HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL GLIDER
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL GLIDER
To mount the elliptical glider, firmly hold the handlebars and carefully step onto the pedal that is in the
lowest position. Next, step onto the other pedal. Push
the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous
motion. Note: The pedals can turn in either direc-
tion. It is recommended that you turn the pedals
in the direction shown below; however, to give
variety to your exercise, you may choose to turn
the pedals in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical glider, allow the pedals to
come to a complete stop. CAUTION: The elliptical
glider does not have a free wheel; the pedals will
continue to move until the flywheel stops. When
the pedals are stationary, step off the highest pedal
first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE
PEDALS
As you exercise,
you can adjust the
resistance of the
pedals with the
resistance knob.
To increase the
resistance, turn
the knob clockwise; to decrease
the resistance,
turn the knob
counterclockwise.

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 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.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
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 smallest number is the recommended
heart rate for fat burning; the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning; the largest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Burning Fat
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a low
intensity level for a sustained period of time. During
the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible
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 smallest number in your
training zone as you exercise. For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the middle number.
Aerobic Exercise
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 largest number in your training zone.
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 six-second
count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly
when you stop exercising.)
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise (see page 13). Aproper warm-up
increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30
minutes of exercising 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.)
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
This will increase the flexibility of your muscles
and will help to prevent post-exercise problems.
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 plan 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.
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.

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 flat on the floor. 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.
4. Quadriceps Stretch
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp
one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your
buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3
times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
5. Inner Thigh Stretch
Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.
Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for
15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps
and hip muscles.
