P8 – FITNESS LEVEL TEST:

The FITNESS LEVEL TEST is based on YMCA Protocol Standards which are provided as a tool to evaluate your fitness level.

During exercise, the muscles convert oxygen into the fuel needed for the muscles to do the required work. The harder you workout, the more oxygen the muscles need. The oxygen is delivered to the muscles by the cardiovascular or blood system. The harder you workout, the faster your heart beats to maintain the oxygen supply to the muscles. As your fitness level improves, your muscles become more efficient and therefore do not require as much oxygen as before. This means your heart does not have to beat as fast as before to do the same amount of work.

A heart rate monitoring device must be used for this test. The equipment provides a standard handgrip pulse on the moving handle bar to sense the user’s heart beat during the workout. Pulse detection can be confirmed by observing the top LED light on the

TARGET HEART RATE display as well as the PULSE display on the DATA Display 1 window. If your heart rate exceeds 95% of your maximum target rate the test will terminate. The Target Heart Rate calculation is as follows:

(220 – user age) x %

A 35 year old user needs to reach a minimum of 50% of their TARGET HEART RATE.

Which means: (220 - 35) x 50% = 93 bpm (Beats per minute)

After enter this program, The DATA Display 1 window will show the test timer “12:00” which is the standard test time. This can not be changed by the user. Press the START button to begin the test. If the test has been completed successfully, the Dot Matrix display will show the score.

P 9 – HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM

The TARGET HEART RATE CONTROL program is designed to keep the user training at their chosen heart rate level to achieve the proper workout result. A heart rate monitoring device must be used for this program. The equipment provides a standard contact handgrip on the moving handle bar to sense the user heart beat during the workout. The user must hold the contact handgrips on the moving handle bar constantly in order to monitor the user heart rate during the workout. A wireless chest belt transmitter is highly recommended for this program.

COMPUTER OPERATION

IMPORTANT: The console software will calculate the user’s SAFE MAXIMUM HEART RATE based on the formula: (220pbm-

AGE). User’s are encouraged to consult with a doctor or personal Training consultant to more accurately estimate their

SAFE MAXIMUM HEART RATE in order to workout safely.

PULSE display shows the calculated TARGET HEART RATE based on the user age setting from the above step. The TARGET

HEART RATE = 85% MAXIMUM SAFE HEART RATE. Press INTENSITY UP/DOWN button to adjust the target heart rate then press the STOP/ENTER bottom to confirm.

After adjust the TARGET HEART RATE, the TIME display shows factory default setting “32:00”. Press INTENSITY UP/DOWN button to adjust the target time and press STOP/ENTER to confirm.

Press the START button to start the 3 minute WARM UP. The purpose of warm up program is to bring the user’s heart rate to 65% of the MAXIMUM SAFE HEART RATE. Time counts down from “3.00” to “0:00”. Intensity Level Profile displays “WARM UP” 3 times.

During the WARM UP, if the actual heart rate is less than 65% of the user’s MAXIMUM SAFE HEART RATE, the intensity level will be increased by 1 level every 30 sec onds. If the actual heart rate reaches 65% MAXIMUM SAFE HEART RATE twice within the warm up, the HEART RATE CONTROL program will start after finished 3minute WARM UP.

If user’s actual hear rate fails to reach 65% of MAXIMUM SAFE HEART RATE during the warm up, the user will be placed into a 2 nd or 3 rd

(if necessary) 3 minute warm up program. If user’s actual heart rate fails to reach 65% of the MAXIMUM SAFE HEART RATE after the 3 rd

3 warm up program, the INTENSITY LEVEL PROFILE dot matrix will display “FAIL” then return to POWER ON status in

10 seconds.

Once the user successfully enters the HEART RATE CONTROL program, the computer will actively adjust the intensity level to keep the users at the TARGET HEART RATE. If the user is consistently below the TARGET HEART RATE, the INTENSITY LEVEL will increase 1 level every 30 seconds. If the user reaches and exceeds the TARGET HEART RATE, the INTENSITY LEVEL will decrease 1 level every 30 seconds. The program will continue until the time runs out. If the user’s heart rate continues to exceed the TARGET HEART RATE for 3 minutes, or the time counts down to “0:00”, the heart rate control program will stop and start the 1 minute COOL DOWN function. Time counts down from “1:00” and INTENSITY LEVEL at level 1 .

Now you have completed the personal data input. Press START to begin the workout and start pedaling. Press STOP twice to return to POWER ON status.

C1~C5 CUSTOMER COURSE

The program can allow store the settings for repeated workouts. After enter this program and press STOP/ENTER button, the user comes into the INTENSITY LEVEL, and TIME setting mode. In the display the first minute is flashing, use the INTENSITY

UP/DOWN button to adjust the INTENSITY LEVEL. Then press the STOP/ENTER button to reserve the setting and continue to next minute setting of the program, etc. The maximum workout time of each user program is 60 minutes. After setting up above item, press the START button to confirm, and then press START button to activate status.

USING THE CHEST BELT HEART RATE MONITOR:

For proper operation, the chest belt should be worn with the monitor strapped across the front of your body just above the chest line as shown in the drawing on the right. The monitor needs a little body heat and moisture in order to work properly. To ensure correct operation you may want to wet the two rubber pickups under the belt prior to exercising.

IMPORTANT STEPS

Warning:

Before using this product, please consult your personal physician for a complete physical examination. Frequent and strenuous exercise should be approved by your doctor first. If any discomfort should result from your use of this product, stop exercising and consult your doctor. Proper usage of this product is essential. Please read your manual carefully before exercising.

Please keep all children away from the equipment during use and when equipment is unattended.

Always wear appropriate clothing, including athletic shoes, when exercising. Do not wear loose clothing that could become caught during exercising.

Make sure that all bolts and nuts are tightened when equipment is in use. Periodic maintenance is required on all exercise equipment to keep it in good condition.

Before beginning:

How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for several years, or are severely overweight, you must start slowly and increase your time gradually, a few minutes per week.

Initially you may be able to exercise only for a few minutes in your target zone. However, your aerobic fitness will improve over the next six to eight weeks. Don’t be discouraged if it takes longer. It’s important to work at your own pace. Ultimately, you’ll be able to exercise continuously for 30 minutes. And the better your aerobic fitness, the harder you will have to work to stay in your target zone. But remember these essentials:

•

Contact your physician before starting a workout or training program. Have your doctor review your training and diet programs to advise you of a workout routine you should adopt.

•

Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your doctor.

•

Supplement your program with some type of aerobic exercise such as walking, jogging, swimming, dancing and/or bicycling. Monitor your pulse frequently. If you do not have an electronic heart rate monitor, have your physician show you the proper way to manually check your pulse by using your wrist or neck. Establish your target heart rate based on your age and condition.

•

Drink plenty of fluids during the course of your routine. You must replace the water content lost from excessive exercising to avoid dehydration. Avoid drinking large amounts of cold liquids. Fluids should be at room temperature when consumed.
