on the skis at all times. Note: There is no defined  
range of motion for your stride. Increase the ski  
resistance if you slide away from the hip pad. As  
you exercise, you may want to increase or  
decrease your stride depending on your comfort  
level. Once this motion feels comfortable, move on.

ADD ARM SWINGS TO THE LEG MOTION  
1. Continue your leg motion. Keep one hand on the  
handlebar or the hip pad for balance. Swing your  
other arm at your side. When your left leg is for-  
ward, your left arm should be back. Repeat this  
process with your other arm.  
Resistance Clamp

2. When you are comfortable swinging each arm sep-  
arately, try swinging both arms. Swing your arms  
naturally. Practice this motion until it feels comfort-  
able.

1. Set the arm cord resistance at a comfortable level.  
Grasp the handgrips. Continue your leg motion.  
Ski  
2. Pull the handgrips through your natural arm swing.  
When your right leg is forward, your right hand  
should be back; when your left leg is forward, your  
left hand should be back. Practice this motion until  
it feels comfortable.  
START WITH LEG MOTION ONLY  
Note: See page 6 for steps 1, 2, and 3.  
1. Adjust the ski resistance and the elevation.  
(Beginners may prefer to start with the ski exerciser  
in the lowest elevated position.) Make sure that  
the flywheel is not touching the floor.  
Use the tips below to coordinate the arm and leg  
motions:  
1. If combining the arm and leg motions is difficult,  
keep practicing the leg motion. Incorporate the arm  
motion only when you feel comfortable with the leg  
motion.  
2. Adjust the hip pad to the proper height. Make sure  
that the hip pad adjustment knobs are tight. The hip  
pad is designed for you to push against; however,  
do not lean over it. There may be some movement  
to the upright.  
2. When you incorporate the arm motion, try to swing  
your arms naturally. Allow one arm to pull the other  
arm forward. Keep the arm cord taught.  
3. Hold the handlebar or the hip pad for balance. Do  
not lean forward. Keep your weight on your feet  
and your back straight. Increase the ski resis-  
tance if you slide away from the hip pad.  
3. Keep your waist in contact with the hip pad at all  
times to hold back your forward motion. If you feel  
that you are sliding away from the hip pad,  
increase the ski resistance.  
4. Begin to ski. Push your right foot back, and then  
your left. Do not pull your right foot forward until the  
left is pushing back. Do not bring either foot in  
front of your body. Continue to move both feet  
with a smooth walking motion. Start with short  
strides. You will feel the ski resistance as you move  
your foot backward. Let your heel rise naturally at  
the back of your stride. Keep the balls of your feet  
4. Resistance is felt only when you push your feet  
backward. Always keep your weight on the ski you  
are pushing backward. Avoid leaning forward. Keep  
your weight over your feet, your shoulders back,  
and your head up. Find a focal point; this will help  
you keep your head up and your back straight.

LUBRICATING THE RESISTANCE PAD  
5. Check the groove of the flywheel for any rust or  
corrosion.  
The leather resistance pad beneath the pulley has  
been oiled for quiet, smooth braking action. However,  
the pad will require re-oiling if it dries due to its sur-  
roundings. We recommend inspecting the resistance  
pad every three months.  
6. Use fine to very fine steel wool to spot rub any rust  
or corrosion. Clean the entire flywheel with steel  
wool if necessary.  
1. Place a cloth or a piece of plastic under the ski  
exerciser to protect your floor.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Most ski exerciser problems can be solved by following the steps below. Find the problem that applies,  
and follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, please call our Customer Service  
Department.  
PROBLEM: The console does not function properly.  
SOLUTION: a. Make sure that both ends of the console wire are fully plugged in (see assembly step 6 on page  
5).  
b. If the console does not function properly, or if the display becomes faint, the batteries should be  
replaced. See assembly step 5 on page 5 for installation instructions.  
PROBLEM: The arm cords are tangled.  
WARNING:  
The pulley will get hot during use. Avoid touching the pulley imme-  
diately after use.  
SOLUTION: a. Detach the handgrips by untying the  
knots inside of the handgrips and  
removing the M6 washers (see HOW

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your  
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and  
adequate rest are essential for successful results.  
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your  
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle num-  
ber in your training zone as you exercise.  
WARNING:  
Before beginning this or  
Aerobic Exercise  
any exercise program, consult your physician.  
This is especially important for individuals over  
the age of 35 or individuals with pre-existing  
health problems.  
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-  
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise  
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for  
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand  
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the  
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,  
adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart  
rate is near the highest number in your training zone.  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the  
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.  
The proper intensity level can be found by using your  
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-  
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burn-  
ing, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
Each workout should include three important parts: a  
warm-up, training zone exercise, and a cool-down.  
Warming up—Begin each workout with 5 to 10 min-  
utes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up  
increases your body temperature, heart rate and circu-  
lation in preparation for exercise.  
Training zone exercise—After warming up, increase  
the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is in  
your training zone for 20 to 30 minutes. (During the  
first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep  
your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20  
minutes.)  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
at the top of the chart (ages are rounded off to the  
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers below  
your age. The three numbers are your “training zone.”  
The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for  
fat burning; the middle number is the heart rate for  
maximum fat burning; and the highest number is the  
heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
Cooling down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10 min-  
utes of stretching. This will increase your flexibility and  
will help to prevent post-exercise problems.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three  
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest  
between workouts. Five minutes of exercise, four  
times a day, may be sufficient when you begin an  
exercise program. Slowly increase your workout time  
as your fitness level improves. After a few months of  
regular exercise, you may complete up to five work-  
outs each week, if desired. Find the best time of day  
for your workouts, and then stick with it.  
Burning Fat  
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-  
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.  
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body  
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-  
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does  
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If  
your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your  
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num-  
ber in your training zone as you exercise.  
Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a  
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
