CLIMBING THE CONDITIONING LADDER - SUGGESTED PROGRAMS
The programs outlined below were developed by the director of services at the Lutheran General Hospital in Illinois. They were developed to help maintain or improve ones level of fitness, depending on the current fitness level. Follow each of the 6 week programs as they move in progression. Once Program V is achieved, continue at this same level of intensity for continued programs, however, add variety by changing around workouts per week, duration or add interval training (high intensity mixed with low intensity 70% - 90%). To add variety to intensity make, use of the incline feature on the Star Trac PRO /PRO S Treadmill. This feature gives you an incline range from 0% to 15%.
Program I: Week 1,2 3,4 5,6 Program II: Week 1,2 3,4 5,6 Program III: Week 1,2 3,4 5,6 Program IV: Week 1,2 3,4 5,6 Program V: Week 1,2 3,4 5,6 Heart Rate (%) 80 to to to 85 Duration (minutes) 35 Workouts per Week 4 Heart Rate (%) 75 to to to 80 Duration (minutes) 30 Workouts per Week 4 Heart Rate (%) 70 to to to 75 Duration (minutes) 25 Workouts per Week 4 Heart Rate (%) 65 to to to 70 Duration (minutes) 20 Workouts per Week 3 Heart Rate (%) 60 to to to 65 Duration (minutes) 15 Workouts per Week 3
PROGRAM VARIATION ON THE PRO / PRO S TREADMILL
Everyone can benefit from using treadmills because walking, jogging, and running provide results. The Star Trac PRO S / PRO / PRO ELITE Treadmill gives you infinite workout possibilities. Here are some suggested programs for the deconditioned, average and athletic users. Deconditioned (beginning) Exercisers This group, which includes the overweight, cardiac rehabilitated and the senior population, requires more personal attention and one-on-one feedback for motivation rather than fancy programs built into the treadmill. Keeping everything simple is key. Before starting to exercise, becoming acquainted with basic treadmill features, including emergency stop button helps to make the exercise experience more fulfilling. The Quick Start program is a great place to start. The user, at all times has control of his/her workout, and all basic information feedback is provided. Another program recommended for this group is the Heart Training program. This program is great for learning how the heart rate responds to various levels of intensity. However, knowing ones target training range is necessary to operate this program. Starting speed for this group ranges from 2.0 to 3.0 mph. The incline shouldnt exceed 5% elevation unless instructed differently by a fitness professional. Progression of intensity and time is gradual (weekly) and frequency progress may not occur until after 4 weeks. Average Exercisers This group is classified by those who live somewhat active lifestyles (exercising about twice a week) or fit into the age category of 18-35. Confidence levels from this group are higher than the deconditioned group, therefore the willingness to try new or more advanced programs is greater. While most tend to enter immediately into a quick start, encouraging use of other programs may keep participation consistent and workouts more alive. The Forest Walk, Trailblazer or Alpine Pass offer great variations that make good use of incline, making a running or walking workout more interesting and challenging. The Heart Training program is a good way to monitor and challenge intensity ranges, which is great for achieving results in a cardiovascular endurance program. Starting speed for this group ranges from about 3.0 to 3.5 mph. Typically, exercisers in this category will not use elevation, however, it is strongly encouraged for varied intensity and variability. Exercisers in this category may not be comfortable exceeding 10% incline. Progression of intensity and time is gradual (weekly) and frequency progress may not occur until after 4 weeks.

WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

Vacuum the floor under and around the treadmill. Do so with the treadmill at its maximum elevation or moved to another spot. NOTE: Take care not to damage the power cord while vacuuming.
Inspect the inside surface of the running belt and the top surface of the running deck for unusual wear. Check the belt for a glazed condition (a smooth almost melted appearance). If the running belt appears glazed, replace the running belt and flip or replace the running deck. NOTE: Never install a new running belt on a used deck.
Inspect the display and handrail screws for security, and retighten if necessary. Inspect the display panel/keypad for wear.

BI-WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To prevent personal injury, always turn the treadmill off and unplug the power cord before performing maintenance inside the motor compartment.
Remove the motor shroud and vacuum around the motor and its ventilation holes. Avoid bumping or damaging parts normally protected by the shroud.

MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

Wipe the elevation screws down with a clean dry cloth and coat them with silicon lubricant spray to prevent rust accumulation.

ADJUSTMENTS

The running belt and its headroller, drive belt, tailroller, and running deck are designed to be self-centering, slip-free, and smoothoperating without the need for frequent adjustments. Running belt sideward movement, slipping, or grinding after extended use, or thumping during initial use, may be corrected by the following procedures: Change Sideward Movement to TRACKING: If the running belt is not centered on the tailroller and is either too far left or right, adjust tracking using the following steps: 1. Turn the treadmill on. Increase treadmill speed to 3.0 mph (5.0 kph). 2. Adjust tracking by adjusting the tailroller Allen screws (located at the back sides of the tailroller) with a 1/4" Allen wrench in 1/4-turn increments. If the running belt is tracking to the left, adjust the running belt to track to the right. Tighten the left tailroller Allen screw by turning clockwise, or loosen the right tailroller bolt by turning counter-clockwise. If the running belt is tracking to the right, adjust the running belt to track to the left. Tighten the right tailroller Allen screw by turning clockwise or loosen the left tailroller bolt by turning counter-clockwise. 3. After the running belt appears to be tracking properly, increase the treadmill speed to 10.0 mph (16.0 kph) and verify that the belt stays centered. Slipping-Running Belt: Remove the motor shroud and operate the treadmill slowly at 1 to 2 mph (2 to 3 kph). While observing the headroller, walk on the belt and try to slow it down by gently applying pressure with your feet while holding the handrails. If only the running belt, and not the headroller, slows down, tighten the running belt by turning both the right and left tailroller adjustment bolts clockwise 1/4-turn. Repeat this adjustment until the running belt no longer slips, ensuring that you turn both tailroller bolts an equal number of turns. Re-install the motor shroud. If the headroller and the running belt both slow down, tighten the drive belt as described under Slipping-Drive Belt, below. Slipping-Driver Belt: Adjust the treadmill incline to 5% to provide clearance underneath. Set the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and unplug the treadmill. Remove the motor shroud. With a 1/2" socket wrench, loosen the four motor bolts. Use the socket wrench to adjust the tension bolt in the middle of the motor bracket 1/4-turn clockwise, stretching the drive belt. Tighten the motor bolts and reinstall the motor shroud. Plug the treadmill in, turn it on, and test for slipping as described under Slipping-Running Belt, above. Repeat this step as necessary. Thumping: Turn the treadmill off. Turn the right and left tailroller adjustment bolts counter-clockwise with the 1/4" Allen wrench until the running belt is loose. Note the number of times each bolt is turned. Remove excess accumulated running deck wax from the tailroller with a credit card, a putty knife, or other flexible plastic implement.
