TIPS & TRICKS

The Zero Runner provides a workout experience unlike any other piece of fitness equipment you have ever tried. It 

may take a little time to get used to the motion, the electronics, and the challenge it provides, but once you do you 

will enjoy all that it has to offer. Here are a few quick tips to help you quickly be up and running on your Zero Runner.

How Do I...

 

Here’s How

Go for a run... just like I would if I were stepping out 

the door?

Step on the Zero Runner and start running! The display 

clock starts counting up as soon as you press 

 and 

start moving, and all your run data (heart rate, calories, 

distance, pace) are clearly displayed. When you are 
done running, press 

, or just stop and step off the 

machine.

Set the stride motion so that it is most comfortable for 

me?

The Stride Control Adjusters change the tension of the 
pedal motion. If you feel that the motion is too “tight” 
for you, stop pedaling and move both adjusters toward 
the “–” position. If you feel that the motion is too 
“loose”, stop pedaling and move both adjusters toward 
the “+” position. It may take some experimentation 
before you find the adjuster position that suits you 
best. You can position the adjusters anywhere along 
the continuum from “+” to “–”  to fit your needs; 
however, 

both levers must be in the same relative 

position

 in order for the pedals to provide a smooth, 

balanced motion.

Set up a program to help me vary my stride and add 

interest to my workout?

Both 

 and 

 act as a virtual personal 

trainer to prompt you to vary your motion and enhance 

your workout.  With 

, you decide what cardio 

types of intervals you want to do, in what order, and 

for how long, setting up your workout by following the 
instructions on page 8. 

 makes the decisions 

for you, randomly alternating activities (excluding 

strength) every minute.

Set up a cardio and strength workout cross-training 

workout?

 provides a cross-training program for you 

to follow. Simply press the 

 button and set 

up your Run and Strength intervals. (See step-by-step 

instructions on page 9.)

Start over if I make a mistake in programming my 

workout?

If you are programming 

 or 

, press the 

button once to turn it off, then press it again to restart 

programming. Your accumulated workout data remains 

the same.
To reset your entire workout, press 

 to turn off the 

console, then press it again to restart your workout. All 

workout data is cleared.
