To troubleshoot if the speed, kilojoules, or fitness grade calculations are not accurate on the Kettler Condor GT hometrainer, you can follow these steps: 1. Speed Calculation: - For exercise machines like Racer and Crossbike, 60 pedal rotations should result in a speed of 21.3 km/h. - For Cross Trainers, 60 pedal rotations should result in a speed of 9.5 km/h. - If the speed calculation is not accurate, check if the pedal rotations are being counted correctly. Ensure that the pedals are moving smoothly and there are no obstructions. 2. Kilojoules Calculation: - The calculation is based on the medium load level and varies with the pedal frequency. - If the kilojoules calculation is not accurate, check if the pedal frequency is being measured correctly. Make sure that the sensors or mechanisms responsible for measuring the pedal frequency are functioning properly. 3. Fitness Grade Calculation: - The fitness grade is calculated based on the difference between the load pulse and recovery pulse. - If the fitness grade calculation is not accurate, check if the load pulse and recovery pulse are being measured correctly. Ensure that the pulse sensors are in contact with your body and there are no disturbances or interruptions in the pulse measurement. If the troubleshooting steps mentioned above do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to refer to the manual or contact Kettler customer support for further assistance.
If the average values for speed, pedal rotations, or pulse are not displaying correctly on the Kettler Condor GT hometrainer, you can try the following steps: 1.

Before beginning exercising on the Kettler Condor GT hometrainer, it is important to follow these exercise instructions and safety precautions: 1. Exercise Intensity: - Plan your exercise intensity based on your pulse frequency. A general rule is to determine your endurance exercises with a pulse frequency of 180 minus your age. For example, if you are 50 years old, aim for a pulse frequency of 130 during your exercises. - Set the pedal frequency and resistance to reach your optimal pulse frequency according to the above rule. - Control your exercise intensity based on your pulse frequency to avoid overstraining yourself and overloading your body. 2. Exercise Duration and Frequency: - If you are a beginner, start with shorter exercise units and gradually increase the duration and frequency over time. - In the first 4 weeks, consider exercising daily for 10 minutes, 2-3 times a week for 20-30 minutes, or 1-2 times a week for 30-60 minutes. - Take an exercise-free day between two exercise units if you prefer exercising 3 times a week for 20-30 minutes. 3. Warm-up and Cool-down: - Before and after each exercise unit, spend 5 minutes on warm-up or cool-down exercises. - These exercises can include gentle stretching or light movements to prepare your body for exercise or to gradually reduce your heart rate after exercise. 4. Motion Sequence: - Ensure that the construction and state of the hometrainer are correct before exercising. - When getting on and off the hometrainer, use the proper pedal surfaces and grip bar positions. - Adjust the pedal surfaces to the optimal distance from the grip bar for comfortable and safe exercise. - Exercise with appropriate sports shoes and ensure the pedal surfaces are in good condition. - Hold on to the grips between the movable grip bars if you only want to exercise your lower body. - Maintain an equal and round movement while exercising. - Vary between forward and backward movements of the pedal surfaces to engage different leg and bottom muscles. 5. Lifestyle and Well-being: - Regular exercise on the hometrainer can increase your endurance, energy, and overall well-being. - Optimize the success of your exercises by adopting a health-conscious lifestyle, including a balanced and adequate diet. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any exercise program, especially if you have any pre-existing health conditions or concerns.
To calculate your speed, kilojoules, and fitness grade on the Kettler Condor GT hometrainer, follow these steps: 1. Speed Calculation: - For exercise machines like the Racer and Crossbike, 60 pedal rotations correspond to a speed of 21.3 km/h. - For Cross Trainers, 60 pedal rotations correspond to a speed of 9.5 km/h. 2. Kilojoules Calculation: - The calculation is based on the medium load level and varies with the pedal frequency. - In general, bicycling at 24 km/h for 1 hour consumes 1680 kJ, which is equivalent to 70 kilojoules per kilometer. - For Cross Training, exercising at 9.5 km/h for 1 hour consumes 3344 kJ, which is equivalent to 352 kilojoules per kilometer. 3. Fitness Grade Calculation: - The computer calculates and assesses your "fitness grade" based on the difference between your load pulse and recovery pulse. - The formula used is: Mark (F) = 6 - (10 x (P1 - P2))^2, where P1 is the load pulse and P2 is the recovery pulse. - The fitness grade ranges from 1 (very good) to 6 (insufficient). - To obtain an accurate fitness grade, exercise in your load area for at least 10 minutes before pressing the recovery pulse key. Please note that these calculations are specific to the Kettler Condor GT hometrainer and may vary for other models or brands.
