21. Never allow more than one person on the treadmill at once.
22. Warm up 5 to 10 minutes before each workout and cool down 5 to 10 minutes afterward. This allows your heart rate
to gradually increase and decrease and will help prevent straining muscles.
23. Never hold your breath while exercising. Breathing should remain at a normal rate in conjunction with the level of
exercise being performed.
24. Start your program slowly and very gradually increase your speed and distance.
25. Always wear suitable clothing and footwear while exercising. Do not wear loose fitting clothing that could become
entangled with the moving parts of your treadmill. Do not walk or jog barefoot, in stocking feet or loose fitting shoes

IMPORTANT
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN TREADBELT
If treadbelt is over-tightened, edges of treadbelt will
begin to curl.
CAUTION!! DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO
WALK ON TREADBELT WHILE YOU ARE
ADJUSTING. 1 /4 T U R N
Note: Always unplug your treadmill prior to cleaning in order to avoid electrical
hazard or shock.
1. Cleaning metal surfaces may be accomplished by using a soft cotton or terry cloth rag with a light
application of car wax. Do not use aerosol sprays or pump bottles as they may deposit wax upon the
walking or computer surface.
2. Under no circumstances are you to use ammonia, oils, silicones, or any other compounds on the
rubberized walking surface. The use of such materials may cause serious injury to the body and/or
deteriorate the performance of the walking surface. Only clean the rubberized walking surface with a
damp cloth (water only).
3. From time-to-time the computer surface may collect dust or finger prints. The use of harsh chemicals
will destroy the protective coating and cause a static build up that will damage the components. This
surface may be cleaned with specially prepared chemicals found in most computer supply stores
especially made for anti-static surfaces. It is strongly recommended that you purchase such a cleaning
compound.
If your treadmill looses power or will not start, check the reset switch located on the front of the motor
cover.
If the white tab of the reset switch is not showing then the reset switch has not been tripped.
If the white tab of the reset switch is showing, the reset switch has tripped.
To reset the reset switch:
Remove the safety clip on console.
Press white tab of the reset switch in until it snaps back into place.
If the reset switch continues to trip - see treadbelt adjustment and treadbelt lubrication
If the monitor does not display speed or distance the speed sensor and magnet may be misaligned.
Note: Always unplug your treadmill prior to cleaning in order to avoid electrical
hazard or shock.

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.
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, the training
threshold should be raised. Working through your program and gradually increasing the overload
factor is important.
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 to the central circulation,
pooling of blood may occur in the muscles.
Heart Rate
As you exercise, the rate at which your heart beat 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, your heart,
like other muscles, loses some of its efficiency. Some of its natural loss is won back as fitness improves.

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.

Don’t push yourself too hard to reach the figures on this table. It can be very uncomfortable if you
overdo it. Let it happen naturally as you work through your program. Remember, the target is a guide,
not a rule, a little above or below is just fine.
Two final comments:(1) don’t be concerned with day to day variations in your pulse rate, being under
pressure or not enough sleep can affect it;(2) your pulse rate is a guide, don’t become a slave to 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”.
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.

CUSTOMER SERVICE 1-866-978-1999 29 FLAMAN SALES LTD. ©2008
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.
