HOW TO USE THE AIR WALKER XT

CAUTION: When mounting or dismounting the AIR WALKER XT, hold the frame beside the hip pad and center your weight over the pedals.

CAUTION: When using the AIR WALKER XT, always hold the handles or place your hands on the frame beside the hip pad.

CAUTION: When using the independent mode, hold the frame beside the hip pad and be careful to control your movement and maintain your balance at all times.

The unique AIR WALKER XT can be used in either the dependent mode or the independent mode. In the dependent mode, as one pedal moves forward, the other pedal moves backward an equal distance. In the independent mode, the pedals move indepen- dently of each other, allowing for a freer movement.

HOW TO USE THE DEPENDENT MODE

Make sure that the lock knob is tightened into the left leg and link plate. Adjust the resistance to a high setting (see RESISTANCE ADJUSTMENT at the right). Hold the handles and step onto the pedals. The proper form for exercising on the AIR WALKER XT 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 handles and pedals. To vary the effect of the exercise, change your stance on the AIR WALKER XT by bending 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.

HOW TO USE THE INDEPENDENT MODE

Remove the lock knob and washers from the left leg. Keep the lock knob and washers in a secure place.

Adjust the resistance to a high setting, hold the frame, and step onto the pedals. Exercise as described above. CAUTION: When using the inde- pendent mode, hold the frame beside the hip pad and be careful to control your movement and maintain your balance at all times.

RESISTANCE ADJUSTMENT

To vary the intensity of your workout, the resistance of the AIR WALKER XT can be adjusted. CAUTION: Do not adjust the resistance while you are standing on the AIR WALKER XT. Always dismount the AIR WALKER XT before adjusting the resistance. To adjust the resistance, turn the resistance dials on the resistance cylinders. There are twelve different resis- tance levels. Arrows on the resistance cylinders will show which resistance level is selected. Select the same resistance level on both cylinders.
