HOW TO USE THE EASY STRIDE
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE EASY STRIDE
Make sure that the storage knob and lock washer are tightened into the left leg. Hold the crossbar and step onto the pedals. The proper form for exercising on the EASY STRIDE is similar to the motion of walkingÑ move one leg forward as you move the other leg back.
For a full body workout, hold the handles as you walk, and move your arms and legs in motion with the handles and pedals. To vary the effect of the exercise on your muscles, bend your legs slightly instead of keeping them straight.
For a lower body workout, hold the crossbar for balance as you move the pedals.
CAUTION: When you are getting onto and off the EASY STRIDE, always hold the crossbar and center your body weight directly over the pedals.
Inspect and tighten all parts of the EASY STRIDE regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately. To clean the EASY STRIDE, use a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Never use abrasives or solvents.
HOW TO FOLD THE EASY STRIDE FOR STORAGE
When the EASY STRIDE is not in use, it can be folded for compact storage. To fold the EASY STRIDE, first remove the storage knob and lock washer from the left leg (see the inset drawing). Next, stand in front of the EASY STRIDE and hold the crossbar. Tip the crossbar toward yourself until the uprights fold against the frame. Store the EASY
STRIDE in a location where it cannot fall.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following general guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and 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 near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). Next, look above your age and find the three numbers in light grey boxes. The three numbers are your Òtraining zone.Ó 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 your exercise pace until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone as you exercise.
Maximum Fat Burning
For increased fat burning, adjust your pace until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be Òaerobic.Ó 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 your pace until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone as you exercise.
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.)
Adjust your exercise pace until your heart rate is at the desired level.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three important parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases the
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.

Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone.
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Thorough stretching helps to prevent problems caused when you stop exercising suddenly. Stretching after exercise is also very effective for increasing flexibility. A proper cool-down should leave you feeling relaxed and comfortably tired.
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 complete 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.
