Monday–Thursday | 8:30 AM–5 PM EST
IMPORTANT: This owner’s manual is the authoritative source of
information about your Gazelle®Sprinter. Please read it carefully &
follow all the instructions.
If you are just starting an exercise program, choose a time of day that’s good
for you & then stick closely to it. Try to do your Gazelle®Sprinter workout
three times per week at rst, & then gradually progress to four or ve
days a week. Choose a time when you feel energetic, when there are few
interruptions, & when you have not eaten a heavy meal for approximately
two hours.
MOTIVATIONAL TIPS
Keep your motivation & interest high by remembering these simple tips:
• Set Goals For Yourself that are challenging but realistic. Remember,
it may take a few weeks to be able to complete the entire workout
easily, or to see changes in your weight or tness level. Just ve
minutes of exercise, done several times per day, can change your
health. Break your overall goals down into small, measurable steps.
• Record Your Progress by using the charts provided at the end of
this booklet.
• Celebrate Your Successes - even the small ones! Give yourself
incentives for reaching each of your goals, & reward yourself often.
• Take Setbacks In Stride. If you miss a day on your schedule (or even
a week), it’s not too late to get back on track. If you are having trouble
sticking to your goals, review them & make sure they are realistic.
Make adjustments as you think they are needed.
YOUR WORKOUT WILL CONSIST OF THREE PHASES:
WARM-UP
To prevent injury & maximize performance, we recommend that you begin
each workout with at least 5 to 10 minutes of exercise that gradually
increases your heart rate & warms up your muscles. You can do this by
practicing all of the basic Gazelle®Sprinter movements at a slow tempo &
easy range of motion.
Stretching exercises are always an important part of any exercise program.
We suggest that you do stretching exercises for your calves, hamstrings,
hip exors, triceps, shoulders, quads & back.
AEROBIC & MUSCLE TONING WORKOUT
To gain the health & tness benets that you seek, the warm-up should be
followed by 15 to 20 minutes of Gazelle®Sprinter gliding exercises. Build up
to this amount as your current tness level allows, & progress at a rate that is
comfortable to you. As your tness level increases you may want to gradually
increase the length of your workouts to a total of 30 minutes per day. Start
with 2 or 3 workouts per week. If losing weight is one of your goals, you may
want to gradually increase your workouts to 5 or 6 days per week. More
frequent workouts & longer durations require the body to burn more calories
& use stored fat for energy.
INTRODUCTION
EXERCISE GUIDELINES
(continued on next page)

Once the basic Gazelle®Sprinter workout is comfortable for you, interval
training offers the opportunity for greater workout variety, cardiovascular
benets & increased calorie burning. Interval training means alternating
short periods of higher intensity gliding, with periods of lower intensity
gliding. When you perform the high intensity exercises, you will work at
a level that is at the high end of your Target Heart Rate Zone. The lower
intensity exercises are at the low end of your Target Heart Rate.
Monitor your estimated heart rate throughout your workout. It can help you
determine the level of exertion that may be most appropriate for you, &
serve as a good measure of your progress toward improved tness.
Beginners can use interval training to simply alternate periods of moderate
gliding with rest periods of easy gliding. If you are having difculty
completing 20 minutes of non-stop gliding, work for 3 or 4 minutes then
rest with a very small glide for 1 minute. Repeat this until your 15 to 20
minutes are complete.
There are three variables that will help you control the intensity of
your Gazelle®Sprinter workout & keep your heart rate at a safe &
appropriate level:
• The range of motion of your legs & arms. A wider glide will be
higher intensity than a small or narrow glide. Gliding with your knees
in a neutral or straight position is easier than gliding with your knees
bent in a low position.
• Your hand position. A high or low hand grip will allow your arms or
legs to alternately work harder. A neutral or middle hand grip will be
easier than a high grip because the legs & arms will share the
workload evenly.
• The speed at which you glide. As you glide at faster tempos your
effort will increase. Slowing down the tempo at any time will make
your workout easier.
COOL DOWN & STRETCHING
Stretches can help improve exibility & relieve the tightness in muscles
that results from repetitive Sprinter movements. 10 to 15 minutes of daily
stretching is recommended. This should be done after warming up & cooling
down. Finish your workout by doing the stretches that follow.
