around the abdominal exerciser to mount,

dismount, and use the abdominal exerciser.

7. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-

larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

8. Keep children under age 12 and pets away

from the abdominal exerciser at all times.

9. The abdominal exerciser should not be used

by persons weighing more than 250 lbs.

(113 kg).

10. Wear appropriate clothes while exercising;

do not wear loose clothes that could become

caught on the abdominal exerciser. Always

wear athletic shoes for foot protection while

exercising.

11. Use extreme caution while mounting and dis-

mounting the abdominal exerciser (see HOW

TO MOUNT AND DISMOUNT on page 11).

Always hold the handlebars while exercising;

do not hold the pivot frame or the console.

12. Keep hands and feet away from moving

parts.

13. When using the optional weights on the

weight tubes (see page 4), always secure the

HOW TO MOUNT AND DISMOUNT

The pivot frame can swivel from side to side, and

the knee pad can move forward and backward; to

avoid losing your balance, use extreme caution

while mounting and dismounting the abdominal

exerciser.

First, make sure that the Pivot Frame (3) is in the

position shown in the drawing below. Do not rotate

the Pivot Frame so that the Console (8) is near the

floor as shown in the inset drawing.

Next, stand beside the abdominal exerciser and hold

the Handlebars (5, 9) firmly with both hands. Place one

knee on the Knee Pad (7), halfway between the front

of the Knee Pad and the back of the Knee Pad. Then,

place your other knee on the Knee Pad. Always hold

the Handlebars while exercising; do not hold the

Pivot Frame (3) or the Console (8).

To dismount, hold the Handlebars (5, 9) and place one

foot at a time on the floor beside the Knee Pad (7).

HOW TO ADD WEIGHT

To increase the intensity of your exercise, you can add

optional weights to the weight tubes on the carriage

(see page 4). To order the optional weight kit, see

the front cover of this manual.

HOW TO LOCK THE PIVOT FRAME

Pivot Frame (3)

from swiveling

from side to side,

insert the Lock

Pin (27) into the

Pivot Frame and

the Main Frame

(1).

HOW TO LOCK THE KNEE PAD

To prevent the

Knee Pad (7)

from moving

forward and

backward, insert

the Lock Pin (27)

into the Carriage

(6) and the Pivot

Frame (3).

HOW TO CHANGE THE INCLINE

To change

the incline of

the abdominal

exerciser, first

remove the

Incline Pin (51).

Then, raise or

lower the Main

Frame (1) to the

desired height,

and fully insert

the Incline Pin into the Front Leg (26) and into one of

the three adjustment holes in the Incline Leg (50).

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The console features five modes that provide instant

exercise feedback during your workouts:

Scan—This mode

displays the Time,

Calorie, and Reps/

Min modes in a

repeating cycle.

Time—This mode

displays the elapsed

time.

Count—This mode displays the number of repetitions

completed during the current workout.

Calorie—This mode displays the approximate number

of calories burned.

Reps/Min—This mode displays the number of repeti-

tions being completed per minute.

HOW TO USE THE CONSOLE

Note: Make sure that a battery is installed (see assem-

bly step 9 on page 9). If there is a sheet of clear

plastic on the display, remove the plastic.

1. Turn on the console.

Press the console button or begin exercising to

turn on the console.

2. Select a mode for display.

Scan mode—To

select the scan

mode, press the

console button

repeatedly until

an arrow appears

next to the word

SCAN.

Time, Calorie, or Reps/Min mode—To select one

of these modes for continuous display, press the

console button repeatedly until an arrow appears

next to the desired selection. Make sure that

there is not an arrow next to the word SCAN.

3. Begin exercising and follow your progress with

the display.

As you exercise, the console will provide instant

exercise feedback.

4. Reset the console, if desired.

To reset the console display, press and hold the

console button for several seconds until zeros

appear in the display.

5. When you are fi nished exercising, the console

will turn off automatically.

If you do not move the knee pad and do not press

the console button for a few minutes, the console

will turn off automatically.

HOW TO USE THE ABDOMINAL EXERCISER

The abdominal exerciser can be used with the pivot

frame locked or unlocked (see HOW TO LOCK THE

PIVOT FRAME on page 11). In addition, the abdomi-

nal exerciser can be used with the knee pad locked

or unlocked (see HOW TO LOCK THE KNEE PAD on

page 11).

With the pivot frame and the knee pad unlocked,

the pivot frame can swivel from side to side and the

knee pad can move forward and backward. To exer-

cise, use your core muscles to swivel the pivot frame

from side to side and/or to move the knee pad forward

and backward.

With the pivot frame locked and the knee pad

unlocked, the pivot frame will not swivel from side to

side, but the knee pad will move forward and back-

ward. To exercise, use your core muscles to move the

knee pad forward and backward.

With the pivot frame unlocked and the knee pad

locked, the pivot frame can swivel from side to side,

but the knee pad will not move forward and backward.

To exercise, use your core muscles to swivel the pivot

frame from side to side.

For more information, see the included workout DVD.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise

program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a

reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,

proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for

successful results.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your

cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten-

sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your

heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.

The chart below shows recommended heart rates for

fat burning and aerobic exercise.

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the

bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-

est ten years). The three numbers listed above your

age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is

the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the

heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest

number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-

cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of

time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your

body uses 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 lowest number in your training

zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your

heart rate near the middle number in your training

zone.

Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your

cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic

exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts

of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic

exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your

heart rate is near the highest number in your training

zone.

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE

To measure your heart

rate, exercise for at least

four minutes. Then, stop

exercising and place

two fingers on your

wrist as shown. Take a

six-second heartbeat

count, and multiply the

result by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your

six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140

beats per minute.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-

ing and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body

temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation

for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min-

utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During

the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not

keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer

than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you

exercise—never hold your breath.

Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-

ing. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles

and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three

workouts each week, with at least one day of rest

between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-

cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week,

if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make

exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday

life.

WARNING: Before beginning this

or any exercise program, consult your physi-

cian. This is especially important for persons

over age 35 or persons with pre-existing

health problems.
