CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for several years or are severely overweight, start slowly and increase your workout time gradually. Increase your workout intensity gradually by monitoring your heart rate while you exercise.

Remember to follow these essentials:

Have your doctor review your training and diet programs. Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your physician. Warm up before you exercise and cool down after you work out.

Take your pulse periodically during your workout and strive to stay within a range of 60% (lower

intensity) to 90% (higher intensity) of your maximum heart rate zone. Start at the lower intensity, and build up to higher intensity as you become more aerobically t.

If you feel dizzy or lightheaded you should slow down or stop exercising.

Initially you may only be able to exercise within your target zone for a few minutes; however, your aerobic

capacity will improve over the next six to eight weeks. It is important to pace yourself while you exercise so you don't tire too quickly.

To determine if you are working out at the correct intensity, use a heart rate monitor or use the table

below. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be maintained at a level between 60% and 90% of your maximum heart rate. If just starting an exercise program, work out at the low end of

your target heart rate zone. As your aerobic capacity improves, gradually increase the intensity of your workout by increasing your heart rate.

Measure your heart rate periodically during your workout by stopping the exercise but continuing to move your legs or walk around. Place two or three ngers on your wrist and take a six second heartbeat count. Multiply the results by ten to nd 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. Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is at the proper level.

GETTING STARTED

I’m looking forward to workout out with you on you new

MiniStriderX

Your package includes:

MiniStriderX

The

, Owner’s Assembly & Workout Guide to help you assemble and use your unit

correctly plus my Energy Boost Workout DVD with ve, 7 to 10 minute workouts conveniently located on

one DVD!

After assembling your

MiniStriderX

place it in front of a chair or sofa or under a desk on a mat or

carpet. Make you have plenty of room to stride back and forth and side to side. Please read all the safety

instructions in this manual and review all the proper workout instructions. Then, when you’re ready to start, load up the Energy Boost DVD and follow the workout to start exercising in the comfort of your own easy chair! Each of the Energy Boost Workouts are designed to get you striding and your heart pumping while you relieve stress and tone your upper body, lower body, abs and core. If possible, work out with me at least 5 days a week.

I suggest that you start with the “Energy Boost/Stress Relief Workout”. It combines lower-body striding

with long, slow upper body stretches to help reduce stress and tension in your neck, shoulders and back.

Next, try my “Lower Body Strider Workout” to get your leg muscles into action! This workout shows you

how the MiniStrider’s ball and joint action mimics the natural movement of your hip joints so you can

target and tone your outer thighs, inner thighs, quadriceps, hamstrings and hips, all while sitting down!

My next workout is called the “Upper Body Strider Workout.” You’ll keep your legs striding as I show you how to bring your upper body into the workout to rm and sculpt your shoulders, chest, back and arms. I recommend that you add light hand weights or try my 1 Pound Weighted Gloves for even quicker toning results! (Gloves not included, but can be purchase separately at brendadygraf.com)

Then, when you’re ready to develop a stronger core and tighter abs, follow the “Ab Strider Workout.” I created this workout to help elevate your heart rate while tightening abs and obliques with seated abdominal crunches.

Plus there’s more! For a fun workout follow along with my “Fun Groove Strider Workout.” It’s guaranteed

to get you striding and dancing in your seat!

Remember, if you’re looking to lose weight, it’s essential to reduce your daily fat and calorie consumption. Drink plenty of water and make sure you have enough lean protein and complex carbs in your daily diet.

C’mon, let’s get healthier together!

Thank you for choosing me to be your personal trainer!

USING YOUR MiniStriderX

UNFOLDING THE MINI STRIDER AFTER ASSEMBLY

Remove the LOCKING PIN(25) from the FRONT SUPPORT(2). Unfold the FRONT SUPPORT(2) to the use position and lock in place with the LOCKING PIN(25). Attach PEDAL CAPS(19) to the SWING ARMS(17). If at anytime you notice the LOCKING PIN(25) slipping out, stop exercising immediately and place pin back in the hole.

ANTI-SLIP FOOT PEDALS

The Mini Strider’s foot pedals feature an anti-slip surface. Always place both feet on the

MiniStriderX

while working out and periodically look down at the position of your feet to make sure that your feet are in the center of each pedal.

HOW TO STRIDE

Positon your

MiniStriderX

on the oor in front of a chair. The FRONT SUPPORT(2) should be facing

away from your body.

Next, place your dominant foot (if you are right handed your right foot is usually your dominant foot) on the right foot pedal. Then place your non-dominant foot on the opposite pedal. Once both of your feet are on the pedals, push your dominant foot forward and your non-dominant foot

backwards. Continue to stride your feet back and forth.

Do not push your foot too far forward so that it locks out your knee since this could cause your Mini

Strider to tip forward.

Then when you’re ready, you can perform a Skating Pattern, Circles and Side Extensions to work your legs in a 360 degree motion. Please see the exercise section of this manual for learn how to perform

these exercises.

MiniStriderXTM WORKOUT GUIDE

WARM-UP

The purpose of warm-up up is to prepare your body for exercise and to minimize injuries. Since the

MiniStriderX

is virtually a non-impact, non- jarring workout, you can either warm up by striding on your Mini Strider at a slow speed or by performing light activities that raise your heart rate and warm up your muscles. Activities may include walking in place or standing low-impact knee lifts where you alternatively

bring one knee to your waist. It is also a good idea to perform a lower back stretch by placing both hands

on the top of both thighs and arch your back for 20 seconds, then atten your back for 20 seconds.

Repeat this movement 4 times.

As you workout on the

MiniStriderX

make sure follow these simple, but important rules:

• Always be in control of each and every movement

• Always have your feet in the center of the anti-slip pedal

• If at anytime you feel the Mini Slider slide while you’re exercising, stop exercising and reposition the Mini Strider.

• If at anytime you are performing large leg movements and notice that the MiniStrider feels wobbly

to the point of tipping over, remove your feet from the pedals and stop exercising immediately. If the

MiniStrider tips over, keep your feet free from the direction it is tilting and allow the MiniStrider to fall.

Then pick it up, reposition it in front of you and begin striding again using control.

movement in your tricep muscle (the upper rear portion of your arm). Never extend your legs all the way forward, but instead keep your knees exible. Continue to move your legs forward and backwards with one arm in motion for 10 reps and then repeat the same lower body movement with the opposite arm for 10 reps.

COOL DOWN STRETCH

Lower Body Stretch

Place feet shoulder-width

apart and lean forward.

Keep this position for 30

seconds using the body as a natural weight to stretch the backs of the legs. DO NOT BOUNCE! When the pull on the back of the legs lessens, gradually try a lower position.

Bent Torso Pulls

While sitting on the oor,

have legs apart, one leg straight and one knee bent.

Pull the chest down to

touch the thigh on the leg that is bent, and twist at the waist. Hold this position at

least 10 seconds. Repeat 10 times on each side.

Floor Stretch

While sitting on the oor,

open the legs as wide as possible. Stretch the upper body toward the knee on the right leg by using your arms to pull your chest to your thighs. Hold this

stretch 10 to 30 seconds.

DO NOT BOUNCE!

Do this stretch 10 times.

Repeat the stretch with the left leg.

Bent Over Leg Stretch

Stand with feet shoulder-

width apart and lean forward as illustrated. Using the arms, gently pull the upper body towards the right leg. Let the head hang down. DO NOT BOUNCE! Hold the position a

minimum of 10 seconds.

Repeat pulling the upper body to the left leg. Do this stretch several times slowly.
