With this product in your home, you have everything you need to start
your own workout program to tone and firm the major muscle groups of
your lower body. This is vital for all of us, regardless of age, sex, or fitness
level, and regardless of whether your primary goal is toning, health
maintenance, or more energy for daily activities.
Proper exercise, including a low fat diet, strength training and aerobic
exercise, tones and conditions the muscles we use every day to stand,
walk, lift and turn. It can actually transform our body composition by
reducing body fat and increasing the proportion of lean muscle in
our bodies. Using the Elliptical Trainer will help in reducing body fat
and increasing cardiovascular endurance.
Be sure to read through this Owner’s Manual carefully.
It is the authoritative source of information about your
Elliptical Trainer.

Stretches can help improve flexibility and relieve the tightness in muscles
that results from repetitive sport movements that require a limited range
of motion, like elliptical striding. 10 to 12 minutes of daily stretching is
recommended. This can be done when warming up or cooling down.
When performing these stretches, your movements should be slow and
smooth, with no bouncing or jerking. Move into the stretch until you feel
a slight tension, not pain, in the muscle and hold the stretch for 20 to 30
seconds. Breathe slowly and rhythmically. Be sure not to hold your breath.
Remember that all stretches must be done for both sides of your body.
1. Quadriceps Stretch
Stand close to a wall, chair or other solid object. Use one hand
to assist your balance. Bend the opposite knee and lift your heel
towards your buttocks. Reach back and grasp the top of your
foot with the same side hand. Keeping your inner thighs close
together, slowly pull your foot towards your buttocks until you
feel a gentle stretch in the front of your thigh.You do not have
to touch your buttocks with your heel. Stop pulling when you
feel the stretch. Keep your kneecap pointing straight down and
keep your knees close together. (Do not let the lifted knee swing
outward.)
Hold the stretch for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat for the other leg.
2. Calf and Achilles Stretch
Stand approximately one arms length away from a wall or
chair with your feet hip-width apart. Keeping your toes pointed
forward, move one leg in close to the chair while extending the
other leg behind you. Bending the leg closest to the chair and
keeping the other leg straight, place your hands on the chair.
Keep the heel of the back leg on the ground and move your
hips forward. Slowly lean forward from the ankle, keeping your
back leg straight until you feel a stretch in your calf muscles.
Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat for the opposite leg.
3. Overhead/Triceps Stretch
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your knees
slightly bent. Lift one arm overhead and bend your elbow,
reaching down behind your head with your hand toward the
opposite shoulder blade. Walk your fingertips down your
back as far as you can. Hold this position. Reach up with your
opposite hand and grasp your flexed elbow. Gently assist the
stretch by pulling on the elbow.
Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat for the opposite arm.
