USING YOUR TREADMILL A BEGINNER’S GUIDE Getting Started If you are over 45, or have had health problems, and this is your first step towards fitness, check with your physician first. Before you even get on your treadmill, stand along side it, and get used to the controls- raise and lower the speed and incline, and get a good feel for the controls. Then get on, straddling the belt with both hands on the handrails. Turn the machine on and set the speed at 1 or 2 MPH.
What to Wear All you really need are a good pair of shoes. Running shoes are not very good for walkers; choose walking shoes with a firm heel counter- the hard piece at the back of the shoe that holds the heel in place- and plenty of room for toes so they can spread out as they push off. Wear loose, comfortable clothes. Stretching At any level of walking, a stretching session is a good idea. Warm muscles respond better to stretches than cold ones, so walk for five or ten minutes until you’re warm.
B e g i n n e r ’ s G u i d e To U s i n g H e a r t R a t e HOW TO USE YOUR CHEST STRAP CHEST STRAP Using your chest strap, you can monitor your heart rate at any time during your workout or you can use a pre-programmed heart rate program. How to use the chest strap: • The chest strap will send your heart rate to the treadmill’s receiver and your pulse will be displayed within a matter of several seconds.
O P E R AT I O N G U I D E Displays actual or target heart rate (beats/min) & % of maximum heart rate. Increases & decreases incline, weight, age, workout time, & target heart rate. Raises and lowers target heart rate during heart rate program. Displays time of workout. Also displays pace (minutes per mile or km) when speed is changed. Displays calories burned during workout or current calories per minute being burned. Increases & decreases speed, weight, age & workout time.
O P E R AT I O N G U I D E NUMERIC KEYPAD The treadmill is equipped with a numeric keypad. This keypad may be used to enter weight, age, workout time, and target heart rate. After entering any of these values, press ENTER to confirm and move to the next prompt. This keypad also enables you to enter speed and incline values during a manual (P1 - MANUAL) or user program (P12-14). See “Fast Speed Entry” and “Fast Incline Entry” sections for more information.
O P E R AT I O N G U I D E Programs 3, 4, and 6 are divided into 9 segments. Divide the program time by 9 to compute the length of each segment. For example, if you choose a program time of 18 minutes, each segment will be 2 minutes long. The display gives a visual and an audible warning before each segment change if there is a change of speed or elevation. The segments of each program have a variety of speeds and inclines (See charts). To review your workout results, press START/STOP.

Raise your speed to increase your heart rate. • If your heart rate is 3 to 25 bpm below the target, the incline increases. When you are below the target zone, a green heart flashes on the dot matrix display. This reminds you that you are below your target zone.
