PRESET PROGRAMS The console has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These five programs have factory preset work level profiles for achieving different goals. Hill The Hill program simulates going up and down a hill. The resistance in The pedals will steadily increase and then decrease during the program. Fat Burn The Fat Burn program is designed, as the name implies, to maximize the burning of fat. There are many schools of thought on the best way to burn fat but most experts agree that a lower exertion level that stays at a steady workload is the best. The absolute best way to burn fat is to keep your heart rate at around 60% to 70% of its maximum potential. This program does not use heart rate but simulates a lower, steady exertion workout. Cardio The Cardio program is designed to increase your cardiovascular function And endurance. This is exercise for your heart and lungs. It will build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and lung capacity. This is achieved by incorporating a higher level of exertion with slight fluctuations in work Strength The Strength program is designed to increase muscular strength in your lower body. This program will steadily increase in resistance to a high level and forces you to sustain it. This is designed to strengthen and tone your legs and glutes. ...

RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout. If you listen to your body, it will tell you all of these things. The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also known as the Borg scale, was developed by Swedish physiologist G.A.V. Borg. This scale rates exercise intensity from 6 to 20 depending upon how you feel or the perception of your effort. The scale is as follows: Rating Perception of Effort 6 Minimal 7 Very, very light 8 Very, very light + 9 Very light 10 Very light + 11 Fairly light 12 Comfortable 13 Somewhat hard 14 Somewhat hard + 15 Hard 16 Hard + 17 Very hard ...

GENERAL M AINTENANCE 1. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout. 2. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two reasons: I. The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible. It may be necessary to use a larger wrench than the one provided if you cannot tighten the bolts sufficiently. I cannot stress this point enough; 90% of calls to the service department for noise issues can be traced to lose hardware or the rear rails being dirty. II. Dirt build‐up on the rear rails and polyurethane wheels are also a source of noise. Noise from build‐up on the rails can cause a thumping sound that you would swear is coming from inside the main body of the machine because noise travels, and is amplified in the tubing of the frame. Clean the rails and wheels with a lint free cloth and rubbing alcohol. Stubborn build‐up can be removed with your thumbnail or a non‐metallic scraper, like the back edge of a plastic knife. After cleaning, apply a small amount of lubricant on the rails with your fingers or a lint free cloth. You only need a thin coat of lubrication, wipe off any excess. 3. If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled before calling the service department. ELLIPTICAL NOISES Your new elliptical is engineered and manufactured to the strictest industry standards and tolerances. All elliptical trainers, no matter who the manufacturer, have a multitude of moving linkages and parts. Be aware that even with the tightest mechanical tolerances there still could be a slight amount of play between some parts. This inherent play can result in slight noises during use such as clicks and small thumps. Please expect that the elliptical will not be completely silent. MAINTENANCE MENU IN CONSOLE SOFTWARE The console has built in maintenance/diagnostic software. The software will allow you to change the console settings from English (imperial) to Metric and turn off the beeping of the speaker when a key is pressed for example. To enter the Maintenance Menu (may be called Engineering Mode, depending on version) press and hold down the Start, Stop and Enter keys keep holding the keys down for about 5 seconds and the Message Window will display “ Engineering Mode”. Press the Enter button to access the menu below. Press the Level ▲/▼ keys to navigate the menu. ...

