GETTING ON/OFF
YOUR ELLIPTICAL
IMPORTANT
The elliptical comes with two Dual Action Handles and a Stationary Handlebar. Always hold the
Stationary Handlebar when getting on and off the elliptical. First-time users should familiarize
themselves with using the elliptical by using the Stationary Handlebar first and then progressing
to the Dual Action Handles.
Once you have familiarized yourself with using the elliptical, you can progress to using
the Dual-Action Handles to provide a total body workout. Hands can be positioned on the
Dual Action Handles at the most appropriate position for your height and arm length.
1. Caution should always be taken when getting on and off an exercise machine.
2. Please follow the safety steps below.
3. Ensure the left Foot Pedal is in the lowest position and grasp the Stationary Handlebar with
both hands.
4. Place your left foot on the left Foot Pedal and get secure.
5. Lift your right foot over the machine and place it on the right Foot Pedal. Get balanced and
begin your workout.
Important
To get off, come to a complete stop and reverse the procedure.
Always wear rubber-soled shoes, such as tennis shoes.
It is recommended that you keep at least one hand on the Stationary Handlebar at all times,
especially when getting on or off. If you are performing a walking action with your arms or doing upper
body strength training exercises, ensure you are well balanced.
All equipment should be set up and operated on solid, level surfaces.
Correct Position
Your body should be in an upright position so that your back is straight. Keep your head up to
minimize neck and upper back strain.
Always try and use the elliptical in a rhythmical and smooth motion. If you find yourself feeling
uncomfortable or experiencing a surging type of feeling, there is probably too much tension.
The elliptical can be used in forward or reverse motion.
When going in reverse, bend your knees slightly more. More emphasis is on the buttocks and
hamstrings in the reverse motion.
