3. Begin exercising and follow your progress with
the display.
As you exercise, the console will provide instant
exercise feedback.
4. Reset the console, if desired.
To reset the console display, press and hold the
console button for several seconds until zeros
appear in the display.
5. When you are fi nished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
Count—This mode displays the number of repetitions
completed during the current workout.
Calorie—This mode displays the approximate number
of calories burned.
Reps/Min—This mode displays the number of repetitions being completed per minute.
HOW TO USE THE CONSOLE
Note: Make sure that a battery is installed (see assembly step 9 on page 9). If there is a sheet of clear
plastic on the display, remove the plastic.
1. Turn on the console.
Press the console button or begin exercising to
turn on the console.
2. Select a mode for display.

HOW TO USE THE ABDOMINAL EXERCISER
The abdominal exerciser can be used with the pivot
frame locked or unlocked (see HOW TO LOCK THE
PIVOT FRAME on page 11). In addition, the abdominal exerciser can be used with the knee pad locked
or unlocked (see HOW TO LOCK THE KNEE PAD on
page 11).
With the pivot frame and the knee pad unlocked,
the pivot frame can swivel from side to side and the
knee pad can move forward and backward. To exercise, use your core muscles to swivel the pivot frame
from side to side and/or to move the knee pad forward
and backward.
With the pivot frame locked and the knee pad
unlocked, the pivot frame will not swivel from side to
side, but the knee pad will move forward and backward. To exercise, use your core muscles to move the
knee pad forward and backward.
With the pivot frame unlocked and the knee pad
locked, the pivot frame can swivel from side to side,
but the knee pad will not move forward and backward.
To exercise, use your core muscles to swivel the pivot
frame from side to side.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons
over age 35 or persons with pre-existing
health problems.
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the highest number in your training
zone.
These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
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, exercising at the proper intensity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart
rate, 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.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-
ing and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise—never hold your breath.
Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles
and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-
cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
body uses 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 exercise until your
heart rate is near the lowest number in your training
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your
heart rate near the middle number in your training
zone.
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. Remember, the key to success is to make
exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday
life.
