• S30
USE
Resistance is adjusted by turning the adjustment
ring located on the hydraulic cylinders (12
different resistance levels). The arrow on the
shock indicates the chosen resistance level.
Start with slow tempo, long step height and
low resistance. Gradually increase tempo and
resistance and shorten step height according
to your own condition. Keep your head up and
neck long in order to avoid stress on your neck,
shoulders and back. Keep also your back straight.
Make sure, that your feet are centered on the
foot pedals and that your hips, knees, ankles and
toes are facing forward. Keep your body weight
centered over your lower body regardless of
whether you lean forward or stand upright. By
shifting your weight forward or back you can
concentrate the workout toward different lower
body muscles. Stop your workout by gradually
decreasing tempo and resistance. Lengthen your
step height until your heart rate has returned to
normal. Don’t forget to stretch afterwards.
To strengthen cardiovascular system, maintain
low resistance, but high tempo. Exercising with
higher resistance and slow tempo strengthens
correspondingly your back and hips.

TELEMETRIC HEART RATE
MEASUREMENT
The S30 is fitted with an internal heart rate
receiver to make them compatible with Polar
telemetric heart rate transmitters. The transmitter
may be purchased as an accessory. Exercise
within different heart rate ranges affects the body
in different ways. For example, exercise of long
duration within a heart rate range that is about
50-60 % of the maximum heart rate burns fat,
or helps you lose weight, whereas exercise in
a range that is about 70-80 % of the maximum
develops the heart and respiratory system,
and overall endurance, i.e. it improves your
condition.
If you don’t know your own maximum heart rate
you can use the following formula as a guide:
208 – 0,7 X AGE
However, it is advisable to make sure by
consulting your doctor.
The most reliable heart rate measurement is
achieved with a telemetric device, in which the
electrodes of the transmitter fastened to the chest
transmit the pulses from the heart to the meter by
means of an electromagnetic field.
NOTE!
If you have a heart pacemaker, you may
use the heart rate measurement transmitter only
on a physician’s approval!
If you want to measure your heart rate this
way during your workout, moisten the grooved
electrodes on the transmitter belt with saliva or
water. Fasten the transmitter just below the chest
with the elastic belt, firmly enough so that the
electrodes remain in contact with the skin, but
not so tight that normal breathing is prevented.
The transmitter automatically transmits the heart
rate reading to the meter up to a distance of about
1 m. If you wear the transmitter and belt over a
light shirt, moisten the shirt slightly at the points
where the electrodes touch the shirt.
