HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

To mount the
elliptical
exerciser,
firmly hold
the handle-
bars and
carefully step	Pedal
onto the
pedal that is	Pedal Disk
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 above; however, for variety, you can turn the pedal disks in the opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical exerciser, allow the pedals to come to a complete stop. CAUTION: The elliptical exerciser 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.

To add upper-body exercise to your workouts on the elliptical exerciser, push and pull the handlebars to work your arms, shoul- ders, and back.

HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE

To increase the resistance of the pedals, turn the resistance knob clockwise; to decrease the resis- tance, turn the knob counterclockwise.

Important: Stop

turning the knob when turning becomes difficult, or damage may result.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The easy-to-use console is designed to help you get the most from your workouts. As you exercise, the console will display the following modes:

Time—This mode displays the elapsed time (or the time remaining in a pace program). Note: If you stop pedaling, the time will begin to flash.

Distance—This mode displays the distance that you have pedaled.

Calories—This mode displays the approximate num- ber of calories you have burned.

Fat calories—This mode displays the approximate number of fat calories you have burned (see FAT BURNING on page 12).

Pulse—This mode displays your heart rate when you use the pulse sensor.

Speed—This mode displays your pedaling speed.

Scan—When this mode is selected, the upper section of the display will show both the time mode and the distance mode, and the lower left section of the dis- play will show the calories mode and the fat calories mode.

The console also offers four pace programs. Each pro- gram automatically prompts you to increase or decrease your pace as it guides you through an effec- tive workout.
