Troubleshooting & MaintenanceProcedures Your elliptical trainer is designed to be reliable and maintenance free. However, if you do experience problems with your elliptical, please reference the troubleshooting guide listed below. TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM: There is no display on the console. $©LUT_©IN: Check all power cord and wire connections (Check batteries E51 model only).
HEART RATE TROUBLESHOOTING YOU MAY EXPERIENCE AN ERRATIC READOUT UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: • Gripping the heart rate handlebars the heart rate handlebars. too tight. Try to maintain moderate pressure while holding onto • • • • Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding the heart rate grips while exercising, When you are breathing heavily during a workout, When your hands are constricted by wearing a ring, When your hands are dry or cold.
CommonProductQuestions ARE THE SOUNDS MY ELLIPTICAL TRAINER MAKES NORMAL? Our elliptical trainers 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 noises.
WHAT KIND OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED? We use sealed bearings throughout our ellipticals so lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the entire trainer and guide rails 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.
Conditioning Guidelines IMPORTANT Always consult your physician before beginning an exercise program. F] 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 faster 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.
MonitoringYourHeartRate 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. Try to maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the heart rate handlebars. It is recommended that you hold the handlebars only long enough to see your heart rate readout on the console.
HeartRateChart 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 working-out at a 'Target Heart Rate Zone' of between 60% and 75% of your maximum heart rate. See the chart below for convenient reference.
WarmUp& CoolDown THE IMPORTANCE OF WARM UP AND COOL DOWN WARM UP The first 2 to 5 minutes of a workout should be devoted to warming up. The warm-up will limber your muscles and prepare them for more strenuous exercise. Make sure that you warm-up on your Horizon Fitness product at a slow pace. COOL DOWN Never stop exercising suddenly[ A cool-down period allows your heart to readjust to the decreased demand. Make sure that your cool down period consists of a very slow pace to allow your heart rate to lower.
Developing AFitnessProgram STRETCH FIRST Before using your Horizon Fitness product, it is best to take a few minutes doing a few gentle stretching exercises. Stretching 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.
AchievingYourFitnessGoals An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your primary goal for exercising on your elliptical trainer 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.
KEEPING AN EXERCISE DIARY Photocopy the weekly and monthly log sheets on the following pages to make your personal exercise log book. As time goes by you'll be able to look back with pride at the work you've done. As your fitness improves, you can look back and see how far you've come. HOW HARD? How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your elliptical trainer to prepare for a 5K run, you will probably work out at a higher intensity than if your goal is general fitness.
