DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE

The console is designed to help you get the most from your workouts. As you exercise, you can watch your progress around the LED track, while the display provides continuous exercise feedback. The modes of the display are described below.

• Speed-This mode displays your pedaling speed, in miles per hour.
• Time-This mode displays the elapsed time.
  Note: If you stop exercising, the time mode will pause.
• Distance-This mode displays the total distance you have pedaled, in miles.
• Laps-This mode displays the number of 1/4-mile laps you have completed around the LED track.
• Calorie-This mode displays the approximate number of Calories you have burned.
• Scan-This mode displays the speed, time, distance, laps and calorie modes, for 5 seconds each, in a repeating cycle.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Before the console can be operated, two “AA” batteries must be installed (see assembly step 12 on page 8).

HOW TO OPERATE THE CONSOLE

If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove it.

1. To turn on the power, press the on/reset button or simply begin pedaling. When the power is turned on, one LED indicator will light in the LED track, and the entire display will appear for two seconds. The console will then be ready for operation.
2. Select one of the modes:
   • Scan mode: When the power is turned on, the scan mode will automatically be selected. One mode indicator will show that the scan mode is selected, and a flashing mode indicator will show which mode is currently displayed.
     Note: If a different mode is selected, you can select the scan mode again by repeatedly pressing the mode button. Speed, time, distance, laps or
   • calorie mode- To select one of these modes for continuous display, press the mode button repeatedly. The mode indicators will show which mode is selected. (Make sure that the scan mode is not selected.)

4. To reset the display, press the on/reset button.
5. To turn off the power, simply wait for about four minutes. The console has an Ò
6. “auto-off” feature. If the pedals are not moved and the console buttons are not pressed for four minutes, the power will turn off automatically in order to conserve the batteries.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Inspect and tighten all parts of the PROFORM¨ 965R regularly. The 965R can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. To prevent damage to the console, keep liquids away from it and keep the console out of direct sunlight. For best performance, the pedals must be kept properly tightened. Regularly tighten both pedals.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If the console does not function properly, the batteries should be replaced. To replace the batteries, refer to assembly step 12 on page 8.

CRANK ADJUSTMENT

If the arms of the Crank (29) become loose, they should be tightened in order to prevent excessive wear. Loosen the crank nut on the left arm of the Crank. Place the end of a standard screwdriver in one of the slots in the slotted bearing nut. Lightly tap the screwdriver with a hammer to turn the slotted bearing nut counterclockwise until the arms are no longer loose. Do not overtighten the slotted bearing nut. When the slotted bearing nut is properly tightened, tighten the crank nut.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results.

WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with preexisting health problems.

WHY EXERCISE?

Exercise has proven essential for good health and general well-being. Regular participation in a well-rounded exercise program results in a stronger and more efficient heart, improved respiratory function, increased stamina and endurance, better weight management and body fat control, increased ability to deal with stress, and greater self-esteem and confidence.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be maintained at a level between 70% and 85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise. This is known as your training zone. You can find your training zone in the table below. Training zones are listed according to age and physical condition. During the first few months of your exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low end of your training zone as you exercise. After a few months of regular exercise, your heart rate can be increased gradually until it is near the middle of your training zone as you exercise. To measure your heart rate, place two fingers on your wrist as shown. Stop exercising and take a six-second heartbeat count. Multiply the result by ten to find your heart rate. (A six-second count is used because your heart rate drops quickly when you stop exercising.) If your heart rate is too high, decrease the intensity of your exercise. If your heart rate is too low, increase the intensity of your exercise.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

A well-rounded workout includes the following three phases:

• A warm-up phase, lasting 5 to 10 minutes. Begin with slow, controlled stretches, and progress to more rhythmic stretches. This will increase the body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for strenuous exercise.
• A cardiovascular phase, including 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone. A cool-down phase, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Thorough stretching offsets muscle contractions and other problems caused when you stop exercising suddenly. Stretching for increased flexibility is often most effective during this phase. This phase should leave you relaxed and comfortably tired.
• To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, if desired. Find the best time of day for your workouts, and then stick with it. Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, plan three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, if desired. Caution: Be sure to progress at your own pace and avoid overdoing it. Incorrect or excessive training may result in injury to your health. Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch-never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch
   Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees, and back.
2. Hamstring Stretch
   Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back, and groin.
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch
   With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward, and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the Achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons, and ankles.
4. Quadriceps Stretch
   With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
5. Inner Thigh Stretch
   Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
