ADJUSTING THE FOOTREST SUPPORTS

(EUROPEAN MODEL)

Turn the locking knob counterclockwise and pull the locking knob out so that the adjusting tube can be moved freely up and down. When the height is right, let go of the knob. The tube locks into place. Tighten the locking knob clockwise.

NOTE! Always make sure that the locking knob is fastened properly before starting to exercise. Adjust the footrest support height so that the elliptic movement does not strain your ankles.

EXERCISING

Working out using an elliptical trainer is excellent aerobic exercise, the principle being that the exercise should be suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving the body ‘s maximum oxygen uptake, which in turn improves endurance and fitness. The ability of the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly dependent on its oxygen-uptake capacity. Aerobic exercise should above all be pleasant. You should perspire, but you should not get out of breath during the workout. You must, for example, be able to speak and not just pant while pedaling. You should exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a time, to reach a basic fitness level. Maintaining this level requires a few exercise sessions each week. Once the basic condition has been reached, it is easily improved simply by increasing the number of exercise sessions. Exercise is always rewarding for weight loss, because it is the only way of increasing the energy spent by the body. This is why it is always worthwhile to combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. A dieter should exercise daily, at first 30 minutes or less at a time, gradually increasing the daily workout time to one hour.

You should start slowly at a low pedaling speed and low resistance, because for an overweight person strenuous exercise may subject the heart and circulatory system to excessive strain. As fitness improves, resistance and pedaling speed can be increased gradually. Exercise efficiency can be measured by monitoring the pulse. The pulse meter helps you monitor your pulse easily during exercise, and thus to ensure that the exercise is sufficiently effective but not over-strenuous.

Start your workout with slow tempo and low resistance. Gradually increase tempo and resistance according to your own condition. Keep your head up and neck long in order to avoid stress on your neck, shoulders and back. Keep also your back straight. Make sure that your feet are centered on the foot pedals and that your hips, knees, ankles and toes are facing forward. Keep your body weight centered over your lower body regardless of whether you lean forward or stand upright. Stop your workout by gradually decreasing tempo and resistance. Don’t forget to stretch afterwards. To strengthen cardiovascular system, maintain low resistance but high tempo. Exercising with higher resistance and slow tempo strengthens correspondingly your back and hips.
