PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME

It is important that you place your Treadmill in a comfortable and inviting room. Your Treadmill is designed to use minimal floor space.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

To reap the most cardiovascular benefits from your workout, it is necessary to exercise within a recommended intensity. The two ways to monitor exercise intensity are Target Heart Rate and Perceived Exertion.

TARGET HEART RATE

Target Heart Rate is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target Heart Rate will vary for each individual, depending on age, current level of conditioning, and personal fitness goals. Exercise heart rate should range from 55% to 85% of your maximum heart rate. As a point of reference, we use the predicted maximum heart rate formula of (220 minus age) to determine your heart rate training zone. Please use the following chart to determine your predicted Target Heart Rate.

bar TARGET HEART RATE ZONES Beats Per Minute | Age | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 | 90 | 100 | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 85% | 178 | 170 | 161 | 153 | 144 | 136 | 127 | 119 | 110 | 102 | | 75% | 157 | 150 | 142 | 135 | 127 | 120 | 112 | 105 | 97 | 90 | | 65% | 136 | 130 | 123 | 117 | 110 | 104 | 97 | 91 | 84 | 78 | | 55% | 115 | 110 | 104 | 99 | 93 | 88 | 82 | 77 | 71 | 66 | Percentage of Maximum Heart Rate | | AGE | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 | 90 | 100 |

EXAMPLE:

If you are a 30-year-old, your predicted maximum heart rate is 190 based on the (220 minus age) formula.

$$ 2 2 0 - 3 0 = 1 9 0 $$

Based on the chart above, your heart rate training zone is 104 to 161, which is 55%–85% of 190.

RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION

Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is one of the easiest ways to monitor exercise intensity. By becoming familiar with the RPE scale, you can continually assess your level of intensity and insure a level of exertion that is comfortable. An increase in exercise intensity is directly related to elevation in exercise heart rate. Consequently RPE can be used alone or together with heart rate when monitoring exercise intensity.

RPE SCALE

0 Nothing at all
.5 Very, very weak
1 Very weak
2 Weak
3 Moderate
4 Somewhat strong
5 Strong
6
7 Very strong
8
9
10 Very, very, strong
Maximal

The recommended RPE range for most people is between 3 (moderate) and 5 (strong). The RPE should be independent of your pace; it is dependent on the feelings caused by the exertion.

USER ENGINEERING MODE

Your treadmill offers a User Engineering Mode that can access certain data and help to troubleshoot your treadmill. User Engineering Mode is designed for you to access functions that will not affect important treadmill settings. To access this mode please hold down SPEED DOWN and ENTER for 5 seconds while the treadmill is in any state of setting up a program. The units screen will appear when entering user engineering.

In order to save the modified value, press and hold ENTER. Note that changing units does affect the stored value of weight and clears any stored user programs. Changing units may also require you to perform auto-calibration.

MAX TIME

P7 represents the maximum time, which is displayed in the upper middle window. This is the maximum amount of time the Treadmill will display. You can modify this time by using the SPEED or ELEVATION arrows. Press and hold ENTER to save the new value.

DEFAULT WEIGHT

P8 represents default weight. Weight appears in the lower middle window. To modify weight, press the SPEED or ELEVATION arrows. To save the new default weight, press and hold ENTER prior to exiting. If Units type (MI or KM) is modified immediately prior, weight defaults to 150 lbs. or 68 kg.

ACCUMULATED TIME

P9 represents accumulated time, in hours. To exit, press STOP. This information cannot be modified.

ACCUMULATED DISTANCE

P10 represents accumulated distance, in either miles or kilometers. To exit, press STOP. This information cannot be modified.

PAUSE TIME

P14 represents the pause time. The default pause time is five minutes. You can modify the pause time from 20 seconds to 10 minutes. You can modify this time by using the SPEED or ELEVATION arrows. Press and hold ENTER to save the new value.

DEFAULT TIME

P15 represents the program default time, which is displayed in the upper middle window. Most programs have a default time of 30 minutes. You can modify this time by using the SPEED or ELEVATION arrows. Press and hold ENTER to save the new value.

AUTO-CALIBRATION

DO NOT STAND ON THE BELT WHEN PERFORMING THE AUTO-CALIBRATION!

Auto-calibration is not represented by a Px designation. "AUTO" appears in the center window. When you enter the function, "Auto" begins flashing. To begin auto-calibration, press START. The Treadmill will run through minimum and maximum speed and maximum incline; this will take three to five minutes. Let the treadmill perform this complete function before exiting the Engineering Mode.

Elevation A/D or Elevation in % appears in the left window. PWM value or Speed appears in the right window. "END" will appear in the center window when the auto-calibration is complete. When auto-calibration is complete, the treadmill will return to the start-up screen.

