To begin exercise, push down and back into the pedals. Since the Arc Trainer pedals travel back and forth along
an arc (not in a circle or ellipse), there is no ‘forward’ or ‘backward’ motion.
To dismount, slowly bring the pedals to a stop. Grasp the stationary handles or part of the frame to assist in
stepping off the foot plate, back and away from the machine. When stepping back, ensure that you are beyond
and behind the path of motion of the foot plates. Never stand inside of the machine’s footprint, unless standing
atop the foot plates.
How to Use the Arc Trainer
Once standing on the foot plates, begin exercise by pushing down and back on the foot plates. The user has several
options for hand placement, not all of which are available on each Arc Trainer variant: 1. Stationary handles along
the side of the frame, 2. Stationary handles around the console, 3. Moving handles, or 4. Not holding anything.
These different postures have an influence on the muscles that are utilized and thus, the calories burned during
the exercise. Always be aware of the position of the moving handles, especially if you are not actively grasping
them. These handles move in synchrony with the pedals, so pull on the handle as you are pushing down and back
with your foot. Speed on the Arc Trainer is measured in cadence as steps per minute. The most common cadences
during use are 100-160 steps per minute, although users performing high intensity intervals may routinely exceed
this range.
