Each heart rate program is designed to keep your
heart rate near a preselected percentage of your
maximum heart rate while you exercise. (Your
maximum heart rate is estimated by subtracting
your age from 220. For example, if you are 30
years old, your maximum heart rate is 190.)

minutes, the power will turn off automatically.
HOW TO SET A WORKOUT GOAL
Program 7 (P-7) will keep your heart rate near
50% of your maximum heart rate while you exer-
cise; P-8 will keep your heart rate near 60% of
your maximum heart rate; P-9 will keep your
heart rate near 75% of your maximum heart rate;
P10 will keep your heart rate near 85% of your
maximum heart rate; and P11 will keep your heart
rate near 95% of your maximum heart rate.
If desired, you can set a workout goal before you begin
exercising. If you set a time, distance, or calorie goal,
the console will count down the goal as you exercise
and sound a tone when the goal is reached. If you set
a maximum or minimum heart rate goal, the console
will sound a tone to alert you if your heart rate is too
high or too low during your workout.
Follow the instructions below to set a goal. Note: Do
not set more than one type of goal at a time.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise cycle reg-
ularly. The exercise cycle can be cleaned with a soft,
damp cloth. To prevent damage to the console, keep
liquids away from the console and keep the console
out of direct sunlight.
PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
¥ Avoid moving your hands while using the pulse sen-
sor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart
rate readings.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
¥ If your heart rate is not shown when the pulse sen-
sor is used, press the resistance Ð button to reset
the pulse sensor.
If the console does not function properly, the batteries
should be replaced. To replace the batteries, refer to
assembly step 4 on page 5.
¥ Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
HOW TO LEVEL THE EXERCISE CYCLE
¥ For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the
metal contacts for about 15 seconds.
If the exercise
cycle does not sit
flat on the floor,
turn one or both
of the leveling
pads until the
exercise cycle is
level.
¥ For optimal performance of the pulse sensor, keep
the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be
cleaned with a soft clothÑnever use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
During the first few months of your exercise program,
keep your heart rate near the low end of your training
zone as you exercise. After a few months of regular
exercise, your heart rate can be increased until it is
near the middle of your training zone as you exercise.
WARNING: Before beginning this or any
exercise program, consult your physician.
This is especially important for individuals
over the age of 35 or individuals withpre-
existing health problems.
To measure your heart rate, use the built-in pulse
sensor. You can also measure your pulse by placing
two fingers on your wrist as shown. Stop exercising
and take a six-
second heartbeat
count. Multiply the
WARNING: The pulse sensor is not a med-
ical device. Various factors may affect the
accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse

result by ten to
find your heart
rate. (A six-second
count is used
because your
heart rate drops
quickly when you
stop exercising.) If your heart rate is too high,
decrease the intensity of your exercise. If your heart
rate is too low, increase the intensity of your exercise.
Exercise has proven essential for good health and
well-being. Regular participation in a well-rounded
exercise program results in a stronger and more effi-
cient heart, improved respiratory function, increased
stamina, better weight management, increased ability
to deal with stress, and greater self-esteem.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important
to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper inten-
sity level can be found by using your heart rate as a
guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate
should be maintained at a level between 70% and
85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise.
This is known as your training zone. You can find
your training zone in the table below. Training zones
are listed according to age and physical condition.
A well-rounded workout includes three important 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 prepa-
ration for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 40 min-
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise pro-
gram, do not keep your heart rate in your training
zone for longer than 20 minutes.)

will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will

EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three work-
outs 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. 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.
