HOW TO USE THE AIR WALKER
EXERCISING ON THE AIR WALKER
Make sure that the lock knob is tightened into the left leg and link plate (see assembly step 2 on page 4). Adjust the resistance to a high setting, hold the han­dles, and step onto the pedals. The proper form for exercising on the AIR WALKER is similar to the motion of walkingÑmove one leg forward as you move the other leg back.
For a full body workout, hold the handles as you walk and move your arms and legs in motion with the han­dles and pedals. To vary the effect of the exercise on your muscles, change your stance on the AIR WALKER. For example, change the position of your hands on the handles, or bend your legs slightly instead of keeping them straight.
For a lower body workout, rest your hands on the crossbar cover for balance as you move the pedals.
RESISTANCE ADJUSTMENT
To vary the intensity of your workout, the resistance of the AIR WALKER can be adjusted. To change the resistance, turn the resistance dials on the resistance cylinders. There are twelve different resistance levels. Arrows on the resistance cylinders will show which resistance level is selected. Select the same resis­tance level on both cylinders.
CAUTION: The resistance cylinders become very hot during use. Allow the resistance cylinders to cool before touching them. When adjusting the resistance, touch only the resistance dials.
ELECTRONIC MONITOR MODES
The simple-to-operate electronic monitor offers five different modes to provide instant exercise feedback. The five modes are described below:
SpeedÑDisplays the number of repetitions you are
performing per minute.
TimeÑDisplays the length of time you have exer­cised. Note: If you stop exercising for ten seconds or longer, the time mode will pause until you resume.
DistanceÑDisplays the total number of repetitions you have completed, up to Ò999.Ó The display will then reset to Ò0Ó and continue counting.
CaloriesÑDisplays the approximate number of Calories you have burned. Note: If the resistance is near the highest or lowest setting, the actual number of Calories you have burned will be slightly higher or lower than the number displayed.
ScanÑDisplays the speed, time, distance, and calo­ries modes, for approximately 5 seconds each, in a repeating cycle.

BATTERY INSTALLATION
Before the electronic monitor can be operated, two ÒAAÓ batteries must be installed. If you have not installed batteries, see assembly step 3 on page 4.
OPERATING THE ELECTRONIC MONITOR
1. To turn on the power, press the on/reset button or simply begin exercising on the AIR WALKER. The entire display will appear for two seconds. The electronic monitor will then be ready for operation.
2. Select one of the five modes:
Scan modeÑWhen the power is turned on, the scan mode will be selected automatically. The scan mode can also be selected by repeatedly pressing the mode but­ton. One mode indi­cator will show that the scan mode has been selected, and a second mode indi­cator will show which mode is currently displayed.
Speed, time, distance, or calories modeÑ These modes can be individually selected by repeatedly pressing the mode button. The mode indi­cators will show which mode has been selected. (Make sure that the scan mode is not selected.) The modes will be selected in the following order: speed, time, distance, calories, scan.
3. The monitor has an auto-off feature to turn off the power. If the pedals are not moved and the monitor buttons are not pressed for four minutes, the power will turn off automatically in order to conserve the batteries.
To reset the LCD display, press the on/reset button.
Inspect and tighten all parts of the AIR WALKER reg­ularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
The AIR WALKER can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Keep liquids away from the electronic monitor. Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight or the display may be damaged. Remove the batteries when storing the AIR WALKER.
REPLACING THE BATTERIES
If the display of the electronic monitor becomes dim, or if the monitor does not function properly, the batter­ies should be replaced. To replace the batteries, first lift the monitor from the crossbar cover (see assembly step 4 on page 5). Make sure that the reed switch wire is fully connected to the wire on the monitor. To replace the batteries, refer to assembly step 3 on page 4.
HOW TO FOLD THE AIR WALKER FOR STORAGE
When the AIR WALKER is not in use, it can be folded for storage. To fold the AIR WALKER, first remove the lock knob from the left leg. Next, move to the front of the AIR WALKER and place one foot on the round tube. Firmly grasp the frame with your hands in the locations indicated below. While holding the round tube stationary with your foot, pull the top of the AIR WALKER toward you until the uprights fold against the frame. Place the AIR WALKER in a location
where it cannot fall.

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 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.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). Next, look above your age and find the three numbers in light grey boxes. The three numbers are your Òtraining zone.Ó The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for fat burning; the middle number is the recommended heart rate for maximum 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 ener-
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 your pace until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone as you exercise. It may also be helpful to set the dials on the resistance cylinders at level 1, 2, 3, or 4.
For maximum fat burning, adjust your pace 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 Òaerobic.Ó 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 your pace until your heart rate is near the high­est number in your training zone. It may also be help­ful to set the dials on the resistance cylinders at level 5, 6, 7, or 8.
Strength Training
To strengthen and tone your muscles, you must exer­cise your muscles at a moderate to high percentage of their capacity. Set the dials on the resistance cylinders at level 9, 10, 11, or 12.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart rate, first exercise for at least four minutes. Then, stop exercising and place two fin­gers on your wrist as shown. Take a six-second heartbeat count, and multiply the result by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. (A six­second count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop exercising.)
Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is at the desired level. You can adjust the intensity of your exercise by adjusting the resistance or by changing your pace.
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.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, lasting 5 to 10 minutes. Begin with slow, controlled stretches, and progress to more rhythmic stretches to increase the body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for strenuous exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min­utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone.
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Thorough stretching helps to offset problems caused
when you stop exercising suddenly. Stretching for increased flexibility is also most effective after exercis­ing. A proper cool-down should leave you relaxed and comfortably tired.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan 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.
Remember, the key to success is make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
