BEFORE YOU  BEGIN
PROPER USAGE
This equipment offers a variety of foot positions. Moving your foot 
to the forward most position of the foot pad increases your step 
height, which will create a feel similar to a step machine. Placing 
your foot toward the back of the foot pad decreases your step height 
and creates more of a gliding feel, similar to a smooth walk or run. 
Always make sure your entire foot is secured on the foot pad.
This equipment also allows you to pedal both forward and backwards 
to offer a variation to your workout and to focus on other major 
leg muscle groups such as your hamstrings and calves.
To determine proper workout position, stand on the pedal with 
your foot on the center of the pedal. Keep your knees slightly 
bent at all times. You should be able to pedal without locking 
your knees or shifting your weight from side to side.
BRAKE SYSTEM
This equipment utilizes magnetic resistance to set specific 
levels of resistance. The resistance level setting in addition to 
the RPM is used to determine the power (watts) output.