Stretches can help improve exibility & relieve the tightness in muscles
that results from repetitive Sprinter movements. 10 to 12 minutes of daily
stretching is recommended. This should be done when warming up &
cooling down. When performing these stretches, your movements should
be slow & smooth, with no bouncing or jerking. Move into the stretch until
you feel a slight tension, not pain, in the muscle & hold the stretch for 20 to
30 seconds. Breathe slowly & rhythmically. Be sure not to hold your breath.
Remember that all stretches must be done for both sides of your body.
1. Quadriceps Stretch
Stand close to a wall, chair or other solid object. Use
one hand to assist your balance. Bend the opposite
knee & lift your heel towards your buttocks. Reach
back & grasp the top of your foot with the same side
hand. Keeping your inner thighs close together, slowly
pull your foot towards your buttocks until you feel a
gentle stretch in the front of your thigh. You do not
have to touch your buttocks with your heel. Stop pulling
when you feel the stretch. Keep your kneecap pointing
straight down & keep your knees close together. (Do
not let the lifted knee swing outward.) Hold the stretch
for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat for the other leg.
2. Calf & Achilles Stretch
Stand approximately one arms length away from a
wall or chair with your feet hip width apart. Keeping
your toes pointed forward, move one leg in close to
the chair while extending the other leg behind you.
Bending the leg closest to the chair & keeping the
other leg straight, place your hands on the chair.
Keep the heel of the back leg on the ground & move
your hips forward. Slowly lean forward from the
ankle, keeping your back leg straight until you feel a
stretch in your calf muscles. Hold for 20 to
30 seconds. Repeat for the opposite leg.
3. Overhead/Triceps Stretch
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart & your knees
slightly bent. Lift one arm overhead & bend your elbow,
reaching down behind your head with your hand toward the
opposite shoulder blade. Walk your ngertips down your
back as far as you can. Hold this position. Reach up with your
opposite hand & grasp your exed elbow. Gently assist the
stretch by pulling on the elbow. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds.
Repeat for the opposite arm.

BEFORE STARTING THIS OR ANY
OTHER EXERCISE PROGRAM,
CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN, who
can assist you in determining the target
heart rate zone appropriate for your age
& physical condition. Certain exercises,
programs or types of equipment may
not be appropriate for all people. This is
especially important for persons over
the age of 35, pregnant women, or those
with pre-existing health problems or
balance impairments.
MONITOR YOUR HEART RATE WHILE
YOU EXERCISE & KEEP YOUR
ESTIMATED PULSE RATE WITHIN
YOUR TARGET HEART RATE ZONE.
Follow the instructions below regarding
heart rate monitoring & determining
your appropriate target heart rate zone.
Effective aerobic training to improve
your tness & health requires working
out at an exercise intensity that raises
your pulse to a level that safely challenges
your heart & lungs. This level can range
between 50% - 80% of your maximum
heart rate & is called your Target Heart
Rate Zone. If you are new to exercise or
out of shape, 50% - 60% may be adequate
to promote good cardiovascular conditioning.
A well conditioned athlete may prefer to work
up to an 80% - 85% rate.
Using your estimated heart rate as an indicator of your tness level provides a
built-in work intensier. If you’re untrained, you’ll require less effort to reach your
target heart rate zone. As your cardiovascular tness improves & you become
stronger, it will require more effort for you to reach your target heart rate zone.
The chart illustrates the predicted minimum & maximum target heart rate zones
for cardiovascular tness for the average individual in good health. To use the
chart, nd your age & the corresponding minimum & maximum target heart
rate zones.
DETERMINING YOUR ESTIMATED HEART RATE
To determine your heart rate:
♥Pause just long enough from your exercise to take your pulse at your wrist.
Take a ten second reading & multiply it by six. Check the chart to see if you
are within your range according to your age.
♥Use an electronic heart rate monitor. You can purchase an electronic heart
rate monitor at a local tness store.
Remember that target heart rate zones are predictions & based on averages.
