Using the Precor 903 Manual Treadmill

In addition to providing an excellent cardiovascular workout, one of the advantages of the 903 Manual Treadmill is that it is simple to use. With very little time or practice, you can learn how to use it effectively. This section provides information about the following areas:

•beginning and ending your workout

•working out on the treadmill

•adjusting the resistance level

Beginning Your Workout

Prior to beginning a workout, make sure that you have completed the following:

•assembled your 903 treadmill—Assembly Instructions

•adjusted the elevation tube settings—Adjusting the Elevation Tube

•checked the running belt alignment—Aligning the Running Belt

•stretched your lower body and back—Working Out on Your 903 Treadmill

If a procedure has not been fully completed, refer to that section and complete the tasks involved before beginning your workout.

To begin a workout, hold onto the handrail as you step onto the running belt. Slowly, turn the micro-adjustment knob to adjust the resistance of the running belt. You should adjust the resistance so that you can walk comfortably, but maintain momentum without holding onto the handrail. For more information about working out, refer to Working Out on Your 903 Treadmill and Adjusting the Resistance Level.

Ending Your Workout

To end your workout, hold onto the handrail as you gradually reduce the speed of the running belt till it comes to a complete stop. Step off the running belt onto the floor. If you wish to store the treadmill, refer to the instructions found in Storing the Treadmill.

Remember to incorporate a cool-down period into your workout. A cool-down period helps you to gradually lower your heart rate and lessen excessive muscle soreness or stiffness.

Working Out on the 903 Treadmill

Before using your treadmill, we recommend that you follow these instructions and go through a preliminary demonstration of the treadmill. Then, you will be more familiar with the treadmill when you begin your workout.

When using the treadmill, follow these general guidelines:

•At the beginning of a workout, take several minutes to bring your heart rate into your training zone, as shown in Diagram 8 later in this manual.

•After your workout, walk slowly for several minutes to cool down your body and lower your pulse rate.

•Gently stretch your lower body and back before and after a workout to help prevent stiffness or soreness.
