WARNING:To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-

tions before using the elliptical exerciser.

. Read all instructions in this manual and all

warnings on the elliptical exerciser before using the elliptical exerciser. Use the elliptical exerciser only as described in this manual.

0. 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.

2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the elliptical exerciser are adequately informed of all precautions.

3. The elliptical exerciser is intended for home use only. Do not use the elliptical exerciser in a commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

4. Keep the elliptical exerciser indoors, away from moisture and dust. Place the elliptical exerciser on a level surface, with a mat beneath it to protect the floor or carpet. Make sure that there is enough clearance around the elliptical exerciser to mount, dismount, and use it.

5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

6. Keep children under 12 and pets away from the elliptical exerciser at all times.

7. The elliptical exerciser should not be used by persons weighing more than 250 pounds.

11. Keep your back straight while using the elliptical exerciser; do not arch your back.

12. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising, stop immediately and cool down.

13. When you stop exercising, allow the pedals to slowly come to a stop.

14. The decal shown below has been placed on the elliptical exerciser. If the decal is missing, or if it is not legible, call the toll-free telephone number on the front cover of this manual and order a free replacement decal. Apply the decal in the location shown.

8. Wear appropriate exercise clothes while using the elliptical exerciser. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protection while exer cising.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handgrip

ulse sensor and step onto the pedal that is in the low-

p est position. Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous motion. Note: The pedal disks can turn in either

direction. It is recommended that you move the pedal disks in the direction shown by the arrow below; however, for variety, you can turn the pedal disks in the opposite direction.

HOW TO USE THE HANDLEBARS

The handlebars are designed to add

u cise to your workouts. Push and pull the handlebars as you exercise to work your arms, shoulders, and back.

To exercise only your lower body, hold the handgrip pulse sensor as you exercise.

HOW TO ADJUST THE STRIDE OF THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

To adjust the stride of the elliptical exerciser, first pull one of the adjustment knobs until the adjustment bracket can be pivoted freely. Then, pivot the adjustment bracket until the adjustment knob is aligned with either of the two holes in the crank arm, and gently release the knob. Pivot the adjustment bracket back and forth slightly to make sure that the adjustment pin is engaged in one of the holes. Adjust the other side of the elliptical exerciser in the same way.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

This advanced console offers a selection of features designed to make your workouts more effective. When you use the manual mode of the console, you can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch of a button. As you pedal, the console will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the built-in handgrip pulse sensor.

The console features two heart rate programs that allow you to enter target heart rate settings. The programs help you maintain the target heart rate by automatically changing the resistance of the pedals and prompting you to maintain your pedaling pace.

The console also offers two preset programs that automatically change the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to vary your pedaling pace while guiding you through an effective workout.

Two calorie goal programs are designed to help you burn 250 or 350 calories. You can exercise at your desired pace and resistance level while the program counts down the calories you burn until you reach the goal.

To use the manual mode of the console, see the instructions at the right. T see page 12. T

The lower half of the display will show your pedaling speed, in revolutions per minute (RPM), and the approximate number of calories you have burned. The display will change modes every few seconds. The lower half of the display will also show your heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5).

Measure your heart rate if desired.

If there are sheets of clear plastic on the metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, remove the plastic. Next, hold the

handgrip pulse sensor with your palms resting on the contacts. When your pulse is detected, the heart-shaped indicator in the lower half of the display will flash each time your heart beats, and then your heart rate will appear in the display.

For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the handgrip pulse sensor for about 30 seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the handgrip pulse sensor, the display will show your heart rate for about 30 seconds. The display will then show your heart rate along with the other modes.

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.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If the console display becomes dim, the batteries should be replaced; most console problems are the result of low batteries. See assembly step 5 on page 7 for replacement instructions.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

WARNING:

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

ially important for persons over the age of 35

c or persons with pre-existing health problems.

During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored 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 as you exercise.

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 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.

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.
