HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, firmly hold the han-
dlebars or the pulse grips 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
below; however, to give variety to your exercise,
you may choose to turn the pedal disks in the
opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical exerciser, allow the pedals
to come to a complete stop. CAUTION: The elliptical
exerciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals
will continue to move until the flywheel stops.
When the pedals are stationary, step off the highest
pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The innovative
console offers a
manual mode and
three pacer pro-
grams. The pacer
programs are
designed to help
you reach specific
exercise goals by
pacing your exer-
cise. You can
choose from a sta-
mina-building
Interval program,
an Aerobic pro-
gram, and a spe-
cial Fat Burn pro-
gram. As you
exercise, six moni-
tor modes will pro-
vide continuous exercise feedback. The monitor
modes are described below:
SpeedÑThis mode shows your exercising pace,
in kilometres or miles per hour (see HOW TO
SELECT KILOMETRES OR MILES on page 13).
TimeÑIf you select the manual mode, this mode
will show the elapsed time. If you select one of
the three pacer programs, this mode will count
down the time remaining in the program.
DistanceÑThis mode shows the distance you
have stridden, in kilometres or miles.
LapÑThis mode shows the number of laps you
have completed. One lap equals 0.25 kilometres
or miles.
CalorieÑThis mode shows the approximate
number of calories you have burned.
ScanÑThis mode displays the above five
modes, for 5 seconds each, in a repeating cycle.
HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE
When you use a
Actual
pacer program,
two columns of
bars will appear in
the display. The
left column repre-
sents a target
Target
pace, and the right
column shows
your actual exercising pace. The target pace will
change periodically during the program; as the target
pace changes, simply adjust your exercising pace to
keep both columns at the same height. Important: The
target pace is a goal pace. Your actual pace may be
slower than the target pace, especially during the
first few months of your exercise program. Be sure
to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
The three graphs
on the console
show how the tar-
get pace will
change during the
programs. During
the Aerobic
program (P2), for example, the target pace will gradu-
ally increase during the first half of the program, and
gradually decrease during the last half of the program.
Each program will last twenty minutes.
STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION
