The Training Guide coaches the user through the three core Workout Programs, and contains all the exercises available with the Bowflex HVT machine. Each of the Workout Programs have been designed to take full advantage of the Bowflex HVT machine.
The Training Guide presents each exercise with the specific stance, pulley, grip, and motion to engage the intended muscle group in a certain orientation. Since each Workout Program has a specific focus, the order of exercises performed is important. Perform the exercises in the order recommended by the Workout Program. Follow along with the Training Guide for the descriptions, hints and photographs of each exercise.
Place the Training Guide on the media shelf to be an easy reference during a workout. Use the Workout Program tabs to quickly locate the start of the program. The order and color of the Exercise segments on the Console match the exercises in the Guide.
Note: If desired, a smart device with the Bowflex HVT App can be used in place of the Training Guide. Refer to the "Bowflex HVT Software App" section on how to use the Software App with your smart device.
Exercise on this machine requires coordination and balance. Be sure to anticipate that changes to resistance level can occur during workouts, and be attentive in order to avoid loss of balance and possible injury. Grab onto the Static Handlebars to stabilize yourself at any moment.
When the Bowflex HVT machine is not in use, place the Training Guide inside the Accessory Storage Area. The Accessory Storage Area is within the Upper Shroud behind the Media Shelf. With nothing on the Media Shelf, lift and pull outward the Media Shelf backing.
The clasp can be rotated to hold the Training Guide by inserting it into the spiral binding, or rotate and adjust to the height of the device you have on the Media Shelf.
This fitness machine is equipped with Bluetooth connectivity and can wirelessly connect with the "Bowflex HVT" Software Fitness App on supported iOS and Android devices. When connected with the Software App, the Bluetooth icon will activate. If the icon light is not on, then the fitness machine is not connected to the device.
The "Bowflex HVT" Software App connects with your fitness machine to provide the sequence of exercises that make each of the workout programs. Each exercise is presented with hints, descriptions, and video demonstrations. The Software App tracks the total time, calories burned, power score, resistance, and heart rate (if supplied). Plus, it automatically posts your workout data to MyFitnessPal to make hitting your fitness goal easier than ever! Track your results and share with friends and family. Once you understand how the Bowflex HVT machine works with your body, you can create your own workout program on the Software App.
Frequently asked questions and installation videos for the Software App can be found online at www.Bowflex.com/help.
This fitness machine is equipped with Bluetooth connectivity and can be wirelessly updated with the "Bowflex Toolbox" App. Once the App is installed on your device, the App will inform you of when there is an update to your machine.
When notified that there is an update to your fitness machine, follow the prompts on the App. Place the device that is running the App on the Media Tray. The App will update the software on the machine with the latest version. Do not remove your device from the Media Tray until the update is complete.
If a USB Device is attached to the USB Port, the Port will attempt to charge the Device. The power supplied from the USB Port may not be enough to operate the Device and charge it at the same time.
Monitoring your Heart Rate is one of the best procedures to control the intensity of your exercise. The Console reads the telemetry HR signals from the Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter that operates in the 4.5kHz - 5.5kHz range.
Note: The heart rate chest strap must be an uncoded heart rate strap from Polar Electro or an uncoded POLAR compatible model. (Coded POLAR heart rate straps such as POLAR OwnCode chest straps will not work with this equipment.)
If you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, consult your doctor before using a wireless chest strap or other telemetric heart rate monitor.
Your maximum heart rate usually decreases from 220 Beats Per Minute (BPM) in childhood to approximately 160 BPM by age 60. This fall in heart rate is usually linear, decreasing by approximately one BPM for each year. There is no indication that training influences the decrease in maximum heart rate. Individuals of the same age could have different maximum heart rates. It is more accurate to find this value by getting a stress test than by using an age related formula.
Your at rest heart rate is influenced by endurance training. The typical adult has an at rest heart rate of approximately 72 BPM, where as highly trained runners may have readings of 40 BPM or lower.
The Heart Rate table is an estimate of what Heart Rate Zone (HRZ) is effective to burn fat and improve your cardiovascular system. Physical conditions vary, therefore your individual HRZ could be several beats higher or lower than what is shown.
The most efficient procedure to burn fat during exercise is to start at a slow pace and gradually increase your intensity until your heart rate reaches between 60 – 85% of your maximum heart rate. Continue at that pace, keeping your heart rate in that target zone for over 20 minutes. The longer you maintain your target heart rate, the more fat your body will burn.
The graph is a brief guideline, describing the generally suggested target heart rates based on age. As noted above, your optimal target rate may be higher or lower. Consult your physician for your individual target heart rate zone.
Note: As with all exercises and fitness regimens, always use your best judgment when you increase your exercise time or intensity.
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or measured by the machine's computer for reference purposes only. The heart rate displayed on the console is an approximation and should be used for reference only.
It is highly recommended to warm up before any workout with the Bowflex HVT machine.
It is important to wear appropriate, safe and comfortable footwear and clothing when using the Bowflex HVT machine, including:
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. This machine contains moving parts. Do not put fingers, feet, or other objects into moving parts of the exercise equipment.
Always wear rubber soled athletic shoes when you use this machine. Do not use the machine with bare feet or only wearing socks.
To increase the intensity of your workout:
An Interval Training workout involves adjusting your workout intensity for specific lengths of time to raise and lower your breathing rate, heart rate and calorie burn. This form of workout allows you to burn more calories than a standard workout in a shorter period of time.
The Bowflex HVT machine combines "Work" and "Rest" segments to create an Interval workout. During a "Work" segment, push yourself to a level of high calorie burn and maximum repetitions. Then during the "Rest" segment, allow yourself to relax and prepare for the next "Work" segment.
These extreme changes in intensity, along with pushing your body, is where the maximum benefits are gained from Interval Training workouts.
Interval Training workouts provide variety, maximize calorie burn and improve fitness.
Place the machine on a clean, hard, level surface, free from unwanted material or other objects that may hamper your ability to move freely. A rubber mat can be used below the machine to prevent the release of static electricity and protect your flooring.
The machine can be moved by one or more persons. Make sure that your own physical strength is capable of safely moving the machine.
Be sure there is nothing in the workout area or in the Resistance Fan before moving anything on the machine. Do not put any objects into an opening of the machine.
Care should be used when mounting or dismounting the platform.
Always wear rubber soled athletic shoes when you use this machine. Do not use the machine with bare feet or only wearing socks.
Be aware that the Hand Grips, Ropes, and the Resistance Fan are connected and when either of these parts move the other does as well.
Be sure to stay in the safe workout area as marked on the Platform during a workout. Keep at least one foot on the Platform during a workout. Failure to do so could lead to equipment instability and harm to the user.
It is highly recommended to warm up before any workout with the Bowflex HVT machine.
Do not release the Hand Grips until the Hand Grip Stops are at rest and the ropes are fully retracted. Releasing the Hand Grips when not at rest may cause damage to the machine or injury to the user or bystanders.
The SPRINT workout has 4 Rounds and a total time of 18:20.
Note: Be sure to place the Hand Grips back to their starting orientation without twisting them. If twists develop on the ropes, they may not fully retract into the machine.
The Console will display the Power-Up / last selected Workout Program screen when it is plugged into a power source, any button is pushed, or if it receives a signal from the RPM (Revolutions per Minute) sensor on the Resistance Fan. The SPRINT Workout Program is the default program.
From the Power-Up mode screen, if the Console does not receive any input in approximately 5 minutes, it will automatically shut off. The LCD display is off while in Sleep Mode.
Note: The Console does not have an On/Off switch.
For a more accurate calorie count, a User Profile should be customized to the User.
Maximum user weight limit: 300 lbs. (136 kg). Do not use if you are over this weight.
The Bowflex HVT machine has four Workout Programs; SPRINT, CIRCUIT, BUILDER, and MANUAL. Each Workout Program guides the user through a unique sequence of exercises, quantity of Rounds, and times for each workout segment (Work, Rest, and Break).
Each Exercise Segment is an exercise for that the Workout Program. Using the Training Guide, find the selected Workout Program and then the matching exercise using the color of the Exercise Segment. As the Exercise Segment shifts colors, use the Training Guide to perform the next workout.
The Software App follows along with the Console, showing the exercise and all the workout information to perform it. The Software App automatically shifts to the next exercise in the program.
SPRINT program
(WORK: 20 seconds, REST: 10 seconds, BREAK: 60 seconds, Total Time: 18:20)
The SPRINT program has 4 Rounds, with each Round containing two exercises. The program switches between the two exercises until the Round is completed. A Break for 60 seconds is provided at the end of the Round. Then the first exercise of the next Round starts, repeating the routine.
Each exercise is performed for 20 seconds (Work) followed by 10 seconds of Rest.
