During both programs, the console will regularly

compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting for the current segment of the program. 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 bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate set ting. Each time the resistance changes, the resistance level will appear in the display for a few seconds to alert you.

While you exercise, you will be prompted to maintain a constant pedaling pace. When an upwardpointing arrow or the prompt SPEED UP appears next to the pace information in the display (see step 6 on this page), increase your pace. When a downwardpointing arrow or the prompt SLOW DOWN appears, decrease your pace. When no arrow or prompt appears, maintain your current pace.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

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.

HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER OR ELIMINATE FLEXING IN THE FRAME

If the elliptical exerciser rocks on your floor during use, turn one or both of the Leveling Feet (98) until the rocking motion is eliminated.

HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

If the handgrip pulse sensor does not function properly, see step 5 on page 15.

HOW TO ADJUST THE BELT

If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even while the resistance is adjusted to the highest setting, the belt may need to be adjusted. To adjust the belt, first carefully pry off the left Disc Cover (13) using a flat screwdriver. Next, remove the four screws (not shown) from the center of the left Disc (12). Gently rotate the Disc Cover and the Disc away from the elliptical exerciser.

If the elliptical exerciser flexes in the center during use, turn the Center Foot (95) until the flexing is eliminated.

HOW TO ELIMINATE RUBBING OF THE DISCS

See the drawing above. If the Discs (12) rub against the Side Shields (14, 15) during use, make sure that the Center Foot (95) is installed in the Frame (1). If the Center Foot is installed, loosen the two indicated Bolt Sets (88) and the two each side of the elliptical exerciser.

calories for ener-

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 determining heart rate trends in general.

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.

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. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.

o find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age

T at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above your age. The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Fat Burning

o burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-

T ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.

The three numbers are your “training zone.”

Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone. Note: During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.

A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

o maintain or improve your condition, complete three

T workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week if desired. regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

The key to success is to make exercise a
