What to Wear
Wear rubber-soled athletic shoes. You will need the appropriate clothes for exercise that allow you to move freely.
How Often Should You Exercise
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in
your chest, become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again.
Use the values calculated or measured by the machine's computer for reference purposes only. The heart
rate displayed is an approximation and should be used for reference purposes only.
• 3 times a week for 20 minutes each day.
• Schedule workouts in advance and try to follow the schedule.
Seat Adjustment
Correct seat placement encourages exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of
injury.
1.
With a Pedal in the forward position, place the heel of your foot to the lowest part of it. Your
leg should be bent slightly at the knee.
2.
If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch the Pedal, you need to move the seat
downward. If your leg is bent too much, you need to move the seat upward.
Step off the machine before you adjust the seat.
3.
Loosen and pull the Seat Post Adjustment Knob on the Seat Post. Adjust the seat to the
desired height.
Do not lift the Seat post above the "STOP" mark on the Seat Post.
4.
Release the Seat Post Adjustment Knob to engage the locking pin. Be sure that the pin is
fully engaged and fully tighten the adjustment knob.
5.
To move the seat closer to, or away from the console, loosen the seat adjustment knob.
Slide the seat to the desired position and fully tighten the knob.

Using the Machine

Be aware that the Pedals, Handlebars and Resistance Fan are connected and when any of these parts move
the others do as well.
Carefully mount the machine using the Foot Step Pad if necessary. Adjust the Seat and Pedals before starting a workout.
Lower Body Workout: Slowly pedal with your arms relaxed at your sides or with your hands resting on the Hand Grips as
the Handlebars move.
Full Body Workout: Grasp the Hand Grips with your palms down. Push and pull the Handlebars as you pedal, keeping
your elbows low and next to your body.
Upper Body Workout: Grasp the Hand Grips firmly with palms down and place your feet on the Foot Pegs. Lean slightly
forward at the hips with your back straight and shoulders down. Now push and pull the Handlebars
Note: You may need to safely push a Pedal to assist with starting the workout.
To increase the air resistance and workload, increase your level of activity. To exercise all the muscle groups in your arms,
alter your grasp to palms up for part of the workout.
