CALCULATING BODY MASS INDEX
The MC-500 features a body mass index calculator, which can provide a reasonable assessment on the user's overall fat
content using data for age, gender, height and weight. To calculate body mass index:
The body mass index ("BMI") is to be used as a guide only and should not be
considered medical data. BMI values in the following ranges are indicators of: ≤19
–underweight; 20 to 25 – normal; 26 to 29 – overweight; ≥30 – obese.
1. Turn on the equipment.
2. Press FAT, or press PROG repeatedly, until "FAT" shows on the display.
Beneath this will be the input data type (described below) on the left, and the data value on the right. The
example image shows and age value of "52".
3. Press MODE to select the BMI data to input. Each press steps between the following input data types.
For each type of data, adjust the value using
type:
• "F1" - Gender. Possible values are "01" for male, "02" for female.
•
"F2" - Age. Possible values are "10" to "99".
• "F3" - Height in centimetres. Possible values are "100" to "240".
• "F4" - Weight in kilograms. Possible values are "20" to "160".
• "F5" - Physical detection. Place the palms of your hands on the pulse sensors and keep them there until
the BMI value is shown.
4. When finished, press STOP.
BELT PLATFORM INCLINATION
The treadmill features 15-positions belt platform inclination. This means that the end of the belt platform can be raised/
lowered up to 15% gradient. The lower the end of the belt platform is, compared to the front, provides a more strenuous
workout. Adjust belt platform inclination using▲ / ▼ as required. The current gradient is shown on the display.
TRAINING
If you are a beginner, start by training for several days at a gentle pace; don't push yourself and rest if necessary.
Gradually increase the frequency and duration of sessions. Ensure the room in which you are exercising is well
ventilated.
STRETCHING/WARMING UP: GENTLE E ORT FOR A MINIMUM OF 10 MINUTES
To maintain tness or for rehabilitation, train every day for at least 10 minutes. This type of exercise provides a good,
gentle work-out for muscles and joints and can be used as a warm-up activity before more intense physical exercise.
To develop muscle tone in the legs, choose a steeper incline and increase the duration of the exercise.
AEROBIC EXERCISE FOR WEIGHT LOSS: MODERATE E ORT FOR 35 TO 60 MINUTES
This type of training is an e ective way of burning calories. There is no point in pushing yourself unduly; for the best
results the most important thing is frequency of exercise (at least 3 times a week) and the duration of the session (35
to 60 minutes). Exercise at average intensity (moderate e ort so you are not out of breath). In order to lose weight, as
well as taking regular physical exercise, it's essential to follow a balanced diet.
AEROBIC TRAINING FOR ENDURANCE: SUSTAINED E ORT FOR 20 TO 40 MINUTES
This type of exercise helps strengthen the heart muscle and improves your respiratory health. Exercise at least 3
times a week at a steady pace (rapid breathing). As your training progresses, you will be able to maintain this e ort for
longer, and at an improved pace. Training at a faster pace (anaerobic and in the red zone) is reserved for athletes and
requires special preparation.
