Troubleshooting - York Fitness CHALLENGER Omega X-Trainer Owner's Manual

HOW LOnG SHOULD I EXErCISE FOr?
That really depends on your current level of fitness. If
you're just starting out on a new exercise program, you
should start gradually and build up - do not try to do too
much too quickly. 0 minutes,  times a week should be
enough. Don't push yourself too hard - you should never
feel overly exhausted during or following exercise.
HEArT rATE TrAInInG
To get the most out of your new piece of fitness
equipment and see the best results from your training you
should exercise at the right level of effort, and that means
listening to your heart! Working out to a target heart rate
means you can direct your workout to achieve different
goals:
Good health - For those wishing to improve quality of life
and general well being. Your sessions will need to be done
at an intensity of between 50 - 60% of your estimated
maximum heart rate, should last about 0 minutes and
can be done on most days of the week.
Weight loss - To see a significant reduction in body fat,
your sessions must be a little more intense - between
60 - 70% of your estimated maximum heart rate. These
sessions can also be performed on most days of the week
for up to 0 minutes.
Improving fitness levels - These sessions should be
performed at 70 - 80% of your estimated maximum heart
rate and can also involve bouts of interval training that
would have your heart rate peaking for short times near
your maximum heart rate level. These are intense sessions
and will require at least a 8 hour rest between sessions.
CALCULATInG YOUr TArGET HEArT rATE
First, you need to find your estimated maximum heart rate
using the formula 220 minus your age in five years. So, if
you are 5 years old your estimated maximum heart rate
is: 220 - 35 = 185 beats per minutes (BPM)
Next to calculate your target heart rate, simply multiply
your estimated maximum heart rate ( 185 BPM ) by the
applicable percentage. So, if your goal is better heart:
185 x 60% = 111 BPM
NOTE: The important issue to remember with all
estimated calculations is that they are just estimates
- if you don't feel comfortable exercising at your target
then reduce it to a level you are comfortable with. Heart
rate training requires you to monitor your heart rate
throughout the workout. For this we recommend using
a chest strap (if you machine has a wireless receiver ) or
a heart rate monitor. For more information please visit

If you are having problems with your heart rate reading
please note that some fibres used in clothes eg) polyester,
create static electricity that may prevent a reliable heart
rate reading. Mobile phones, TV's, microwaves and other
electrical appliances that generate an electromagnetic
field may also interfere with heart rate measurement.
If you are still having problems with your equipment.
please get in touch with your local YORK® distributor
using the details found in the Customer Support section.
NOTE: If you have a problem with your equipment,
before you do anything else please check that all the
cables have been connected correctly. Loose cable are
very common and many problems can be solved by
making sure the cables are properly connected.
