Calorie Counter
The Health Monitor can give you an approximate
value for the number of calories that you have burnt
while you have used the stepper. After you have
stopped pedaling, press the “MODE” button and keep
it depressed until you hear a beep, and then let it go.

step count and the timer will be ashing. The timer will
still continue. Press the “MODE” button again.
After you press the “MODE” button the ashing ar-
row will continue to ash by your step count, but the
arrow by the calorie counter- “CAL” will now begin to
ash and line two will indicate the number of calories
that you have burnt. In the example, 32 steps have
used 3.84 calories. This is an approximation based
on each pedal consuming 0.12 calories. Ten pedals
will consume 1.2 Calories.

button until you hear a “Beep” and then press it again
for each 5 minutes of time that you wish.
