HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
To mount the elliptical trainer, firmly hold the handle-
bars and carefully step onto the pedal that is 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 by the arrow
below; however, for variety, you may turn the
pedal disks in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical trainer, allow the pedals to
come to a complete stop.
Note: The elliptical trainer
does not have a free wheel; the pedals will contin-
ue to move until the flywheel stops. When the ped-
als are stationary, step off the highest pedal first.
Then, step off the lowest pedal.
The handlebars
are designed to
add upper-body
exercise to your
workouts. As you
exercise, push
and pull the han-
dlebars to work
your arms, shoul-
ders, and back.

tance, turn the

Important: Stop turning the knob when turn-
ing becomes difficult, or damage may result.

TURES 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 ef
fec
-
tive workout.
