How Often Should You Exercise

Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become

short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or measured

by the machine’s computer for reference purposes only. The heart rate displayed on the console is an approximation and

should be used for reference only.

• 3 times a week for about 14 minutes each day.

• Schedule workouts in advance and try to follow the schedule.

Note: If you are new to exercise (or returning to a regular exercise program), and you are unable to comfortably complete 14 minutes of

continuous exercise at one time, just do 5 – 10 minutes, and gradually increase your workout time until you can reach a 14 minute total.

Intensity of Workout

To increase the intensity of your workout:

• Push yourself to increase the number of Pedal revolutions per minute.

• Place your feet further out toward the rear of the Pedals.

• Increase the Resistance Level and keep your RPM consistent, or increase it as well.

• Use your upper and lower body at dierent levels.

• Shift your grip location on the Handlebars to work out other parts of your upper body.

Hand Placement (Grip Selection)

This ﬁtness machine is equipped with multiple Handlebars which allow for a variety of dierent types of workouts. As you progress

on your ﬁtness routine, shift your hand placement to target dierent muscle groups.

Exercise on this machine requires coordination and balance. Be sure to anticipate that changes in speed and resistance

level can occur during workouts, and be attentive in order to avoid loss of balance and possible injury.

The Dynamic Handlebars allow for a variety of upper body workouts. When starting out, place your hands where it feels most

comfortable and stable on the Dynamic Handlebars.

The Static Handlebars below the Console Assembly can be used to add stability during a workout, and for mounting and dismounting.

Grasp the Static Handlebars for a workout focused on legs. Be aware of the motion of the Dynamic Handlebars during the workout.

Mounting and Dismounting Your Machine

Care should be used when mounting or dismounting the machine.

Be aware that the Pedals and the Dynamic Handlebars are connected and when either of these parts move the other does as

well. In order to avoid possible serious injury, grasp the Static Handlebars to steady yourself.

Be sure there is nothing under the Pedals before moving anything on the machine.

To mount your ﬁtness machine:

1. Move the Pedals until the one nearest to you is in the lowest position.

2. Grasp the Static Handlebars under the Console Assembly.

3. Steadying yourself with the Static Handlebars, step up onto the lowest Pedal and place your other foot onto the opposite Pedal.

Note: “Bottomed out” is when the User is unable to start a workout because the Pedals will not move. If this occurs, safely grasp

the Static Handlebars and apply your weight to the heel of the higher foot. While still grasping the Static Handlebar, lean back

slightly applying more weight onto the heel. Once the Pedals begin to move, resume your intended workout.
