CHAPTER 2: Setup

2.1 GETTING STARTED

Read the Owner’s Manual before setting up the Matrix Elliptical Trainer. Place the unit where it will be used before beginning the setup procedure.

2.2 CHOOSING A LOCATION

The site should be well-lit and well-ventilated. Place the E1x on a structurally solid and flat surface a few feet from the wall or any equipment. If the site has a heavy plush carpet, to protect the carpeting and machinery, you should place a rigid plastic base under the unit.

Please do not place the Total Body Elliptical Trainer in an area of high humidity, such as the vicinity of a steam room, indoor pool, or sauna. Exposure to intensive water vapour or chlorine could adversely affect the electronics, as well as other parts of the machine. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the Total Body Elliptical Trainer should be in an attractive setting.

2.3 STABILIZING THE MATRIX ELLIPTICAL TRAINER

After placing the unit where it will be used, check its stability. If the Elliptical E1x is placed on a slightly, uneven surface, adjusting the adjustable levelers located underneath the base frame can help, but will not compensate for extremely uneven surfaces. To adjust, loosen the nut, and turn the leveler until the rocking motion ceases, and both levelers rest firmly on the floor. Retighten the nut.

2.4 UNPACKING THE TOTAL BODY ELLIPTICAL TRAINER

The Elliptical Trainer is carefully inspected before shipment so it should arrive in good operating condition. Matrix Fitness ships the unit in the following pieces:

Quick Start is the fastest way to begin exercising and bypasses the setup prompts. After pressing the QUICK START key, a constant-level workout begins.

Warm-up is a low-intensity phase that brings the heart rate into the lower end of the target zone and increases respiration and blood flow to working muscles.

Cool-down is a low-intensity phase that allows the body to begin removing lactic acid, and other exercise by-products, which build up in muscles and contribute to soreness.

Manual is a constant intensity level unless it is manually changed.

Hill Interval is an efficient workout by alternating work intervals and recovery intervals.

Random Hill is an interval training workout that occurs in no regular pattern or progression.

CONSTANT WATTS

RANDOM

Constant Watts is designed to maintain your watts expenditure at a constant level by controlling pedaling resistance and prompting you to pedal at a specified RPM. Watts level may vary above and below your target watts level during this program.

Random is a workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or progression.

5.4 WORKOUT TIPS

Matrix Fitness strongly recommends seeing your physician for a complete physical examination before beginning any ﬁtness program. Know your

physician-recommended heart rate target zone. If, at any time while exercising, you experiences faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of breathe, you must

stop immediately.

To mount the elliptical trainer, grasp the front stationary handlebars and place your feet on the pedals. When you are comfortably situated, begin pedaling.

To dismount the elliptical trainer, stop pedaling, grasp the front stationary handlebars and get off the unit.

It is highly recommended that you always incorporate the warm-up and cool-down period into your workout. Warm-up brings the heart rate into the lower

end of the target zone and increases respiration and blood ﬂow to working muscles. Cool-down takes time for a user’s heart rate to return to a resting state

after vigorous exercise and reduces the amount of lactic acid in muscle tissue.

5.5 WORKOUT SETUP STEPS
