HOW TO USE THE STEPPER
OW TO EXERCISE ON THE STEPPER
H
Place the stepper on a level surface, with a mat beneath it. Note: The stepper features precision
ydraulic cylinders. There is a possibility of slight oil
h leakage due to the nature of hydraulic cylinders.
Hold the handlebars and step onto the pedals. Begin stepping, alternately pushing down the right and left pedals with a smooth, continuous motion. Because the pedals move independently, you must maintain a con­tinuous motion or both pedals will sink to the floor. Adjust your pace or the height of your step until you can comfortably maintain a continuous motion.
To exercise your upper leg muscles, keep your feet flat on the pedals as you step. To focus on your calf mus­cles, rise on your toes as you step. Stand erect or lean forward slightly as you exercise; always keep your back straight to avoid injury.
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE
To change the stepping resistance, first lift the right and left pedal legs off the hooks on the lower ends of the resistance cylinders. Move the hooks to different slots under the pedal legs. Make sure that the hooks
are fully inserted into the same slots under both pedal legs. The farther the hooks are from the upright,
the greater the resistance will be.

If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the console, remove the plastic. To turn on the console, press the
ODE/RESET button or begin stepping.
M
As you step, the upper half of the display will show the total number of steps you have completed. A mode arrow will point to the letters “STPS.”
The lower half of the display will show the elapsed time, the approximate number of calories you have burned, and your stepping speed, changing from one mode to the next every few seconds. One mode arrow will point to the word “SCAN,” and a second mode arrow will point to the letters “TIME,” “CAL,” or “STPS/MIN.”

To view one mode continuously in the lower half of the display, press the MODE/RESET button until there is a mode arrow pointing to the letters “TIME,” “CAL,” or “STPS/MIN” but no mode arrow pointing to the word “SCAN.” To view all three modes again, press the but­ton until there is a mode arrow pointing to the word “SCAN.”
To reset the display, press the MODE/RESET button for about two seconds.
If the pedals are not moved and the MODE/RESET button is not pressed for a few seconds, the word “STOP” will appear in the left side of the display. If the pedals are not moved and the button is not pressed for a few minutes, the console will turn off.

To prevent damage to the console, keep liquids away from the console and keep the console out of direct sunlight.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The console requires one type-LR44 watch battery. To replace the battery, gently pry off the top of the con­sole. Remove the old battery from the holder and insert a new battery in the same position. Press the top of the console back into place.

If the console still does not function properly, the Reed Switch (12) should be adjusted. Raise or lower the Right Pedal Leg (7) until the Magnet (26) is aligned with the Reed Switch (12). Refer to the inset drawing. Slide the Reed Switch (12) in or out slightly. The gap between the Reed Switch and the Magnet should be about 1/8”. Make sure that the Magnet will not hit the Reed Switch when the Pedal Leg is moved. Repeat until the con­sole displays correct feedback.

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.
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.
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.
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num­ber in your training zone as you exercise. For maxi­mum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise
ntil your heart rate is near the middle number in your
u 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.
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.)
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age at the bottom line 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 lowest number is the recommended heart rate for fat burning; the middle number is the recom­mended heart rate for maximum 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. 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
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.
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.
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 work-
uts each week, with at least one day of rest between
o
workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is make exer-
ise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
