Breathe in a regular and relaxed manner. Many exercisers do not
breathe enough, which reduces their exercise capacity and comfort.
You might want to try breathing deeper and more frequently to see
if it helps your exercise.
The TS1 can monitor your heart rate using either a chest strap or
the metal grips on the hand rails (called contact heart rate, or CHR,
pads). A chest strap transmits your heart rate to the TS1 via radio,
and the CHR pads connect to a special computer circuit to extract
your heart rate.
Although the TS1 functions fine without using the heart rate
monitoring feature, this kind of monitoring gives you valuable
feedback on your effort level. Chest strap monitoring also allows
you to use Heart Rate Control, the most advanced exercise control
system available.
You can use the exercise arms for mainly balance, or you can use
them for significant upper-body exercise. Any power you apply to
them will be accurately recorded by the TS1 console.
Use the balance bar.
Again, grasp the handles with
a relaxed grip.
Keep your hands free.
Use caution with this method,
as this requires good balance
and exercise form.
Many exercisers use all three
options during their workout.
