TARGET HEART RATE Target Heart Rate is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. The Target Rate will vary for each individual, depending on age, current level of conditioning, and personal fitness goals. Exercise heart rate should range from 50 - 90% of the predicted maximum heart rate for most healthy adults.
TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR FITNESS BIKE Our Bikes are designed to be reliable and easy to use. If, however, you have a problem, these troubleshooting steps may indicate the cause. PROBLEM: The Console does not light up. SOLUTION: 1) Pedal bike to light up console. SOLUTION: 2) Replace 9 Volt battery in back of console. PROBLEM: The Bike is making a clicking noise. SOLUTION: Using a 15MM wrench, remove both the right and left pedals.
TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR ELLIPTICAL TRAINER Our Elliptical Trainers are designed to be reliable and easy to use. If, however, you have a problem, these troubleshooting steps may indicate the cause. PROBLEM: The Elliptical Trainer appears to work but there is no resistance change. SOLUTION: The magnetic brake assembly is not working properly; please contact your retailer. PROBLEM: The Elliptical Trainer makes a squeaking or creaking noise. SOLUTION: Check and tighten all the bolts on the Elliptical Trainer.
COMMON QUESTIONS Q: Are the sounds my iNetTVTM Product makes normal? A: Our fitness equipment is some of the quietest available because we use belt drives and magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade European bearings and top quality belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear some slight mechanical noises from the drive train.
Q: What kind of routine maintenance is required? A: We use sealed bearings throughout, so lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off after each use. Q: Will the magnets wear out over time? A: No, we use permanent magnets that will retain their braking force indefinitely in this application. One of the big advantages of a magnetic brake is its long life, since there is no physical contact between the flywheel and the magnet surface.

DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAM WARM-UP When you exercise, you need more oxygen to fuel your muscles. This oxygen is carried to the muscles through blood. The increasing demands of exercise will cause increased breathing rate, heart rate, blood flow and blood temperature. As your blood temperature rises and more oxygen is released, the temperature of your muscles will increase. This allows the muscles to burn calories and create energy for exercise.
FLEXIBILITY Before stretching, take a few minutes to warm-up, as stretching a cold muscle can cause injury. When stretching, you should start slowly, exhaling as you gently stretch the muscle. Try to hold each stretch for at least 15 to 30 seconds. Don’t bounce when you stretch. Holding a stretch is more effective and less of a risk for injury. Don’t strain or push a muscle too far. If a stretch hurts, ease up. SEATED TOE TOUCH Sit on the floor with your legs together and straight out in front of you.
STANDING CALF STRETCH GENERAL Standing about 3 feet from a wall, take one step forward with your left foot. Place your hands on the wall in front of you. Slightly bend your elbows and point your shoulders, hips, and feet directly toward the wall. Bend your left leg slowly and use the movement to control the amount of stretch in the right calf. Your heels should stay on the ground. Slowly bring yourself back to the starting position and switch legs. Alternate for the number of desired repetitions.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES The American Council of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends the following exercise guidelines for healthy aerobic activity: Frequency: Exercise three to five days each week. Warm-up: Warm-up five to 10 minutes before aerobic activity. Duration: Maintain your exercise intensity for 20 to 60 minutes. Cool-Down: Gradually decrease the intensity of your workout, then stretch to cool down during the last five to 10 minutes.
EXERCISE INTENSITY To reap the most cardiovascular benefits from your workout, it is necessary to exercise within a recommended intensity. The three ways to monitor exercise intensity are Target Heart Rate, Perceived Exertion, and the Talk Test. TARGET HEART RATE Target Heart Rate is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target Rate will vary for each individual, depending on age, current level of conditioning, and personal fitness goals.
RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is one of the easiest ways to monitor exercise intensity. By becoming familiar with the RPE scale, you can continually assess your level of intensity and insure a level of exertion that is comfortable. An increase in exercise intensity is directly related to elevation in exercise heart rate. Consequently, RPE can be used alone or together with heart rate when monitoring exercise intensity. RPE SCALE GENERAL 0 Nothing at all .
ACHIEVING YOUR FITNESS GOALS An important step in developing a long-term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your primary goal for exercising on your VISION FITNESS Product to lose weight? Improve muscle tone? Relieve stress? Prepare for the spring racing schedule? Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise program.
