HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL

EXERCISER

To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handgrip

pulse sensor 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 discs can turn in either

direction. It is recommended that you move the

pedal discs in the direction shown by the arrow

below; however, for variety, you can turn the pedal

discs in the opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-

als come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical

exerciser 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.

HOW TO USE THE HANDLEBARS

The handlebars are

designed to add

upper-body exer-

cise to your work-

outs. Push and pull

the handlebars as

you exercise to

work your arms,

shoulders, and

back.

To exercise only your lower body, hold the handgrip

pulse sensor as you exercise.

HOW TO ADJUST THE STRIDE OF THE ELLIPTI-

CAL EXERCISER

To adjust the stride of the elliptical exerciser, first pull

one of the adjustment knobs until the adjustment

bracket can be pivoted freely. Then, pivot the adjust-

ment bracket until the adjustment knob is aligned with

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers a selection of features

designed to make your workouts more effective. When

the manual mode of the console is selected, the resis-

tance of the pedals can be changed with the touch of

a button. As you pedal, the console will provide contin-

uous exercise feedback. You can even measure your

heart rate using the built-in handgrip pulse sensor.

In addition, the console features two pulse programs

that change the resistance of the pedals and help you

to maintain a steady pedaling pace to keep your heart

rate near a target heart rate setting while you exer-

cise.

The console also offers four preset programs. Each

program automatically changes the resistance of the

pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your

pedaling pace as it guides you through an effective

workout.

To use the manual mode of the console, see the

instructions at the right. To use a pulse program, see

page 14. To use a preset program, see page 15.

Before using the console, make sure that batteries are

installed (see assembly step 5 on page 8). If there is a

sheet of clear plastic on the display, remove the plas-

tic.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

1. Turn on the console.

To turn on the console, press the Increase button

or begin pedaling. The pace guide will light for a

moment; the console will then be ready for use.

2. Select the manual mode.

When the power is turned on, the manual mode

will be selected. If you have selected a program,

reselect the manual mode by pressing the

Program button repeatedly until no program indi-

cators (see the drawing above) appear along the

left side of the display.

3. Change the resistance of the pedals as

desired.

As you pedal,

change the resis-

tance of the pedals

by pressing the

Increase and

Decrease buttons.

4. Monitor your progress with the display.

The upper half of

the display will show

the elapsed time,

the distance (total

revolutions) you

have pedaled, and

the resistance level

of the pedals. The display will change from one

mode to the next every few seconds. Note: When

a program is selected (except for pulse program

2), the display will show the time remaining in the

program instead of the elapsed time.

The lower half of the

display will show

your pedaling speed

(revolutions per

minute [RPM]) and

the approximate

number of calories

you have burned. The display will change from

one mode to the other every few seconds. The

lower half of the display will also show your heart

rate when you use the handgrip pulse sensor (see

step 5).

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.

If there are sheets

of clear plastic on

the metal contacts

on the handgrip

pulse sensor,

remove the plastic.

Next, hold the hand-

grip pulse sensor

with your palms

resting on the contacts. When your pulse is detect-

ed, the heart-shaped indicator in the lower half of

the display will flash each time your heart beats,

and your heart rate will be shown.

For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue

to hold the handgrip pulse sensor for about 30

seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the hand-

grip pulse sensor, the display will show your heart

rate for about 30 seconds. The display will then

show your heart rate along with the other modes.

If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that

your hands are positioned as described. Avoid

moving your hands excessively or squeezing the

metal contacts too tightly. For optimal perfor-

mance, periodically clean the metal contacts using

a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or

chemicals.

6. Turn on the fan if desired.

To turn on the fan at low speed, press the fan but-

ton. To turn on the fan at high speed, press the fan

button a second time. To turn off the fan, press the

fan button a third time. Note: If the fan is turned on

but the pedals are not moved for thirty seconds,

the fan will automatically turn off to conserve the

batteries.

Rotate the thumb

tab on the right side

of the fan to adjust

the angle of the fan.

7. When you are finished exercising, the console

will automatically turn off.

If the pedals are not moved for a few seconds, the

time will begin to flash and the console will pause.

If the pedals are not moved for a few minutes, the

console will turn off and the display will be reset.

HOW TO USE A PULSE PROGRAM

Pulse program 1 is designed to keep your heart rate

within a set range during your workout. Pulse program

2 is designed to keep your heart rate near a target

heart rate setting that you select.

Follow the steps below to use a pulse program.

1. Turn on the console.

See step 1 on page 12.

2. Select a pulse program.

To select pulse pro-

gram 1 or 2, press

the Program button

repeatedly until the

number 1 or 2

appears along the

left side of the dis-

play.

3. Enter a target heart rate.

If pulse program 1 is selected, the maximum tar-

get heart rate setting for the program will flash in

the display (see the drawing above). Press the

Increase and Decrease buttons to change the set-

ting, if desired (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on

page 17). If the maximum target heart rate setting

is increased or decreased, the intensity level of the

entire program will increase or decrease.

