HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER Due to the size and weight of the elliptical exerciser, moving it requires two persons. Stand in front of the elliptical exerciser, hold the upright, and place one foot against one of the front wheels. Pull on the upright and have a second person lift the track until the elliptical exerciser will roll on the front wheels.
HOW TO ADJUST THE SELECTORS To adjust the elliptical exerciser so that the pedals move in a more vertical path, pivot the two selectors to the high position; to adjust the elliptical exerciser so that the pedals move in a more horizontal path, pivot the selectors to the low position. IMPORTANT: Make sure to adjust both selectors to the same position. The pedals on the elliptical exerciser move your feet in a natural elliptical path.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES WARNING: 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.
