Getting Started

Select Your Workout Level

CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE STARTING ANY EXERCISE PROGRAM. Only your physician can determine the exercise program that is appropriate for your particular age and condition. If you have not been exercising, are pregnant, have a heart condition, or any physical limitation, failure to consult your physician before engaging in physical exercise, such as using the Bowflex® TreadClimber® fitness machine, could result in serious injury or death. If while using

the Bowflex® TreadClimber® fitness machine you have any pain or tightness in your chest, an irregular heart beat, shortness of breath, feel faint, light-headed or dizzy, have any pain or discomfort, STOP and consult your physician immediately.

• The average speed of the belts during your workout.

• How deep you want to step.

To increase your overall calorie burn, raise your belt speed or raise your Workout Level Setting one or two levels above your suggested level. Raising your Workout Level allows you to take deeper steps, helping your abdominal, gluteus, quadriceps and lower back muscles to work harder, burning more calories, particularly at higher belt speeds.

The following suggested Workout Level Guide is based on average fitness levels and a belt speed of 2 MPH (3.2 KPH) or slower. You should always assess whether that setting is right for you based on your individual needs and fitness level

and adjust your Workout Level Settings

accordingly.

As your endurance levels increase, you may find that your Workout Level has risen, however, you need to always select a low enough setting that you don’t “Bottom out”.
