HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL

EXERCISER

To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the upper body 

arms and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest 

position. Then, step onto the other pedal. Push the 

pedals until they begin to move with a continuous 

motion. 

Note: The pedal discs can turn in either direction. It is 

recommended that you move the pedal discs in the 

direction shown by the arrow;

however, for variety, you may turn the pedal discs

in the opposite direction.

The upper body arms are designed to add upper-

body exercise to your workouts. As you exercise, 

push and pull the upper body arms to work your 

arms, shoulders, and back. To focus on lower-body 

exercise, hold the upper body arms but do not push 

or pull them as you exercise.

To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the 

pedals come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical

exerciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals

will continue to move until the flywheel stops.

When the pedals are stationary, step off the highest

pedal first. Then, step off the lower pedal.

MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE IF DESIRED

You can measure you heart rate using either the

handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse

sensor.

Note: If you hold the handgrip pulse sensor and

wear the chest pulse sensor at the same time, the

console will not display your heart rate accurately.

If there are sheets of clear plastic on the metal 

contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, remove

the plastic. In addition, make sure that your hands 

are clean. To measure your heart rate, hold the

handgrip pulse sensor with your palms resting

against the metal contacts. Avoid moving your

hands or gripping the contacts tightly.

When you are finished exercising

If the pedals do not move for several minutes and

the buttons are not pressed, the console will turn

off and the display will be reset.
