If you see that the belt has moved too
far over to the right then turn the left
screw back slightly in an anticlockwise
direction. Fig.8.
Important: Overtightening of the belt
can lead to a loss of speed on the
machine and even stretch the belt
itself. Bear In mind that one turn of the
right screw (R) in a clockwise direction
has the same effect on the position of
the belt as one turn of the left screw (L)
in an anticlockwise direction.
Consequently, in the event of
excessive belt movement you can use
either of the two screws in order to
avoid overtightening the belt.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.-
FITNESS.
Being fit means living life to the full.
Modern society suffers greatly from
stress. City life is basically sedentary.
There are too many calories and too
much fat in our diet. All doctors agree
that regular exercise is a good way to
control our weight, make us fitter and
help us to relax.
ADVANTAGES OF EXERCISE.-
Regular exercise below a certain level
for 15/20 minutes becomes aerobic.
Aerobic exercise is basically exercise
that uses oxygen. Normally, this is a
continuous exercise without pauses. In
addition to sugars and fats, the body
also needs oxygen. Regular exercise
improves the body’s ability to supply
oxygen to all of the muscles and at the
same time improve lung function, the
heart’s pumping capacity and better
blood circulation. In short, the energy
produced during exercise burns
kilocalories (known as calories).
EXERCISE & WEIGHT
CONTROL.-
The food we eat is transformed into,
among other things, energy (calories)
for our body. If we take in more calories
than we burn then the result is an
increase in weight and vice versa, if we
burn more calories than we eat, we lose
weight. When resting the body burns
around 70 calories per hour to keep our
vital functions active.
Before starting any exercise program,
bearing in mind that exercise programs
vary depending on age and physical
condition, it is advisable to consult your
doctor given that you will achieve better
results based on his/her advice or
suggestions. Regardless of whether your
goal is to become fitter, control your
weight or for physiotherapy, always
remember that your exercise should be
gradual, planned, varied and not too
demanding. We recommend that you
should exercise 3 to 5 times per week.
Before beginning a session it is
important to do a warm-up for 2-3
minutes at low speed. This will help
protect your muscles and prepare your
cardiorespiratory system.
The next stage will last 15-20 minutes
at a pulse rate of between 65 to 75%,
or between 75 to 85% for those already
accustomed to exercise.
At a later stage, once we have become
fitter, we can divide this time between
both levels but always remembering
that the pulse rate must not exceed
85% (aerobic area) and never reach
the maximum heart rate limit that
corresponds to our age.
We you have finished, it is important to
relax the muscles. This can be done by
walking at a low speed for 2-3 minutes
until the heart rate drops below the 65%
line.