EXIT USER ENGINEERING MODE

P17 represents exit mode. When you press ENTER to select the function, the console performs a reboot, returning to the start-up screen.

COMMON TREADMILL QUESTIONS

Q: Are the sounds my Treadmill makes normal?

A: All Treadmills make a certain type of thumping noise due to the belt riding over the rollers. This noise will diminish over time, although it might not totally go away. With use, the belt will stretch, causing the belt to ride more smoothly over the rollers. It might appear that one Treadmill is louder than another. There are many reasons for this and may not be due to a defect.

Q: Why is the Treadmill I had delivered louder than the one at the store?

A: All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background noise than in your home. This is due to many acoustic differences. A number of precautions can be taken to reduce noise. For instance, a heavy rubber mat can help reduce reverberation through the floor. And finally, if a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.

Q: When should I be worried about a noise?

A: As long as the sounds your Treadmill makes are no louder than a normal conversational tone of voice, it is considered normal noise. If your Treadmill is louder than this, you may want to call your service technician. Sometimes an initial diagnosis can be made over the phone.

TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR TREADMILL

Our Treadmills are designed to be reliable and easy to use. If, however, you have a problem, these troubleshooting steps may indicate the cause.

PROBLEM: The console does not light up.

SOLUTION: Check to make sure the Treadmill is connected to a functioning outlet and that the Treadmill is turned on.

PROBLEM: The Treadmill's built-in circuit breaker trips repeatedly, shutting off for no apparent reason.

SOLUTION: The lubricating wax coating on the deck is wearing down and needs to be replenished; contact your VISION FITNESS retailer.

PROBLEM: The Treadmill shuts off when elevated.

SOLUTION: Check to make sure that the power cord is not stretched so tight that when the Treadmill is elevated the cord is pulled out of the wall outlet.

PROBLEM: The running belt does not stay in the center of the Treadmill when you are running on it.

SOLUTION: Check to make sure the Treadmill is level.

SOLUTION: The running belt is loose and needs to be properly tensioned (see Page 29 for proper procedure).

PROBLEM: The belt moves within 1/4" of - but does not touch - the side rail.

SOLUTION: There is nothing wrong, this is normal and will not cause any damage.

PROBLEM: An error message appears. An error message is designated by the letter "E" and a number, (ex. "E5").

SOLUTION: Contact your VISION FITNESS retailer.

NOTE: If the above steps do not remedy the problem, discontinue use, turn the power off and contact your VISION FITNESS retailer.

TENSIONING THE BELT

If the running belt slips when used, use the supplied 8mm Allen wrench to turn the left and right tension bolts clockwise 1/4-turn at a time until the belt no longer slips.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Following are several tips on taking care of your VISION FITNESS Treadmill. The location of your Treadmill is important in maintaining it properly. Find a location that does not accumulate dust and dirt easily. A clean environment can help to prolong the life and improve the performance of your Treadmill.

CLEANING TREADMILL

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, be sure to turn off and unplug the Treadmill.

  • After each use, wipe the perspiration off the console and treadmill surfaces.
  • Every week, clean the Treadmill surfaces including the console, motor cover and side rails using a damp cloth. Do not use solvents as they may cause damage to the Treadmill.
    • Each week vacuum around and under the Treadmill.

QUARTERLY INSPECTION

  • Every three months, check the tightness of the assembly bolts to assure they are properly tightened.
  • Every three months, check the power cord.

DECK WAXING

VISION FITNESS treadmills feature a wax lubricated phenolic deck, which may never require any maintenance. However, the deck is a wearable component and, under heavier use, or in some environments, the wax lubricant can wear out. To maximize treadmill life, the decks can easily have wax reapplied.

No waxing is required for the first year of use. After one year, it is recommended to wax the deck once every six months. This will enhance the performance and life of the Treadmill. Weight can have an affect on how the wax wears on the deck. A heavier user (Example: 250 pounds and above) may need to wax more frequently. Also, running wears out wax faster than walking. Ask your VISION FITNESS retailer for information about treadmill maintenance.

DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAM

By purchasing this piece of VISION FITNESS exercise equipment, you have made a commitment to exercise and now have the convenience of exercising in your own home. Your new equipment offers the flexibility to exercise at whatever time suits you best. It will be easier to maintain a consistent exercise program that will help you achieve your fitness goals.

ACHIEVING YOUR FITNESS GOALS

An important step in developing a long-term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your primary goal to lose weight? Improve muscle tone? Relieve stress? Prepare for the spring racing schedule? Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise program. If possible, try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms over specific periods of time. Examples of these goals might include:

- Decrease your waistline by two inches over the next two months.

- Run the local 5K race this summer.