If pulse program 2 is selected, the target heart

rate setting for the entire program will flash in the

display. Press the Increase and Decrease buttons

to change the setting, if desired (see EXERCISE

INTENSITY on page 17).

4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen-

sor continuously during a pulse program; however,

you must hold the handgrip pulse sensor frequent-

ly. Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sen-

sor, keep your hands on the metal contacts for

at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not

holding the handgrip pulse sensor, the letters PLS

will appear in the display instead of your heart

rate.

5. Begin pedaling to start the program.

Pulse program 1 is 30 minutes long, and is divid-

ed into several time periods of different lengths.

One target heart rate is programmed for each peri-

od. Pulse program 2 is sixty minutes long (you

may choose to use only part of the program). The

same target heart rate is programmed for the

entire program.

During the program, the console will regularly

compare your heart rate to the target heart rate

setting. If your heart rate is too far below or above

the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the

pedals will automatically increase or decrease to

being your heart rate closer to the target heart rate

setting. Note: If the resistance level is too high or

too low, you can override it by pressing the

Increase and Decrease buttons. However, when

the console compares your heart rate to the target

heart rate setting, the resistance may automatical-

ly change.

After the first minute of the program, the pace

guide will help you to maintain a steady pedaling

pace. When one of the two lower indicators lights,

increase your pace; when one of the two upper

indicators lights, decrease your pace. When the

center indicator lights, maintain your current pace.

IMPORTANT: The pace guide is intended only

to provide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a pace

that is comfortable for you.

The display will show the time remaining in pulse

program 1, or the elapsed time in pulse program

2. If you stop pedaling for a few seconds, the pro-

gram will pause and the time will flash in the dis-

play. To restart the program, simply resume pedal-

ing.

6. Monitor your progress with the display.

See step 4 on page 13.

7. Turn on the fan if desired.

See step 6 on page 13.

8. When you are finished exercising, the console

will automatically turn off.

See step 7 on page 13.

HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM

Preset programs 3, 4, 5, and 6 automatically change

the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to

increase or decrease your pedaling pace as they

guide you through effective workouts. The profiles

printed on the left side of the display show how the

resistance level and the target pace will change during

the preset programs.

Follow the steps below to use a preset program.

1. Turn on the console.

See step 1 on page 12.

2. Select a preset program.

To select preset pro-

gram 3, 4, 5, or 6,

press the Program

button repeatedly

until the number 3,

4, 5, or 6 appears

along the left side of

the display. When a

preset program is selected, the display will show

how long the program will last.

3. Begin pedaling to start the program.

Each preset program consists of several time peri-

ods of different lengths. One resistance level and

one target pace are programmed for each period.

At the end of each period of the program, the

resistance level will flash in the display for a few

seconds. The resistance of the pedals will then

automatically change to the resistance level that is

programmed for the next period. Note: If the resis-

tance level is too high or too low, you can override

it by pressing the Increase and Decrease buttons.

However, when the current period ends, the resis-

tance level will automatically change if a different

resistance level is programmed for the next period.

During the program, the pace guide will prompt

you to increase or decrease your pedaling pace.

When one of the two lower indicators lights,

increase your pace; when one of the two upper

indicators lights, decrease your pace. When the

center indicator lights, maintain your current pace.

IMPORTANT: The pace guide is intended only

to provide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a pace

that is comfortable for you.

The display will show the time remaining in the

program. If you stop pedaling for a few seconds,

the program will pause and the time will flash in

the display. To restart the program, simply resume

pedaling.

4. Monitor your progress with the display.

See step 4 on page 13.

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.

See step 5 on page 13.

6. Turn on the fan if desired.

See step 6 on page 13.

7. When you are finished exercising, the console

will automatically turn off.

See step 7 on page 13.

Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser

regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and

a small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid

damage to the console, keep liquids away from

the console and keep the console out of direct

sunlight.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If the console displays become dim, the batteries

should be replaced; most console problems are the

result of low batteries. See assembly step 5 on page 8

for replacement instructions.

HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

• Avoid moving your hands while using the handgrip

pulse sensor. Excessive movement may interfere

with heart rate readings.

• Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so

may interfere with heart rate readings.

• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the

metal contacts for about 30 seconds.

• For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse sen-

sor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can

be cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol,

abrasives, or chemicals.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

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.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Warming up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching

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

stretching. 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.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

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 may affect the accuracy of

heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is

intended only as an exercise aid in determin-

ing heart rate trends in general.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.

Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from

your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach

down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then

relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and

back.

2. Hamstring Stretch

Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot

toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg.

Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,

then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings,

lower back and groin.

3. Calf/Achilles Stretch

With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your

hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back

foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move

your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3

times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles ten-

dons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles ten-

dons and ankles.

4. Quadriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp

one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your but-

tocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times

for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

5. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.

Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15

counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip

muscles.
