WaRM-up
Start your workout at a lower speed and intensity for three to five minutes. This allows
the blood to flow throughout the body and raise muscle temperature. You can walk, pedal,
bike or use your seated elliptical cross trainer for your warm-up.

The DedicatedLogic programming was designed to give you the most flexibility in
programming the machine. There are several easy ways to start:
• Use QuickStart to immediately begin the Manual program;
•
Use My QuickStart 1 or My QuickStart 2 (on the xR6e or xR6ce) to immediately begin
your favorite routine;
• Start with the Time (
/
) keys and work your way across the keypad as you enter
your selections and data. You can also use the console keys to change the program
and settings after you have started pedaling.
For a more detailed look at the electronics, turn to page 2.
WORKOuts
Your product has at least five pre-programmed workouts. We encourage you to try all of
them and mix up your routine. Remember, boredom can destroy an exercise program. Your
Octane Fitness seated elliptical cross trainer is just that—a cross trainer—so change it
up! Go forward, backward, fast, or slow; use your whole body or concentrate on upper or
lower body only—it’s up to you. You can also activate the Muscle Endurance and let the
computer run you through your workout. Have fun with it!
COOl DOWn
In addition to warming up your body before exercise, you should perform a proper cool-
down when you are finished. The Cool Down button is a simple and effective way to do
this. For more information on Octane Fitness custom cool-down, please refer to page 3.

Stretching is a critical part of any exercise routine and should not be overlooked. Best
performed after your workout when your muscles are warm, proper stretching promotes
flexibility and can reduce the risk of injury. Well-stretched muscles, tendons, and ligaments
can make exercise and recovery much more enjoyable. Stretching can help reduce stress.
You will feel the benefits of a properly stretched body throughout your entire day.
The first thing to know about stretching is to perform slow, controlled movements; no
bouncing! You should feel tension, but not pain. Once you start to feel the stretch hold that
position for 10-30 seconds. Breathe deeply, and after holding the position, release for five
seconds, then return for another 20 seconds. A proper stretching routine will take 10-15
minutes but will benefit you 24 hours a day.
Remember:
• Stretch slowly
• Hold for 10-30 seconds
• Stop at a comfortable tension, not pain
• Breathe deeply
