HOW to USE the AIR Strider, Resistance Adjustment

HOW TO USE THE AIR STRIDER

CAUTION: When you are getting onto and off the AIR STRIDER, always tighten the resis- tance dials, hold the handles firmly, and be sure that your body weight is centered direct- ly over the pedals.

EXERCISING ON THE AIR STRIDER

Make sure that the lock knob is tightened into the right leg and pivot bracket (see assembly step 10 on page 8). Tighten the resistance dials, hold the han- dles, and step onto the pedals. The proper form for exercising on the AIR STRIDER is similar to the motion of walkingÑmove 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 han- dles and pedals. To vary the effect of the exercise on your muscles, change your stance on the AIR STRIDER. For example, stand erect or lean against the hip pad, change the position of your hands on the handles, or bend your legs slightly instead of keeping them straight.

For a lower body workout, rest your hands on the frame for balance as you move the pedals.

RESISTANCE ADJUSTMENT

To vary the intensity of your workout, the resistance of the AIR STRIDER can be changed. To increase the resistance, turn the resistance dials clockwise. To decrease the resistance, turn the resistance dials counterclockwise.

ELECTRONIC MONITOR MODES

The simple-to-operate electronic monitor offers five different modes to provide instant exercise feedback. The five modes are described below:

SpeedÑDisplays the number of repetitions you are performing per minute.

TimeÑDisplays the length of time you have exer- cised. Note: If you stop exercising for ten seconds or longer, the time mode will pause until you resume.

DistanceÑDisplays the total number of repetitions you have completed, up to Ò999.Ó The display will then reset to Ò0Ó and continue counting.

CaloriesÑDisplays the approximate number of Calories you have burned. Note: If the resistance is near the highest or lowest setting, the actual number of Calories you have burned will be slightly higher or lower than the number displayed.

ScanÑDisplays the speed, time, distance, and calo- ries modes, for approximately 5 seconds each,

in a repeating cycle.
