Once your elliptical trainer is assembled, make sure that your workout space has a solid, level surface with
plenty of space around it. We recommend placing a mat under your unit to protect your flooring. Before
you begin your first workout on the elliptical trainer, practice getting on and off your trainer a few times
until you are comfortable with this movement.
Getting On
Move the right foot platform to its lowest
position by pulling back on the Right Handlebar.
1)
Face forward and put your right hand on
the stationary handlebar.
2)
Place your right foot on the right foot
platform and balance yourself.
3)
Carefully lift your left foot over the unit
and place your left foot on the left foot
platform. Make sure that you feel completely
balanced before beginning your workout.
Getting Off
When stepping off, you must gradually slow down the rate at which you are
pedaling until the unit comes to a complete stop.
1)
Grasp the stationary handlebar with both hands (see Fig 3 above).
2)
Release one hand from the Stationary Handlebar and step off the higher foot
platform onto the floor (see Fig 2 above).
3)
Then carefully bring your other foot over the unit and down to the floor
(see Fig 1 above). Release remaining hand from the stationary handlebar.

Correct Workout Position
When exercising, it is important to keep your back straight and knees
“soft” or slightly bent. Do not lock out your knees. Keep your head up
as this will minimize neck and upper back strain. Always try to use the
elliptical trainer with a smooth and rhythmical motion.
