Turn the locking knob counterclockwise and pull
the locking knob out so that the adjusting tube can
be moved freely up and down. When the height is
right, let go of the knob. The tube locks into place.
Tighten the locking knob clockwise.
Always make sure that the locking knob is

fastened properly before starting to exercise. Adjust
the footrest support height so that the elliptic
movement does not strain your ankles.

Working out using an elliptical trainer is excellent
aerobic exercise, the principle being that the
exercise should be suitably light, but of long
duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving
the body 's maximum oxygen uptake, which in
turn improves endurance and fi tness. The ability of
the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly dependent
on its oxygen-uptake capacity. Aerobic exercise
should above all be pleasant. You should perspire,
but you should not get out of breath during the
workout. You must, for example, be able to speak
and not just pant while pedaling. You should
exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at
a time, to reach a basic fi tness level. Maintaining
this level requires a few exercise sessions each week.
Once the basic condition has been reached, it is
easily improved simply by increasing the number
of exercise sessions. Exercise is always rewarding for
weight loss, because it is the only way of increasing
the energy spent by the body. This is why it is
always worthwhile to combine regular exercise with
a healthy diet. A dieter should exercise daily, at fi rst
30 minutes or less at a time, gradually increasing
the daily workout time to one hour.
You should start slowly at a low pedaling speed
and low resistance, because for an overweight
person strenuous exercise may subject the heart
and circulatory system to excessive strain. As
fi tness improves, resistance and pedaling speed
can be increased gradually. Exercise effi ciency can
be measured by monitoring the pulse. The pulse
meter helps you monitor your pulse easily during
exercise, and thus to ensure that the exercise is
suffi ciently effective but not over-strenuous.

Start your workout with slow tempo and low
resistance. Gradually increase tempo and resistance
according to your own condition. Keep your head
up and neck long in order to avoid stress on your
neck, shoulders and back. Keep also your back
straight. Make sure that your feet are centered on
the foot pedals and that your hips, knees, ankles
and toes are facing forward. Keep your body
weight centered over your lower body regardless
of whether you lean forward or stand upright.
Stop your workout by gradually decreasing tempo
and resistance. Don't forget to stretch afterwards.
To strengthen cardiovascular system, maintain
low resistance but high tempo. Exercising with
higher resistance and slow tempo strengthens
correspondingly your back and hips.