- Lose 10 pounds in the next three months.

- Get 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise at least five days per week.

- Improve your race time by two minutes over the next year.

- Move from walking a mile to jogging a mile within the next three months. The more specific the goal, the easier it will be to track your progress. If your goals are long-term, divide them into monthly and weekly segments. Long-term goals can lose some of the motivational benefits. Short-term goals are easier to achieve and will allow you to see the progress you are making. Every time you reach a goal, it is important to set a new goal. This will lead to a healthier lifestyle and will provide the motivation that you will need to move forward.

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS

Now that you have set your exercise goals, it is time to write them down and make an exercise schedule that will help you achieve them. By keeping a fitness diary, you will stay motivated and know where you are in terms of reaching your goals. As time goes on, you will be able to look back with pride to see how far you've come. See the end of this section for weekly and annual exercise logs. Copy these logs to keep your own fitness diary.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARM-UP

A warm-up activity should be a progressive aerobic activity that utilizes the muscles you will be using during the workout. There is no set warm-up intensity. A typical warm-up will produce a small amount of perspiration, but not leave you feeling fatigued. Intensity and fitness level will affect the duration of your warm-up, but 5-10 minutes is usually recommended.

EXERCISE DURATION

A common question asked is, "how much exercise do I need?" We recommend following the guidelines set up by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) for healthy aerobic activity.

• Exercise three to five days per week.
- Warm up for five to 10 minutes before aerobic activity.
- Maintain your exercise activity for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Gradually decrease the intensity of your workout, then stretch to cool down during the last five to 10 minutes.

If weight loss is a major goal, participate in your aerobic activity at least 30 minutes for five days each week.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

The next question asked is, "how hard do I need to workout?" To reap the most cardiovascular benefits from your workout, it is necessary to exercise within a recommended intensity range. We recommend using one of two methods to measure exercise intensity. These two methods are performed by monitoring your exercise heart rate or by using the Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE). Please see pages 22 and 23 for the Target Heart Rate Chart and RPE Scale.

BALANCED FITNESS

While cardiovascular exercise has been the primary method of fitness for many programs over the years, it should not be the only method. Strength Training and Flexibility Training have become more popular as exercise has developed. Incorporating Strength and Flexibility Training into your current exercise program will give you the balance you need to improve your athletic performance, reduce susceptibility to injury, increase metabolic rate, increase bone density, and reach your goals faster.

STRENGTH TRAINING

Strength Training was once known as an activity performed by young males only. That has changed with the advances in scientific research on Strength Training over the last 20 years or so. Research has proven that, after age 30, we begin to lose muscle mass if we do not incorporate Strength Training into our exercise program. With this decrease in muscle mass, our ability to burn calories decreases, our physical ability to do work decreases and our susceptibility to injuries increases. The good news is that, with a proper Strength Training program, we can maintain or even build muscle as we age. A proper Strength Training program will work the muscle groups of the upper and lower body. There are now many options available for Strength Training including: yoga, Pilates, selectorized machines, free weights, stability balls or medicine balls, exercise tubing and body weight exercises, just to name a few.

Recommendations for a minimum Strength Training program include:

FREQUENCY: Two to three days per week

VOLUME: One to three sets consisting of eight to 12 repetitions.

STRETCHING

Flexibility Training is not associated with fitness as often as cardiovascular exercise or Strength Training, even though it is just as important. A good stretching program will help to maintain flexibility of the hips and lower back. A flexible person will be less likely to injure themselves in common activities, such as reaching, twisting and turning, or in uncommon activities such as the annual softball tournament.

Before stretching, take a few minutes to warm up the muscles because stretching a cold muscle can cause injury. Start your stretch slowly, exhaling as you gently stretch the muscle. Try to hold each stretch 15 to 30 seconds. Don't bounce when you stretch. Holding a stretch offers less chance of injury. Don't strain or push a muscle too far. If it hurts, ease up. Here are a few stretches you can incorporate into your exercise program:

SEATED TOE TOUCH

Sit on the floor with your legs together and straight out in front of you. Do not lock your knees. Extend your fingers toward your toes, exhaling as you go. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds. Return to the start position, and repeat as necessary.

STANDING QUADRICEPS STRETCH

Using a wall to provide balance, grasp your left ankle with your left hand and hold to stretch. Your knee should be pointing toward the floor. Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds. Repeat with your right leg, and continue to alternate as necessary.

STANDING CALF STRETCH

Standing about three to four feet from the wall, take one step forward with your right foot. Place your hands on the wall in front of you. Bend your right leg slowly, using your movement to control the amount of stretch in the left calf. Your left heel should remain on the ground. Slowly bring yourself back to the starting position and switch legs. Repeat as necessary.
