HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL

Contacts

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER

To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the upper body
arms and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest
position. Then, step onto the other pedal. Push the
pedals until they begin to move with a continuous
motion.

Note: The pedal discs can turn in either direction. It is
recommended that you move the pedal discs in the
direction shown by the arrow;
however, for variety, you may turn the pedal discs
in the opposite direction.

The upper body arms are designed to add upper­body exercise to your workouts. As you exercise,
push and pull the upper body arms to work your
arms, shoulders, and back. To focus on lower-body
exercise, hold the upper body arms but do not push
or pull them as you exercise.

MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE IF DESIRED

You can measure you heart rate using either the
handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse
sensor.
Note: If you hold the handgrip pulse sensor and
wear the chest pulse sensor at the same time, the
console will not display your heart rate accurately.
If there are sheets of clear plastic on the metal
contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, remove
the plastic. In addition, make sure that your hands
are clean. To measure your heart rate, hold the
handgrip pulse sensor with your palms resting
against the metal contacts. Avoid moving your
hands or gripping the contacts tightly.

To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the
pedals come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical
exerciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals

will continue to move until the ywheel stops.

When the pedals are stationary, step off the highest

pedal rst. Then, step off the lower pedal.

When you are nished exercising

If the pedals do not move for several minutes and
the buttons are not pressed, the console will turn
off and the display will be resetéconomies des piles.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

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.
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.

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 nd the proper intensity

level. The chart below shows recommended heart
rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.

Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer­cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of

time. During the rst few minutes of exercise, your

body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only af-

ter the rst 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.

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.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching

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 rst 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.

To nd the proper intensity level, nd your age at the

bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near­est ten years). The three numbers listed above your

age dene 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.

Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of

stretching. Stretching increases the exibility of your

muscles and helps 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 ex-

ercise, you may complete up to ve workouts each

week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.

10

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.
Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from
your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach
down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,
then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of
knees, and back.

2. Hamstring Stretch

Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot
toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended
leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches:
Hamstrings, lower back, and groin.

3. Calf/Achilles Stretch

With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your
hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back

foot at on the oor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move

your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat
3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles
tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles
tendons, and ankles.
