DOT MATRIX CENTER DISPLAY Twenty columns of boxes (8 high) indicate each segment of a workout. The boxes only show an approximate level (resistance) of effort. They do not necessarily indicate a specific value - only an approximate percent to compare levels of intensity. In Manual Operation the resistance dot matrix window will build a profile “picture”...
Page 16
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 Semi-Recumbent Stepper. These will light up during any of the programs. You can control which muscles are activated by customizing the resistance profile during the set up phase of console programming.
Page 17
BASIC INFORMATION The Message Center will initially be displaying the Program name. When in scan mode during a program, METS will be displayed for four seconds, then move on and display Segment time, Max level. Pressing the ENTER key again will bring you back to the beginning. The STOP key actually has several functions.
ENTERING A PROGRAM AND CHANGING SETTINGS When you enter a program, by pressing a program key, then Enter key, you have the option of entering your own personal settings. If you want to work out without entering new settings, then just press the Start key.
Page 19
PRESET PROGRAMS The Semi - Recumbent Stepper 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 LEVEL 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 lasts for 10% of the total workout time, then a gradual...

PROGRAMMING PRESET PROGRAMS 1. Select the desired program key then press the Enter key. 2. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may adjust the age setting, using the Level Up/Down keys, then press the Enter key to accept the new number and proceed on to the next screen.
Page 21
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.
Page 22
HEART RATE PROGRAMS A word about Heart Rate: 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 23
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.
USING A HEART RATE TRANSMITTER (OPTIONAL) How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter: 1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts. 2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable.
Page 25
HEART RATE 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 HR program follow the instructions below or just select the HR1 or HR2 program, then the Enter key and follow the directions in the Message Center.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE 1. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout. 2. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two reasons: I. The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible.

ENGINEERING MODE MENU The console has built in maintenance/diagnostic software. The software will allow you to change the console settings from English to Metric and turn off the beeping of the speaker when a key is pressed for example. To enter the Engineering Mode Menu, press and hold down the Start, Stop and Enter keys.
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 ...
Page 35
Overload This is where you exercise at a level above that which can be carried out comfortably. The intensity, duration and frequency of exercise should be above the training threshold and should be gradually increased as the body adapts to the increasing demands. As your fitness level improves, so the training threshold should be raised.
Page 36
The following table is a guide to those who are “starting fitness”. Target heart Rate 10 Second Count Beats per Minute 132 126 120 Pulse Count The pulse count (on your wrist or carotid artery in the neck, taken with two index fingers) is done for ten seconds, taken a few seconds after you stop exercising.
Page 37
Patronization This is the term used to vary your exercise program for both physiological and psychological benefits. In your overall program, you should vary the workload, frequency and intensity. The body responds better to variety and so do you. In addition, when you feel yourself getting “stale’, bring in periods of lighter exercise to allow the body to recuperate and restore its reserves.
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.

TOUCHES INNER THIGH STRETCH Slowly bend forward from your Sit with the soles of your feet together waist, letting your back and with your knees pointing outward. Pull shoulders relax as you stretch your feet as close into your groin as toward your toes.
