 WORKOUT InSTRUCTIOnS
deTermining your fiTness level
RePeAT LAST WORKOUT:
The TC6000 comes with 11 different Courses, but many users will tend have a favorite one that they will repeat often.
With this in mind, we created the “Repeat Last Workout feature. This allows you to simply press the START key, and the
console will repeat your last workout including the Course, time, User Weight etc. All setting from the previous course
will be carried over.
Even if you wish to choose a different workout, the default settings for you Weight, Age, Time, etc are carried over from
your previous workout. So under most circumstances, you need only to press ENTER to accept the defaults. You will not
have to access the + / - keys to change these settings. This is all done to help you get into your workout faster.
This is even true for you “MINIMUM SPEED” and “MAXIMUM SPEED” settings, and these settings are kept track for
each Course you work out on. This is important because your appropriate minimum and maximum speeds may be quite
different depending on which program Course you choose.
Custom One and Custom Two Programs: Registering as a user allows you to create and recall these two custom
programs. Each registered user (up to five) will be able to store their own two Custom Programs.
STARTING A WORKOUT WHEN THERE IS ONLY ONE REGISTERED USER: If you are the only registered user, the Console
will display:
“HELLO (your name) PRESS START TO REPEAT LAST WORKOUT OR PRESS + / - TO SELECT NEW PROGRAM.
In the GRID area, you will see a display of the program Course from your last workout.
As the message says, pressing START will repeat your last workout. All of the settings including TIME, your WEIGHT, etc
will be kept the same. You can instead choose to press the ENTER key. This will repeat your previous Course as well, but
will still take you through the PROGRAM SETUP, so that you can adjust your workout TIME, WEIGHT etc.
STARTING A WORKOUT WHEN THERE IS TWO OR MORE REGISTERED USERS. This is similar to the instructions above,
the only difference is that there is one extra “Screen” to begin. When you turn on the Console, the display will show
“HELLO (name of last user of the TC6000)” If this is you, Press ENTER. If this is not you, press the + / - keys on the
console or on the Remote Operating Control to select your name, then press ENTER to accept.
Now that the Console “knows who it is talking to” it will proceed with the same steps as above…”HELLO (your name)
PRESS START TO REPEAT LAST WORKOUT OR PRESS + / - TO SELECT NEW PROGRAM.
determining your fitness level (Tc 5300 and Tc 6000 )
Endurance is an important way to determine your fitness level. Before you begin exercising on your Bowfle x®
TreadClimbe r® fitness machine, you will want to benchmark your current endurance level, based on how well you feel
after you take these quick tests on your TreadClimbe r® fitness machine. To do these tests, you’ll need to use your
TreadClimbe r® fitness machine in all exercise modes (TreadClimbe r® workout , treadmill and stair-stepper modes).
COnSULT YOUR PHYSICIAn BeFORe STARTInG AnY exeRCISe PROGRAM. Only your physician can determine the
exercise program that is appropriate for your particular age and condition. If you have not been exercising, are pregnant,
have a heart condition, or any physical limitation, failure to consult your physician before engaging in physical exercise,
such as using the Bowflex® TreadClimber® fitness machine, could result in serious injury or death. If while using
the Bowflex® TreadClimber® fitness machine you have any pain or tightness in your chest, an irregular heart beat,
shortness of breath, feel faint, light-headed or dizzy, have any pain or discomfort, STOP and consult your physician
immediately.
