HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
To mount the elliptical trainer, firmly hold the handle-
bars or the T-handle 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 trainer, allow the pedals to
come to a complete stop. CAUTION: The elliptical
trainer 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.
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE OF THE
PEDALS

you can adjust
the resistance of

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The innovative console offers a manual mode and
three personal coach pace programs. The pace pro-
grams are designed to help you achieve specific exer-
cise goals by pacing your exercise. You can choose
from a stamina-building interval program, an aerobic
program, and a special fat burning program. The con-
sole also features six modes that display instant exer-
cise feedback. The modes are described below:
Calories—This mode shows the approximate number
of calories you have burned.
Fat Calories—This mode shows the approximate
number of fat calories you have burned (see Burning
Fat on page 12).
Time—If you select the manual mode, this mode will
show the elapsed time. If you select one of the three
pace programs, this mode will count down the time
remaining in the program. Note: When you stop exer-
cising, the time will flash when it is displayed.
Distance—This mode shows your total distance, in
miles.
Speed—This mode shows your exercise pace, in
miles per hour.
Scan—This mode displays the other five modes, for
seven seconds each, in a repeating cycle.
