Note: The Treadles may not be at the same resting level. Step onto the lower treadle with your first step once the belt is moving.
Your machine calculates how many calories you burn based on your weight settings you tell it. When your weight changes, be sure to update your profile in the Console. This will ensure an accurate calculation of the calories you burn during the workout.
Pausing or Stopping
1.Step off of the belts and onto the Side Foot Support Platforms on either side of the Treadles.
2.Push STOP to pause the workout. The belts will slow to a complete stop.
3.To restart your workout, push the ENTER button. To end your workout, press STOP again. The Console will display your results and record them if you are a registered user.
Note: If there is an emergency, pull out the Safety Key to shut off the power to the belts. This will abruptly stop them.
If there are no footfalls after 1 minute, the Console will request if you wish to continue. The belts will stop if there is no response after 30 seconds. The machine will shut down after 5 minutes unless the START button is pushed.
Be sure to lock the Treadles and remove the Safety Key for safe storage when not in operation.
Preliminary Workout
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or measured by the machine’s computer for reference purposes only.
First 4 Weeks
Follow these guidelines to ease yourself into a weekly exercise regimen. This weekly regimen can include combinations of treadmill and TreadClimber® modes.
Use your judgment and/or the advice of your physician or health care professional to find the intensity and level of your workouts.
Warming Up
Before you start any workout, you should prepare your body for increased activity by slowly raising your heart rate.
Starting Your Workout
