HOW TO USE THE PULSE PROGRAMS

The three pulse programs automatically control theresistance of the pedals to keep your heart rate neara target level while you exercise.

Put on a Polar®-compatible chest pulse sensor(not included).

You must wear a chest pulse sensor to use apulse program. See the instructions includedwith your chest pulse sensor.



Select one of the three pulse programs.

To select a pulse program, repeatedly press thePROGRAM SELECT button until the words “CAR-DIO PULSE,” “ENDURANCE PULSE,” or “MAN-UAL PULSE” appear in the main display. Note:The CARDIO PULSE program will keep yourheart rate near 65% of your estimated maximumheart rate (see step 5 at the right for an explana-tion of estimated maximum heart rate). The EN-DURANCE PULSE program will keep your heartrate near 80% of your estimated maximum heartrate. The MANUAL PULSE program will keepyour heart rate near a percentage that you select.

A few seconds after the program is selected, thename of the program and the total program timewill begin to scroll across the main display.

Note: During pulseprograms, the ma-trix will show amoving graphicthat representsyour heart rate.Each time a heart-beat is detected,an additional peak will appear in the graphic.

Press the Start button and enter your age.

When the button is pressed, the words “ENTERAGE” and the current age setting will appear in

the main display. To enter your age, press the +and – buttons beside the ENTER AGE/WT. but-ton.

If you have selected the CARDIO PULSE pro-gram or the ENDURANCE PULSE program, goto step 6. If you have selected the MANUALPULSE program, go to step 5.

Press the Start button and enter a target heartrate setting.

When the button is pressed, the words “ENTERPERCENT” and the current target heart rate set-ting for the program will appear in the main dis-play. The target heart rate setting represents apercentage of your estimated maximum heartrate. Note: Your estimated maximum heart rate isdetermined by subtracting your age from 220. Forexample, if you are 30 years old, your estimatedmaximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220– 30 = 190). Therefore, if you are 30 years old, atarget heart rate setting of 65% is equal to 123beats per minute (65% of 190 is 123).

If desired, you can change the target heart ratesetting by pressing the + and – buttons beside theENTER AGE/WT. button. The target heart ratesetting can be from 50% to 85% of your estimatedmaximum heart rate.



The program is divided into 30-second segments.One target heart rate setting is programmed foreach segment. (If the MANUAL PULSE programis selected, the same target heart rate setting isprogrammed for all segments.)

At the end of each segment, a series of tones willsound, and then the resistance of the pedals willautomatically increase or decrease, if necessary,to bring your heart rate closer to the target heartrate setting for the next segment. The program willcontinue in this way until the main display showsthat no time remains in the program.

EXERCISE STEPS

The following nine steps for designing your exercise program were developed by exercise physiologists atNordicTrack. The actual exercise you perform is only a part of a safe and effective training program. Thereare many other aspects to developing a life-long commitment to physical fitness.

Consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.

A medical examination or consultation with yourphysician is essential.

Establish personal fitness goals.

Set attainable, realistic goals. Reward yourselfwhen you meet your goals. Remember, yourgoals should act as a guide for your workout program.

Determine your target heart rate.

Your target heart rate (THR), is the rate at whichyou would like your heart to work during aerobicexercise. It is expressed as a percentage of yourmaximum heart rate (MHR). MHR is the maximumnumber of times that your heart can pump duringone minute. To determine your approximate MHR,subtract your age (in years) from 220. This is onlyan estimation of your MHR—only clinical stresstesting can provide an actual MHR reading.

Once you have determined your MHR, you canestablish your target heart rate zone. Beginningexercisers may wish to start at 60 to 70 percent oftheir MHR. This level is called the Health level.Exercise at 70 to 85 percent of your MHR for theoptimal training, aerobic, or cardiovascular level—the Fitness level. Advanced exercisers, or thosewishing to do sports, athletic conditioning, or inter-val training workouts should exercise at 80 to 85percent of the MHR for short periods of time. Thechart below shows Target Heart Rate Zones forHealth, Fitness, and Advanced exercisers.

Be sure to check your heart rate at least twiceduring an aerobic conditioning session. First,check your heart rate five minutes into your work-out to be sure that you are at the proper intensity.Then, check it again near the end of your workoutto verify that you have maintained your targetheart rate for the recommended period of time.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

28

Warm up before you begin.

A warm-up routine prepares your body and mindfor vigorous exercise. It also helps provide insur-ance against injury and soreness. Warm up withtwo to five minutes of slow exercise, at minimal in-tensity.

Stretch after your warm-up.

A pliable, well-stretched muscle is less suscepti-ble to injury. Perform the recommended stretcheson a smooth, flat surface.

The correct form for several stretches is describedbelow (see the drawings at the right). Be sure tomove slowly as you stretch—never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch—Sit with your knees bentslightly and slowly bend forward from your hips.Allow your back and shoulders to relax as youreach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times.Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees, and back.

2. Calf/Achilles Stretch—With one leg in front ofthe other, reach forward and place your handsagainst a wall. Keep your back leg straight andyour back foot flat on the floor. Bend your frontleg, lean forward, and move your hips toward thewall. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax.Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause furtherstretching of the achilles tendons, bend your backleg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons,and ankles.

3. Hamstring Stretch—Sit with one leg extended.Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you andrest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg.Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Holdfor 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 timesfor both legs. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back,and groin.

