Training Guide
The Training Guide coaches the user through the three core Workout Programs, and contains all the exercises available with the Bowex™ HVT™
machine. Each of the Workout Programs have been designed to take full advantage of the Bowex™ HVT™ machine.
The Training Guide presents each exercise with the specic stance, pulley, grip, and motion to engage the intended muscle group in a certain orien-
tation. Since each Workout Program has a specic focus, the order of exercises performed is important. Perform the exercises in the order recom-
mended by the Workout Program. Follow along with the Training Guide for the descriptions, hints and photographs of each exercise.
Place the Training Guide on the media shelf to be an easy reference during a workout. Use the Workout Program tabs to quickly locate the start of
the program. The order and color of the Exercise segments on the Console match the exercises in the Guide.
Note: If desired, a smart device with the Bowex™ HVT™ App can be used in place of the Training Guide. Refer to the “Bowex™ HVT™
Software App” section on how to use the Software App with your smart device.
Exercise on this machine requires coordination and balance. Be sure to anticipate that changes to resistance level can occur
during workouts, and be attentive in order to avoid loss of balance and possible injury. Grab onto the Static Handlebars to stabilize
yourself at any moment.

operate the Device and charge it at the same time.
Remote Heart Rate Monitor
Monitoring your Heart Rate is one of the best procedures to control the intensity of your exercise. The Console reads the telemetry HR signals from
the Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter that operates in the 4.5kHz - 5.5kHz range.
Note: The heart rate chest strap must be an uncoded heart rate strap from Polar Electro or an uncoded POLAR
®
compatible model. (Coded
Owner’s Manual

POLAR
®
heart rate straps such as POLAR
®
OwnCode
®
chest straps will not work with this equipment.)
If you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, consult your doctor before using a wireless chest strap or other
telemetric heart rate monitor.
Heart Rate Calculations
Your maximum heart rate usually decreases from 220 Beats Per Minute (BPM) in childhood to approximately 160 BPM by age 60. This fall in heart
rate is usually linear, decreasing by approximately one BPM for each year. There is no indication that training inuences the decrease in maximum
heart rate. Individuals of the same age could have different maximum heart rates. It is more accurate to nd this value by getting a stress test than by
using an age related formula.
Your at rest heart rate is inuenced by endurance training. The typical adult has an at rest heart rate of approximately 72 BPM, where as highly
trained runners may have readings of 40 BPM or lower.
The Heart Rate table is an estimate of what Heart Rate Zone (HRZ) is effective to burn fat and improve your cardiovascular system. Physical condi-
tions vary, therefore your individual HRZ could be several beats higher or lower than what is shown.
The most efcient procedure to burn fat during exercise is to start at a slow pace and gradually increase your intensity until your heart rate reaches
between 60 – 85% of your maximum heart rate. Continue at that pace, keeping your heart rate in that target zone for over 20 minutes. The longer
you maintain your target heart rate, the more fat your body will burn.

The graph is a brief guideline, describing the generally suggested target heart rates based on age. As noted above, your optimal target rate may be
higher or lower. Consult your physician for your individual target heart rate zone.
Note: As with all exercises and tness regimens, always use your best judgment when you increase your exercise time or intensity.

How Often Should You Exercise
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short
of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or measured by the
machine’s computer for reference purposes only. The heart rate displayed on the console is an approximation and should be used
for reference only.
It is highly recommended to warm up before any workout with the Bowex™ HVT™ machine.
• 3 times a week for about 20 minutes each day.
• Schedule workouts in advance and try to follow the schedule.
Note: If you are new to exercise (or returning to a regular exercise program), and you are unable to comfortably complete 20 minutes of con-
tinuous exercise at one time, select a few workouts and do them for 5 – 10 minutes. Gradually increase your workout time until you can
comfortably complete the total time for one of the Workout Programs.
Apparel
It is important to wear appropriate, safe and comfortable footwear and clothing when using the Bowex™ HVT™ machine, including:
• Rubber-soled athletic walking or running shoes.
• Exercise clothing that allows you to move freely, and keep comfortably cool.
• Athletic support that provides stability and comfort.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. This machine contains moving parts. Do not put fingers, feet, or other objects into moving
parts of the exercise equipment.
Always wear rubber soled athletic shoes when you use this machine. Do not use the machine with bare feet or only wearing socks.
Intensity of Workout
To increase the intensity of your workout:
• Add another Round to the workout by pushing the Add Time button.
• Increase the resistance level while keeping the number of repetitions constant.
Note: If Save Resistance is active, the Console will automatically adjust the resistance to the ending resistance level the last time that exercise
was done.
• Push yourself to increase the number of repetitions during the Work segment of each exercise.
An Interval Training workout involves adjusting your workout intensity for specic lengths of time to raise and lower your breathing rate, heart rate
and calorie burn. This form of workout allows you to burn more calories than a standard workout in a shorter period of time.
The Bowex™ HVT™ machine combines “Work” and “Rest” segments to create an Interval workout. During a “Work” segment, push yourself to a
level of high calorie burn and maximum repetitions. Then during the “Rest” segment, allow yourself to relax and prepare for the next “Work” segment.
These extreme changes in intensity, along with pushing your body, is where the maximum benets are gained from Interval Training workouts.
Interval Training workouts provide variety, maximize calorie burn and improve tness.

out, the adjusted Total Time of the workout is displayed for a few seconds, and then switches to the current workout time.
Owner’s Manual
45
Note: Because of the open-ended design of the MANUAL workout, the Add Time button is disabled.
Changing Resistance Levels
Turn the Resistance Dial to adjust the additional resistance applied to the fan at any time.
The Console is also equipped with a Save Resistance feature, which remembers the resistance level at the end of each exercise. When that exer-
cise occurs again, the Console automatically adjusts the resistance to the remembered resistance level. Save Resistance can be deactivated for
each User through the “Edit a User Prole” options. If the resistance level is manually adjusted during a workout, Save Resistance is deactivated for
that exercise segment.
Note: When starting a full body workout program, consider reducing the Resistance Level for upper body exercises.
The resistance settings supplied by the resistance fan can vary based on environmental and usage patterns and other factors. Supplied
resistance may degrade over time and after extensive usage.
Total Power score
The Total Power score is a unit-less point system that that dynamically represents a User’s performance on the Bowex™ HVT™ machine. The Total
Power score is made up of:
• SPEED – The speed at which you pull the cable.
• RESISTANCE – The amount of resistance applied to each exercise.
• RANGE OF MOTION – A combination of your body weight, body movement, and how far you pull the cable.
During a workout, a Total Power score is provided for each exercise. At the end of the workout, a Total Power score for the entire workout is also
displayed. The Total Power score may not change signicantly for a User that performs an entire workout at the same level of intensity. However,
if that same User were to increase resistance and/or speed for a given exercise, their score for that exercise as well as their overall score would
increase. Since the score is based on speed, resistance, and range of motion, even a small score increase shows a signicant shift in the User’s
tness level.
By tracking these three factors the Bowex™ HVT™ machine can provide instant and motivating feedback for Users as well as the ability to track
your improvement over time. As you increase your work rate and intensity, your Total Power score will also increase.
Note: For a more accurate score, be sure to enter your weight value for the user profile. A Total Power score should only be compared to
your previous scores and not to other User Profiles.
