use, it may remain activated longer than necessary,  
draining the battery prematurely.  
The heart rate monitor consists of two components:  
the chest strap and the sensor unit (see the drawing  
below). Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap  
through the hole in one end of the sensor unit. Press  
the end of the sensor unit under the buckle on the chest  
strap. The tab should be almost flush with the front of  
the sensor unit.  
• Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place.  
Do not store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag  
or other container that may trap moisture.  
• Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct  
sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose  
it to temperatures above 122° Fahrenheit (50°  
Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit (-10° Celsius).  
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit  
when using or storing the heart rate monitor.

• Make sure that the heart rate monitor is under your  
clothing, tight against your skin, and as high under  
the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable.  
The logo on the sensor unit must be facing forward  
and be right-side-up. Note: If the heart rate monitor  
does not function when positioned as described, try  
moving it slightly lower or higher on your chest.  
• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens  
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the  
sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until  
you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.  
necessary. The  
heart rate moni-  
tor should be under your clothing, tight against your  
skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or  
breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the logo on  
the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-side-up.  
• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-  
self near the center of the walking belt. For the  
console to display heart rate readings, the user  
must be within arm’s length of the console.  
Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches  
and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side.  
The electrode areas are the areas covered by shallow  
ridges. Using saline solution such as saliva or contact  
lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the  
sensor unit to a position against your chest.  
• The heart rate monitor is designed to work with  
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate  
reading problems may be caused by medical  
conditions such as premature ventricular contrac-  
tions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.  
HEART RATE MONITOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
• The operation of the heart rate monitor can be  
affected by magnetic interference caused by high  
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that  
this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.  
• Thoroughly dry the heart rate monitor after each  
use. The heart rate monitor is activated when the  
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate  
monitor is put on; the heart rate monitor shuts off  
when it is removed and the electrode areas are  
dried. If the heart rate monitor is not dried after each

TREADMILL OPERATION  
THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT  
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,  
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-  
trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that  
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be  
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole  
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly  
grounded outlet is not available.  
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with  
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.  
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other  
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-  
form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking  
belt and cause excessive wear.

DANGER:  
Improper connection  
of the equipment-grounding conductor can  
result in an increased risk of electric shock.  
Check with a qualified electrician or service-  
man if you are in doubt as to whether the  
product is properly grounded. Do not modify  
the plug provided with the product—if it will  
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet

Grounded Outlet Box  
Adapter  
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated  
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by  
sudden voltage changes in your home’s power.  
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can  
result from weather conditions or from other appliances  
being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of  
your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge  
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at  
the right).  
Surge Suppressor  
Lug  
Metal Screw  
Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is UL  
1449 listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor  
(TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a UL sup-  
pressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less and a mini-  
mum surge dissipation of 450 joules. The surge sup-  
pressor must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and  
15 amps.  
The temporary adapter should be used only until a  
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed  
by a qualified electrician.  
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending  
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent  
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.  
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place  
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box  
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-  
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is  
grounded before using an adapter.  
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-  
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least  
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-  
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having  
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding  
plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,  
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate  
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in  
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.  
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with  
GFCI-equipped outlets.

tings move to the left, if all of the indicators in the  
CURRENT PERIOD column are lit, the speed set-  
tings may move downward so that only the highest  
indicators in the columns will appear in the LED  
matrix. When the speed settings move to the left  
again and not all of the indicators in the CURRENT  
PERIOD column are lit, the speed settings will

umn. If any of the columns to the right of the  
CURRENT PERIOD column have the same num-  
ber of lit indicators as the CURRENT PERIOD col-  
umn, an additional indicator may light or darken in  
those columns as well. Note: If you manually ad-  
just the speed setting so that all of the indicators in  
the CURRENT PERIOD column are lit, the speed  
settings in the LED matrix will not move downward

THE INFORMATION MODE/DEMO MODE  
THE OPTIONAL IFIT.COM MODULE  
The console features an information mode that keeps  
track of the total number of hours that the treadmill has  
been operated and the total number of miles that the  
walking belt has moved. The information mode also  
allows you to switch the console from miles per hour to  
kilometers per hour. In addition, the information mode  
allows you to turn on and turn off the demo mode.  
By adding the optional  
iFIT.com module to the  
treadmill, you can use vir-  
tually endless features

