Product Description / Operation The Curve LTG is a non-motorized treadmill where the belt is controlled by the users stride and cadence on a innovated belt curvature that reduces joint, muscle, and tendon wear. The treadmill speed is controlled by changing position on the running surface; moving to the front increased the speed, while moving to the rear decreases the speed.
It is imperative that all users familiarize themselves with the treadmill and its features. • The Curve LTG belt moves freely, by stepping on the rear-most part of the running surface where it is rounded, there is a danger of falling, as the force of gravity can set the running surface in motion.
For optimal use and safety during treadmill training, WOODWAY recommends running on the treadmill in an upright and natural running position and to avoid dragging foot movement.
7.3.4 Training Frequency At the beginning of training allow yourself enough time to get into shape. After a break from training, you should also allow sufficient time to rebuild physical condition. 7.3.5 Endurance Training The priority is regularity and persistence of training - not intensity. Fitness experts recom- mend in the beginning training 3 - 4 times per week within your target heart rate for at least 20 minutes per workout.
Use the chart below to determine your heart rate range: 7.3.8 Heart Rate Monitors The display was designed so that the user’s Heart Rate is indicated when compatible heart rate transmitters are paired Via Bluetooth. In order to display the user’s heart rate accurately on the screen, the built-in receiver display must receive a stable heart rate signal from the transmitter.
