INTRODUCTION TARGET HEART RATE ZONE CHART BEFORE YOU BEGIN For aerobic exercise benefits, it’s recommended that you exercise from between 24 and 60 minutes per session. But start slowly and gradually increase your exercise times. If you’ve been sedentary during the past year, it may be a good idea to keep your exercise times to as little as five minutes initially. Your body will need time to adjust to the new activity.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Stand near a wall with the toes of your left foot about 18" from the wall, and the right foot about 12" behind the other foot. Lean forward, pushing against the wall with your palms. Keep your heels flat and hold this position for a count of 15 seconds. Make sure that you do not bounce while stretching. Repeat on the other side. 2.

PROBLEM: The console lights up but the Time does not count. SOLUTION: Verify the following: BEFORE YOU BEGIN • Turn off machine and unplug power cord. Remove the console and check that all connections to the console are secure and not damaged or pinched. • If doing the above does not fix the problem, the speed sensor and/or magnet may have become dislodged or damaged. PROBLEM: The resistance levels seem to be incorrect, seeming too hard or too easy.
INTRODUCTION C O M M O N P R O DU C T Q U E S T I O N S WHY IS THE ELLIPTICAL I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE? BEFORE YOU BEGIN All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor.
