HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE

To mount the elliptical trainer, firmly hold the handle- bars or the T-handle and carefully 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 turn the pedal disks in the direction shown below; however, to give variety to your exercise, you may choose to turn the pedal disks in the opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical trainer, allow the pedals to come to a complete stop. CAUTION: The elliptical trainer does not have a free wheel; 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.

As you exercise,

you can adjust the resistance of

the pedals with

the resistance

The innovative console offers a manual mode and three personal coach pace programs. The pace pro- grams are designed to help you achieve specific exer- cise goals by pacing your exercise. You can choose from a stamina-building interval program, an aerobic program, and a special fat burning program. The con- sole also features six modes that display instant exer- cise feedback. The modes are described below:

CaloriesÑThis mode shows the approximate number of calories you have burned.

Fat CaloriesÑThis mode shows the approximate number of fat calories you have burned (see Burning Fat on page 12).

TimeÑIf you select the manual mode, this mode will show the elapsed time. If you select one of the three pace programs, this mode will count down the time remaining in the program. Note: When you stop exer- cising, the time will flash when it is displayed.

DistanceÑThis mode shows your total distance, in miles.

SpeedÑThis mode shows your exercise pace, in miles per hour.

ScanÑThis mode displays the other five modes, for seven seconds each, in a repeating cycle.
