CAUTION:

ASSEMBLY
CAUTION!
There are several areas during the assembly process of a treadmill that special attention must be
paid. It is very important to follow the assembly instructions correctly and to make sure all parts are
firmly tightened. If the assembly instructions are not followed correctly, the treadmill could have
frame parts that are not tightened and will seem loose and may cause irritating noises. There should
be no side-to-side play in the console masts or any forward and back play in the console assembly or
handlebars. If there is any play in these areas, the treadmill has not been properly assembled. To pre-
vent damage to the treadmill, the assembly instructions must be reviewed and corrective actions
should be taken.
Before proceeding, find your treadmill’s serial number and model name located to the left of
the on/off power switch and power cord and enter
it in the space provided below:

CAUTION
!
An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your pri-
mary goal for exercising on your treadmill to lose weight? Improve muscle? Burn 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 exercise goals:
•
Weight Loss
•
Weight Maintenance
•
Improve Body Shape and Tone
•
Strengthen Leg Muscles
•
Increased Energy Level
•
Improved Sleep Patterns
•
Improved Sports Performance
•
Stress Reduction
•
Improved Cardiovascular Endurance
If possible try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms, and then put your goals in
writing. The more 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 weekly segments. Longer term goals can lose some of the
immediate motivation benefits. Short term goals are easier to achieve. Your treadmill console pro-
vides you with several readouts that can be used to record your progress. You can track Distance,
Calories or Time. Time is the most important and useful of test functions.
KEEPING AN EXERCISE DAIRY
Photocopy the weekly and monthly log sheets on the following pages to make your personal exercise
log book. As time goes by you’ll be able to look back with pride at the work you’ve done. As your fit-
ness improves, you can look back and see how far you’ve come.
