‼ NOTE
• Connect the power supply with the trainer before connecting it
to the wall outlet.
• Always remove power cord when machine is not in use.
Workouts
The workout must be suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic
exercise is based on improving the body's maximum oxygen uptake,
which in turn improves endurance and fitness. You should perspire,
but you should not get out of breath during the workout.
To reach and maintain a basic fitness level, exercise at least three
times a week, 30 minutes at a time. Increase the number of exercise
sessions to improve your fitness level. It is worthwhile to combine
regular exercise with a healthy diet. A person committed to dieting
should exercise daily, at first 30 minutes or less at a time, gradually
increasing the daily workout time to one hour. Start your workout at
low speed and low resistance to prevent the cardiovascular system
from being subjected to excessive strain.
As the fitness level improves, speed and resistance can be increased
gradually. The efficiency of your exercise can be measured by
monitoring your heart rate and your pulse rate.

Exercise Instructions

Using your fitness trainer will provide you with several benefits, it will
improve your physical fitness, tone muscle and in conjunction with a
calorie controlled diet help you lose weight.
The warming up phase
This stage helps get the blood flowing around the body and the
muscles working properly. It will also reduce the risk of cramp and
muscle injury. It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises as shown
below. Each stretch should be held for approximately 30 seconds, do
not force or jerk your muscles into a stretch - if it hurts, STOP
The exercise phase
This is the stage where you put the effort in. After regular use, the
muscles in your legs will become more flexible. Work to your but it is
very important to maintain a steady tempo throughout. The rate of
work should be sufficient to raise your heart beat into the target zone
shown on the graph below.

This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes though most
people start at about 15-20 minutes
The cool down phase
This stage is to let your Cardiovascular System and muscles wind
down. This is a repeat of the warm up exercise e.g. reduce your
tempo, continue for approximately 5 minutes. The stretching
exercises should now be repeated, again remembering not to force
or jerk your muscles into the stretch. As you get fitter you may need
to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least three times
a week, and if possible space your workouts evenly throughout the
week.
Muscle toning
To tone muscle while on your fitness trainer you will need to have the
resistance set quite high. This will put more strain on our leg muscles
and may mean you cannot train for as long as you would like. If you
are also trying to improve your fitness you need to alter your training
program. You should train as normal during the warm up and cool
down phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase you should
increase resistance making your legs work harder. You will have to
reduce your speed to keep your heart rate in the target zone.
Weight loss
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in.
The harder and longer you work the more calories you will burn.
Effectively this is the same as if you were training to improve your
fitness, the difference is the goal.
Heart rate
Heart rate measurement
(heart rate chest belt)
The most accurate heart rate measurement is achieved with a heart
rate chest belt. The heart rate is measured by a heart rate receiver
in combination with a heart rate transmitter belt. Accurate heart
measurement requires that the electrodes on the transmitter belt are
slight moist and constantly touching the skin. If the electrodes are
too dry or too moist, the heart rate measurement will become less
accurate.
⚠ WARNING
• If you have a pacemaker, consult a physician before using a
heartrate chest belt.
