During a workout, if you keep your RPM rate stable and increase the Pedal Resistance, your Calorie Burn Rate will increase. This results in a more
intense workout.

To get yourself oriented with the process, begin with the Shifter set to 4. If this setting does not allow enough Pedal
travel at a casual stepping pace, adjust the Shifter toward the 1 setting until you are comfortable with the amount
the Shifter setting toward the 8 setting, allowing less Pedal movement. The Pedals should be set so they displace
enough to absorb the impact of your motion at your desired stepping pace.
Note: “Bottomed out” is when the User is unable to start a workout because the Pedals will not move. If this
occurs, safely grasp the Static Handlebars and apply your weight to the heel of the higher foot. While still
grasping the Static Handlebar, lean back slightly applying more weight onto the heel. Once the Pedals
begin to move, resume your intended workout.
It may be helpful to note the Shifter setting for future reference when there are multiple users of the machine.
