Before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance on your ellipcal, ensure the power is turned o
and the power cord removed from the plug socket.
Prolong the life of your ellipcal by performing periodic maintenance checks. Not only does this
ensure your machine is in full working order to ensure they connue to run smoothly and reliably,
but it will save you service costs in the long run.
Cleaning
General cleaning of the unit aer use will protect the ellipcals powder-coated framework and
prevent unnecessary corrosion stains and damage to the structural components from sweat and
perspiraon. During this me check for any cracks and damage.
Pivot points
No maer what style of ellipcal trainer you have there will be areas where the arms and
legs rotate on an axle or bolt. These pivot points need to be ghtened enough so there is sll
movement in the desired direcon of travel but no sideways movement.
Excessive sideways movement causes knocking noises and extra wear. Crosstrainers with a sealed
bearing on the axle do not require greasing however units with a plasc or brass bushing should
be greased twice a year with general purpose automove grease between the axle and bush. This
ensures that the moving parts are not rubbing directly on one another and causing wear.
Joins in frame
Areas where the frame is bolted together (e.g. the upright mast to the base or the stabiliser legs
to the base) need to be kept really ght. Any movement in these areas can cause knocking or
squeaking noises during use. It pays to check once every couple of months that things haven’t
loosened o. Using a thread-locking compound is encouraged but it’s sll not a permanent
soluon, checking on a regular basis is the best bet to keep your machine running as best it
possibly can.

Warm up exercise is important in preparing the muscles for acvity whilst minimising the risk
of injury. You may choose to warm up with a light/brisk walking pace for 5-10 minutes before
stopping and performing some simple stretches. (As shown in the pictures below)
— Hamstring Stretch (Standing) Keep your knees slightly bent and slowly lean forward, back
and shoulders relaxed, reaching towards your toes. You should feel the tension and slight
discomfort in your hamstring muscles. Hold for 15-20 seconds.
Repeat 2-3 mes.
— Hamstrings Stretches (Seated) Sing on the oor preferably on
a mat, put one leg straight, the other inward and close to the
inside of the straight leg. Lean forward from the hips, reaching
towards your toes. Hold for 10-15 seconds, and relax. Repeat 3
mes for each leg (See picture 2).
— Crus and Feet Tendon Stretches Standing with two hands on
the wall or tree, one leg behind. Keeping your legs straight and
the heel on the ground, lean forward towards the wall or tree.
Hold for 10-15 seconds, and relax. Repeat 3 mes for each leg
(See picture 3).
— Quadriceps Stretches Keeping your balance with your le hand
holding onto a wall or staonery xture, grasp your right foot
with your right hand and stretch your right heel toward your
buocks slowly, unl you feel the stretch in the front of your
thigh. Hold for 10-15 seconds, and relax. Repeat 3 mes for
each leg (See picture 4).
— Sartorius (Inner Muscles of the Thigh) Muscle
— Stretches Sing down with the soles of your feet or shoes
together and your knees posioned outward. Pull your feet
towards your groin unl you can feel the stretch. Hold for 10-15
seconds, and relax. Repeat 3 mes (See picture 5).
WARM-UP EXERCISE

20
Cardiovascular training plays an important part in maintaining a healthy heart and lung funcon, so
it’s no surprise we should be paying aenon to how quickly our heart beats during exercise. The
chart above outlines a range of heart rate training zones determined by the individual’s age and
workout goals to ensure you train safely and eecvely.
Heart Rate can be measured by using the radial (wrist) or carod (neck) pulse using your index and
middle ngers, counng the beats for 10 seconds and mulplying by 6. Alternavely, the use of a
Wireless Telemetry Heart Rate strap and watch will give you an accurate Beats Per Minute (BPM)
reading.
220 – AGE = TMHR (Theorecal Maximum Heart Rate)
TMHR x 85% = (Upper Training Limit) bpm (Beats per Minute)
TMHR x 65% = (Lower Training Limit) bpm
Note: Contact heart rate may provide innaccurate readings and is designed only as a guide
Example: 220 – 39 = 181 bpm
181 x 85% (0.85) = 154 bpm (Upper Training Limit)
181 x 65% (0.65) = 118 bpm (Lower Training Limit)
