MOUNTAIN

This program takes the user gradually up to a high resistance level, then brings the

resistance level back down to the starting point. This program simulates what one

might encounter on a true mountain course. This is a dicult program since higher

tension levels are maintained for long periods of time.

HILL

This program takes the user through two hill proles. Resistance changes are small

during this program. This is a good program to get started with or for someone look-

ing for a lower stress workout.

RANDOM

This program randomly generates a new program prole every time it is chosen. This

allows you to keep the workouts fresh and motivating. When you scroll thru the pro-

grams to reach the RANDOM program, you will be able to see the program prole.

INTERVAL PROGRAMS OVERVIEW

These programs give users the best of both worlds. Lower intensity levels can provide

eective fat burning while higher intensity levels can provide eective cardiovascu-

lar training. The E5000 combines these benets in three eective Interval programs.

INTERVAL

This program simulates interval training thru a series of two hill proles.

INTERVAL MOUNTAIN

This program simulates interval training thru a dicult mountain prole.

INTERVAL SPEED TRAINING

This program simulates interval training with more extreme levels of high and low

intensity levels.

USER PROFILES:

U1/U2

User Proles U1 and U2 allow you to customize and save an exercise session.

to bring the console back to full functionality.

Console Operation

HEART RATE PROGRAMS (See the MONITORING YOUR HEART RATE section for more information)

Heart rate control programs are designed to automatically change resistance to keep

your heart rate at a predetermined level based on the selected Heart Rate program.

Each Heart Rate program is designed with a specic goal in mind.

If no Heart Rate signal is detected for 10 seconds, the MESSAGE WINdOW will show “NO

DETECTED HR”. If this continues for 40 seconds, the MESSAGE WINdOW will show “ABORT

PROGRAM” for 3 seconds then interrupt the Heart Rate Control program and return

to Program Mode.

HOW HEART RATE PROGRAMS WORK

Change in Heart Rate (

HR) = Beats per minute dierence between

Target Heart Rate (THR) and Current Heart Rate (CHR).

or : HR = THR (bpm) - CHR (bpm)

The Heart Rate Programs will behave in the following manner:

HR equal to 5

Resistance level stays the same. The MESSAGE WINdOW will show “IN HR TARGET” for 3

seconds then toggle back to workout information.

HR greater than 5

Resistance level decreases. If the current resistance level is 1, then the

MESSAGE WINdOW will display “STRIDE SLOWER” for 3 seconds. The console’s computer

will check the user’s Heart Rate every 40 seconds and adjust the resistance level to t

the Target Heart Rate.

HR less than 5

Resistance level will increase. If the current resistance level is 20, the MESSAGE WIN-

dOW will show “STRIDE FASTER” for 3 seconds. The console’s computer will check the

user’s Heart Rate every 40 seconds and adjust the resistance level to t the Target

Heart Rate.

% (TARGET HEART RATE)

% Target Heart Rate allows the user to select a percentage of Maximum Heart Rate

(See section titled MONITORING YOUR HEART RATE for more information) that would

like to be maintained during the exercise session. The percentage range can be var-

ied from 50% to 85%.

HR 80% (CARDIO)

HR 80% maintains the Target Heart Rate at 80% of the Maximum Heart Rate by au-

tomatically adjusting resistance levels. This program provides for a high intensity,

cardiovascular workout.

Console Operation

HR 65% (FAT BURN)

HR 65% maintains the Target Heart Rate at 65% of the Maximum Heart Rate by au-

tomatically adjusting the resistance levels. This program provides the ultimate fat

burning workout.

HR HILL (65-75-85%)

HR Hill simulates hill training by changing the Target Heart Rate thru 3 dierent per-

centages. The changes will occur as follows:

65% - 75% - 85% - 75% - 65% -75% - 85% etc.

Each percentage will be held for 3 minutes before changing to the next percentage.

HR INT (HILL INTERVAL)

The HR INTERVAL program alternates between 65% and 85% of your Max HR. This

program provides an excellent fat burn and cardiovascular workout. Each percent-

age will be held for 4 minutes before alternating to the next percentage.

MESSAGE WINdOW. Use the MORE /LESS buttons to change the unit of measure. To

conrm the selection, press the ENTER/SCAN button.

CONSOLE TESTING

Display Test

The display test allows the user the ability to test the MESSAGE WINdOW and the PRO-

fILE WINdOW display for correct functionality. The display test is used perform a visual

hardware check by allowing the MESSAGE WINdOW and the PROfILE WINdOW display the

opportunity to display every LED in predetermined sequences. The MESSAGE WINdOW

will display and cycle through the characters <0, 1, ... , 9> and <A, B, ... , F>. The PRO-

fILE WINdOW will display and cycle through all the columns and rows illuminating an

entire column or row with every cycle. To access the display test, rst remove power

and then reapply power to the elliptical. Once the elliptical is powered on, press the

MORE and LESS buttons together and hold for 2 seconds.

