IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this equipment

CAUTION:

Exercise of a strenuous nature, as is customarily done on this equipment, should not be undertaken without first consulting a physician.

No specific health claims are made or implied as they relate to the equipment.

1)Before starting this or any other exercise program, consult your physician, who can assist you in determining the target heart rate zone appropriate for your age and physical condition. Certain exercise programs or types of equipment may not be appropriate for all people. This is especially important for people over the age of 35, pregnant women, or those with pre-existing health problems or balance impairments.

2)Monitor your heart rate while you exercise and keep your estimated pulse rate within your target heart rate zone. Follow the instructions on pages 18 – 20 in this manual regarding heart rate monitoring and how to determine your appropriate target heart rate zone. When used properly, the heart rate pulse sensors and display monitor provide a reasonably accurate estimate of your actual heart rate. This estimate is not exact and persons with medical conditions and/or a specific need for accurate heart rate monitoring should not rely on the estimations provided.

3)Warm up before any exercise program by doing 5 - 10 minutes of aerobic activity, followed by stretching.

4)Wear comfortable clothes that allow freedom of movement and that are not tight or restricting.

5)Wear comfortable shoes made of good support with non-slip soles.

6)Breathe naturally, never holding your breath during an exercise.

7)Avoid over training. You should be able to carry on a conversation while exercising.

8)After an exercise session, cool down with slow walking and stretching.

9)This equipment should not be used by or near children.

10)Handicapped or disabled people must have medical approval before using this equipment and should be under close supervision when using any exercise equipment.

11)If you are taking medication which may affect your heart rate, a physician's advice is absolutely essential.

12)Use this equipment only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.

13)Only one person at a time should use this equipment.

14)Do not put hands, feet, or any foreign objects on or near this equipment when in use by others.

15)Always use this equipment on a level surface.

16)Never operate the equipment if the equipment is not functioning properly.

17)Start exercise slowly and gradually increase the amount of resistance.

18)If the user experiences dizziness, nausea, chest pain, or any other abnormal symptoms, stop exercise at once and consult a physician immediately.

19)Use caution not to pinch fingers or hands in moving parts when using the equipment.

20)Risk of electrical shock. This equipment is to be used only indoors and in a dry location.

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CARE & STORAGE OF YOUR ELLIPTICAL TRAINER

Care Directions

Your Elliptical Trainer has been carefully designed to require minimum maintenance. However, we recommend the following to keep your trainer operating smoothly.

Unplug your elliptical trainer when it is not in use.

Use your elliptical trainer indoors only.

Wipe all perspiration from your elliptical trainer with a soft, clean cloth after each use to prevent an accumulation of sweat and dirt.

Clean your elliptical trainer on a regular basis to prevent a build-up of dust. Use Windex or an alcohol based cleanser on a clean cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaners and/or polish as these will damage the surface.

Store your elliptical trainer in a dry area away from children and high traffic areas.

Regularly check the tightness of nuts and bolts.

Storing Directions

Your elliptical trainer is lightweight, compact and portable. It can be easily moved from place to place.

Unplug your elliptical trainer.

Stand in front of the elliptical trainer and make sure that the dual-action handlebars are even. They are even when one foot platform is at the top of the elliptical disc and the other is

at the bottom.

Grasp the stationary handlebars and pull back, tipping the elliptical trainer towards you until it is resting on the transportation wheels/front rollers.

Wheel the elliptical trainer to its new location and store in an upright position.

4. Back Stretch

Stand with your legs shoulder length apart and your knees slightly bent. Bend forward from your waist with your arms extending loosely in front of your body. Gently bend from the waist flexing your body as far forward as it will go.

Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Straighten up and repeat.

5. Standing Hamstrings Stretch

Stand with your legs hip width apart. Extend one leg out in front of you and keep that foot flat against the ground. With your hands resting lightly on your thighs, bend your back leg and lean forward slightly from your hips until you feel a stretch in the back of your thigh. Be sure to lean forward from the hip joint rather than bending at your waist.

Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat for the opposite leg.

6. Buttocks, Hips and Abdominal Stretch

Lay flat on your back with your hips relaxed against the floor. Bend one leg at the knee. Keeping both shoulders flat on the floor, gently grasp the bent knee with your hands and pull it over your body and towards the ground. You should feel a stretch in your hips, abdominals and lower back.

Hold for 20 to 30 seconds and release. Repeat for opposite side.

7. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit on the floor and bend your legs so that the soles of your feet are together. Place your elbows on your knees. Lean forward from the waist and press down lightly on the inside of your knees. You should feel a stretch in the muscles of your inside thigh.

Hold for 20 to 30 seconds and release.

8. Arm Pullback

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and toes pointing forward and with your knees slightly bent. Let your arms hang relaxed on either side of your body. Expand your chest and pull your shoulders back. Bend your elbows slightly and clasp your hands behind your back. Slowly straighten your arms as you lift your hands upward. Raise your hands upward until you feel mild tension in your shoulder and chest region.

Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Lower your arms to their original position and bend your elbows. Release your hands and return them to your sides.
