Operation of Your Elliptical Getting familiar with the control panel Power up The Elliptical is supplied with an external power supply. When power is connected to the Elliptical, the console will automatically power up. If there is no input to the console for 20 minutes the console will go to stand-by mode. In stand-by mode the console display will turn off. To turn the console on press any key. When initially powered on the console will perform an internal self-test.
Console Operation 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 and Incline may be adjusted manually by pressing the 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.
Program Keys The Program Keys are used to preview each program. There are keys for the Manual program, Up and Down keys that scroll through the 5 pre-set programs, two User programs and three Heart Rate Control programs. Press each program key to preview what the program profile looks like. If you decide that you want to try a program, press the corresponding program key and then press the Enter key to select the program and enter into the data-setting mode.
Manual The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the workload yourself and not the computer. To start the Manual program follow the instructions below or just press the Manual button then the Enter button and follow the directions in the message window. 1. Press the Manual key then press the Enter key. 2. The message window will ask you to enter your Age.
Fat Burn The Fat Burn program is designed, as the name implies, to maximize the burning of fat. There are many schools of thought on the best way to burn fat but most experts agree that a lower exertion level that stays at a steady workload is the best. The absolute best way to burn fat is to keep your heart rate at around 60% to 70% of its maximum potential. This program does not use heart rate but simulates a lower, steady exertion workout.
Interval The Interval program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by periods of low intensity. This program increases your endurance by depleting your oxygen level followed by periods of recovery to replenish oxygen. Your cardio vascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more efficiently this way. Work Profile Incline Profile Programming Preset Programs: 1. Select the desired program using the program up and down keys then press the Enter key. 2.
Custom User Defined Programs There are two customizable User programs that allow you to build and save your own workout. The two programs, User 1 and User 2, operate exactly the same way so there is no reason to describe them separately. You can build your own custom program by following the instructions below or you can save any other program after you complete it as a custom program. Both programs allow you to further personalize it by adding your name. 1. Press the User 1 or User 2 key.
Heart Rate programs Before we get started, a word about Heart Rate: 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.
Rate of Perceived Exertion Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout. If you listen to your body, it will tell you all of these things.
Heart Rate Control Program operation To start the HRC program follow the instructions below or just select the HRC program then the Enter button and follow the directions in the message window. 1. Select the HRC program then press the Enter key. 2. The message window will ask you to enter your Weight. You may enter your weight using the Up and Down keys or the numeric key pad, then press the Enter key to accept the new number and proceed on to the next screen. 3. You are now asked to enter your Age.
Maintenance: 1. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout. 2. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two reasons: i. The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible. It may be necessary to use a larger wrench than the one provided if you cannot tighten the bolts sufficiently.
