Replace any worn parts immediately.   HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING   • Avoid moving your hands while using the handgrip   pulse sensor. Excessive movement may interfere   with heart rate readings.   To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and   a small amount of mild soap. Important: To avoid   damage to the console, keep liquids away from   the console and keep the console out of direct   sunlight.   • Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so   may interfere with heart rate readings.   BATTERY REPLACEMENT   • For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the   metal contacts for about 30 seconds.   If the console display becomes dim, the batteries   should be replaced; most console problems are the   result of low batteries. See assembly step 5 on page   7 for replacement instructions.   • For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse sen-   sor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts   can be cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alco-   hol, abrasives, or chemicals.   15   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

Only after the first few minutes of exercise does   your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.   If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your   exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num-   ber in your training zone as you exercise.   Before beginning this or any exercise pro-   gram, consult your physician. This is espe-   cially important for persons over the age of 35   or persons with pre-existing health problems.   The pulse sensor is not a medical device.   Various factors may affect the accuracy of   heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is   intended only as an exercise aid in determin-   ing heart rate trends in general.   For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your   exercise until your heart rate is near the middle num-   ber in your training zone as you exercise.   Aerobic Exercise   If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-   tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exer-   cise 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 intensity of your exercise until   your heart rate is near the highest number in your   training zone as you exercise.   The following guidelines will help you to plan your   exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition   and adequate rest are essential for successful results.   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, maximum fat   burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.   WORKOUT GUIDELINES   Each workout should include the following three parts:   A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching   and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your   body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-   ration for exercise.   Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-   utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training   zone. Note: During the first few weeks of your exer-   cise program, do not keep your heart rate in your   training zone for longer than 20 minutes.   To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age   at 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 are your “training zone.”   The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates   for fat burning; the highest number is the recommend-   ed heart rate for aerobic exercise.   A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This   will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will   help to prevent post-exercise problems.   EXERCISE FREQUENCY   To maintain or improve your condition, complete three   workouts each week, with at least one day of rest   between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-   cise, you may complete 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.   Fat Burning   To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-   ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.   16   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.
