3. Whilst another person holds the Upright (2) in the posi-
tion shown, connect the Extension Wire Harness (44)
to the Wire Harness (79). Carefully pull the upper
end of the Extension Wire Harness to remove any
slack. Whilst holding the upper end of the
Extension Wire Harness,
insert the Upright into the
Frame (1). Do not pinch the Wire Harnesses.
Next, turn the Upright Knob (43) counterclockwise sev-
eral turns. Pull the Knob, slide the Upright (2) down
until the Knob is aligned with one of the four adjust-
ment holes, and then release the Knob. Do not tighten
the Knob yet.
Feed the upper end of the Extension Wire Harness (44)
through the Upright Extension (73). Attach the Upright
Extension to the Upright (2) with three M10 x 27mm
Button Screws (67) and three M10 Split Washers (59).
4. Connect the wire harness on the Handgrip Pulse
Sensor (29) to the indicated wire harness on the
Console (23). Insert both wire harnesses into the open-
ing in the bottom of the Console. Next, insert the metal
tube on the Handgrip Pulse Sensor into the opening in
the bottom of the Console. Be careful not to pinch
the wire harnesses.
See the inset drawing. Align the holes in the bracket on
the Console (23) with the holes in the metal tube on
the Handgrip Pulse Sensor (29). Tighten two M4 x
16mm Screws (52) through the bracket into the tube as
shown.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
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, maximum fat
burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
at 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 are your “training zone.”
The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates
for fat burning; the highest number is the recommend-
ed heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible
carbohydrate calories for ener-
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.
If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num-
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle num-
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exer-
cise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen
for prolonged 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, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone as you exercise.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-
ration for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise
program, do not keep your heart rate in your training
zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts.
After a few months of regular exer-
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week
if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise pro-
gram, consult your physician. This is espe-
cially important for persons over the age of
35 or persons with pre-existing health prob-
lems.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
