GETTING STARTED
Guidelines For Getting On and Off the Elliptical
Instruct each user in the following guidelines for getting on and off the elliptical.
1. Hold onto the handlebars and step up onto the pedals. Stand up straight.
Begin striding slowly at a pace just fast enough to activate the console. You
should see the”SELECT WORKOUT” message on the display.
2. Select the MANUAL exercise program so you can control the pace of your
fi rst workout and get used to the exercise motion. Press [MANUAL] and then
press [ENTER].
3. The console will prompt you to enter your body weight. Enter your weight
in pounds (or kilograms if the console is set to metric units). Correct entry
errors by pressing [CLEAR] before you press [ENTER].
4. The console will prompt you to enter your intensity level. Enter your desired
intensity level from 1 (very easy) to 20 (extremely hard). First time users may
want to select a low intensity level, for example, level 3. Correct entry errors
by pressing [CLEAR] before you press [ENTER].
5. The console will prompt you to enter the workout time in one-minute
increments between 5 and 99 minutes. Press [1], [0], [ENTER] to exercise
for ten minutes. After time is entered, the console will display”ENJOY
WORKOUT” and your program will begin. If you do not start exercising within
30 seconds, the console will return to the start screen.
6. Begin striding at a comfortable, natural rate. Stand up straight and hold onto
the static bars in front or the moving upper-body handles to the sides of the
console. When you begin to exercise, the MANUAL program starts at the
level you selected during data entry.
7. As you become comfortable with the exercise motion, press [LEVEL:
] and
[LEVEL:
] to adjust the resistance.
8. Relax and stand up straight while exercising. Use the
handlebars for balance.
9. Before stepping off the elliptical, use the static
bars for balance, wait until the pedals have
stopped moving, then step off.