CIRCUIT program
(Work: 25 seconds, Rest: 15 seconds, Break: 20 seconds, Total Time: 21:20)
The CIRCUIT program has 4 Rounds, with each Round containing all eight exercises. The program moves through each exercise until the Round is completed, and a Break for 20 seconds is provided. Then the next Round starts, and moves through all of the exercises again.
Each exercise is performed for 25 seconds (Work) followed by 15 seconds of Rest.
BUILDER program
(Work: 30 seconds, Rest: 0 seconds, Break: 30 seconds, Total Time: 21:30 )
The BUILDER program has 8 Rounds, with each Round having an additional exercise. Round 8 contains all eight exercises. The program moves through each exercise for that Round, and then provides a Break for 30 seconds. Then the next Round starts with an additional exercise.
Each exercise is performed for 30 seconds (Work).
MANUAL program
The MANUAL workout program is an open-ended workout that counts up the total time, total Work time, and total power. A MANUAL program is completely defined by the user.
During a MANUAL program, the Work Active Segment counts up the total time that the fan is moving. When the resistance fan stops, the time count pauses, while the total time of the workout continues.
Note: Because of the open-ended design of the MANUAL workout, the Add Time button is disabled. The maximum time is 99:59 minutes.
All exercises in this manual are based on the calibrated resistance and capacity levels of this machine. Only exercises included in this manual or in materials authorized and supplied by Bowflex are recommended for operation with this machine.
To start a Workout Program:
Do not release the Hand Grips until the Hand Grip Stops are at rest and the ropes are fully retracted. Releasing the Hand Grips when not at rest may cause damage to the machine or injury to the user or bystanders.
Note: The initial Work segment for MANUAL will not end until the fan stops revolving or the total time reaches 99:59 minutes. The Power value is set to zero after each exercise segment. At the end of the workout, the Total Power value is displayed.
The Console shows the segments that need to be performed, hiding the completed segments. The Power value is reset to zero after each exercise segment. At the end of the workout, the Total Power value is displayed.
Note: For every 100 calories burned during a workout, the Console will congratulate with an audible sound and a notification. When 30 seconds remain in the workout, the Console will notify the user by displaying "30 SECONDS LEFT".
To Pause a workout:
A SPRINT, CIRCUIT, or BUILDER workout will end when the last exercise is completed.
Note: If there is no input to the Console for 5 minutes, it automatically goes to the Power-Up / last selected Workout Program screen. If the Console does not receive any further input, it will automatically shut off in approximately 5 minutes.
Push the Add Time button to add an additional Round to the Workout Program The amount of time added depends on the Workout Program (SPRINT: 4:50 minutes, CIRCUIT: 5:25 minutes, BUILDER: 4:30 minutes), and can be done before or during a workout. When added during a workout, the adjusted Total Time of the workout is displayed for a few seconds, and then switches to the current workout time.
Note: Because of the open-ended design of the MANUAL workout, the Add Time button is disabled.
Turn the Resistance Dial to adjust the additional resistance applied to the fan at any time.
The Console is also equipped with a Save Resistance feature, which remembers the resistance level at the end of each exercise. When that exercise occurs again, the Console automatically adjusts the resistance to the remembered resistance level. Save Resistance can be deactivated for each User through the "Edit a User Profile" options. If the resistance level is manually adjusted during a workout, Save Resistance is deactivated for that exercise segment.
Note: When starting a full body workout program, consider reducing the Resistance Level for upper body exercises.
The resistance settings supplied by the resistance fan can vary based on environmental and usage patterns and other factors. Supplied resistance may degrade over time and after extensive usage.
The Total Power score is a unit-less point system that that dynamically represents a User's performance on the Bowflex HVT machine. The Total Power score is made up of:
During a workout, a Total Power score is provided for each exercise. At the end of the workout, a Total Power score for the entire workout is also displayed. The Total Power score may not change significantly for a User that performs an entire workout at the same level of intensity. However, if that same User were to increase resistance and/or speed for a given exercise, their score for that exercise as well as their overall score would increase. Since the score is based on speed, resistance, and range of motion, even a small score increase shows a significant shift in the User's fitness level.
By tracking these three factors the Bowflex HVT machine can provide instant and motivating feedback for Users as well as the ability to track your improvement over time. As you increase your work rate and intensity, your Total Power score will also increase.
Note: For a more accurate score, be sure to enter your weight value for the user profile. A Total Power score should only be compared to your previous scores and not to other User Profiles.
The Machine Settings Mode lets you view maintenance statistics (Total Hours and Software Version) or fully reset the Console.
