BELT OFFSET TO THE RIGHT
This procedure is very important. Follow these
steps. In order to adjust the belt, set the unit in
motion at a speed of 4 km/h. If the belt has
moved to the right, turn screw (R) on the right-
hand side of the machine a 1⁄4 turn clockwise.
Note the position of the belt, if after one minute
the belt is not completely centred then repeat
the operation. If you see that the belt has moved
too far over to the left then turn the right screw
back slightly in an anticlockwise direction.
Figure 10.
As soon as you have adjusted the belt you can
begin exercising again.
BELT OFFSET TO THE LEFT
In the event that the belt has moved to the left,
turn screw (L) on the left-hand side of the
machine a 1⁄4 turn clockwise. Note the position
of the belt, if after one minute the belt is not
completely centred then repeat the operation. If
you see that the belt has moved too far over to
the right then turn the left screw back slightly in
an anticlockwise direction. Figure 10.
Important: Overtightening of the belt can lead to
a loss of speed on the machine and even
stretch the belt itself. Bear In mind that one turn
of the right screw (R) in a clockwise direction
has the same effect on the position of the belt
as one turn of the left screw (L) in an
anticlockwise direction. Consequently, in the
event of excessive belt movement you can use
either of the two screws in order to avoid
overtightening the belt.

FITNESS
Being fit means living life to the full. Modern
society suffers greatly from stress. City life is
basically sedentary. There are too many
calories and too much fat in our diet. All doctors
agree that regular exercise is a good way to
control our weight, make us fitter and help us to
relax.
ADVANTAGES OF EXERCISE
Regular exercise below a certain level for 15/20
minutes becomes aerobic. Aerobic exercise is
basically exercise that uses oxygen. Normally,
this is a continuous exercise without pauses. In
addition to sugars and fats, the body also needs
oxygen. Regular exercise improves the body's
ability to supply oxygen to all of the muscles and
at the same time improve lung function, the
heart's pumping capacity and better blood
circulation. In short, the energy produced during
exercise burns kilocalories (known as calories).
EXERCISE & WEIGHT CONTROL
The food we eat is transformed into, among
other things, energy (calories) for our body. If
we take in more calories than we burn then the
result is an increase in weight and vice versa, if
we burn more calories than we eat, we lose
weight. When resting the body burns around 70
calories per hour to keep our vital functions
active. The table shows approximate energy
use for an average person doing various
activities.

EXERCISE PROGRAM
Before starting any exercise program, bearing in
mind that exercise programs vary depending on
age and physical condition, it is advisable to
consult your doctor given that you will achieve
better results based on his/her advice or
suggestions. Regardless of whether your goal
is to become fitter, control your weight or for
physiotherapy, always remember that your
exercise should be gradual, planned, varied and
not too demanding. We recommend that you
should exercise 3 to 5 times per week.
Before beginning a session it is important to do
a warm-up for 2-3 minutes at low speed. This
will help protect your muscles and prepare your
cardiorespiratory system.
The next stage will last 15-20 minutes at a pulse
rate of between 65 to 75%, or between 75 to
85% for those already accustomed to exercise.
At a later stage, once we have become fitter, we
can divide this time between both levels but
always remembering that the pulse rate must
not exceed 85% (aerobic area) and never reach
the maximum heart rate limit that corresponds
to our age.