Regardless of your estimated heart rate readout, you should slow down if you
are breathless & cannot carry on a short conversation.

WARM-UP & COOL DOWN STRETCHES

12 13
GETTING STARTED
Once your Gazelle®Sprinter is assembled, make sure it is on a solid, level,
carpeted surface with plenty of clearance space behind & in front of the
swinging foot platforms. Practice getting on & off your unit a few times
until you are comfortable with this movement.
GETTING ON
Stand behind your unit facing the front
crossbar. Place one hand on each back
bar & place your left foot centered
behind the two foot platforms. Transfer
your hands, one at a time, to the front
crossbar. Keep your hands on the front
crossbar until you are completely on the
unit. Carefully place your right foot on the
right foot platform & step on. Next, bring
your left foot up to the left foot platform
& step on. Keep your hands in place
until you feel completely comfortable
& balanced. Now you are ready to
start gliding.
LEARNING TO GLIDE
Stand upright, with good posture, on the foot platforms.
Hold onto the front crossbar with your hands placed
just inside the handlebars. Begin to move your feet
back & forth in a very small, controlled glide. When
you are comfortable with this leg motion & feel
balanced, increase your stride width slightly. Keep your
knees “soft” or slightly exed & your posture upright
throughout the motion. This movement is called the
“Basic Glide”. Use this “Basic Glide” with your hands
on the front crossbar to get started, or if you want to
decrease your effort at any point during your workout.
Be sure to read the exercises explained in this manual
before doing any further gliding.
GETTING OFF
Bring your unit to a complete stop & make
sure that you feel balanced on both foot
platforms. Place both of your hands on
the front crossbar. Keep them in place
until you have completely dismounted.
Carefully bring your right foot down
& place it centered behind the two
platforms. Then, carefully bring your left
foot down behind the back bar & place it
securely on the oor. Let go of the front
crossbar, straighten up & lift your right
foot out & away from the machine.
GETTING STARTED
FOOT PLACEMENT
You will notice that your feet shift a little bit when using your Gazelle®
Sprinter. It is recommended that beginners keep their toes against the toe
plate until they feel comfortable with their balance.
HAND POSITIONS
The position of your hands on the handlebar grips will allow you to vary
the intensity of your workouts & change the emphasis from lower body to
upper body. There are four positions that are used throughout your
Gazelle®Sprinter workout.
Front Bar Grip
Place your hands on the front crossbar, just to the
inside of the handlebars. Use a rm grip without
“white knuckles”. Be sure to keep your wrists straight
& avoid leaning hard on the arms or bending at your
wrists. This grip may be used during any “Basic Glide”
exercise. Use this grip when learning to glide, or
during your warm-up & cool down.
Low Grip
Place your hands at the bottom of the handlebars.
Be sure to keep your hands on the black handlebar
grips, not on the front crossbar. This grip will decrease
the work in your upper body.
Neutral Grip
Place your hands midway between the bottom & top
of the handlebars. Use a rm grip, but try to avoid
“white knuckles”. This grip will help you attain more
equal work for both the upper & lower body.
High Grip
Place your hands at the top of the handlebars. Use a
rm grip, but try to avoid “white knuckles”. This grip
will increase the work in your upper body.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
(continued on next page)

14 15
Hands Free (Advanced Position)
Stand in an upright position on the foot platforms
with your hands on the front crossbar. When you feel
balanced, release your hands from the crossbar &
bring them into a bent elbow position at your sides
as if you were running or power walking. Practice this
position with your feet stationary, then progress to a
“Basic Glide”.
Note: Exercising without holding onto the
handlebars poses a risk of losing your balance
& falling, resulting in possible serious injury,
& should be done with care.
GENERAL WORKOUT RECOMMENDATIONS
On the following pages are eight exercises that will comprise your basic
Gazelle® Sprinter workout. Before performing any of the exercises, rst
read through these instructions for correct exercise execution.
When you are ready to begin your workout, be sure your equipment is
set-up correctly & you’ve warmed up adequately. Begin with the rst
exercise & continue through all of the exercises in one continuous cycle,
unless you need to take a break. We recommend that you perform 20 to
40 gliding repetitions of each exercise. A single repetition is counted when
both legs have glided forward & back (R + L = 1 repetition). Take time to
cool down & stretch at the end of your workout.
