STEP 1: Locate the arrow on the side cover that points to the 4 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 13 STEP 2: Simultaneously lift both the Pedal Arm and the Guide Rail upon which it is resting to the vertical position (A).

    CONTACT HEART RATE HAND PULSE HEART RATE SENSORS The Contact Hand Pulse Sensors are included on each product to moni- tor your heart rate. To use, grasp the sensors with a comfortable grip during your workout. The console will display your heart rate. Although your signal will be displayed immediately, it may take the system a few seconds to zero in on your actual heart rate.

  • Page 16: Telemetric Heart Rate

    TELEMETRIC HEART RATE CHEST STRAP The wireless Telemetric Chest Strap uses a pair of electrodes on the underside of the strap to send your heart rate signal to the console. Prior to wearing the chest strap, moisten the two rubber electrode pads with several drops of water.

    TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR ELLIPTICAL TRAINER Our Elliptical Trainers are designed to be reliable and easy to use. If, however, you have a problem, these troubleshooting steps may indicate the cause. PROBLEM: The Elliptical Trainer appears to work but there is no resis- tance change.

  • Page 30: Common Questions

    COMMON ELLIPTICAL TRAINER QUESTIONS Q: Are the sounds my Elliptical Trainer make normal? A: Our Elliptical Trainers are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade Euro- pean bearings and top quality belts to minimize noise. However, be- cause the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear some slight mechanical noises from the drive train.
  • Page 31 Q: What kind of routine maintenance is required? A: We use sealed bearings throughout our Elliptical Trainers so lubrica- tion is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your perspiration off the Elliptical Trainer after each use. Q: Will the magnets wear out over time? A: No, we use permanent magnets that will retain their braking force indefinitely in this application.

  • Page 34: Developing Fitness Program

    DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAM WARM UP When you exercise you need more oxygen to fuel your muscles. This oxygen is carried to the muscles through blood. The increasing de- mands of exercise will cause increased breathing rate, heart rate, blood flow and blood temperature.

  • Page 35: Flexibility

    FLEXIBILITY Before stretching, take a few minutes to warm-up as stretching a cold muscle can cause injury. When stretching you should start slowly, ex- haling as you gently stretch the muscle. Try to hold each stretch for at least 15 to 30 seconds. Don’t bounce when you stretch. Holding a stretch is more effective and less of a risk for injury.
  • Page 36 STANDING CALF STRETCH Standing about 3 feet from a wall, take one step forward with your left foot. Place your hands on the wall in front of you. Your elbows slightly bent, shoulders, hips, and feet are pointed directly towards the wall. Bend your left leg slowly using the movement to control the amount of stretch in the right calf.

  • Page 37: Exercise Guidelines

    EXERCISE GUIDELINES The American College of Sports Medicine (A.C.S.M.) recommends the following exercise guidelines, for healthy aerobic activity: Frequency: Exercise 3 to 5 days each week. Warm-up: Warm-up 5 to 10 minutes before aerobic activity. Duration: Maintain your exercise intensity for 20 to 60 minutes. Cool Down: Gradually decrease the intensity of your workout, then stretch to cool down during the last 5 to 10 minutes.

  • Page 38: Target Heart Rate

    EXERCISE INTENSITY To reap the most cardiovascular benefits from your workout, it is neces- sary to exercise within a recommended intensity. The three ways to moni- tor exercise intensity are Target Heart Rate, Perceived Exertion, and the Talk Test. TARGET HEART RATE Target Heart Rate is a percentage of your maximum heart rate.

  • Page 39: Rate Of Perceived Exertion

    RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION Rate of Perceived Exertion (R.P .E.) is one of the easiest ways to monitor exercise intensity. By becoming familiar with the RPE scale, you can continually assess your level of intensity and insure a level of exertion that is comfortable.
  • Page 40 Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation benefits. Short term goals are easier to achieve. Your VISION FITNESS Product console provides you with several readouts that can be used to record your progress. You can track Distance, Calories or Time.
