EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handlebar and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest position. Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous motion. Note:
The pedal disks can turn in either direction. It is recommended that you move the pedal disks in the direction shown by the arrow below; however, to give variety to your exercise, you may choose to turn the pedal disks in the opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the pedals come to a complete stop. CAUTION: The ellip- tical crosstrainer does not have a freewheel; the pedals will continue to move until the flywheel stops. When the pedals are stationary, step off the highest pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and effective. When the console is in the manual mode, the incline and resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer can be adjusted with a touch of a button. As you exer- cise, the LED matrix and displays will provide continu- ous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the
The console also offers ten preset workout programs: four incline programs automatically control the incline of the elliptical crosstrainer as they guide you through effective workouts, four resistance programs automati- cally control the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer, and two combination programs control both the incline and the resistance during your workouts.
Note: The console can display distance and speed in either miles or kilometers (see step 4 on page 8). For simplicity, all instructions in this section refer to miles.
