  • Page 20: Preset Programs

    Preset Programs The elliptical 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: 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 regression of resistance back to approximately 10% of maximum effort.
  • Page 21 Strength Resistance: This program has a gradual progression of resistance up to 100% of maximum effort that is sustained for 25% of workout duration. This will help build strength and muscular endurance in the lower body and gluts. A brief cool down follows. Incline: There is a quick climb to a moderate, sustained elevation that lasts the majority of the workout length.

  • Page 24 Heart Rate Programs Before we get started, 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.

  • Page 25: Rate Of Perceived Exertion

    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.
  • Page 26 Using A Heart Rate Transmitter (OPTIONAL) How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter: Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable.
  • Page 27 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 button and follow the directions in the Message Center.

  • Page 28: General Maintenance

    General Maintenance Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two reasons: The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible.

  • Page 29: User Direction

    Getting on / off your elliptical IMPORTANT The elliptical comes with two Dual Action Handles and a Stationary Handlebar. Always hold the Stationary Handlebar when getting on and off the elliptical. First time users should familiarize themselves with using the elliptical by using the Stationary Handlebar first and then progressing to the Dual Action Handles.
  • Page 30 Correct Position Your body should be in an upright position so that your back is straight. Keep your head up to minimize neck and upper back strain. Always try and use the elliptical in a rhythmical and smooth motion. If you find yourself feeling uncomfortable, or experience a surging type feeling, there is probably too much tension.

  • Page 37 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 Decreased risk of coronary heart disease Changes in body metabolism, e.g.
  • Page 38 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 39 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. This is for two reasons: (a) 10 seconds is long enough for accuracy, (b) the pulse count is to approximate your BPM rate at the time you are exercising.
  • Page 40 What to Wear Wear clothing that will not restrict your movement in any way while exercising. Clothes should be light enough to allow the body to cool. Excessive clothing that causes you to perspire more than you normally would while exercising, gives you no advantage. The extra weight you lose is body fluid and will be replaced with the next glass of water you drink.

  • Page 41: Stretching

    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.
  • Page 42 INNER THIGH STRETCH TOUCHES Sit with the soles of your feet together with Slowly bend forward from your waist, your knees pointing outward. Pull your feet letting your back and shoulders relax as as close Into your groin as possible. Gently you stretch toward your toes.
