[List of channels]

AFTER TRAINING

[In the exercise results you will be able to see the performance but also save the training in SALTER CLOUD for later viewing (if previously identified)].

7.4 PROGRAMS:

Different types of workouts to choose from. Within each of them, you will have options quite similar to the "quick workout".

[List of training programs]

BY OBJECTIVES:

You should choose how to do the training taking into account the time, distance or calories to be expended. The training ends when the target parameter is reached. During the training a bar will be filled in indicating how much has been exceeded and how much is left of the target parameter.

-MOUNTAIN/INCLINATION/CARDIO/INTERVALS/STRENGTH/etc.:

Each one is characterized by specific incline graphs depending on the type of training to be performed. These vary over time depending on the difficulty.

7.5 PHYSICAL TEST:

Different programs to measure the physical condition of the athlete. There are two different tests for the machine. For safety reasons it will be mandatory to provide the heart rate from the handlebars or from a heart belt.

• - VO2 MAX TEST: Maintain between 65 and 75 revolutions per minute while the resistance will gradually increase. The longer you can hold out, the higher the score. For safety, heart rate must be measured at all times.
• - 12 MINUTE TEST: The goal is to burn as many calories as possible by increasing the resistance level and RPM (calculating calories based on these two parameters). The evaluation will be made on this measurement of Kcal, age and gender.

[If you go below 65 or above 75 RPM, a message will appear with a bar getting smaller. It is a countdown to decide that the exercise is not optimal and the test has to be finished].

[For safety, it is mandatory to send the heart rate to the machine through the handlebars or a heart belt (more recommended)].

7.6 HRC:

Different programs that take the maximum heart rate as a reference. Once the program has been selected, a screen appears on which you can customize the training parameters. In all of them, the speed is progressively adapted to reach the target heart rate.

FIT/AEROBIC/PERFORMANCE: Each one takes as a target a % of the maximum heart rate of the athlete depending on his weight and age. If the heart rate is below the target, the speed will be increased, while if it is above the target, the speed will be reduced to keep the heart rate slightly below the target. The incline can be increased or decreased.

CUSTOM: this program differs from the previous ones in that you can edit the target heart rate you want to set for training.

7.7 VIRTUAL" TRAINING:

A selection of interactive videos are available. Each will have unique distance and slope curves depending on the terrain of the site.

By pressing the illuminated "exercise" button, you will be able to see the profile of exercise inclines and the speeds at which you have run the previous minutes.

7.8 WATTS PROGRAM:

In this program, you will work for constant watts in a certain time. The machine will adapt the resistance dynamically to always achieve the same.

7.9 ADMINISTRATION-MODE

To access to the administration mode, you have to press the central part of the SALTER logo for 3 seconds and it will ask for an administrator password: "5598". There you will be able to configure the WiFi, see the software version of the machine and get information (log) to share with the technicians in case something is not working properly.

In the event that the system has a serious error, the machine will display the following screen:

In case you have activated the emergency switch, for safety reasons, any training or menu will be disabled:

8. CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for several years, or are severely overweight, you must slowly and increase your time on the item gradually: a few minutes per workout.

Initially, you may be able to exercise only for a few minutes in your target zone, however, your aerobic fitness will improve over the next six to eight weeks. Don't be discouraged if it takes longer. It's important to work at your own pace. Ultimately, you'll be able to exercise continuously for 30 minutes. The better your aerobic fitness, the harder you will have to work to stay in your target zone. Please remember these essentials:

• Have your doctor review your training and diet programs to advise you of a workout routine you should adopt.
• Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your doctor.
• Monitor your pulse frequently. Establish your target heart rate base on your age and condition.
• Set up your item a flat, even surface at least 3 feet from walls and furniture.

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 target zone. You can find your target zone in the table below. Target zones are listed for both unconditioned and conditioned persons according to age.

During the first few months of your exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low end of your target zone as you exercise. After a few months, your heart rate can be increased gradually until it is near the middle of your target zone as you exercise.

To measure your heart rate manually, stop exercising but continue moving your legs or walking around and place two fingers on your wrist. Take a six-second heartbeat count and multiply the results by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. (A six-second count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop exercising.) Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is at the proper level.

Target Heart Rate Zone Table:

WARM-UP AND COOL-DOWN

Warm-up: The purpose of warming up is to prepare your body for exercise and to minimize injuries. Warm up for two to five minutes before strength-training or aerobic exercising. Perform activities that raise your heart rate and warm the working muscles. Activities may include brisk walking, jogging, jumping jacks, jump rope, and running in place.

Stretching: Stretching while your muscles are warm after a proper warm-up and again after your strength or aerobic training session is very important. Muscles stretch more easily at these times because of their elevated temperature, which greatly reduces the risk of injury. Stretches should be held for 15 to 30 seconds. Do not bounce.

Suggested Stretching Exercises:

• Lower Body Stretch: Place feet shoulder-width apart and lean forward. Keep this position for 30 seconds using the body as a natural weight to stretch the backs of the legs. DO NOT BOUNCE! When the pull on the back of the legs lessen, try a lower position gradually.
• Bent Torso Pulls: While sitting on the floor, have legs apart one leg straight and one knee bent. Pull the chest down to touch the thigh on the leg that is bent and twist at the waist. Hold this position at least 10 seconds. Repeat 10 times on each side.
• Floor Stretch: While sitting on the floor, open the legs as wide as possible. Stretch the upper body toward the knee on the right leg by using your arms to pull your chest to your thighs. Hold this stretch 10 to 30 seconds. DO NOT BOUNCE! Do this stretch 10 times. Repeat the stretch with the left leg.
• Bent Over Leg Stretch: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and lean forward as illustrated. Using the arms, gently pull the upper body towards the right leg. Let the head hand down. DO NOT BOUNCE! Hold the position a minimum of 10 seconds. Repeat pulling the upper body to the left leg. Do this stretch several times slowly.

Cool-Down: The purpose of cooling down is to return the body to its normal, or near normal, resting state at the end of each exercise session. A proper cool-down lowers your heart rate and allows blood to return to the heart. Your cool-down should include the stretches listed above and should be completed after each strength-training session.

9. MAINTENANCE

• Dry and clean those areas exposed to perspiration. It is recommended to use towels in order to avoid the sweat falling to the equipment.
