INTRODUCTION

Research shows that those whojournal their fitness routines or workouts, on average, achieve greater success

than those who do not, Because your new treadmill is equipped with AFG'sexclusive proFILEr_ Performance

Tracker,you've taken an important step towards achieving your fitness goals, Congratulations!

proFILEr_is an innovative new software, integrated into your treadmifl console, that will allow you to track

your fitness progress over time, without the need for paper journals or logs, proFILETM allows you to easily

compare your current workout to your last, average or fifetime workout totals, With quick access to feedback

like duration of workout or calories burned during previous workouts, you'll be able to quickly and easily see

the progress you've made, Read further to learn about how proFILETM can help motivate you to enhance your

performance,

PULSEGRIPS

Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart

rate to register, It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register, Whengripping

the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly` Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keepa loose,

cupping hold. Youmay experiencean erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure

to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained. SeeMAINTENANCESECTION.

ALWAYSCONSULTYOURPHYSICIANBEFOREBEGINNINGANEXERCISEPROGRAM.

flOWOFTEN?(Frequencyof Workouts)

TheAmerican Heart Association recommends that you exercise at least 3 to 4 flays 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 flays or 6 days, remember that your ultimate goal should be to make

exercise a fifetime habit. Many people are successful staying with a fitness program if they set aside a specific

time of day to exercise. It doesn't matter whether it's in the morning before breakfast, during lunch hour or while

watching the evening news. What's more important is that it's a time that allows you to keep a schedule, and a

time whenyou won't be interrupted. Tobe successful with your fitness program, you have to make it a priority in

your fife. So decide on a time, pull out your day planner and pencil in your exercise times for the next month!

flOWLONG?(Durationof Workouts)

Foraerobic exercise benefits, it's recommended that you exercise from between 24 and 60 minutes per session.

But start slowly and gradually increase your exercise times. If you've been sedentary during the past year, it may

be a good idea to keepyour exercise times to as tittle as five minutes initially` Yourbody will need time to adjust

to the new activity` If your goal is weight loss, a longer exercise session at lower intensities has been found to

be most effective. A workout time of 48 minutes or more is recommended for best weight loss results.

NOWNARD?(Intensityof Workouts)

How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your treadmill 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` Aerobic exercise does not have to be painful

to be beneficial! There are two ways to measure your exercise intensity` The first is by monitoring your

heart rate using the grip pulse handlebars and the second is by evaluating your perceived exertion level

(this is simpler than it sounds!)

PERCEIVEDEXERTIONLEVEL

A simple way to gauge your exercise intensity is to evaluate your perceived exertion level. While exercising, ifyou

are too winded to maintain a conversation without gasping, you are working out too hard. A good rule of thumb

is to work to the point of exhilaration, not exhaustion. If you cannot catch your breath, it's time to slow down.

Always be aware of these warning signs of overexertion.

Whatis TarEetNeartRateZone?

TargetHeart Rate Zone tells you

the number of times per minute

your heart needs to beat to

achieve a desired workout effect.

It is represented as a percentage

of the maximum number of times

your heart can beat per minute.

TargetZone 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

TargetHeart Rate Zone of between

60% and 75% of your maximum

heart rate. A beginner will want to

workout in the 60% range while

a more experienced exerciser will

want to workout in the 70-75%

range. See chart for reference.

EXAMPLE:

Fora 42-year-old user: Find age along the bottom of the chart (round to 40), follow age column up to

the target zone bar. Results: 60% of maximum Heart Rate = 108 Beats Per Minute, 75% of maximum

Heart Rate = 135 Beat Per Minute.

STRETCHFIRST

Before using your product, it is best to take a few minutes to doa 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. Donot stretch to the point of pain. Make sure not to bounce while doing

these stretches.

1.STANDINGCALFMUSCLESTRETCH

Stand near a wall with the toes ofyour left foot about 18" from the wall, and

the right foot about 12" behind the other foot. Lean forward, pushing against

the waft with your palms. Keepyour heels flat and hold this position for a

count of 15 seconds. Make sure that you do not bounce while stretching.

Repeat on the other side.

2. STANDINGQUADRICEPSTRETCH

Using a wall to provide balance, grasp your left ankle

with your left hand and hold your foot against the back

of your thigh for 15 seconds. Repeat with your right

ankle and hand.

3.SITTINGHAMSTRING&LOWERBACKMUSCLESTRETCH

Sit on the floor with your legs together and straight out in front of you. Do

not lock your knees. Extend your fingers towards your toes and hold for a

count of 15 seconds. Make sure that you do not bounce while stretching. Sit

upright again. Repeat one time.

WARMUP

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 product at a

slow pace, The warm up should gradually bfing your heart rate into your Target Heart Rate Zone,

COOLDOWN

Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period of 3-5 minutes 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, After the cool-down, repeat the stretching exercises listed above to loosen and relax your

muscles,

An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals, Is your primary

goal for exercising to lose weight? Improve muscle? Reduce stress? Prepare for the spring racing schedule?

Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise program, Below are some

common exercisegoals:

• Weight Loss - lower intensity, longer duration workouts

• Improve BodyShape and Tone- interval workouts, alternate between high and low intensities

• Increased Energy Level - more frequent daily workouts

• Improved Sports Performance - high intensity workouts

• Improved Cardiovascular Endurance - moderate intensity, longer duration workouts

If possible try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms, and then put your goals in writing,

Themore specific you can be, the easier it will be to track your progress, If your goals are long term, divide

them up into monthly and weeklysegments. Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation

benefits, Short term goals are easier to achieve, Yourconsole provides you with several readouts that can

be used to record your progress, Youcan track Distance, Calories or Time,

KEEPINGANEXERCISEDIARY

Tomake your personal exercise log book, photocopy the weekly and monthly log sheets, which are located

on the following pages, oryou can print them off of your computer bygoing to:
