Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the CYBEX 400T
programmed treadmill. The 400T combines the latest treadmill

the 400T provide real-time feedback on the status of your program
and your level of exertion. You always know how you are doing at

Treadmill Exercise and Fitness
Exercise on a CYBEX treadmill is one of the best ways to improve
your health, your physical fitness, and your well-being. It is
recommended by many of today’s leading physicians, fitness
spokespersons, and authorities. A combined program of regular
physical exercise, sufficient rest, and sound nutrition is the best
way to improve your health, increase your resistance to disease,
and expand your physical capacity and mental alertness.
The CYBEX treadmill not only helps you improve your health, but it
is also your key to physical fitness. As the American College of
Sports Medicine (ACSM) has pointed out in a recent position
statement, there is a distinction between an individual’s overall
health and physical fitness. If you exercise only to improve
health
,
you can “reduce the risk of certain chronic degenerative diseases”
but you won’t improve your endurance or your ability to perform
activities throughout your life. Whereas,
fitness
is “the ability to
perform moderate to vigorous levels of physical activity without
undue fatigue and the capability of maintaining such ability
throughout life.”
Total physical fitness means something different for each person’s
body. Each time you exercise, you have to be receptive to the
level of exercise your body can handle. The ACSM recommends
that an individual perform some aerobic activity 3 to 5 days per
week to sustain the heart rate at 60% to 90% of its maximum
capacity. This recommendation covers a wide range of activities
and you may find it difficult to determine just how much and how
hard you should exercise. Your CYBEX 400T treadmill contains a
unique self-evaluation program that helps you determine your level
of cardiovascular fitness. You use the self-evaluation program not
only to determine where to begin your exercise program but also
to help you evaluate your progress.
If you improve your
health
,
you reduce the risk of certain
chronic degenerative diseases.
If you improve your
fitness
, you can
perform moderate to
vigorous activity
without undue fatigue.
