EXERCISE PROGRAM.-
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. This will prevent muscle pain,
especially after an intense session. It is
also advisable to finish the program with
some relaxation exercises on the floor.
FINAL NOTE
We hope that you enjoy your unit. You
will soon notice the benefits of your
controlled exercise program, you will
feel better, have more energy and
suffer less stress. You will see for
yourself that it is worth staying in
shape with BH.
INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE.
Switch the unit off and unplug the
mains cable.
Use a damp cloth or towel to clean the
dust off the treadmill, especially the
side bars and the electronic console.
Do not use solvents.
Use a vacuum cleaner to carefully
vacuum around the visible compo-nents
(belt, structure, etc.). You can also
vacuum the underside of the unit by
resting it on one of its sides. Similarly,
you can vacuum the inside of the motor
housing by removing the cover that
protects the motor (be careful with the
wires).

Periodically check that all of the
fastening elements are duly
tightened and connected correctly.
Check and tighten all the parts on
your unit every three months.
