Heart Rate Monitoring The Executive Trainer treadmill comes standard with a wireless heart rate monitoring device and a contact heart rate crossbar (see AccuTrack Heart Rate Monitoring System) to give you feedback on how your body is affected by your workout. We will take a look at a few basic concepts of heart rate monitoring so you can better understand how it all works and how to maximize its use to allow you to reach the fitness level you desire.
Heart Rate Monitoring Why should I monitor exercise intensity? Your heart is the most important muscle in your body and, like all muscles, must be exercised regularly to remain strong and efficient. According to fitness experts, exercise is more effective when you work out in a specific heart rate range or zone. This is referred to as your Target Heart Rate Zone (THRZ) and is reflected by the number of beats per minute your heart pumps.
Heart Rate Monitors Heart rate monitors and motivation KEEP YOU SAFE Exercising too hard can put you at risk for injury. A heart rate monitor reminds you of the safe and effective heart rate intensity at which you should exercise and warns you when your workouts go too far. KEEP YOU IN YOUR ZONE If you want to reach your exercise goals, it’s important to stay in your THRZ during workouts. A heart rate monitor is your constant reminder of the intensity and quality of each workout session.
AccuTrack Contact Heart Rate Monitoring System™ The AccuTrack Contact Heart Rate Monitoring System™ can be used in place of the wireless chest strap to perform any of the following functions: • Monitor your Time in Zone • Control HRC programs • Help you maintain your Target Pulse 1. 2. 3. 4. Use the NEXT button to switch to any screen that shows Pulse (see above). Grab on to the pulse grips. As soon as you put your hands on the grips the pulse will flash.
Getting the Most Out of Your Workouts Should you walk or run? This depends on several things such as body weight, fitness goals, and what you like to do. Walking is the safest, most compatible form of exercise for most people. If you’re just starting out, are new to exercise, or participate in aerobic activities less than three times per week, we recommend that you walk. On the other hand, if you’re an experienced runner, stick with your program — use your treadmill the way you want.
Getting the Most Out of Your Workouts FREQUENCY OF EXERCISE Walkers: Runners: Walk 3-6 times a week; 20-60 minutes per day. Run 3-5 times a week; 20-60 minutes per day. DURATION OF EXERCISE Walkers: Runners: Walk every day. Run three to five times per week. DURING YOUR WORKOUT • Stay in the middle portion of the treadbelt. • Monitor your breathing.
Treadmill Maintenance DANGER: Lethal voltages and moving parts capable of causing serious injury are exposed when the drive housing cover is removed. Under no circumstances should the motor cover be removed except by a Landice factory-authorized technician. TRACKING The treadbelt is tracked by means of the two 9/16” hex head bolts at the back end of the treadmill.
Appendix A: Medrail Installation STEP 1 Insert the side rail into the upper rail clamp and tighten the bolt using a 1/2” socket. STEP 2 Fit the side rail to the bottom rail clamp. (Do not over-tighten.) STEP 3 Use a soft mallet to firmly set the rails inside the clamp. STEP 4 Use a 3/16” allen wrench to tighten the rail clamp bolts. (Return to Step 9 in Assembly Instructions).
