CONSOLE

MUSCLE ACTIVATION FIGURE

There is an anatomical figure located at the top of the console. This figure will light all areas

that are activated when using the elliptical trainer. These will light up during any of the

programs. You can control which muscles are activated by changing up the pedal pattern or

switching your hand position during the manual program. The pre-set programs will determine

which muscles are activated by automatically adjusting the incline. Generally the following

guidelines hold true:

 The upper body lights will activate when you are either holding onto the swing arms or at

anytime yours hands aren’t holding onto the pulse grip sensors.

 The lower body lights will activate in three degrees of engagement: Green represents

minimal muscle involvement, Amber represents medium involvement, and Red represents

full or heavy activation.

 These are the different scenarios for lower body muscle

activation

 Gluteals & Quadriceps are Amber ; Hamstrings

QUICK START

This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start

key to begin, this will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from

zero and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Level Up or Down buttons.

The dot matrix display will have only the bottom row lit at first. As you increase the work load

more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The fitness bike will get harder to pedal as the

rows increase.

There are 20 levels of resistance available for plenty of variety. The first 5 levels are very easy

workloads and the changes between levels are set to a good progression for de-conditioned

users. Levels 6-10 are more challenging, but the increases in resistance from one level to the

next remain small. Levels 11-15 start getting tough as the levels jump more dramatically. Levels

16-20 are extremely hard and are good for short interval peaks and elite athletic training.

(see Using Heart Rate T

ransmitter section) will start the

PROGRAMMING THE CONSOLE

Each of the pr

ograms can be customized with your personal information and

changed to suit

your needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to

ensure the readouts ar

e corr

ect.

ou will be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering

your Age is necessary during the Heart

Rate contr

ol pr

ograms to ensure the corr

ect

settings are in the program for your Age. Otherwise

the work settings could be too high or low for you. Entering your Weight aides in calculating a

mor

e correct Calorie

eading. Although we cannot pr

ovide an exact calorie count, we do want to

be as

close as possible.

CALORIE NOTE

: Calorie r

eadings on every piece of exer

cise equipment, whether

it is in a

gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide

monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie

burn accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines.

This is because

every person is dif

fer

ent and bur

ns calories at a dif

ferent

rate. Some good news is that you

will continue to bur

n calories at an accelerated

rate for at least an hour after you have

finished exercising!

ENTERING A PROGRAM AND CHANGING SETTINGS

When you enter a program, by pr

essing a pr

ogram key

, then

Enter

key

, you have the

option of

entering your own personal settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings, then

just pr

ess the

Start

key. This will bypass the

ogramming of data and take you directly to the

start of your workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions

in the

Message Center

. If you start a pr

ogram without changing the settings, the default or

saved

settings will be used.

NOTE: Age and W

eight default settings will change when you enter a new number

. So the last Age

and

eight enter

ed will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and W

eight the

first time

you use the elliptical, you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either your Age or

eight changes, or someone else enters a dif

fer

Heart Rate programs

The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of

exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart

rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual

choice of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is much more

enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.

To determine the benefit range in which you wish to train, you must first determine your

Maximum Heart Rate. This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 minus

your age. This will give you the Maximum heart rate (MHR) for someone of your age. To

determine the effective heart rate range for specific goals you simply calculate a

percentage your MHR. Your Heart rate training zone is 50% to 90% of your maximum heart

rate. 60% of your MHR is the zone that burns fat while 80% is for strengthening the cardio

vascular system. This 60% to 80% is the zone to stay in for maximum benefit.

For someone who is 40 years old their target heart rate zone is calculated:

220 – 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate)

180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute (60% of

maximum)

180 x .8 = 144 beats per minute (80% of

maximum)

So for a 40 year old the training zone

would be 108 to 144 beats per minute.

If you enter your age during

programming the console will perform

this calculation automatically. Entering

your age is used for the Heart Rate

control programs. After calculating your

Maximum Heart Rate you can decide

upon which goal you would like to

pursue.

The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular fitness (training

for the heart and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart above

represent the Maximum Heart Rate for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each

column. The training heart rate, for either cardiovascular fitness or weight loss, is

represented by two different lines that cut diagonally through the chart. A definition of the

lines’ goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular fitness

or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training at 80% or 60%, respectively, of your

Maximum Heart Rate on a schedule approved by your physician. Consult your physician

before participating in any exercise program.

With all Heart Rate Control elliptical machines you may use the heart rate monitor feature

without using the Heart Rate Control program. This function can be used during manual

mode or during any of the nine different programs. The Heart Rate Control program

automatically controls resistance at the pedals.