Button Test

The button test allows the user to determine if the console’s buttons are fully func-

tional. Once the display test has been performed, press the ENTER/SCAN button to

activate the button test. LEDs will be displayed next to the buttons as shown in the

gure below.

Pressing each button individually will turn o the adjacent LED signifying that each

of the pressed buttons are active. When all the console buttons have been pressed,

all the LEDs should be o in the PROfILE WINdOW display indicating that the buttons

are working correctly. To exit this test once it has been completed, press the PROGRAM

button.

Monitoring Your Heart Rate

To obtain the greatest cardiovascular benets from your exercise workout, it is im-

portant to work within your target heart rate zone. The American Heart Association

(AHA) denes this target as 60% -75% percent of the Maximum Heart Rate.

The Maximum Heart Rate may be roughly calculated by subtracting the user’s age

from 220.

The Maximum Heart Rate and aerobic capacity naturally decreases as the user ages.

This may vary from one person to another, but use this number to nd your approxi-

mate eective target zone. For example, the Maximum Heart Rate for an average 40

year-old is 180 bpm. The target heart rate zone is 60%-75% of 180 or 108-135 bpm.

See the FITNESS SAFETY section.

Before beginning a workout, check the normal resting heart rate. The user can place

their ngers lightly against the neck or wrist over the main artery. After nding the

pulse, count the number of beats in 10 seconds. Multiply the number of beats by six

to determine your pulse rate per minute. It is recommend to take a heart rate mea-

surement at rest, after warming up, during the workout and two minutes into cooling

down after the workout, to accurately track progress as it relates to better tness.

During your rst several months of exercising, the AHA recommends aiming for the

lower part of the target heart rate zone - 60%, then gradually progressing up to 75%.

According to the AHA, exercising above 75% of the Maximum Heart Rate may be too

strenuous unless the user is in top physical condition. Exercising below 60% of the

maximum will result in minimal cardiovascular conditioning.

CHECK YOUR PULSE RECOVERY RATE

If your pulse is over 100 bpm ve minutes after stopping exercising, or if it’s higher

than normal the morning after exercising, the user’s exertion may have been too

strenuous for their current tness level. Rest and reduce the intensity next time.

Monitoring Your Heart Rate

FITNESS SAFETY

The Heart Rate chart indicates average rate zones for dierent ages. A variety of dif-

ferent factors (including medication, emotional state, temperature and other con-

ditions) can aect the target heart rate zone that is best for you. Your physician or

health care professional can help you determine the exercise intensity that is appro-

priate for your age and condition.

(MHR) = Maximum Heart Rate

(THR) = Target Heart Rate

220 - Age = Maximum Heart Rate (MHZ)

MHZ x .60 = 60% of your Maximum Heart Rate.

MHZ x .75 = 75% of your Maximum Heart Rate.

For example, if you are 30 years old, your calculations will be as follows:

220 - 30 = 190

190 x .60 = 114 (Low End or 60% of MHZ)

190 x .75 = 142 (High End or 75% of MHZ)

30 Year-Old (THR) Target Heart Rate would be 114-142

Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) Calculation

Heart Rate Training Zone Chart

Chest Strap Operation

Your Endurance

Elliptical has the capability to determine Heart Rate with the use of

a Heart Rate Chest Strap. A Heart Rate Chest Strap has been provided with your unit

or may be available as an accessory for use with your unit depending on the Endur-

ance

model purchased. In all Heart Rate Control programs, the console only accepts

the heart rate signal from the chest strap transmitter while the pulse grip heart rate

function is disabled. The requirement to wear the chest strap is due to the superior

accuracy of a chest strap transmitter compared to the pulse grip sensors.

It is suggested for the Chest Strap Transmitter that you position the rectangular trans-

mitter as close to your heart as possible, against the skin, 1-2 inches below the pecto-

ral muscles. For best results, moisten the back of the transmitter for better contact.

If no Heart Rate signal is detected for 10 seconds, the MESSAGE WINdOW will show “NO

DETECTED HR”. If this continues for 40 seconds, the MESSAGE WINdOW will show “ABORT

PROGRAM” for 3 seconds then interrupt the Heart Rate Control program and return to

Program Mode.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND TIPS FOR CHEST STRAP

It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that all users of this unit have read the

Owner’s Manual and are familiar with warnings and safety precautions.

