TRAINING WITH HEART RATE

Hand sensors

This VirtuFit fitness machine is equipped with hand sensors for measuring heart rate. The hand sensors are attached to the handle and only work if both sensors are held for a longer period of time. For optimal performance, it is important that the hands are slightly moist and exert constant pressure on the sensors. Hands that are too dry or moist may cause abnormal readings.

NOTE! To avoid interference, never use the hand sensors with a wireless heart rate monitor.

Wireless heart rate receiver (5 kHz)

This VirtuFit fitness device is equipped with a wireless heart rate receiver. For the heart rate measurement with a wireless heart rate monitor, you use a heart rate monitor which works on a 5 kHz frequency. With a wireless heart rate monitor, it is important that the electrodes are slightly moist and the heart rate monitor fits well to your body. Refer to your heart rate monitor's user manual for proper instructions. Incorrect use of the heart rate monitor may result in abnormal readings.

NOTE!

• A wireless heart rate monitor is not included as standard. Contact your dealer to purchase a wireless heart rate monitor.
• To avoid interference, never use the wireless heart rate monitor in combination with the hand sensors.

WARNING!

If you have a pacemaker, we recommend that you consult your physician before using a wireless heart rate monitor
- In rooms with multiple heart rate monitors, it is recommended that you keep enough distance to avoid interference between different devices.
Always try to keep the wireless heart rate monitor within a range of 1 meter from the console for optimal reception.
- Always wear a wireless heart rate monitor directly on the body, under clothing.

Cleaning

General cleaning of the unit will extend its life. Keep the appliance clean by dusting it regularly. Regular maintenance will prolong the life of your appliance and prevent injuries! For more information, please visit https://www.virtufit.nl/service/faq/

CAUTION! Wear clean shoes to reduce the risk of soiling the machine. At least once a year, remove the cover to remove dust.

LUBRICATING THE TREADMILL

The treadmill is equipped with a pre-lubricated coating that requires little maintenance. Wear and tear of the treadmill plays an important role in the function and durability of the treadmill and should therefore

be lubricated periodically. We recommend that you check the treadmill regularly.

Recommended lubrication of the treadmill

The treadmill displays a message on the screen when 300km have been covered. This is an automated reminder from the system that the treadmill needs to be lubricated.

Instruction

• Lift the treadmill and clean it with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
• Apply a small amount of silicone oil under the treadmill. To do this, use a silicone spray bottle or drip two or three drops of silicone oil along the length of the belt. Do this on both sides of the treadmill.
• Turn on the treadmill and let it run for three minutes without standing on it. This ensures that the silicone oil is properly distributed on the belt and that excess oil is removed.
• Check the condition of the treadmill regularly and reapply silicone oil if necessary. Make sure that the belt is clean and dry before riding on it.

CAUTION! Regular maintenance will prolong the durability of the treadmill and prevent injury!

• Healthy heart rate zone: 50% -60% of maximum heart rate. It is suitable for most beginners. It is good for weight loss, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol.
  Temperature zone: 60% -70% of maximum heart rate. It is good for weight loss and burning more calories.
• Aerobic zone: 70% - 80% of maximum heart rate. It is good for the heart and lungs.
  Anaerobic threshold zone: 80% -90% of maximum heart rate. This is a very intense workout and is suitable for advanced trainers.
• Red Line Zone: 90% - 100% of maximum heart rate. This is a limited workout for users. Please do not use it for too long, as it may damage your health.

Body Fat Test

• Press PROG to start the FAT mode. Enter your gender, age, height and weight. Once you have done this, hold the sensor on your wrist for more than 8 seconds. You will then see the results displayed on the screen.
• A Body Mass Index (BMI) of between 20 and 25 is ideal. When the BMI is below 19, it means you are underweight. When BMI is between 26 and 29, it means you are underweight. When BMI is between 26 and 29, it means you are slightly overweight. When the BMI is 30 or more, it means you are overweight. This data is provided as a guide and should not be used for medical purposes.

TRAINING GUIDELINES (FIG. C, 1-5)

A successful training program includes a warm-up, the actual training and a cool-down. Perform the complete training program at least twice, but preferably three times a week and keep a rest day between training sessions. After a few months, the intensity of the training can be increased, for example to four or five times a week.

The warm-up

The purpose of a warm-up is to prepare the body for training and to reduce the risk of injury. Warm up your body for two to five minutes before starting a cardio or strength training session. Do exercises that increase the heart rate and warm up the working muscles. Examples of this type of activity are running, jogging, jumping jacks, skipping and running in place.

Stretching

Stretching while the muscles are warm is very important after a good warm-up and cool-down. It reduces the risk of injury. Stretching exercises should be held for 15-30 seconds. Here are some examples of stretching exercises:

• Toe touch (Fig. C-1)
• Inner thight stretch (Fig. C-2)
• Hamstring stretch (Fig. C-3)
• Achilles stretch (Fig. C-4)
• Side stretch (Fig. B-5)

Cooling down

The purpose of the cool-down is to return the body to its (near) normal resting position at the end of the workout. A good cool-down slowly reduces your heart rate and promotes recovery.
