program starts at level three.
8. As you become comfortable with exercise motion, press
[LEVEL: ∧] and [LEVEL: ∨] to adjust your climbing speed.
9. Relax and stand up straight while exercising. Use the
handlebars for balance (see Figure 5).
10. Select an intensity level that allows you to stay in the middle
of the pedal range of motion. Faster is not always better.
Exercise at a level that is consistent with your fitness level.
Rest Periods
11. You can stop and rest as many times as necessary for up to one
minute for each rest period during all programs. To stop, either press
[STOP] or step off the machine.The 4400/4600 PT console returns to
the start screen if you rest longer than the allotted rest period. The
4400/4600 CL console will shut off if you rest longer than the allotted
rest period. Follow the onscreen prompt to continue your work out
after a rest period.
Cool Down
12. When you are finished with your workout, the machine will slow
down and the message “GOAL ATTAINED” will be displayed. You can
cool down on the machine by continuing to step. The console timer
will continue to count up from the selected time, and the intensity
level will default to level 3. If there is a time limit set on the console,
the timer will last only until the maximum time has been met. For
example, if the time limit was set for 30 minutes and you worked out
for 25 minutes, the cool down period would last for 5 minutes, or until
you stepped off the machine.
13. You can also cool down by getting off the machine walking or
stretching for at least five minutes. Lift one foot slowly until the pedal
arm contacts the upper stop. Place that foot on the floor. Repeat for
the other foot. Do not let the pedals slam into the upper stops, since
this may cause unnecessary wear and tear.
