HOW TO USE THE STEPPER
The innovative console offers a manual mode and
three pacer programs. The pacer programs are
designed to help you achieve your exercise goals by
pacing your exercise. The console also features six
monitor modes that provide continuous exercise feed-
back.
HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE
When you use a
pacer program,
two columns of
bars will appear in
the display. The
left column will
show a target
pace, which is
determined by the
program you have
selected; the right
column will show your actual pace. The target pace
will change periodically during the program; as the tar-
get pace changes, simply adjust your pace to keep
both columns at the same height.
Important: The tar-
get pace is a
goal
pace. Your actual pace may be
slower than the target pace, especially during the
first few months of your exercise program. Be
sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for
you.
The three graphs on the console show how the target
pace will change during the pacer programs (see the
drawing above). Each graph is divided into ten
columns, and each column represents a two-minute
time period. The bars in each column show what the
target pace will be during that two-minute period. For
example, in the first column of graph 2, there is one
bar. This shows that during the first two minutes of
program 2, the target pace will be 40 repetitions
(steps) per minute (see the scale at the right end of
the graph). In the second column, there are three
bars. This shows that during the second two-minute
period, the target pace will be 60 repetitions per
minute. Each pacer program is twenty minutes long.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MONITOR MODES
The six monitor modes provide continuous exercise
feedback. The modes are described below.
¥ Reps/MinÑThis mode shows your pace, in repeti-
tions (steps) per minute.
¥ TimeÑIf you select one of the three pacer pro-
grams, this mode will count down the time remain-
ing in the program. If you select the manual mode,
this mode will count up the length of time you have
exercised. Note: If you stop exercising for ten sec-
onds or longer, the time mode will pause.
Note: If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on
the face of the console, remove it.
