    FOLDING YOUR ELLIPTICAL TRAINER It is important to always follow steps in the correct order when folding your Elliptical Trainer. STEP 1: On the left side of the machine, locate the arrow on the side cover that points to the four O’clock position of the disk. Rotate the disk so that the arrow is pointing to the disk axle (the point where the disk and pedal arm connect.)
  • Page 12 STEP 2: Move to the right side of the machine. Simultaneously lift both the pedal arm and the guide rail upon which the pedal arm rests, to the vertical (position A). The locking device, which is mounted to the guide rail, should now be aligned with the cylinder on the backside of the pedal arm.
  • Page 13 STEP 3: To unfold your Elliptical Trainer, push the recessed lock button, found on the underside of the guide rail (image C), to release the lock. Pull the guide rail away from the pedal arm and lower both to the floor. Repeat this step on the opposite side to completely unfold your elliptical trainer.

    TARGET HEART RATE Target Heart Rate is a percentage of your maximum heart rate.

  • Page 36: Balanced Fitness

    BALANCED FITNESS While cardiovascular exercise has been the primary method of fitness for many programs over the years, it should not be the only method. Strength Training and Flexibility Training have become more popular as exercise has developed. Incorporating strength and flexibility training into your current exercise program will give you the balance you need to improve your athletic performance, reduce susceptibility to injury, increase metabolic rate, increase bone density, and reach your goals faster.

  • Page 37: Stretching

    STRETCHING Flexibility training is not associated with fitness as often as cardiovascular exercise or strength training, even though it is just as important. A good stretching program will help to maintain flexibility of the hips and lower back. A flexible person will be less likely to injure themselves in common activities, such as reaching, twisting and turning, or in uncommon activities such as the annual softball game.
  • Page 38 STANDING QUADRICEPS STRETCH Using a wall to provide balance, grasp your left ankle with your left hand and hold to stretch. Your knee should be pointing toward the floor. Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds. Repeat with your right leg, and continue to alternate as necessary.
