To avoid muscular pain and strain, begin and end each workout by stretching.

ABOUT THE EXERCISE ENVIRONMENT

Make sure the exercise environment has adequate ventilation. To avoid catching cold, do not exercise in a draughty place.

Place the treadmill on a firm, level surface. Allow 100x200 cm of clearance behind the treadmill and 100 cm on either side and in front of the treadmill.

We recommend that the equipment is placed on a protective base.

ABOUT USING THE EQUIPMENT

Always unplug the treadmill from the electrical outlet after each training session.

Only one person may use the equipment at a time.

Keep hands clear of any moving parts. Never place hands, feet or any other objects under the treadmill.

Wear appropriate clothing and shoes when exercising. Make sure your shoelaces are properly tied. To avoid injury and unnecessary wear on your treadmill, be sure your shoes are free of any debris such as gravel and small pebbles.

BEGINNING AN EXERCISE SESSION

To avoid muscular pain and strain, begin and end each workout by stretching.

Stand on the landing rails to the left and right of the running belt. Do not stand on the running belt.

Always hold the handrail for support when getting on or off the treadmill and when changing the speed during exercise. Do not jump off the running belt while it is moving!

If you experience nausea, dizziness or other abnormal symptoms while exercising, stop your workout at once and consult a physician.

FINISHING AN EXERCISE SESSION

Never leave the safety tether key in the treadmill.

Use the main power switch to turn the unit off.

Unplug the electrical cord from the wall outlet and from the treadmill.

If necessary clean the treadmill from sweat with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents.

Store the electrical cord where it is clear from all pathways and out of childrens' reach.

HOW TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF TO

In order to reach the goals you have set, you'll need to keep finding the motivation to continue so you

O W N E R ' S M A N U A L • T 5 0

achieve your ultimate goal: life-long health and a new quality of living.

Set yourself realistic targets.

Progress step-by-step according to your schedule.

Keep a fitness diary and write down your progress.

Change your way of exercising from time to time.

Use your imagination.

Learn self-discipline.

One important aspect of your training is versatility. Varying your training exercises different muscle groups and helps maintain motivation.

HEART RATE

This equipment has a built-in pulse receiver, which is compatible with a telemetric pulse transmitter.

No matter what your goal, you'll get the best results by training at the right level of effort, and the best measure is your own heart rate. First find your maximum heart rate i.e. where the rate doesn't increase with added effort. If you don’t know your maximum heart rate, please use the following formula:

220 - AGE

This is an average value and the maximum varies from person to person. The maximum heart-rate diminishes on average by one point per year. If you belong to a risk group, ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart rate for you. We have defined three different heart-rate zones to help you with targeted training.

BEGINNER: 50-60 % of maximum heart-rate Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents and those who haven't exercised for a long time. Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour each is recommended. Regular exercise considerably improves beginners' respiratory and circulatory performance and you will quickly feel your improvement.

TRAINER: 60-70 % of maximum heart-rate Perfect for improving and maintaining fitness. Even reasonable effort develops the heart and lungs effectively, training for a minimum of 30 minutes at least three times a week. To improve your condition still further, increase either frequency or effort, but not both at the same time!

ACTIVE TRAINER: 70-80 % of maximum heart- rate

Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and presupposes long-endurance workouts.