REEBOK UNIVERSITY  
Reebok University was launched in 1993 to fulfill a  
vision to establish a “university without walls” that  
develops quality, researched, state-of-the-art fitness  
programming for the fitness industry throughout the  
world.  
WALKING AND REDUCED RISK FOR CARDIOVAS-  
CULAR DISEASE  
Several studies have found that regular walking at any  
speed can increase HDL-C cholesterol (a high-density  
lipoprotein which removes excess cholesterol from the  
body) and can lower concentrations of blood triglyc-  
erides (a storage form of fat), thus reducing the risk for  
Working with the world’s best professionals, Reebok  
University has created a host of original programs,  
such as Step Reebok®, Walk ReebokSM, Slide ReebokSM cardiovascular disease.  
and Reebok City JamSM. The industry has adopted  
Reebok programming as the “gold” standard. Our  
guidelines and terminology are used by fitness profes-  
sionals and participants around the world, and our  
exceptional programming has been approved in the  
United States by AFAA and ACE for continuing educa-  
tion credits.  
Duncan and his colleagues3 concluded that exercise  
does not have to be vigorous to reduce cardiovascular  
risk factors. In other words, people who choose to  
stroll rather than walk briskly can reduce their risk for  
cardiovascular disease.  
After studying the physical activity patterns of 17,000  
Harvard alumni over a 20-year period, Paffenbarger  
and his colleagues4 concluded that walking as little as  
five city blocks per day can reduce the risk of cardio-  
vascular disease, and walking 2 miles per day can  
reduce the risk of a heart attack by 28% or more.  
Therefore, while walking at a fast pace will improve  
aerobic fitness, walking at any speed (slow or fast) can  
reduce a person's risk for heart disease.  
WALKING AND CARDIORESPIRATORY  
ENDURANCE  
Scientific studies confirm that  
walking at a moderate to brisk  
pace can enhance aerobic  
fitness. Rippe and his col-  
leagues1 found that of  
500 subjects tested,  
67% of the men and  
90% of the women were  
able to reach their target  
heart rates by  
walking 4 to 4.5 miles  
per hour.  
WALKING AND WEIGHT REDUCTION  
Walking is an excellent activity for burning calories.  
The steeper the incline and/or the faster the speed, the  
more calories are burned. For example, a 150-pound  
person walking at 3.5 miles per hour on flat ground will  
burn about 300 calories per hour. This same person  
will burn 400 calories per hour on a gentle 4% incline  
and 500 calories per hour on a steeper 10% incline. If  
this person speeds the pace up to 4 miles per hour on  
level ground, 350 calories will be burned in one hour.5  
Pollock and his colleagues2 found that middle-aged  
men who walked at a pace of 3.5 to 4.5 miles per hour  
for 40 minutes four times per week had the same car-  
diovascular improvements as men the same age who  
jogged for 30 minutes three times per week. Although  
the intensity of exercise was lower for the walkers than  
the runners, the increased duration and frequency of  
walking provided the walkers with similar aerobic ben-  
efits as the runners.  
It should be noted that participants who do not wish to  
walk at faster speeds can burn a comparable number  
of calories by walking for longer periods of time.  
WALKING AND BONE DENSITY  
Osteoporosis is a major health problem in the United  
States, affecting an estimated 15 to 30 million people.  
An age-related disorder, osteoporosis reduces the  
density of bones. This disease can be life-threatening  
since many older people die as a result of complica-  
tions suffered from broken bones. Adequate calcium in  
the diet and weight-bearing exercises seem to reduce  
the risk of osteoporosis.  
On the basis of current research, it seems clear that  
walking at a moderate to brisk pace can be an excel-  
lent aerobic activity.

Several studies have reported that regular walking at  
moderate to brisk speeds appears to increase bone  
density. Specifically, Fradin and his colleagues6 found  
that 70-year-old subjects who walked at least 30 min-  
utes per day had higher bone mineral content than  
subjects who walked less than 30 minutes per day.  
Jones and his colleagues7 reported that sedentary  
women (aged 30 to 61 years old) who began a regular  
walking program and continued for one year increased  
their bone density.  
During a 24-week study, not one of 59 participants  
who walked five days a week at speeds between 3 and  
5 miles per hour sustained a walking-related injury that  
necessitated consulting with a physician. Carroll and  
his colleagues10 reported that 14% of the elderly sub-  
jects participating in a walking study suffered training-  
related orthopedic injuries, mostly to the lower leg and  
foot. The majority of injuries occurred in the group as-  
signed to "fast walking."  
It is important to note that all forms of exercise have  
some degree of risk associated with the activity.  
Generally, the less mechanical stress on the muscu-  
loskeletal system, the less risk of becoming injured.  
Because of the low-impact nature of walking, the inci-  
dence of injury appears to be low when compared to  
other high-impact activities.  
Since walking can be comfortably performed by people  
of any age, walking appears to be practical and effec-  
tive in reducing a person's risk for developing osteo-  
porosis.  
WALKING AND STRESS REDUCTION  
There are many stressors in today's society, including  
economic concerns, work-related pressures and the  
need to balance career goals with home responsibili-  
ties. People who are unable to cope with these types  
of stressors are often tense and anxious, and may  
even become physically or psychologically ill.

WALKING AND INJURIES  
Walking is often associated with a low injury rate.  
Walking is considered to be a "low impact" activity be-  
cause one foot remains in contact with the ground at  
all times. Walking at speeds of 3 miles per hour pro-  
duces vertical impact forces that are around 1.25 times  
body weight, whereas running at 7 miles per hour in-  
creases vertical impact forces to more than 2.5 times  
body weight.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
Burning Fat  
WARNING:  
Before beginning  
To burn fat, you must exercise at a low intensity level  
for a sustained period of time. During the first few  
minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible  
carbohydrate calories for energy. 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 low end of your training zone as you exercise.  
any exercise program, consult your physi-  
cian. This is especially important for individu-  
als over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-  
existing health problems.  
The heart rate monitor is not a medical de-  
vice. Various factors may affect the accuracy  
of heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor  
is intended only as an exercise aid in deter-  
mining heart rate trends in general.  
Aerobic Exercise  
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-  
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise  
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 middle of your training zone.  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-  
ercise program. For more detailed information about  
exercise, obtain a book or consult your physician.  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or strengthen your car-  
diovascular 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. For effective exercise, your heart rate  
should be maintained at a level between 65% and 85%  
of your maximum heart rate as you exercise. This is  
known as your training zone. You can find your training  
zone in the table below. Training zones are listed ac-  
cording to age and physical condition.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
Each workout should include the following three impor-  
tant parts:  
A Warm-up—Warming up prepares the body for exer-  
cise by increasing circulation, delivering more oxygen  
to the muscles, and raising the body temperature.  
Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching  
and light exercise to warm up.  
Training Zone (Beats/Min.)  
Training Zone Exercise—After warming up, increase  
the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is in  
your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the  
first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep  
your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20  
minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exer-  
cise—never hold your breath.

A cool-down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10 min-  
utes of stretching to cool down. 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 be-  
tween workouts. After a few months, you may com-  
plete 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.
