Do you just apply the machine to your chest or do you need leads?

I agree with Ronda F. Luce MD. It works better when you hold it with right hand and apply the machine to chest. The ECG looks like a CM5/V5M. I've never used it to a pacient with atrial fibrilation or another arrythmia without P wave but i suppose it will work fine. There is a little interference on ECG. When you use holding with your 2 hands, the ECG looks like D1 (so, the ECG will depend your cardiac axis) and there is more interference. I bought this machine because it permits to use leads but it hasn't been necessary.

It just increases the amount of oxygen you get by about twenty percent. If you need oxygen for medical reasons then i don't think this machine is for you.

I do not use the women's model, I have the man's. I have not read the instructions for the women's, but with the man's. I apply some saliva to the contact points, place it around my chest and within a very short time the heart image appears on the main watch view, telling me it is working. If you are getting no response, check the batteries or try a commercial contact substance to stimulate the little electrodes in the band.

You don't need a step bench. On the chest circuits some of the exercisers use a bench and some lie on the floor; it's a choice (regarding preference).

Different colored bands (for different weight). If you are not going to use a pull up bar up bar you will need a lat pull machine. The program emphasizes back. I do not have a pull up bar but I do have lots of other equipment including a multi lift piece. You will also need dumbbells and a mat of some sort for the floor.

One could do them simultaneously if you like. Simply do different upper body exercises with weights while walking/climbing on these. One could do bicep curls, shoulder press, tricep pushes, and other things. However, I recommend not doing anything with your chest or back. Balance is a small issue on this walking machine. I suggest not toying with that balance much. It would be easy to cause injuries without going as far as falling off. So when not on the machine do push ups and tricep dips and other more horizontal exercises.

If you use a heart rate monitor such as a strap used around the chest or if you have exercise equipment that has built in pada on the handlebars. This product will create and send a fast electrical link with your equipment to let you see your heart rate progress during workout. A little goes a long way and works whether on your hand, if you equipment comes so equipped or on a chest strap

The chest strap must be worn to get the desired results. Make sure the strap is on properly and functioning before you go too far in your run/walk. It is reliable and gives proper readings.

You lay on the floor or a hard surface,put your ankles on the top,turn the machine on, it moves every part of your body.You can feel thecirculation. especally good for people that are not able to get out and walk, but good for anyone.I like the machine and should use it at least twice a day. I wouldsuggest a yoga mat to lay on.It is a passive exercise where the machinemoves you, instead of you moving the machine.

One simply pushes the top end to retract the claws of the holder on the bottom, and the leads needs to be carefully inserted through those claws. The lead just "drops" in. There are no threads of any sort, but instead a solid tube to house the lead.

This item is just an elastic strap. It is meant to be attached to a HR sensor that you already possess. It holds the sensor in place on your chest. Whether or not the machines in the gym will pick up the HR from you sensor depends on 1) whether the gym machines are equipped to pick up a signal from an HR sensor and 2) whether or not the gym machine, if so equipped, is compatible with the signal that your sensor is emitting. The most commonly supported signal is called ANT+. If the machine and your sensor are compatible, yes is should pick it up. If not, it won't. Best to check with your gym for capabilities of their machines, compatible HR sensors and sync procedure.

Make sure it is right under your chest. I soak mine to the point it is dripping.

I think its easy. Like putting on a coat. Although it may depend on if shoulders have the flexibility to do that. I also don't recommend this product, period. Maybe I didn't give a chance, but I thought it cut the circulation off where it crossed my chest

I get my directions from my Doctor. You should ask your health care provider.

Sharon: Detailed instructions come with the machine. It is important that you read them all before starting to use the machine. You must also know the characteristics of the batteries and/or system you have as that has a bearing on how you set it up to charge...or start the vehicle or both. It is not complex, just prudent to follow the steps outlined.

You do not need a stepper for this program. However, if you would like a wider range of motion for the chest press portion of this workout, a stepper would help. You can always purchase the program and then if you feel you would like a stepper you can purchase one later.

The Series 7 comes with everything you need. It comes with a chest strap. I have used it, and it works really well. Gives you a real-time heart rate the entire time. Just put it on, and the machine instantly starts providing your heart rate on the display.
