tinuous exercise feedback. You can even measure  
your heart rate using the built-in handgrip pulse sensor. Resistance Programs  
The console also features four resistance programs.  
Note: The console requires four “D” batteries (not  
included). If batteries have not been installed, see  
step 7 on page 7. If there is a sheet of clear plastic  
on the face of the console, remove it.  
Each program automatically controls the resistance of  
the elliptical exerciser as it guides you through an  
effective workout.  
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the  
steps beginning on page 11. To use a resistance pro-  
gram, see page 12. To use the MyTracks™  
StepCounter program, see page 13.  
MyTracks™ StepCounter  
Walking is one of the most popular exercises world-  
wide. Walking does not require advanced conditioning  
or special skills, yet it produces numerous benefits,  
such as increased calorie burning, a slimmer waist,  
toned muscles, enhanced energy and stamina, lower  
blood pressure, and reduced stress.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
WARNING:  
Before beginning this or any exercise pro-  
gram, consult your physician. This is espe-  
cially important for individuals over the age  
of 35 or individuals withpre-existing health  
problems.  
Fat Burning  
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 or the middle number in your training zone as you  
exercise.  
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.  
Various factors may affect the accuracy of  
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is  
intended only as an exercise aid in determin-  
ing heart rate trends in general.  
Aerobic Exercise  
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.  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your  
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and  
adequate rest are essential for successful results.  
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 the following three parts:  
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching  
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your  
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-  
ration for exercise.  
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-  
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training  
zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise pro-  
gram, do not keep your heart rate in your training  
zone for longer than 20 minutes.)  
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This  
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will  
help to prevent post-exercise problems.  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the  
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above  
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 recommended  
heart rate for maximum fat burning; and the highest  
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three work-  
outs each week, with at least one day of rest between  
workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you  
may complete up to five workouts each week, if  
desired. The key to success is make exercise a regu-  
lar and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES  
1
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the  
right. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.  
1. Toe Touch Stretch  
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward  
from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you  
reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15  
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back  
of knees, and back.  
2
2. Hamstring Stretch  
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot  
toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended  
leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15  
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches:  
Hamstrings, lower back, and groin.  
3
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch  
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your  
hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back  
foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward, and  
move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.  
Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the  
achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves,  
achilles tendons, and ankles.  
4
4. Quadriceps Stretch  
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp  
one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your  
buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3  
times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
