VII. EXERCISE GUIDE
Exercising is a great way to control your weight, improve your fitness and reduce the effects of aging and stress. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.Your heart and lungs’ condition and how efficient they are in delivering oxygen via your blood to your muscles are crucial factor to your fitness. Your muscles use oxygen to provide enough energy for daily activities; this is called aerobic activity. When you are fit, your heart will not have to work so hard and it will pump fewer times per minute, reducing the wear and tear on your heart.As a result, the fitter you are, the healthier and greater you will feel
WARM UP
Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and some light exercises. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise. Ease into your exercise.
TRAINING ZONE EXERCISE
After warming up, increase the intensity to your desired exercise program. Be sure to maintain your intensity for maximum performance. Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise.
COOL DOWN
Finish each workout with a light jog or walk for at least 1 minute. Then complete 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post- exercise problems.

IX. HAND PULSE TECHNOLOGY
This product comes equipped with hand pulse sensors which are used to pick up tiny EKG/ECG signals that run through the body when your heart beats. These electrical EKG/ECG signals are very small and must be amplified 1000 times to make the signal viable for the computer to display your pulse.
To ensure proper operation:
- The user must maintain good, consistent contact on all four
- The users skin cannot be too dry or too
Other factors that could affect the reading:
- Change of grip on the sensors (during slow pace walking and up to running).
- Tightening of hand muscles will produce small electrical
- Static electricity charges from the air or from walking on the
EKG/ECG Sensors may filter through actual EKG/ECG signals and “Noise” factors that may affect the reading. This will cause the pulse reading to be delayed and will take longer to update the display as the heart rate changes. Too much noise will create an incorrect reading. Medical conditions or having no electrical signal in the hands are other factors that may also affect pulse readings.These are limitations of hand pulse technology and even the most expensive systems (which can cost upwards of $3,000) used in hospitals have the same problems. The difference is that a patient in a hospital is not running on a treadmill. Hand pulse technologies work well on stationary exercise machines like bikes and even elliptical cross trainers but are not perfect on a treadmill. We offer treadmills with a wireless heart rate receiver which may be the more accurate option.To test if your hand pulse sensors are working up to specification, hold them while standing on the sidestep rails, not walking, and see if the reading is more in line with what you would expect. This will eliminate the movement and static electricity factors. If your hands are dry, then wet them slightly (saliva works as a great conductor if this doesn’t bother you).
