorescent lights, can interfere with signal reception. For best results, install the product in an area free from such interference.

● Space the product apart by at least 39 inches (100 cm) to avoid having the heart rate value from one exerciser appear on a neighboring product.

HEART RATE

Contact

The words “contact heart rate” refer to the detection of the heart rate via sensors on the product. By holding the sensors, the exerciser can view his or her heart rate on the product display. Like telemetry heart rate, contact heart rate can be influ enced by several factors. The following list includes some of these factors.

● A weak pulse makes it difficult to detect heart rate.

● Low systolic blood pressure makes it difficult to detect heart rate.

● Dry, course palms impede heart rate detection. For best results, moisten your palms. But do not apply hand lotion immediately prior to your workout, because hand lotion can gum up the contact pads.

Heart rate devices built into this product are not medical devices. Heart rate values are for reference only. Do not use them for medical diagnostic or treatment work.

CAUTION: Heart rate detection and transmission devices have been known to interfere with the operation of pacemakers, possibly endangering human life. If you have a pacemaker, exercise under your doctor’s supervision; take a test to ensure your safety during the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and heart rate detection devices. The use of such devices must be undertaken at your own risk.

Note that in dry areas in particular, static electricity can interfere with unit operation and shock people. To discharge static electricity from your body, touch something else before touching metal on the product.

8. gUIDELINES fOR EXERCISE

HOW HARD SHOULD I EXERCISE?

Studies show that to benefit from aerobic exercise, people need to maintain a certain heart rate during their workouts. Your heart rate training zone depends on your age and fitness level.

The darkened area in the chart to the right represents the recommended heart rate training zone for people of various ages. It was calculated by taking 220 minus age in years, multiplied by 65% and 80%. The area between those values is the heart rate training zone.

HE

CAUTION: Heart rate training zones are generalizations and may not suit every person.

Always check with your physician to understand what heart rate goal would be appropriate for you.

HOW LONg SHOULD I EXERCISE?

The duration of your workout must depend on your fitness level. In general, it is recommended that you maintain a heart rate within your training zone for at least

15 to 20 minutes to experience the benefits of aerobic exercise. Beginners should always start out slowly and gradually increase the duration and intensity of their workouts. As your fitness level improves, you will be able to maintain a heart rate within the training zone for longer periods of time.

When you begin your workout, use the first several minutes to warm up. Then slowly increase the intensity of your workout to bring your heart rate into your training zone.

At the end of your workout, gradually decrease your workload. Then exercise lightly to cool down.

HOW OfTEN SHOULD I EXERCISE?

Research indicates that to achieve the greatest benefit, people should exercise three to five times per week. It is important to allow sufficient time, at least 24 hours, for your body to recover after exercise.
