MOVEMENT & STORAGE.-

Fig.6 to make it easier to move. Make
sure that the mains cable is unplugged

thing to do is to fold it up. Tilt the
treadmill so that the wheels (29) rest on

treadmill across uneven floors.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.-
FITNESS.
Being fit means living life to the full.
Modern society suffers greatly from
stress. City life is basically sedentary.
There are too many calories and too
much fat in our diet. All doctors agree
that regular exercise is a good way to
control our weight, make us fitter and
help us to relax.
ADVANTAGES OF EXERCISE.-
Regular exercise below a certain level
for 15/20 minutes becomes aerobic.
Aerobic exercise is basically exercise
that uses oxygen. Normally, this is a
continuous exercise without pauses. In
addition to sugars and fats, the body
also needs oxygen. Regular exercise
turning
them
improves the body's ability to supply
oxygen to all of the muscles and at the
same time improve lung function, the
heart's pumping capacity and better
blood circulation. In short, the energy
produced
during
kilocalories (known as calories).
EXERCISE & WEIGHT
CONTROL.-
The food we eat is transformed into,
among other things, energy (calories) for
our body. If we take in more calories than
we burn then the result is an increase in
weight and vice versa, if we burn more
calories than we eat, we lose weight.
When resting the body burns around 70
calories per hour to keep our vital
functions active.
Before starting any exercise program,
bearing in mind that exercise programs
vary depending on age and physical
condition, it is advisable to consult your
doctor given that you will achieve better
results based on his/her advice or
suggestions. Regardless of whether your
goal is to become fitter, control your
weight or for physiotherapy, always
remember that your exercise should be
gradual, planned, varied and not too
demanding. We recommend that you
should exercise 3 to 5 times per week.
Before beginning a session it is
important to do a warm-up for 2-3
minutes at low speed. This will help
protect your muscles and prepare your
cardiorespiratory system.
The next stage will last 15-20 minutes at
a pulse rate of between 65 to 75%, or
between 75 to 85% for those already
accustomed to exercise.
At a later stage, once we have become
fitter, we can divide this time between
both levels but always remembering