Do not place chest strap near devices that generate large magnetic elds. TV sets,

electric motors, radios, and high voltage power lines can aect the transmitter’s

performance. These items can interfere with the heart rate signal and possibly af-

fect the heart rate readings on the console.

Handle the Chest Strap with care. Dropping the transmitter might cause damage

that could void the warranty.

Do not use the chest strap if you have a cardiac pacemaker or if your are taking

medications for a heart condition. Medication or electrical pulses from the pace-

maker can interfere with accurate heart rate readings.

Do not bend the strips inside the chest strap. This can cause the chest strap to

loose conductivity.

The chest strap has batteries that need to be replaced periodically. A faulty battery

can cause inaccurate reading.

motors, radios, and high voltage power lines can affect the transmitter’s performance. These

Stretching & flexibility

Flexibility is an important component of physical tness and needs to be addressed in

a resistance training program. The two main purposes for stretching are injury preven-

tion and a faster rate of recovery from exercise. Stretching should be performed in both

the warm up and cool down phases of a training session. A good general guideline is

that each workout session should be preceded by 5 to 15 minutes of general warm up,

followed by 8 to 12 minutes of stretching, and concluded with 4 to 5 minutes of post-

exercise stretching.

A regular stretching program will loosen muscle tissue, allowing an increased range of

motion. This helps prevent micro-tears at the muscle-tendon junction. Almost 90% of

all injuries from muscle strain occur at the muscle-tendon junction. Repeated injury at

this junction can lead to a build-up of scar tissue, which impedes range of motion and

adds stress to the joints.

Begin by stretching the major muscle groups rst. Move in and out of your stretches with

smooth, slow, controlled motion. Hold the stretch for at least 10 seconds when you feel

you have reached your muscle’s maximum distance. Do not use fast, hurried or reckless

motions when stretching. Fast and bouncy motions will increase the risk of injury.

The most common and most popular type of stretching is the static stretching technique.

This form of stretching involves voluntary, complete relaxation of the muscles while they

are elongated. A static stretch is a constant, steady stretch in which the end position is

held for 10 to 30 seconds. This technique is popular because it is easy to learn, eective,

and accompanied by minimal soreness with the least risk of injury.

Ballistic stretching involves a bouncing or bobbing movement during the stretch. The

nal position in the movement is not held. Ballistic stretching is unpopular because of

the increased amount of delayed muscle soreness and the possibility of injury during the

stretching exercise. Ballistic stretching is not recommended.

A dynamic stretch involves exibility during sport specic movements. Dynamic stretch-

ing is similar to ballistic stretching in that it utilizes movement, but dynamic stretch-

ing includes movements that may be specic to a sport or movement pattern. Dynamic

stretching is most common among track and eld athletes, but is also used in other

sports, such as basketball and volleyball. An example of dynamic stretching would be a

track sprinter performing high knees with an emphasis on knee height and arm action,

not on horizontal speed.

Maintenance

Your Endurance

E5000 Elliptical has been manufactured to withstand many hours of use

with minimal maintenance. Here are some maintenance tips to keep your Endurance

E5000

Elliptical running at its best.

IF SQUEAKING NOISE OCCURS

Your Endurance

E5000 Elliptical may occasionally require Multi-Purpose Grease to be ap-

plied onto the underside of the foot pedal tube as shown. A small tube of Multi-Purpose

Grease was included with your unit and can also be purchased at most stores. DO NOT USE

WD-40 OR SILICON SPRAY since these compounds will increase squeaking noise over time.

Apply the Multi-Purpose Grease onto the bottom of both foot pedal tubes in the area that

makes contact with the roller wheel as shown below. During normal usage (30 minutes of

exercise per day), Multi-Purpose Grease is to be applied every 3 months or as needed.

CLEANING

Periodically wipe down your machine with mild, soapy water or a diluted general purpose

non-abrasive household cleaner. Cleaner should never be applied directly to any part of the

equipment. Instead, place the non-abrasive cleaning solution on a soft cloth and wipe down

the unit. The elliptical should be wiped down to remove sweat after each use.

ERROR MESSAGES

The E5000 console is equipped with auto-diagnostic technology if any fault to the machine

is to occur in order to protect the safety of the user and the integrity and reliability of the

machine. The E5000 console automatically checks the brake motor status every time the unit

is powered on. If the brake motor does not reply to the console’s diagnostic call or does not

move to its target position within 2 seconds, the console will display the error message ‘MO-

TOR ERROR’ immediately and disable button operation until power is reset. To clear the error

message, unplug then plug in the unit.

If the console still displays the error message ‘MOTOR ERROR’, contact an authorized Endur-

ance

dealer or an Endurance

factory-authorized service company or contact Endurance
