POWER

The console on your endurance 200 is powered by 2 AA batteries, which are
replaceable through the back side of the console. Your elliptical itself, is pow-
ered by you.
Your programmable endurance 300 elliptical trainer is powered by a power sup-
ply. The power supply must be plugged into the power jack, which is located in
the front of the machine near the front foot tube. 

LEVELING

The elliptical trainer should be level for optimum use. Once you have placed the
elliptical trainer where you intend to use it, raise or lower the adjustable levelers
located on the outside of each pedal arm. Once you have leveled the elliptical train-
er, lock the levelers in place by tightening the wing nuts against the frame.

HOW HARD?

How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your Horizon
Fitness Elliptical Trainer to prepare for a 5K run, you will probably work out at a
higher intensity than if your goal is general fitness. Regardless of your long term
goals, always begin an exercise program at low intensity.  Aerobic exercise does
not have to be painful to be beneficial! There are two ways to measure your exer-
cise intensity. The first is by monitoring your heart rate (see page 27), and the sec-
ond is by evaluating your perceived exertion level (this is simpler than it sounds!).
Note: Always consult your physician before beginning an exercise program.

PERCEIVED EXERTION LEVEL

The second and simpler way to gauge your exercise intensity is to evaluate your
perceived exertion level. While exercising if you are too winded to maintain a con-
versation without gasping, you are working out too hard. A good rule of thumb is
to work to the point of exhilaration, not exhaustion. If you cannot catch your
breath, it’s time to slow down. Always be aware of other warning signs of overex-
ertion.
