The model EC-5000 is a new high-tech stepping exerciser with a built-in computerized training system designed specifically to promote cardiovascular fitness and overall endurance, the keystone of good health. [. . . ] Target pulse rate = (maximum heart rate ­ pulse rate at rest) Exercise Level (%) x + pulse rate at rest 100 Note The "Exercise level" mentioned above represents a different concept from the exercise level that you select when inputting the exercise conditions in the EC-5000. How many days a week for exercise Minimum two exercise days a week is required just to maintain your present fitness level. Always consult with your doctor before proceeding with any exercise program. Caution Concentrated and repeated exercise in a day may produce an adverse result. For a person who has built up enough physical strength The setting limit of the target pulse rate is (Upper pulse limit­10), but if you wish to exercise at a higher target, you can first modify the Upper pulse limit and then input the target pulse rate. The maximum settable Upper pulse limit is 199, so you can set the target pulse rate to 189 bpm at maximum. In case you raise the upper pulse limit beyond the automatic setting, be careful with your physical conditions while you exercise. 16 17 2 AUTO INTVL Operation FEATURES OF TRAINING PROGRAMS HILL Hill Profile Training · This program gives you a variety of training, just by selecting one of eight exercise patterns. Initially, try different hill profiles so you won't fatigue for the duration of your exercise program. The exercise intensity can also be adjusted by stepping slower or faster depending on the changes of resistance. The standard level is 5, and you can change the level in the range from 1 (easy) to 9 (hard). · The exercise duration is initially set at 15 minutes, but you can set it in the range from 1 to 99 minutes. In this case, the shape of mountain will be extended or shrunk in accordance with the preset time, resulting in the change of one calibration of the time axis and no scrolling of the screen. · With this program, you can change the exercise level during your training, by operating the + and - buttons. You can do this when you can not follow the pedal speed. Automatic Training · In this program, the exercise intensity is set by your target pulse rate (beats per minute: bpm). Select your target pulse rate at a lower level as shown in the target zone according to your age. · If the target you select is difficult to achieve, reduce the target pulse rate by 10 bpm, and continue. · You can increase your target in 10 bpm units, referring to the target zone in the illustration on pages 18 and 19. · The exercise duration is initially set at 15 minutes, but you can change it in the range from 1 to 99 minutes. One calibration on the time axis on the graphic screen will remain at 15 seconds, and the screen will scroll when exceeding 15 minutes. · If weight control (calorie expenditure) is the purpose of the exercise, set the target pulse rate lower so that you can easily exercise even while watching TV, but extend your exercise time longer, in this case exceeding 30 minutes. Setting Conditions for Hill Profile Training Exercise Pattern Age Limit Pulse Rate Exercise Level Weight Setting Conditions for Automatic Training Age Limit Pulse Rate Target Pulse Rate Weight Exercise Time Interval Training · In this program, select one of the 3 patterns that suits your needs. · This program is for the trained people with a long career of exercise. The standard level is 5, and you can change the level in the range from 1 (easy) to 9 (hard). · The pedal speed should be such that you have to step quickly while you are exercising, and step slowly while you are at a rest. · The exercise duration is initially set at 15 minutes, but you can change it in the range from 1 to 99 minutes. [. . . ] Insert the sensor plug securely into the sensor jack, and check the pulse sensor function according to page 11. If the sensor cable proves to be broken, replace the pulse sensor (part #7801300). Refer to page 7 to confirm the setting of the select switch at the back of the control unit. Input your age correctly to prevent the alarm from being unduly activated. Warranty service · Cat Eye Co. , Ltd. [. . . ]