4. Inner Thigh Stretch—Sit with the soles of yourfeet together and your knees outward. Pull yourfeet toward your groin area as far as possible.Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

5. Quadriceps Stretch—With one hand against awall for balance, reach back and grasp one footwith your other hand. Bring your heel as close toyour buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg.Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

WEIGHT LOSS TIPS

At least four, 30-minute workouts per week,along with a reduced-calorie diet, are recommended if you are trying to lose weight.However, be sure to stay within your target heartrate zone and exercise a maximum of 5 days perweek for 60 minutes per workout.

Good posture is the key to safe, comfortableworkouts. Keep your chin up and your head facing forward. Align your head and shoulderswith your hips. Avoid leaning forward. Keep yourback straight.

Get FIT with NordicTrack

Effective aerobic exercise has three major parts:frequency, intensity, and time. The acronym "FIT"may help you to remember these three parts:

“F” stands for the frequency of your work-outs. Three to five workouts per week are

recommended. Exercise at least four times aweek for weight loss.

“I” refers to the intensity of your workout.Check your heart rate at least twice during

your aerobic exercise session: once during thesession and once again at the end. Maintain aworkout intensity level within your Target HeartRate Zone. You can measure your heart rateusing the handgrip pulse sensor or the methoddescribed below:

1. Lower your wrist below your heart level. Thiswill make your heart rate stronger and easier tofeel.

2. Using theindex and middle finger-tips of yourright hand,touch your leftwrist, one-fourth inch fromyour wrist joint,at the base of your thumb.

3. Apply minimal pressure with both fingers—letthe beat come to your fingers. If you can’t findyour pulse, use the opposite wrist and hand.

“T” is for the time or duration of your work-out. Beginning exercisers may wish to start

with 5 to 10 minutes of aerobic activity. Those inaverage physical condition should exercise for 20to 30 minutes. Highly fit people, or people whowant to lose weight, should exercise for 30 to 60minutes. The key is to maintain your target heartrate for the duration of the workout period.

Remember to take it slowly. Fitness is a lifelongcommitment. If you can’t go the full 20 minutesfrom the start, which is common, try to exercisefor five minutes at a time, a couple of times a day.Recent research indicates that several short workouts in one day can also provide fitness benefits. Gradually, your stamina will increaseand it will become easier to exercise for longerperiods of time.

Cool down after aerobic exercise.

Keep moving! It is important that you cool downproperly to allow your heart rate to decreaseslowly after it has been elevated. This helps theblood flow from your extremities back to yourheart. Keep your legs moving on the recumbentbike at a slower pace for at least five minutes fol-lowing the aerobic phase.

Stretch again at the end of your exercisesession.

Stretching after exercise reduces muscle sore-ness. See step 5 on page 28.

Participate in strength training.

"Balanced fitness, including both strength trainingand aerobic exercise, can do more to ensure ahappy life than just about anything else known tomedical science today."

—Kenneth Cooper, M.D., M.P.H., founder of TheCooper Institute For Aerobic Research, Dallas,Texas.

A strength-training program increases your leanmuscle mass. Lean muscle mass aids in burningbody fat. With additional muscle mass andstrength, you will receive the full benefits of an ex-ercise program. You will also be less prone to in-juries during the aerobic phase of your workout.

WORKOUT PROGRAMS

The Health level typically lasts four to six weeks. Atthis level you should be concerned with slowly improv-ing your fitness level and endurance.

Take it slowly. Set mini-goals for yourself. You maywant to begin your fitness routine with three or fourshort, 5- or 10-minute workouts in a day.

Move on to the Fitness Level only when you feel readyand your heart rate has moved below your target heartrate zone.

The Fitness level usually lasts 12 to 20 weeks. (It maylast longer, depending on your fitness goals.) At thislevel you should strive to achieve your fitness goals.

Set realistic short- and long-term goals for yourself.Frequently re-evaluate your fitness goals and rewardyourself as you are successful.

Move on to the Advanced Level when you havereached your fitness goals and your heart rate hasmoved below your target heart rate zone.

Work out at the Advanced level once you havereached your desired fitness goals. It is intended to bea maintenance program and should continue on a reg-ular, long-term basis.

You may wish to add Interval Training to your mainte-nance program as well. Interval training will add varietyto your workout routine and further condition your cardiovascular system. Interval training has beenshown to promote higher levels of aerobic condition-ing. It consists of spurts of high-intensity activity fol-lowed by active rest periods of exercise at a lower in-tensity. For example, a one-minute spurt of high-resis-tance, fast exercise is followed by a two- to three-minute active rest period of low-resistance, slow exer-cise. The duration of these periods should be basedmore on how you feel rather than time. A sequencesuch as this should be repeated 5 to 20 times duringyour workout session.

WORKOUT TIPS

Full-body conditioning helps take care of many oflife’s aches and pains. However, it takes time foryour body to adapt to any new routine. Below aresome tips that will help ease you into your newNordicTrack routine.

• Begin and end each exercise session with thestretches on page 28. Stretch in a smooth, controlled manner. Hold each stretch for 15 to30 seconds. You may experience some initialmuscle soreness and discomfort as a result ofexercising inactive or poorly stretched muscles. For maximum benefit, a stretchingroutine must be performed every day.

• Be aware of your body’s signals and react tothem accordingly. At your correct exercise in-tensity, you should be able to whistle or main-tain a normal conversation. If during exercise you feel tired, light-headed, dizzy, ornauseated, stop exercising immediately andconsult your physician. Your heart rate mayalso be affected by such things as stress, caffeine, nicotine, or prescription drugs.
