CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

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.

o find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above your age.

The three numbers are your “training zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Fat Burning

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body

uses easily accessible

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 e

xercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num-

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

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

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 exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

WARNING:

Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is espec

ially 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 determining heart rate trends in general.

10.Apply a small amount of the included high-temperature lubricant to a paper towel. Rub a thin film of the lubricant onto the Handlebar Legs (79). Next, identify the Left Handlebar (9) and the Right Handlebar (10), which are marked with stickers. Slide the Left Handlebar onto the left Handlebar Leg, and slide the Right Handlebar onto the right Handlebar Leg.

Make sure that the

Handlebars are on the correct sides.

Apply a generous amount of grease to the Pivot Axle (88). Insert the Pivot Axle through the Right Handlebar (10) and a Handlebar Spacer (25) as shown. Next, insert the Pivot Axle into the Upright (2) until the left end of the Pivot Axle is flush with the left side of the Upright. Then, insert the Pivot Axle through the other Handlebar Spacer (25) and the Left Handlebar (9).

Slide an M8 Large Washer (53) onto each of the two M8 x 25mm Patch Screws (22). Finger tighten the two Patch Screws into the ends of the Pivot Axle (88). Next, press the two Handlebar Caps (23) onto the two Handlebar Spacers (25). Then, tighten both Patch

Screws at the same time.

See step 5. Tighten the M10 x 87mm Button Screw (63).

Lubricant

Grease

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

For smooth operation of the elliptical exerciser, clean the

ramp regularly

using a soft cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. Other parts of the elliptical exerciser can be cleaned in the same way.

Keep liquids away from the console. Never use abrasives or solvents.

HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

Stand in front of the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars firmly, and place one foot against the ramp in the location shown. Pull the handlebars until the elliptical exerciser can be moved on the front wheels, and carefully move the elliptical exerciser to the desired location. Then, place one foot against the ramp and lower the elliptical exerciser.

Due to the size and weight of the elliptical exer-

ciser

, use extreme caution while moving and low-

ering it.

HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

fter the elliptical exerciser has been moved, make sure that the ends of both stabilizers are touching the floor. If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor during use, turn one or both of the leveling feet under the front stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated.

HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

If there are sheets of clear plastic on the metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, peel off the plastic. For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse sensor, keep the metal contacts clean using a soft cloth and a small amount of mild detergent.

Never

use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.

Avoid moving your hands or squeezing the handgrip pulse sensor too tightly. Excessive movement or pressure may interfere with heart rate readings. For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the metal contacts for about 30 seconds.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

This product must be earthed. If it should malfunc-

tion or break down, earthing provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing plug. If the power cord is damaged, it must be

replaced with a manufacturer-recommended power cord.

Two power cords are included. Select the one that will fit your outlet.

Refer to drawing 1, and plug the indicated end of the power cord into the socket at the back of the elliptical exerciser.

Refer to drawing

2. Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and earthed in accor-

dance with all local codes and ordinances. Note: In

Italy, an adaptor (not included) must be used between the power cord and the outlet. Important: The elliptical exerciser is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.

Note: When the power cord is plugged in, the ellip

tical exerciser’s incline system may automatically calibrate itself. During the calibration process, two dashes (– –) will appear in the main display of the console, and the ramp will move to the highest position and then return to the lowest position. The calibration process will last for one to two minutes.

DANGER: Improper connection of

the equipment-earthing conductor can result in an increased risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly earthed. Do not modify the plug provided with the product—if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Each preset 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.

Follow the steps below to use a preset program.

Turn on the console.

See step 1 on page 12.

Select a preset program.

To select a preset program, press the Program (PGM) button repeatedly until “P-3,” “P-4,” “P-5,” “P-6,” “P-7,” “P-8,” “P-9,” or “P-10” appears in the upper section of the display.

Begin pedalling to start the program.

To start the program, simply begin pedalling. Each preset program consists of 20 or 30 one-minute periods. One resistance level and one target pace are programmed for each period. Note: 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 time will flash in the centre display and a series of tones will sound. In addition, 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 Resistance + and – buttons. However, when the current period ends, the resistance of the pedals will automatically change if a different resistance level is programmed for the next period.

As you exercise, the pace display w

ill help you to keep your peda

lling pace near the target pace setting for the current period. When one of the “too slow” indicators lights, increase your pace. When one of the “too fast” indicators lights, decrease your pace. When the centre indicator lights, maintain your current pace.

Important: The target pace settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actual pace may be slower than the target pace settings. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

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

OW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM

OW TO USE THE PULSE PROGRAM

Pulse program 1 is designed to keep your heart rate w

ithin a preset range during your workout. Pulse pro-

ram 2 is designed to keep your heart rate near a tar-

get heart rate setting that you select.

Follow the steps below to use a pulse program.

Turn on the console.

See step 1 on page 12.

Select a pulse program.

To select a pulse program, press the Program (PGM) button repeatedly until “P-1” or “P-2” appears in the upper section of the display.

Enter your age or a target heart rate setting.

If pulse program 1 is selected, the

word “AGE” will flash in the lower section of the display and an age setting will appear. If you have already entered your age, press the button with the heart symbol. If you have not entered your age, press the small + and – buttons to enter your age, and then press the button with the heart symbol. Note: Once you have entered your age, it will be saved in memory.

If pulse program 2 is selected, the

word “RATE” will flash in the lower section of the dis

play and a target heart rate setting will appear. Press the small + and – buttons to change the target heart rate set

ting if desired

(see EXERCISE INTENSITY on

page 22).

Then, press the button with the heart

symbol.

Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

t is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor continuously during a pulse program; h

owever, you must hold the handgrip pulse sensor frequently for the program to function properly.

Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, 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.

Begin pedalling to start the program.

Pulse program 1 is divided into 30 one-minute

periods. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each period. (The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive periods.)

Pulse program 2 is divided

into 60 one-minute periods (you may choose to use only part of the program). The same target heart rate setting is programmed for all periods.

During the program, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting for the current period. 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 setting. Note: If the resistance level is too high or too low, you can override it by pressing the Resistance buttons. However, when the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the resistance may automatically change.

After the first oneminute period ends, the pace display will help you to maintain a steady pedalling pace. When one of the “too slow” indicators lights, increase your pace. When one of the “too fast” indicators lights, decrease your pace. When the centre indicator lights, maintain your current pace.

Important: The pace display is intended only to provide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.
