HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the
pedals come to a complete stop. Important: The
elliptical crosstrainer does not have a free wheel;
the pedals will continue to move until the flywheel
stops. When the pedals are stationary, step off the
highest pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.

To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handlebar
and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest position.
Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until
they begin to move with a continuous motion. Note:
The pedal disks can turn in either direction. It is
recommended that you move the pedal disks in
the direction shown below; however, to give variety to your exercise, you may choose to turn the
pedal disks in the opposite direction.

HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE
To adjust the
intensity of your
exercise, the
resistance of the
pedals can be
adjusted. To
increase the
resistance, turn
the resistance
control clockwise;
to decrease the
resistance, turn
the control counterclockwise.

INCLINE ADJUSTMENT

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE

The incline frame can be raised or lowered to vary the
intensity of your exercise. To raise the incline frame,
lift the end of the incline frame until the crossbar is on
top of the incline bracket. Make sure that the incline
frame is resting securely on top of the incline
bracket. To lower the incline frame, first lift the incline
frame slightly. Next, push the incline bracket toward
the upright and lower the incline frame onto the stabilizer.

The innovative
console offers a
manual mode and
three pacer programs. The pacer
programs are
designed to help
you reach specific
exercise goals by
pacing your exercise. You can
choose from a stamina-building
Interval program,
an Aerobic program, and a special Fat Burn program. As you
exercise, seven
monitor modes will
provide continuous exercise feedback. The monitor
modes are described below:

HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE

2

When you use a
pacer program, two
Actual
columns of bars will
appear in the display. The left column represents a
Target
target pace and the
right column shows
your actual exercising pace. The target pace will change periodically during the program; as the target pace changes, simply
adjust your exercising pace to keep both columns at
the same height. Important: The target pace is a
goal pace. Your actual pace may be slower than the
target pace, especially during the first few months
of your exercise program. Be sure to exercise at a
pace that is comfortable for you.
The three graphs on
the console show
how the target pace
will change during
the programs.
During the Aerobic
program (P2), for
example, the target pace will gradually increase during
the first half of the program, and gradually decrease
during the last half of the program. Each program will
last for twenty minutes.

Actual
mode, go to
step 4. If you
selected one of
the pacer proTarget
grams, two
columns of
bars will
appear in the display. The left column will show
one bar, indicating a relatively slow pace. The
right column will show your actual exercising
pace. Adjust your exercising pace until only one
bar appears in the right column. Each time the
target pace changes during the program, adjust
your exercising pace to keep both columns at the
same height.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program.

WARNING:

Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons
over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the userÕs movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only
as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.

EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. For effective exercise, your heart
rate should be maintained at a level between 70% and
85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise. This
is known as your Òtraining zone.Ó You can find your
training zone in the table below. Training zones are
listed according to age and physical condition.

Burning Fat
To burn fat, you must exercise at a low intensity level
for a sustained period of time. During the first few
minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible
carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few
minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored
fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust
the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is
near the low end of your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be Òaerobic.Ó Aerobic exercise
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,
adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart
rate is near the middle of your training zone.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include three important parts:
(1) a warm-up, (2) training zone exercise, and (3) a
cool-down.
Warming upÑWarming up prepares the body for
exercise by increasing circulation, delivering more
oxygen to the muscles, and raising the body temperature. Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of
stretching and light exercise to warm up.

Training Zone ExerciseÑAfter warming up, increase
the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is in
your training zone for 20 to 30 minutes.

To maintain or improve your condition, plan three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week, if desired.
The key to success is to make exercise a regular and
enjoyable part of your everyday life.
