See "Specifications" page in this manual for product specific features.

Statement of Purpose: The Life Fitness Fit Stride Total Body Trainer is an exercise machine that
combines low-impact elliptical pedaling with push/pull arm motion to provide an efficient, effec-
tive total body workout.

CAUTION: Health-related injuries may result from incorrect or excessive use of

exercise equipment. Life Fitness STRONGLY recommends seeing a physician for
a complete medical exam before undertaking an exercise program, particularly if
the user has a family history of high blood pressure or heart disease, or is over
the age of 45, or smokes, has high cholesterol, is obese, or has not exercised
regularly in the past year.

If, at any time while exercising, the user experiences faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of
breath, he or she must stop immediately.

MISE EN GARDE: Des problèmes de santé peuvent être causés par une utilisa-

tion incorrecte ou excessive de l'équipement. Life Fitness conseille VIVEMENT de
consulter un médecin pour subir un examen médical complet avant de com-
mencer tout programme d'exercice, et tout particulièrement si l'utilisateur a des
antécédents familiaux d'hypertension ou de troubles cardiaques, ou s'il a plus de
45 ans, s'il fume, s'il a du cholestérol, s'il est obèse ou n'a pas fait d'exercice
régulièrement depuis un an.

Si, pendant l'utilisation de l'appareil, l'utilisateur ressent un malaise, des vertiges, des douleurs
ou des difficultés à respirer, il doit cesser immédiatement.
