How To Use The Arc Trainer - Life Fitness Arc Trainer Assembly Instructions Manual

To dismount, slowly bring the pedals to a stop. Grasp the stationary handles or part of the frame to assist in stepping
off the foot plate, back and away from the machine. When stepping back, ensure that you are beyond and behind the
path of motion of the foot plates. Never stand inside of the machine's footprint, unless standing atop the foot plates.

How to Use the Arc Trainer

Once standing on the foot plates, begin exercise by pushing down and back on the foot plates. The user has several
options for hand placement, not all of which are available on each Arc Trainer variant: 1. Stationary handles along the
side of the frame, 2. Stationary handles around the console, 3. Moving handles, or 4. Not holding anything. These
different postures have an influence on the muscles that are utilized and thus, the calories burned during the exercise.
Always be aware of the position of the moving handles, especially if you are not actively grasping them. These handles
move in synchrony with the pedals, so pull on the handle as you are pushing down and back with your foot. Speed on
the Arc Trainer is measured in cadence as steps per minute. The most common cadences during use are 100-160
steps per minute, although users performing high intensity intervals may routinely exceed this range.
