HOW TO USE THE UPPER BODY ARMS
As you exercise
on the treadmill,
you can hold ei-
ther the handrails
or the upper
body arms. The
upper body arms
are designed to
exercise your
arms, shoulders,
and back for a
total body work-
out. Hold one
upper body arm
with each hand,
and move them
forward and back
as you walk on
the treadmill.
To vary the intensity of your upper body exercise, the re-
sistance of the upper body arms can be adjusted. To in-
crease the resistance, turn the resistance knobs clock-
wise; to decrease the resistance, turn the knobs coun-
terclockwise.
