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,
SETUP:Toactivate proFILETM a user MUSTbe chosen before the program begins, Toselect a USERJ or 2, use

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.

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:
