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.

HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE PEDALS

As you exercise, you can adjust the resistance of the pedals with

the resistance

knob on the console. To increase the

resistance, turn the knob

clockwise; to decrease the

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:

Calories—This mode shows the approximate number of calories you have burned.

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

Time—If 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.

Distance—This mode shows your total distance, in miles.

Speed—This mode shows your exercise pace, in miles per hour.

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