IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
WARNING:  
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the  
following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.  
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of this treadmill are adequately  
informed of all warnings and precautions.  
400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissi-  
pation of 450 joules. The surge suppressor  
must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and  
15 amps.  
2. Use the treadmill only as described.  
12. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-  
sor away from heated surfaces.  
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at  
least eight feet of clearance behind it. Do not  
place the treadmill on any surface that blocks  
air openings. To protect the floor or carpet  
from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.  
13. Never move the walking belt while the power  
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if  
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the  
treadmill is not working properly. (See  
BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 5 if the tread-  
mill is not working properly.)  
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-  
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a  
garage or covered patio, or near water.  
14. Never start the treadmill while you are stand-  
ing on the walking belt. Always hold the  
handrails while using the treadmill.  
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol  
products are used or where oxygen is being  
administered.  
15. The treadmill is capable of high speeds.  
Adjust the speed in small increments to avoid  
sudden jumps in speed.  
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets  
away from the treadmill at all times.  
7. The treadmill should not be used by persons  
weighing more than 250 pounds.  
16. The heart rate monitor is not a medical de-  
vice. Various factors, including the user's

21. When using iFIT.com CD’s and videos, an  
electronic “chirping” sound will alert you  
when the speed and/or incline of the treadmill  
is about to change. Always listen for the  
“chirp” and be prepared for speed and/or in-  
cline changes. In some instances, the speed  
and/or incline may change before the per-  
sonal trainer describes the change.  
24. Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill  
regularly.  
25. Never insert or drop any object into any  
opening.  
26.  
DANGER:

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

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.

The console also features new iFIT.com interactive  
technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a per-  
sonal trainer right in your home. Using the included  
audio cable, you can connect the treadmill to your  
home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play  
special iFIT.com CD programs (CD’s are available sep-  
arately). IFIT.com CD programs automatically control  
the speed and incline of the treadmill as a personal  
trainer guides you through every step of your workout.  
High-energy music provides added motivation. Each  
CD features two programs designed by certified per-  
sonal trainers.  
CAUTION:  
Before operating the  
console, read the following precautions.  
• Do not stand on the walking belt when turn-  
ing on the power.  
• Always wear the clip (see the drawing  
above) while operating the treadmill.  
• Adjust the speed in small increments to  
avoid sudden jumps in speed.  
• 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.  
In addition, you can connect the treadmill to your VCR  
and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (videocas-  
settes are available separately). Video programs offer  
the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, but add  
the excitement of working out with a class and an  
instructor—the hottest new trend at health clubs.  
• To reduce the possibility of electric shock,  
keep the console dry. Avoid spilling liquids  
on the console and place only a sealed water  
bottle in the water bottle holder.  
With the treadmill connected to your computer, you  
and access audio programs and video programs di-  
rectly from the internet. And by adding an optional up-  
grade module to the treadmill, you can use virtually  
endless features from our internet site. See  
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE  
The advanced console offers an impressive array of  
features to help you get the most from your exercise.  
When the console is in the manual mode, the speed  
and incline of the treadmill can be changed with a touch  
of a button. As you exercise, the console will display  
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure  
your heart rate using the chest pulse monitor.

Six certified personal trainer programs are also  
offered. Each program automatically controls the  
speed and incline of the treadmill to give you an effec-  
tive low-, medium-, or high-intensity workout. In addi-  
tion, two pulse programs control the speed and incline  
of the treadmill to keep your heart rate within a preset  
range during your workouts.

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 moder-  
ate to brisk pace can  
enhance aerobic fit-  
ness. Rippe and his  
colleagues1 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  
Since walking can be comfortably performed by people some degree of risk associated with the activity.  
of any age, walking appears to be practical and effec-  
tive in reducing a person's risk for developing osteo-  
porosis.  
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.  
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 produces  
vertical impact forces that are around 1.25 times body  
weight, whereas running at 7 miles per hour increases  
vertical impact forces to more than 2.5 times body  
weight.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body  
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for en-  
ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body  
begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal  
is to burn fat, adjust the speed or incline of the tread-  
mill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in  
your training zone.  
WARNING  
Before beginning any exercise program, con-  
sult your physician. This is especially impor-  
tant for individuals over the age of 35 or indi-  
viduals with pre-existing health problems.  
The heart rate monitor is not a medical de-  
vice. Various factors, including the user's  
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart  
rate readings. The heart rate monitor is in-  
tended only as an exercise aid in determining  
heart rate trends in general.  
For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed or incline  
of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle  
number in your training zone.  
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 pro-  
longed 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, ad-  
just the speed or incline of the treadmill until your heart  
rate is near the highest number in your training zone.  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-  
ercise program. Remember—these are general guide-  
lines only. For more detailed exercise information, ob-  
tain a reputable book or consult your physician.  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
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 and aerobic exercise.  
Each workout should include the following three parts:  
A Warm-up—Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes  
of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up in-  
creases your body temperature, heart rate and circula-  
tion in preparation for exercise.  
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.  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
near 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 define your “train-  
ing zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended  
heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the  
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
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 prevent post-ex-  
ercise problems.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
You can measure your heart rate using the chest pulse  
monitor. If your heart rate is too high or too low, adjust  
the speed or incline of the treadmill accordingly.  
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three  
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest  
between workouts. After a few months, you may  
complete up to five workouts each week if desired. The  
key to success is to make exercise a regular and en-  
joyable part of your everyday life.  
Fat Burning  
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively  
low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
