Foot Pedal Position
The elliptical foot pedals are extra long allowing variable foot positions depending on your
preference. The further back your feet are on the foot pedal, the greater the vertical height of the
elliptical motion and the harder the workout. The closer forward your feet are on the foot pedal, the
smaller the vertical height of the elliptical motion and easier the workout. Adjusting the foot pedals to
numbers 1, 2 will position the foot pedal forward on foot pedals working more of the front of the legs.
Positioning the foot pedal to the number 3 position puts the foot pedals in the most neutral position,
allowing for an overall muscle workout. Adjusting the foot pedals to 4, 5 will position the foot pedal
back on the pedals working more of the back of the legs.
Begin with your feet in the most forward position at setting position 3. As you progress, move your
feet to the position that feels most comfortable and best suits your capabilities. Slowly adjust the foot
pedals to different numbers as your workouts improve.
Stationary Handel Bar and Dual Action Handlebars
Stationary Handle bars
The 985VG elliptical comes with two dual pulse sensors on the stationary
handlebar. These sensors are positioned at two different locations to help users hold on to different
positions during their workouts. Firmly grasp the pulse sensors to allow the computer to register your
pulse on the display window.
Important:
Always hold on to the stationary handlebar when getting
ON and OFF of the unit for added stability.
Dual Action Handlebars
The dual action handle bars allows a user to work the upper body during a
workout. Grasp the dual action handle bar at the most natural and comfortable position. As your right
foot moves forward so will your right arm and vice versa. Push on the handles to help accelerate
your motion during workouts.
