Using the chart on page 38, determine your target heart rate. Your target heart rate should be set at a number that you will be able to exercise at throughout the majority of your workout. To adjust the target heart rate, press the plus (+) or minus (-) buttons.
MONITORING YOUR HEART RATE Feedback Your Horizon Fitness semi-recumbent bike offers two heart rate feedback options. You may choose to use the heart rate handlebars, or the chest transmitter for a hands free workout. Heart Rate Handlebar Place the palm of your hands directly on the heart rate handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate to register. When griping the handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure.
TARGET HEART RATE ZONE Your `Target Heart Rate Zone' is a percentage of your maximum heart rate.Target Zones will vary for each individual, depending on age, current level of conditioning, and personal fitness goals. The American Heart Association recommends workingout at a `Target Heart Rate Zone' of between 60% and 75% of your maximum heart rate. See the chart below for convenient reference.
TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR SEMI-RECUMBENT BIKE Your Horizon Fitness semi-recumbent bike is designed to be reliable and maintenance free. However, if you do experience problems with your semi-recumbent bike, please reference the troubleshooting guide listed below. PROBLEM: There is no display on the console. SOLUTION: Remove the console and verify that the console cable is attached properly, making sure that the cable is securely inserted into the console.
PROBLEM: Erratic or inconsistent Readout. SOLUTION: This is often caused by dry electrodes or a loose chest strap. Moisture on the rubber electrodes is required for proper operation. Try a more generous coating of water on the electrodes and tightening the chest strap. Chest your exercise environment for sources of interference such as high power lines, large motors, etc. You may experience an erratic readout under the following conditions: • Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight.
COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS ARE THE SOUNDS MY SEMI-RECUMBENT BIKE MAKES NORMAL? Our semi-recumbent bikes are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noise.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES Always consult your physician before beginning an exercise program. HOW OFTEN? The American Heart Association recommends that you exercise at least 3 to 4 days per week to maintain cardiovascular fitness. If you have other goals such as weight or fat loss, you will achieve your goal fster with more frequent exercise. Whether it's 3 days or 6 days, remember that your ultimate goal should be to make exercise a lifetime habit.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WHAT KIND OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED? W e use sealed bearings throughout our ellipticals so lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the trainer after each use. HOW DO I CLEAN MY HORIZON FITNESS ELLIPTICAL TRAINER? Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts.
EVERY MONTH • Inspect all assembly bolts and pedals on the machine for proper tightness. HOW HARD? How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your Horizon Fitness Elliptical Trainer to prepare for a 5K run, you will probably work out at a higher intensity than if your goal is general fitness. Regardless of your long term goals, always begin an exercise program at low intensity.
DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAM STRENTCH FIRST Before using your Horizon Fitness product, it is best to take a few minutes doing a few gentle stretching exercises. Stentching prior to exercise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise related injury. Ease into each of these stretches with a slow gentle motion. Do not stretch to the point of pain. Make sure not to bounce while doing these stretches.
ACHIEVING YOUR FINESS GOALS An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your primary goal for exercising on your Horizon Fitness semi-recumbent bike to lose weight? Improve muscle? Burn Stress? Prepare for the spring racing schedule? Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise program.
