BASIC OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
11. Exercise at an intensity that keeps the weight stack arrow suspended
in the target zone. If the arrow goes too high, slow your stepping rate.
If the arrow goes too low, step faster.
12. Your legs move the pedal arms against the resistance of the weight
stack at a speed set by the console. Relax your upper body. The
primary purpose of the handgrips is to aid you getting on and off the
machine.
13. You will get the most benefit from your workout if you move the
pedals through the greatest range of motion. Push each pedal down
as close to the floor as possible and let it passively return as close to
your chest as possible.
14. Change your rate of pedal movement (faster or slower as needed), not
the range of motion, to keep up with changes in speed. As you
become comfortable with exercise motion, press [LEVEL:
∧]
and
[LEVEL:
∨]
to adjust your speed.
15. You may vary the emphasis of your workout by sliding up or down on
the seat. Moving your body down on the pad exaggerates the pedal
range of motion, working the hamstring and gluteal muscles. Moving
your body up on the pad shortens the stroke, emphasizing the
quadriceps muscles.
Rest Periods
16. You can stop and rest as many times as necessary for up to one
minute for each rest period during all programs. The console returns
to the start screen if you rest longer than the allotted rest period.
Follow the onscreen prompt to continue your work out after a rest
period. To stop completely, either press [STOP], or stop the exercise
movement and step off the machine.
Cool Down
17. When you are finished with your workout, the machine will slow
down and the message “GOAL ATTAINED” will be displayed. You can
