The model EC-5000 is a new high-tech stepping exerciser with a built-in computerized training system designed specifically to promote cardiovascular fitness and overall endurance, the keystone of good health. [. . . ] The exercise intensity can also be adjusted by stepping slower or faster depending on the changes of resistance. · You can adjust the training intensity in 9 exercise levels. The standard level is 5, and you can change the level in the range from 1 (easy) to 9 (hard). One level is equivalent to 6% increment or decrease, and max. 25% increment or decrease is possible against the standard level. · The exercise duration is initially set at 15 minutes, but you can set it in the range from 1 to 99 minutes. In this case, the shape of mountain will be extended or shrunk in accordance with the preset time, resulting in the change of one calibration of the time axis and no scrolling of the screen. · With this program, you can change the exercise level during your training, by operating the + and - buttons. You can do this when you can not follow the pedal speed. Automatic Training · In this program, the exercise intensity is set by your target pulse rate (beats per minute: bpm). Select your target pulse rate at a lower level as shown in the target zone according to your age. · If the target you select is difficult to achieve, reduce the target pulse rate by 10 bpm, and continue. · You can increase your target in 10 bpm units, referring to the target zone in the illustration on pages 18 and 19. · The exercise duration is initially set at 15 minutes, but you can change it in the range from 1 to 99 minutes. One calibration on the time axis on the graphic screen will remain at 15 seconds, and the screen will scroll when exceeding 15 minutes. · Exercise per training should be for at least 15 minute. If possible, a 20 to 30 minute exercise is even better. · If weight control (calorie expenditure) is the purpose of the exercise, set the target pulse rate lower so that you can easily exercise even while watching TV, but extend your exercise time longer, in this case exceeding 30 minutes.