Remember, you will notice that your feet shift a little bit when using your
unit. It is recommended that beginners keep their toes against the toe plate
until they feel comfortable with their balance.
BE SURE TO DRINK PLENTY OF WATER BEFORE,
DURING & AFTER YOUR WORKOUT.
SWING ARM LIMITER
To help prevent over-extended strides, the unit has been equipped with a
swing arm limiter. The limiter will stop the swing arm from moving past a
certain point. During normal use of the unit, the swing arm should not come
into contact with the limiter. If the unit is being used in an excessive or
uncontrolled manner, however, the swing arm may be contacted. If this
occurs, the forward motion of the swing arm will be abruptly stopped &
may cause you to fall resulting in serious injury. Therefore, it is important
that you always use a controlled stride & gradually increase your stride
length. To determine how far the swing arm will move before coming into
contact with the limiter, you should stand on the side of the unit & slowly
pull back on the handlebar closest to you. The handlebar will stop moving
forward once it reaches the limiter. Slowly return the handlebar to its
original position.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
1) BASIC GLIDE
Stand upright on the foot platforms with your
hands in the neutral position. Your knees
should be “soft”, not locked. Glide your feet
back & forth in a controlled manner. The front
of each foot platform should glide slightly
past the base of the unit frame. Push & pull
gently with your arms to assist the leg motion.
Maintain good, upright posture throughout
this exercise, with your shoulders aligned
directly over your hips. This exercise can be
performed with the neutral, low or high hand
grip positions.
2) WIDE GLIDE
Start with a Basic Glide movement. Gradually
increase the length of your stride as far as
you comfortably can. Your heels will naturally
lift slightly as each leg moves to the back. Do
not attempt to keep your heel pressed to the
foot platform, but allow this lifting motion
to occur. Maintain good, upright posture
throughout this exercise, & a “soft” knee
position. Glide only as wide as you can while
maintaining good balance & posture. This
exercise can be performed with the neutral
or low hand grip positions.
3) LOW GLIDE
Start with a Basic Glide movement. Gradually
bend your knees deeper & increase the
length of your glide. Let your heels naturally
lift as each leg moves to the back. Maintain
upright posture throughout this exercise,
with your shoulders aligned over your hips.
Avoid bending your knees so deeply that
they bump against the front swing arms. This
exercise can be performed with the neutral
or low hand grip positions. You will feel
additional emphasis in your thighs during
this exercise.

5) FORWARD PUSH
(Advanced Exercise)
Begin with a Basic Glide or Wide Glide. Move
your hands to a high grip position. As you glide,
slowly lean forward until you feel more weight
in your arms. Keeping your wrists straight, press
forward rmly with alternating arms. Try to fully
extend each arm as you push. If you are not
able to fully extend each arm, adjust your body
position so that you have less forward lean.
Make sure you are leaning forward from your
ankles, a full body lean, rather than rounding
your back. Allow your heels to lift naturally as
each leg glides back. This exercise can be performed with the high or neutral
hand grip position. You will feel additional emphasis in the chest, front shoulder,
& the back of the upper arm during this exercise. This is an advanced exercise
that should be performed only after prociency is attained on the rst four
basic exercises. Note: Exercising while leaning forward poses a risk of losing
your balance & falling, resulting in possible serious injury, & should be done
with care.
4) HIGH GLIDE
Start with a Basic Glide movement. Lift your
heels (rise up on your toes) as you glide,
maintaining upright posture. Avoid letting
your ankles roll outward as your heels lift.
Concentrate on lifting up through the entire
body, & pulling your abdominals in to help
maintain balance. Your heels should remain
lifted throughout the exercise. This exercise
can be performed with the neutral or low hand
grip positions. You will feel additional emphasis
in your calf muscles during this exercise.
