HOW T

Each Smart program will automatically change the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to increase or decrease your pace as it guides you through an effective workout. Programs 1 and 2 are weight loss programs, programs 3 and 4 are aerobic programs, and programs 5 and 6 are high-performance programs.

Follow the steps below to use a Smart program.

O USE A SMART PROGRAM

Turn on the console.

See step 1 on page 11.

Select one of the Smart programs.

Each time the console is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. To select a Smart program, press the Program button repeatedly until the number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 appears in the small display.

Begin pedaling to start the program.

To start the program, simply begin pedaling. Each Smart program consists of 20 or 30 one-minute periods. One resistance level and one target pace are programmed for each period. (The same resistance level and/or target pace may be programmed for two or more consecutive periods.)

At the end of each period of the program, the resistance of the pedals will automatically change if a different resistance level is programmed for the next period. Note: If the resistance level is too high or too low, you can change it by pressing the + and – buttons below the large display. However, when the current period is completed, the resistance of the pedals will automatically change if a dif

ferent resistance level is programmed for the

next period.

The target pace for the current period will be shown by the arrows in the small display. To pedal at the target pace, simply increase or decrease your pace until there is one arrow pointing to each segment of the indicator bar (see the drawing above). At the end of each period, the number of arrows will change if a different target pace is programmed for the next period. When the number of arrows changes, change your pace until there is again one arrow pointing to each segment of the indicator bar.

Important: The target pace is intended only to provide a goal. Your actual pace may be slower than the target pace, especially during the first few months of your exercise program. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.

During the program, the center of the large display will show the time remaining in the program. If you stop pedaling for a few seconds, the displays will pause and the time will flash. If you continue pedaling after the program is completed, the displays will continue to show exercise feedback.

Follow your progress with the large display.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical crosstrainer regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the elliptical crosstrainer, 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. Refer to assembly step 5 on page 7 for replacement instructions.

HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

After the elliptical crosstrainer has been moved to the location where it will be used, make sure that the ends of both stabilizers are touching the floor. If the elliptical crosstrainer rocks slightly during use, turn one or both of the leveling feet under the front stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated.

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 sensor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.

CONDITIONING 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 following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember that 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, 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. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.

During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible gy. 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 as you exercise.

For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone as you exercise.

Aerobic Exercise

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” 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 highest number in your training zone as you exercise.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three parts:

A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise (see SUGGESTED STRETCHES on page 21). A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.

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 tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons 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 buttocks 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.
