Heart rate monitoring Remote Heart Monitor Monitoring your Heart Rate is one of the best ways to control the intensity of your exercise. This feature is built into the TC5300/TC6000. The TC5300/TC6000 uses a Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter to send your Heart Rate signals to the console. The console displays your Heart Rate in “beats per minute’ in the lower-middle window of the display. The Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter is included. It is a Polar® model T34.
Heart rate monitoring Information About Heart Rate Calculations Your maximum heart rate generally declines with age from about 220 Beats Per Minute (BPM) in childhood to about 160 BPM at age 60. This fall in heart rate is fairly linear, decreasing by approximately one BPM per year. There is no strong evidence to suggest that training influences the decline in maximum heart rate. It should be remembered that individuals of the same age might have quite different maximum heart rates.
Getting Started Turning on the Power After you have completed all the steps in the Assembly Guide section of this manual and plugged the power cord into the receptacle on the base assembly of the unit and wall outlet, the TreadClimber® fitness machine can be turned on and calibrated for use. NOTE: B efore turning on the power, ensure that the wall outlet the TreadClimber® fitness machine is plugged into is a non-GFI protected circuit.
Getting started Calibration Procedure The TreadClimber® Models TC5300 and TC6000 must be calibrated before use.

dETERMINING YOUR FITNESS LEVEL These two quick tests should help you determine at what level you should start training: Test 1 1. S tart a TreadClimber® workout (belts and treadles engaged) at 0.5 MPH (0.8 KPH), using the easiest Workout Level Setting for your weight (see the Workout Level Settings section in this manual), and gradually increase your speed for the next 30 seconds until you reach 2 MPH (3.2 KPH). If 2 MPH (3.2 KPH) is beyond your personal maximum exertion level, that’s okay.
treadclimber® workout Assessment After finishing all endurance tests, add the totals of your perceived exertion for Tests 1 and 2 together and divide by two. If your score is: 8 - 10: use the BEGINNER LEVEL workouts in the TreadClimber® Workout section of this manual. 4 - 7: use the INTERMEDIATE LEVEL workouts in the TreadClimber® Workout section of this manual. 1 - 3: use the ADVANCED LEVEL workouts on in the TreadClimber® Workout section of this manual.

Treadmill workout Mode The Difference in the Treadles Each Bowflex® TreadClimber® treadle is a separate treadmill with its own belt and up and down motion, however, both treadles are driven by the same axle and motor. This assures that each belt travels at the same speed. Further, the treadles are interconnected, which provides a balanced relationship between the left and right sides during the workout to give the most cushioned effect to your joints.
Treadmill workout Mode Starting a Treadmill Workout 1. M ake sure you have locked the treadles, following the guidelines in the “Locking the Treadles” section in this manual. 2.

Questions & Answers Q. I often get headaches when I eat only 1000 calories a day. What should I do? A. Your headaches may be caused by going longer than three hours between meals or snacks. Try spacing your meals and snacks where there are fewer hours between them. Some people who are used to drinking regular coffee with caffeine notice headaches when they stop consuming coffee for several days. If this is the case with you, you might want to ease off the coffee more gradually. Q. I don’t like red meat.
Questions & Answers Q. I’m a 40-year-old woman with a teenage son and daughter. My husband and I both want to lose 10 pounds and the children would also like to lose some weight. Can I put the whole family on the program? Maintaining Your Lean Body A. It would be great if you could, but you cannot. The number of calories per day is the problem. Teenagers require significantly more calories each day than 1500, which is the highest level.
