HOW TO USE THE AIR WALKER
EXERCISING ON THE AIR WALKER
The proper form for exercising on the AIR WALKER is similar to walkingÑmove one leg forward as you move the other leg back. Never attempt to move
both legs in the same directionÑyou could be injured, or the AIR WALKER could be damaged.
For a full body workout, hold the handles as you walk, moving your arms and legs in motion with the handles and pedals. To vary the effect on your muscles, change your stance on the AIR WALKER. For exam­ple, you can change the position of your hands on the handles, or you can bend your legs slightly instead of keeping them straight.
For a lower body workout, rest your hands on the edge of the console for balance as you walk on the pedals. Note: Do not lean on the console. It is not
designed to support your body weight.
RESISTANCE ADJUSTMENT
To vary the intensity of your workout, the resistance of the AIR WALKER can be changed. To increase the resistance, turn both resistance knobs clockwise. To decrease the resistance, turn the resistance knobs counterclockwise.
ELECTRONIC MONITOR MODES
The simple-to-operate electronic monitor offers five different modes to provide instant exercise feedback. The five modes are described below:
Reps/minÑDisplays the number of repetitions you
are performing per minute.
RepsÑDisplays 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.
Scan AllÑDisplays the reps/min, reps, calories, and time modes, for approximately 5 seconds each, in a repeating cycle.
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.
DIAGRAM OF THE ELECTRONIC MONITOR
1. LCD displayÑDisplays all modes.
2. Mode indicatorsÑShow which mode has been selected.

OPERATING THE ELECTRONIC MONITOR
1. To turn on the power, press the on/clear 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 all modeÑWhen the power is turned on, the scan all mode will be selected automatically. The scan all mode can also be selected by repeatedly pressing the mode button. One mode indicator will show that the scan all mode has been selected, and a second mode indicator will show which mode is currently displayed.
Reps/min, reps, calories, or time modeÑThese 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 all mode is not selected.) The modes will be selected in the following order: reps/min, reps, calories, scan all, time.
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/clear button.
MAINTENANCE
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.
ELECTRONIC MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
If the electronic monitor will not turn on, the batteries should be checked. Using a coin, pry up the front of the monitor and remove it from the console (see figure 1).
See figure 2. If there is a gap between the positive (+) ends of the batteries and the metal contacts, the monitor will not turn on. Push the
batteries to make sure that the posi­tive ends are touching the metal contacts.
See figure 3. Make sure that the reed switch wire is plugged into the monitor; insert any excess wire into the console. Snap the monitor into the con­sole. Make sure that the wire is not pinched between the monitor and the console.
If the electronic monitor still does not function proper­ly, the batteries should be replaced. Two ÒAAÓ batter­ies are required; alkaline batteries are recommended. Remove the two old batteries from the monitor, and insert two new batteries. Make sure that the nega-
tive (Ð) ends of the batteries are touching the springs, and that the positive (+) ends of the bat­teries are pushed against the metal contacts.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
WHY EXERCISE?
Exercise has proven essential for good health and general well-being. Regular participation in a well­rounded exercise program helps to develop a stronger and more efficient heart, improved respiratory function, increased stamina and endurance, better weight man­agement and body fat control, increased ability to deal with stress, and greater self-esteem and confidence.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper inten­sity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be maintained at a level between 70% and 85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise. This is known as your training zone. You can find your training zone in the table below. Training zones are listed according to age and physical condition.
During the first few months of your exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low end of your training zone as you exercise. After a few months of regular exercise, your heart rate can be increased gradually until it is near the middle of your training zone as you exercise.
To measure your heart rate, stop exercising and place two fingers on your wrist. Take a six-second heartbeat count, and multiply the result by ten to find your heart rate. (A six-second count is used because your heart rate drops quickly when you stop exercising.) If your heart rate is too high, decrease the intensity of your exercise. If your heart rate is too low, increase the intensity of your exercise.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
A well-rounded workout includes the following three phases:
A warm-up phase, lasting 5 to 10 minutes. Begin with slow, controlled stretches, and progress to more rhyth­mic stretches. This will increase the body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for strenuous exercise.
A cardiovascular phase, including 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone.
A cool-down phase, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Thorough stretching offsets muscle con­tractions and other problems caused when you stop exercising suddenly. Stretching for increased flexibility is often most effective during this phase. This phase should leave you relaxed and comfortably tired.
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. Find the best time of day for your workouts, and then stick with it.
Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