TRAINING GUIDELINES EXERCISE Exercise is one of the most important factors in the overall health of an individual. Listed among its benefits are: Increased capacity for physical work (strength endurance) Increased cardiovascular (heart and arteries/veins) and respiratory efficiency Decreased risk of coronary heart disease Changes in body metabolism, e.g. losing weight Delaying the physiological effects of age Physiological effects, e.g. reduction in stress, increase in self‐confidence, etc. BASIC COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS There are four all encompassing components of physical fitness and we need to briefly define each and clarify its role. Strength is the capacity of a muscle to exert a force against resistance. Strength contributes to power and speed and is of great importance to a majority of sports people. Muscular Endurance is the capacity to exert a force repeatedly over a period of time, e.g. it is the capacity of your legs to carry you 10 Km without stopping. Flexibility is the range of motion about a joint. Improving flexibility involves the stretching of muscles and tendons to maintain or increase suppleness, and provides increased resistance to muscle injury or soreness. Cardio‐Respiratory Endurance is the most essential component of physical fitness. It is the efficient functioning of the heart and lungs AEROBIC FITNESS The largest amount of oxygen that you can use per minute during exercise is called your maximum oxygen uptake (MVo2). This is often referred to as your aerobic capacity. The effort that you can exert over a prolonged period of time is limited by your ability to deliver oxygen to the working muscles. Regular vigorous exercise produces a training effect that can increase your aerobic capacity by as much as 20 to 30%. An increased MVO2 indicates an increased ability of the heart to pump blood, of the lungs to ventilate oxygen and of the muscles to take up oxygen. Anaerobic Training This means “without oxygen” and is the output of energy when the oxygen supply is insufficient to meet the body’s long term energy demands. (For example, 100 meter sprint). The Training Threshold This is the minimum level of exercise which is required to produce significant improvements in any physical fitness parameter. ...
Page 31
Progression As your become fitter, a higher intensity of exercise is required to create an overload and therefore provide continued improvement Overload This is where you exercise at a level above that which can be carried out comfortably. The intensity, duration and frequency of exercise should be above the training threshold and should be gradually increased as the body adapts to the increasing demands. As your fitness level improves, so the training threshold should be raised. Working through your program and gradually increasing the overload factor is important. Specificity Different forms of exercise produce different results. The type of exercise that is carried out is specific both to the muscle groups being used and to the energy source involved. There is little transfer of the effects of exercise, i.e. from strength training to cardiovascular fitness. That is why it is important to have an exercise program tailored to your specific needs. Reversibility If you stop exercising or do not do your program often enough, you will lose the benefits you have gained. Regular workouts are the key to success. WARM UP Every exercise program should start with a warm up where the body is prepared for the effort to come. It should be gentle and preferably use the muscles to be involved later. Stretching should be included in both your warm up and cool down, and should be performed after 3‐5 minutes of low intensity aerobic activity or callisthenic type exercise. Warm Down or Cool Down This involves a gradual decrease in the intensity of the exercise session. Following exercise, a large supply of blood remains in the working muscles. If it is not returned promptly o the central circulation, pooling of blood may occur in the muscles Heart Rate As you exercise, so the rate at which your heart beat also increases. This is often used as a measure of the required intensity of exercise. You need to exercise hard enough to condition your circulatory system, and increase your pulse rate, but not enough to strain your heart. Your initial level of fitness is important in developing an exercise program for you. If you are starting off, you can get a good training effect with a heart rate of 110‐120 beats per minute (BPM). If you are fitter, you will need a higher threshold of stimulation. To begin with, you should exercise at a level that elevates your heart rate to about 65 to 70% of your maximum. If you find this is too easy, you may want to increase it, but it is better to lean on the conservative side. As a rule of thumb, the maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. As you increase in age, so your heart, like other muscles, loses some of its efficiency. Some of its natural loss is won back as fitness improves. customerservice@dyaco.ca ...

The following table is a guide to those who are “starting fitness”. Age 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 Target heart Rate 10 Second Count 23 22 22 21 20 19 19 18 18 Beats per Minute 138 132 132 126 120 114 114 108 108 Pulse Count The pulse count (on your wrist or carotid artery in the neck, taken with two index fingers) is done for ten seconds, taken a few seconds after you stop exercising. This is for two reasons: (a) 10 seconds is long enough for accuracy, (b) the pulse count is to approximate your BPM rate at the time you are exercising. Since heart rate slows as you recover, a longer count isn’t as accurate. The target is not a magic number, but a general guide. If you’re above average fitness, you may work quite comfortably a little above that suggested for your age group. The following table is a guide to those who are keeping fit. Here we are working at about 80% of maximum. Age 25 ...

Body Building Is often used synonymously with strength training. The fundamental principal here is OVERLOAD. Here, the muscle works against greater loads than usual. This can be done by increasing the load you are working against. Patronization This is the term used to vary your exercise program for both physiological and psychological benefits. In your overall program, you should vary the workload, frequency and intensity. The body responds better to variety and so do you. In addition, when you feel yourself getting “stale’, bring in periods of lighter exercise to allow the body to recuperate and restore its reserves. You will enjoy your program more and feel better for it. Muscle Soreness For the first week or so, this may be the only indication you have that you are on an exercise program. This, of course, does depend on your overall fitness level. A confirmation that you are on the correct program is a very slight soreness in most major muscle groups. This is quite normal and will disappear in a matter of days. If you experience major discomfort, you may be on a program that is too advanced or you have increased your program too rapidly. If you experience PAIN during or after exercise, your body is telling you something. Stop exercising and consult your doctor. WHAT TO WEAR Wear clothing that will not restrict your movement in any way while exercising. Clothes should be light enough to allow the body to cool. Excessive clothing that causes you to perspire more than you normally would while exercising, gives you no advantage. The extra weight you lose is body fluid and will be replaced with the next glass of water you drink. It is advisable to wear a pair of gym or running shoes or “sneakers”. Breathing During Exercise Do not hold your breath while exercising. Breathe normally as much as possible. Remember, breathing involves the intake and distribution of oxygen, which feeds the working muscles. Rest periods Once you start your exercise program, you should continue through to the end. Do not break off halfway through and then restart at the same place later on without going through the warm‐up stage again. The rest period required between strength training exercises may vary from person to person. This will depend mostly on your level of fitness and the program you have chosen. Rest between exercises by all means, but do not allow this to exceed two minutes. Most people manage with half minute to one minute rest periods. customerservice@dyaco.ca ...
STRETCHING Stretching should be included in both your warm up and cool down, and should be performed after 3‐5 minutes of low intensity aerobic activity or callisthenic type exercise. Movements should be performed slowly and smoothly, with no bouncing or jerking. Move into the stretch until slight tension, not pain, is felt in the muscle and hold for 20‐30 seconds. Breathing should be slow, rhythmical and under control, making sure never to hold your breath.
