BASIC OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
8. Relax as much as possible while exercising and maintain an erect posture.
Use the handrails for balance. Don’t lock your elbows or lean on the
console. Supporting your weight will reduce the exercise intensity and the
console will overestimate the number of calories burned.
9. Select a speed (or intensity level) that allows you to step towards the top
of the staircase. Faster is not always better. Exercise at a level that is
consistent with your fitness level.
Rest Periods
10. 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 console returns to the start screen if
you rest longer than the allotted rest period. Follow the onscreen
prompt to continue your work out after a rest period.
Cool Down
11. 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.
12. You can also cool down by getting off the machine walking or
stretching for at least five minutes.
