BEFORE YOU BEGIN Congratulations for selecting the new PROFORM® REFLEX STEP elliptical exerciser. The REFLEX STEP is a smooth exerciser that moves your feet in a natural elliptical path, minimizing the impact on your knees and ankles. And the unique REFLEX STEP features adjustable resistance and an easy-to-use console to help you get the most from your exercise. tions after reading this manual, please see the front cover of this manual.
ASSEMBLY Assembly requires two persons. Place all parts of the elliptical exerciser in a cleared area and remove the packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly requires the included hex keys and your own Phillips screwdriver , adjustable wrench , and rubber mallet . Use the drawings below to identify the small parts used for assembly.
1. 1 To make assembly easier, read the information on page 5 before you begin assembling the elliptical exerciser. 33 22 34 22 Identify the Front Stabilizer (10), which has Wheels (22) attached. Make sure that the Front Stabilizer is turned so the Wheels are not touching the floor. While another person lifts the front of the Frame (1), attach the Front Stabilizer to the Frame with two M10 x 75mm Carriage Bolts (34) and two M10 Nylon Locknuts (33). 2.
4. The Console (23) requires four “AA” batteries; alkaline batteries are recommended. IMPORTANT: If the elliptical exerciser has been exposed to cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room temperature before inserting batteries into the Console. If you do not do this, the console displays or other electronic components may become damaged.
7. Identify the Left Handlebar (6), which is marked with a “L” sticker. Insert the Left Handlebar into one of the Handlebar Legs (5); make sure that the Handlebar Leg is turned so the hexagonal holes are on the indicated side. Attach the Left Handlebar with two M8 x 45mm Button Bolts (50) and two M8 Nylon Locknuts (38). Make sure that the Nylon Locknuts are inside the hexagonal holes. Do not tighten the Button Bolts yet. 7 8 6 Apply a generous amount of the included grease to the Pivot Axle (7).

Slide a Spring Spacer (63) and a 23mm Wave Washer (83) onto the axle; make sure that the Spring Spacer is turned so the flat side is facing the elliptical exerciser.

To turn on the console, press any button or begin pedaling. The display will light and the console will be ready for use. 2. Select the manual mode.
HOW TO USE A SMART PROGRAM As you exercise, the display will prompt you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace setting for the current segment. When the word “faster” appears in the display, increase your pace. When the word “slower” appears, decrease your pace. When the center of the target flashes, maintain your current pace. 1. Turn on the console. To turn on the console, press any button or begin pedaling. The display will light and the console will be ready for use. 2. Select a smart program.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. 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 number in your training zone.

Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, backs of knees, and back. 2 2. Hamstring Stretch Sit with one leg extended.
