HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
To mount the elliptical, hold the handlebars and step
o
nto the pedal that is in the lower position. Then, step
onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until they begin
t
o move with a continuous motion. Note: The pedals
can turn in either direction. It is recommended that
you turn the pedals in the direction shown by the
arrow; however, for variety, you can turn the ped-
als in the opposite direction.
The handlebars are designed to add upper-body exer-
cise to your workouts. Push and pull the handlebars to
exercise your arms, shoulders, and back. For lower-
body exercise only, hold the handlebars without
pushing and pulling them.
To dismount the elliptical, wait until the pedals come to
a complete stop. Note: The elliptical does not have
a free wheel; the pedals will continue to move until
the flywheel stops. When the pedals are stationary,
step off the higher pedal first. Then, step off the lower
pedal.
