exercising with your cross trainer
Always consult your doctor
before undertaking a new
!
exercise regime
Starting your workout
Begin and end each workout with a Warm Up / Down session – a few minutes
of stretching to help prevent strains, pulls and cramps
Make sure the nearest footplate to you is in the lowest position
•
Grasp the handlebars securely with both hands
•
Step on - put your feet into the pedals one by one
•
Your body should be centred over the pedals
•
Begin to stride, follow the rhythm of the machine
•
Correct exercising form
Stand tall and straight. Don’t slump - it will put unnecessary
•
strain on your back and will result in less eective toning
in the leg muscles. Make sure the machine is adjusted
properly for your height so that you don’t have to slouch
to reach the handlebars. Similarly, you should not be
leaning on the handles or gripping them too tightly.
Stay relaxed. Keep your shoulders, arms, legs and hips loose
•
and unlocked while using a cross trainer. Tension could
lead to injury and will almost certainly make you sore.
All over body workout!
For an all over body workout keep your hands on the moving arms
•
To only work the lower body place the
•
hands on the xed handlebars
To put the emphasis on the upper body push with
•
your arms on the moving arms and reduce the
amount of eort you are using with your legs
To work dierent muscles in your legs, try going in reverse
•
If you experience nausea, dizziness or other abnormal
symptoms during exercise, stop at once and consult
your doctor
Finishing your workout
Slow your elliptical motion to a gradual stop
•
Take your feet o the footplates one at a time
•
End each workout with a Warm Down session – a few minutes
of stretching to help prevent strains, pulls and cramps
How long should I exercise for?
That really depends on your current level of tness. If you’re just starting out on a new exercise program, you should start gradually and build
up - do not try to do too much too quickly. 30 minutes, 3 times a week should be enough. Don’t push yourself too hard - you should never
feel exhausted during or following exercise.
Heart Rate Training
To get the most out of your new piece of tness equipment and see
the best results from your training you should exercise at the right
level of eort, and that means listening to your heart! Working out
to a target heart rate means you can direct your workout to achieve
dierent goals:
Good health - For those wishing to improve quality of life and
general well being. Your sessions will need to be done at an
intensity of between 50-60% of your estimated maximum heart
rate, should last about 30 minutes and can be done on most
days of the week.
Weight loss – To see a signicant reduction in body fat, your
sessions must be a little more intense - between 60 and 70% of
your estimated maximum heart rate. These sessions can also be
performed on most days of the week for up to 30 minutes.
Improving Fitness levels –These sessions should be performed
at 70-80% of your estimated maximum heart rate and can also
involve bouts of interval training that would have your heart
rate peaking for short times near your maximum heart rate level.
These are intense sessions and will require at least a 48 hour rest
between sessions.
12
Calculating your target heart rate
First, you need to nd your estimated maximum heart rate using the
formula 220 minus your age in years. So, if you are 35 years old your
estimated maximum hear rate is:
220 - 35 = 185 beats per minutes (bpm)
Next, to calculate your target heart rate, simply multiply your estimated
maximum heart rate (185bpm) by the applicable percentage. So, if your
goal is better heath:
185 x 60% = 111bpm
NOTE: The important issue to remember with all
estimated calculations is that they are just estimates
– if you don’t feel comfortable exercising at your
!
NOTE: Heat rate training requires you to monitor your heart rate
throughout the workout. For this we recommend using a chest strap
(if your machine has a wireless receiver) or a heart rate monitor.

target then reduce it to a level you are
comfortable with.
cross trainer features explained
Adjusting the resistance
This cross trainer features a speed independent braking
(resistance) system. The resistance is controlled by a magnet,
which is moved closer or further away from the ywheel – the
closer the magnet is to the ywheel the higher the resistance.
The magnet is controlled manually, by twisting the dial. The
resistance levels go from 1 = easy to 8 = hard
Levelling your cross trainer
To help you level the cross trainer on uneven surfaces, 2 height
adjusters are included on the rear stabilisers. Simply twist these
around to adjust the height of the cross trainer.
Transporting your cross trainer
Your cross trainer has 2 transport wheels to help you move it around.
To engage the wheels, tilt the cross trainer towards you with the
handle bars and then using the handlebars push the cross trainer to
your desired location.
Monitoring your heart rate
This cross trainer is tted with 2 hand pulse sensors. To obtain a
pulse reading you must have both your left and right hand on the
sensors at the same time. Do not grip the hand sensors too tight and
allow the computer a few seconds to display the reading.
Some people may not be able to obtain an
accurate hand pulse reading due to variations in
!
circulation.

Adjusting the stride pattern
You can change the position of the footplates to match the elliptical
motion more closely to your individual requirements:
1. Remove the footplate by unscrewing the hand wheel underneath
2. Remove the bolts
3. Re-position the footplate into one of the 3 sets of holes
4. Re-position the bolts and tighten with the hand wheel
5. Make sure both the left and right footplate are in the same hole position
Fitness test
Measures how quickly your heart rate returns to normal after exercise – it’s a
great way of measuring your tness level and tracking your progress over time.
When you have completed your workout:
1. Press the ‘t test’ button
2. Place both hands on the hand pulse sensors
3. Time will count down from 1:00 to 0:00
4. A result will be displayed between F1 and F6
F1 is the best and means your heart rate recovers quickly after exercise – you are very t
F6 is the worst and means your heart rate recovers slowly after exercise – you are unt

how to take care of your cross trainer
Storage
Keep the equipment in a dry place
with as little temperature variation
as possible. Try to protect from dust
and always unplug when not in use
(if applicable).
Cleaning
Use a warm, damp cloth to wipe the surfaces.
Mild detergent may be used if necessary.
Never remove the protective
!
casing.
Maintenance
Ensure you regularly check components for
wear and make sure all the nuts and bolts are
tightened before each exercise session.
Troubleshooting
If you have a problem with your equipment, before you do anything else please check that all the cables
have been connected correctly. Loose cables are very common and many problems can be solved by
making sure the cables are properly connected
!
If you are having problems with your heart rate reading please
note that some bres used in clothes eg) polyester, create static
electricity that may prevent a reliable heart rate reading. Mobile
phones, TV’s, microwaves and other electrical appliances that
generate an electromagnetic eld may also interfere with heart rate
measurement.
