HOW TO USE THE HEART RATE MONITOR

HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR

HEART RATE MONITOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Before you use the heart rate monitor, please read all

instructions on this page and the following page.

¥ 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

use, it may remain activated longer than necessary,

draining the battery prematurely.

The heart rate mon-

itor consists of two

components: the

chest strap and the

sensor unit.

Chest Strap

HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

The instructions on the following pages explain

how the heart rate monitor is used with the console.

If the letters ÒPLSÓ appear in the PULSE display or if

the displayed heart rate is excessively high or low,

try the steps below.

¥ 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. In

addition, make sure that the logo on the sensor unit

is facing forward and is 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.

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.

¥ 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.

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.

¥ 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 armÕs length of the console.

¥ 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.

TREADMILL OPERATION

THE PERFORMANT LUBE^TMWALKING BELT

electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord

having an equipment-grounding conductor and a

grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a surge

protector, and plug the surge protector into an ap-

propriate outlet that is properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all local codes and

ordinances.

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with

PERFORMANT LUBE^TM, a high-performance lubricant.

IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other

substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-

form. They will deteriorate the walking belt and

cause excessive wear.

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 protector to a 2-pole recep-

tacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded out-

let is not available.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

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 productÑif it will

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in-

stalled by a qualified electrician.

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.

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated

electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by

sudden voltage changes in your homeÕs power.

Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can re-

sult from weather conditions or from other appliances

being turned on or off.

To decrease the pos-

sibility of your tread-

CAUTION:Before operating the

console, read the following precautions.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers an impressive array of fea-

tures to make your workouts more effective. When the

console is in the manual mode, the speed, incline and

cushion level of the treadmill can be changed with a

touch of a button. As you exercise, the LED displays will

provide continuous exercise feedback.

¥ Do not stand on the walking belt when turn-

ing on the power or starting the walking belt.

¥ Always wear the clip (see O above) while

operating the treadmill. If the key is pulled

from the console, the walking belt will stop.

The console also offers thirteen preset workout programs:

five speed programs automatically control the speed of

the treadmill as they guide you through effective work-

outs; five incline programs automatically control the in-

cline of the treadmill; two pulse programs automatically

control the speed and the incline of the treadmill to keep

your heart rate within a predetermined range during your

workouts; and a pulse-based fitness test program esti-

mates the relative fitness level you have achieved.

¥ The treadmill is capable of high speeds;

adjust the speed in small increments.

¥ 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.

¥ If you have heart problems, or if you are over

60 years of age and have been inactive, do

not use the three pulse-driven programs. If

you are taking medication regularly, consult

your physician to find whether the medica-

tion will affect your exercise heart rate.

You can even create custom workout programs and

store them in the consoleÕs memory for future use.

In addition, the console features a workout history mode

that keeps track of the total hours you have exercised,

the miles you have walked or run, the calories and fat

calories you have burned, and your average speed. The

console can display the totals for the previous 7 days or

the totals since you last reset the workout history mode.

¥ To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep the

console dry. Avoid spilling liquid on the

console and use only a sealable water bottle.

cating that the

first 4-minute

period of the

FITNESS

TEST program has begun. The walking belt will

begin to move at 1.5 mph and the incline of the

treadmill will automatically adjust to 3%. Hold the

handrails and carefully begin walking.

The FITNESS TEST program is designed to estimate

the relative fitness level you have achieved. For the

best results, the FITNESS TEST program should be

used at a time when your energy level is high; the pro-

gram should not be used if you have already exercised

during the day.

The FITNESS TEST program consists of up to seven 4-

minute periods and is followed by a 2-minute cool-down

period. The speed and/or incline of the treadmill will au-

tomatically increase at the beginning of each 4-minute

period. When your heart rate reaches 70% of your max-

imum possible heart rate, the FITNESS TEST will end.

After the 2-minute cool-down period, the console will

display your estimated fitness level.

When the first 4-minute period of the FITNESS

TEST program is completed, the LED matrix will

show ÒLVL 2,Ó indicating that the second 4-minute

period has begun. The speed of the treadmill will

then increase to 2.5 mph and the incline will in-

crease to 4%.

To use the program, follow the steps below.

Insert the key into the console.

See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 12.

When the second 4-minute period is completed,

the LED matrix will show ÒLVL 3.Ó The speed will

then increase to 3.3 mph; the incline will remain

the same. At the beginning of each 4-minute pe-

riod, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will

automatically increase. The program will continue

until your heart rate reaches 70% of your maximum

possible heart rate and the current 4-minute period

ends. The program will then be completed, regard-

less of how many 4-minute periods remain.

a. If the heart rate monitor does not function properly, refer to HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLE-

SHOOTING on page 7.

b. If the heart rate monitor still does not function properly, the battery

should be changed. To replace the battery, locate the battery cover

on the back of the sensor unit. Insert a coin into the slot in the cover

and turn the cover counterclockwise to the ÒopenÓ position. Remove

the cover.

Next, remove the old battery from the sensor unit. Insert a new CR

2032 battery, making sure that the writing is on top. In addition, make

sure that the rubber gasket is in place in the sensor unit. Replace the

battery cover and turn it to the closed position.

REEBOK UNIVERSITY

Reebok University was launched in 1993 to fulfill a

vision to establish a Òuniversity without wallsÓ 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 worldÕs best professionals, Reebok

University has created a host of original programs,

such as Step Reebok^¨, Walk Reebok^SM, Slide Reebok^SMcardiovascular disease.

and Reebok City Jam^SM. The industry has adopted

Reebok programming as the ÒgoldÓ 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 colleagues³concluded 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 colleagues⁴concluded 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 aero-

bic fitness. Rippe and

his colleagues¹found

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 colleagues²found 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 colleagues⁶found

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 colleagues⁷reported 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 colleagues¹⁰reported 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

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 this

or 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, 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 Òaerobic.Ó 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. RememberÑthese are general guide-

lines only. For more detailed exercise information, ob-

tain a reputable book or consult your physician.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your

cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

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-upÑStart 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 ExerciseÑAfter 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-

ciseÑnever 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 Òtrain-

ing zone.Ó The lower two numbers are recommended

heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the

recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

A Cool-downÑFinish 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 heart rate

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.

Fat Burning

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively

low intensity level for a sustained period of time.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretchÑnever bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward

from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you

reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15

counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings,

back of knees and back.

2. Hamstring Stretch

Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot

toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended

leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15

counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches:

Hamstrings, lower back and groin.

3. Calf/Achilles Stretch

With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your

hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your

back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and

move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.

Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the

achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches:

Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.

4. Quadriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and

grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close

to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.

Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip

muscles.

5. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.

Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold

for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches:

Quadriceps and hip muscles.
