CONSOLE MUSCLE ACTIVATION FIGURE There is an anatomical figure located at the top of the console. This figure will light all areas that are activated when using the elliptical trainer. These will light up during any of the programs. You can control which muscles are activated by changing up the pedal pattern or switching your hand position during the manual program.
OPERATION OF YOUR CONSOLE GETTING FAMILIAR WITH THE CONTROL PANEL POWER UP When the A.C. power cord is connected to the Elliptical, the console will automati- cally power up. If there is no input to the console for 20 minutes the console will go to stand- by mode.
Page 14
QUICK START This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start key to begin, this will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Level Up or Down buttons.

PROGRAM KEYS The Program Keys are used to preview each program. When you first turn the console on you may press each program key to preview what the program profile looks like. If you decide that you want to try a program, press the corresponding program key and then press the Enter key to select the program and enter into the data-setting mode.
PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES MANUAL The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the workload and not the computer. To start the Manual program, follow the instructions below or just press the Manual button, then the Enter button and follow the directions in the Message Center.
PRESET PROGRAMS The elliptical has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These five programs have factory preset work level profiles for achieving different goals. Hill RESISTANCE This program follows a triangle or pyramid type of gradual progression from approximately 10% of maximum effort (the level that you chose before starting this program) up to a maximum effort which...

PROGRAMMING PRESET PROGRAMS Select the desired program button then press the Enter key. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may adjust the age setting, using the Level Up and Down keys, then press the Enter key to accept the new number and proceed on to the next screen.

CUSTOM USER DEFINED PROGRAMS There are two customizable User programs that allow you to build and save your own workout. The two programs, User 1 and User 2, operate exactly the same way so there is no reason to describe them separately. You can build your own custom program by following the instructions below or you can save any other preset program you complete as a custom program.

Heart Rate programs The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
Page 21
RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout.
Page 22
HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM OPERATION Note: You must wear the heart rate transmitter strap for these programs Both programs operate the same, the only difference is that HR1 is set to 60% and HR2 is set to 80% of the maximum heart rate. They both are programmed the same way. To start an HRC program follow the instructions below or just select the HR1 or HR2 program, then the Enter button and follow the directions in the Message Center.
Page 23
USING HEART RATE TRANSMITTER(Optional) How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter: Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable. Position the transmitter with the logo centered in the middle of your body facing away from your chest (some people must position the transmitter slightly left of center).
GENERAL MAINTENANCE Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two reasons: The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible.

TRAINING GUIDELINES Exercise Exercise is one of the most important factors in the overall health of an individual. Listed among its benefits are: Increased capacity for physical work (strength endurance) Increased cardiovascular (heart and arteries/veins) and respiratory efficiency Decreased risk of coronary heart disease Changes in body metabolism, e.g.

Specificity Different forms of exercise produce different results. The type of exercise that is carried out is specific both to the muscle groups being used and to the energy source involved. There is little transfer of the effects of exercise, i.e. from strength training to cardiovascular fitness. That is why it is important to have an exercise program tailored to your specific needs.

Don’t push yourself too hard to reach the figures on this table. It can be very uncomfortable if you overdo it. Let it happen naturally as you work through your program. Remember, the target is a guide, not a rule, a little above or below is just fine. Two final comments:(1) don’t be concerned with day to day variations in your pulse rate, being under pressure or not enough sleep can affect it;(2) your pulse rate is a guide, don’t become a slave to it.
STRETCHING Stretching should be included in both your warm up and cool down, and should be performed after 3-5 minutes of low intensity aerobic activity or callisthenic type exercise. Movements should be performed slowly and smoothly, with no bouncing or jerking. Move into the stretch until slight tension, not pain, is felt in the muscle and hold for 20-30 seconds.
