CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physi- cian. This is especially important for individu- als over the age of 35 or individuals with pre- existing health problems.
The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user???s move-
ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the speed and incline of the tread- mill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone.
WARNING: Do not plug in the power cord until the treadmill is completely assembled.
1.Slide the treadmill out of the box. Insert the three Cage Nuts (96) into the three indicated holes in the treadmill.
To insert each Cage Nut (96), first hook one side of the Cage Nut into the hole and then use a
2.With the help of a second person, carefully raise both Uprights (99) to a vertical position. Press the Latch Knob Sleeve (111) into the left Upright and hold the Latch Knob Spacer (112) against the left Upright.
Remove the Latch Knob (113) from the Latch Pin (107). Make sure that the Latch Pin Collar (109) and the Latch Pin Spring (110) are on the Latch Pin. (Note: If there are two Latch Pin Collars, place one on each side of the Spring.) Insert the Latch Pin into the Latch Knob Sleeve (111) and the Left Upright (99).

ment, 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 ex- ercise program. For more detailed exercise informa- tion, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.
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 recom- mended heart rates for fat burning and 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 define your ???train- ing zone.??? The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the pulse sensor on the console.
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 en-
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys- tem, 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 speed and incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A
Training Zone
A
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest be- tween workouts. After a few months, you may com- plete 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.
