M7i WHEELCHAIR-ACCESSIBLE TOTAL BODY TRAINER
The M7i is intended for cardiovascular, strength, and power conditioning
exercise. Always attempt exercises for the rst time with the assistance
of a spotter. Be aware of the potential for your wheelchair or mobility
device to tip over in any direction. Supervision by a spotter is required
if you have a physical complaint; a disability; or suffer from, have been
diagnosed with, or have a family history of any disease or illness.
TOTAL BODY TRAINING (Figure 14) is an all-around exercise suited
for users of any tness level that provides a challenging, yet accessible,
workout. The upper and lower body are engaged for cardiovascular and
pulmonary endurance, as well as for strength and power conditioning.
INDEPENDENT UPPER BODY TRAINING (Figure 15) is an advanced
workout position that focuses on upper body muscle groups for a high-
intensity cardiovascular exercise. A rm grip and complete control of
the Handles are required for optimal workout and to prevent injury.
Optional Adaptive Wrist Straps are available for individuals with limited or
impaired grip (featured in Figure 13, page 16).
INDEPENDENT LOWER BODY TRAINING (Figure 16) is a workout
position that focuses on the lower body muscle groups for strength and
power conditioning. Achieve a high-intensity cardiovascular exercise at
higher SPMs. Optional Leg Stabilizers are available for individuals with limited
leg control (featured in Figure 13, page 16).
Combine resistance and intensity, along with varied time durations, for
your desired cardiovascular, strength, and power conditioning.
Remember: Take the time to pedal during cool down, and stretch after
your workout. Download workout averages to any Bluetooth
®
smart
device with an M7i capable application.

EXERCISE POSITIONS
Consult your physician before beginning any exercise program. To help ensure a safe, comfortable, and effective workout,
remember to:
1. Warm up: Proper warm up before you begin your workout helps to get your muscles ready for exercise and can help
prevent serious injury.
2. Control resistance: Always work with resistance that you can handle through a full range of motion. Know your limitations.
3. Breathe: Keep your breathing at a constant but steady pace. Avoid holding your breath as this may cause physical harm.
4. Keep your form and control: Learn and know how to perform the exercise correctly. Keep a steady/fluid motion throughout
your workout. If you are able, engage your abdominal muscles to help keep balance and protect your spine.
EXERCISE GUIDELINE
CAUTION: PROPER WARM UP REQUIRED TO HELP PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY. The M7i should only be used
with proper instruction. Always maintain good form and control during exercise. If you feel pain or are unable to
maintain good form, stop immediately. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury. If you are
unclear on proper form, consult a physical therapist or trainer.
CAUTION: Always secure the Foot Straps, Safety Recoiler
Hooks, and Handles before starting your workout to prevent
risk of serious injury.
