40 year old to get a cardiovascular effect the 
individual would need to keep their heart rate 
at or above 126 beats per minute to get a 
cardiovascular effect.

Note:

Although 70% was

used in this example, the heart rate range needed
to achieve results falls between 60% and 85% of
your maximum heart rate.

If you are just beginning your exercise program,
your target heart rate range should be roughly 
at 60% of your maximum heart rate. As you
become more conditioned (or if you are already 
in good cardiovascular shape) you can increase
your target heart rate to 70%-85% of your 
maximum heart rate. Remember, your 
target heart rate is only a guide.

When checking heart rate during a workout, take
your pulse within five seconds after interrupting
exercise because it starts to go down once you
stop moving. Count pulse for 10 seconds and 
multiply by six to get the per-minute rate.

Remember, your elliptical trainer also comes 
with pulse sensors located on the dual-action 
handlebars.

When used properly, the unit pulse sensors 
can help you to determine your estimated 
heart rate. To do so:

a)

Push the START button on your monitor.

b)

Gently grab 

both

metal pulse sensors on 

both 

handlebars. Wait 6 seconds.

c)

Your estimated heart rate range will be 
displayed on screen. Check the chart on the
following page to see if you are within your
range according to your age.

When used properly, the heart rate pulse 
sensors and display monitor provide a 
reasonably accurate estimate of your 
actual heart rate. This estimate is not exact 
and persons with medical conditions and/or 
a specific need for accurate heart rate 
monitoring should not rely on the 
estimations provided.

By using the chart on the following page, you can
see where your heart rate falls in the minimum and
maximum target zones.

The above are guidelines, people with any 
medical limitations should discuss this formula 
with their physician.

CLOTHING

All exercise clothing should be loose-fitting to 
permit freedom of movement, and should make
the wearer feel comfortable and self-assured.

Never wear rubberized or plastic clothing, such 
garments interfere with the evaporation of 
perspiration and can cause body temperature 
to rise to dangerous levels.

We recommend wearing a workout shoe with a
rubberized sole unless instructed otherwise.

TIPS TO KEEP YOU GOING  

1)

Adopt a specific plan and write it down.

2)

Keep setting realistic goals as you go along,
and remind yourself of them often.

3)

Keep a log to record your progress and make
sure to keep it up-to-date. See page 24.

4)

Include weight and/or percent body fat 
measures in your log. Extra pounds can 
easily creep back.

5)

Upgrade your fitness program as you progress.
Your elliptical trainer provides 12 different 
programs to keep your workouts challenging.

6)

Enlist the support and company of your family
and friends.

7)

Update others on your successes.

8)

Avoid injuries by pacing yourself and including
a warm up and cool down period as part of
every workout. See page 18.

9)

Reward yourself periodically for a job well done!
