CAUTION: BEFORE BEGINNING ANY EXERCISE PROGRAM, ALWAYS CONSULT

SHORTNESS OF BREATH, STOP EXERCISING AND CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN

ASSEMBLY
CAUTION! There are several areas during the assembly process of a elliptical train-
er that special attention must be paid. It is very important to follow the assembly
instructions correctly and to make sure all parts are firmly tightened. If the assem-
bly instructions are not followed correctly, the elliptical trainer could have frame
parts that are not tightened and will seem loose and may cause irritating noises.
To prevent damage to the elliptical trainer, the assembly instructions must be
reviewed and corrective actions should be taken.

An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine
your goals. Is your primary goal for exercising on your Elliptical Trainer to lose
weight? Improve muscle? Burn Stress? Prepare for the spring racing schedule?
Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise
program. Below are some common exercise goals:
If possible try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms, and then
put your goals in writing. The more specific you can be, the easier it will be to track
your progress. If your goals are long term, divide them up into monthly and week-
ly segments. Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation bene-
fits. Short term goals are easier to achieve. Your Elliptical Trainer console provides
you with several readouts that can be used to record your progress. You can track
Distance, Calories or Time. Time is the most important and useful of test func-
tions.
