This position offers a more elliptical or gliding pattern, and provides an excellent cardiovascular workout without overtaxing any one muscle group.

    Heart Rate console is the same as for Programmable consoles except that the ‘Heart Rate Control’ program replaces the ‘Mountain’ program.

    DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAM Stretch First Before using your Vision Fitness Elliptical Trainer, it is best to spend a few minutes doing a few gentle stretching exercises.

    How Hard? How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your Vision Fitness Elliptical Trainer to prepare for bicycle racing, you will probably work out at a higher intensity than if your goal is general fitness.
  • Page 27: Target Heart Rate

  • Page 33: Common Product Questionspage

    COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS Are the sounds my Elliptical Trainer makes normal? Our trainers are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic resist- ance. We use the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance sys- tem itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises.
  • Page 34 What kind of routine maintenance is required? We use sealed bearings throughout our Elliptical Trainer so lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the trainer after each use. Will the magnets wear out over time? No, we use permanent magnets that will retain their brak- ing force indefinitely in this application.