6) BACKWARD LEAN
(Advanced Exercise)
Begin with a Basic Glide. Move your hands to a
high grip position. As you glide, slowly lean back
until you feel more weight in your arms. Your
legs will glide in front of your body. Keeping your
wrists straight, pull back rmly with alternating
arms. Make sure you are leaning back from your
ankles, a full body lean, rather than rounding your
back or “sitting”. This exercise can be performed
with the high or neutral hand grip position. You
will feel additional emphasis in the upper back,
back shoulders, & the biceps during this
exercise. This is an advanced exercise that should be performed only after
prociency is attained on the rst four basic exercises. Note: Exercising
while leaning forward poses a risk of losing your balance & falling,
resulting in possible serious injury, & should be done with care.
GAZELLE®SPRINTER EXERCISES
7) POWER GLIDE
(Advanced Exercise)
Begin with a Wide Glide. Adjust your hands to
a neutral or high grip hand position. Gradually
increase the length of your stride as far as you
comfortably can. Your heels will naturally lift
slightly as each leg moves to the back. As you
glide, allow your shoulders & torso to rotate
slightly side to side, pressing & pulling rmly
with your arms. Maintain good, upright posture
throughout this exercise, & a “soft” knee
position. Avoid over rotating your torso which
could effect balance. This exercise can be
performed with the neutral or high hand grip positions. Glide only as wide as
you can while maintaining good balance & posture. This is an advanced
exercise that should be performed only after prociency is attained on
the rst four basic exercises.
8) POWER JOG
(Advanced Exercise)
Begin with a Basic Glide. When you feel
comfortable & balanced, slowly release your
hands & bring them into your sides in a “jog”
position. Allow your arms to pump naturally
as if you were jogging. Maintain good, upright
posture throughout this exercise, & a “soft”
knee position. Glide only as wide as you can
while maintaining good balance & posture. Be
careful not to get your head or shoulders in
the way of the swinging handlebars. Upright
posture will prevent this from happening.
This is an advanced exercise that should be performed only after
prociency is attained on the rst four basic exercises. Note: Exercising
while leaning forward poses a risk of losing your balance & falling,
resulting in possible serious injury, & should be done with care.

CARING FOR YOUR GAZELLE®SPRINTER
Your unit has been carefully designed to require minimum maintenance.
To ensure this, we recommend that you do the following:
•Keep your unit clean by wiping sweat, dust or other residue off with a
soft, clean cloth after each use.
•Wipe your handlebar grips down with a soft, damp cloth frequently to
prevent accumulation of sweat & dirt.
•If squeaks or other noises develop over time, we recommend the
following:
a) Lubricate all moving parts. For best results we recommend using
white lithium grease. You may also apply clear household grease
(i.e. petroleum jelly) to axle tube.
b) Spray cable holders (top & bottom) with WD-40® or equivalent.
c) Check to be sure that the screws on the bottom of the foot
platforms are tight.
STORING YOUR GAZELLE®SPRINTER
Your unit conveniently folds down for easy storage. To fold your unit:
a) IMPORTANT: Before folding, rst disconnect hydraulic cylinders for
storage position. Clip into the hydraulic cylinder clips.
b) Fold foot platforms & lock into place by snapping lower cable holders
onto swing arms.
c) Place foot on rear frame tube (to hold in place) & slide front frame
tube toward you by grabbing front swing arms.
d) Carefully lower the unit toward the ground until the wheels engage &
roll unit out of the way.
Store your equipment in an area away from children & high trafc areas.
RESISTANCE
Your Gazelle comes with added resistance. Once you have reached your
maximum benets with no resistance, you may progress to a more efcient
workout with resistance.
To engage resistance, simply lift the cylinders toward the top of the swing
arms & lock the hydraulic cylinders into place.
IMPORTANT: See “Assembly Instructions” booklet for hydraulic cylinder
set-up. When in use, the cylinders get very hot. Do not touch & please keep
children away.
TOTAL FITNESS PROGRAM
A Total Fitness Program is more than exercise & more than eating right. It is
a “tness for life” plan that goes hand in hand with an overall healthy lifestyle.
This includes regular check-ups & exercise, now & for the rest of your life.
Your total tness program consists of three parts:
•Aerobic exercise to burn calories.
•Strength conditioning exercises to tone & shape your muscles,
increase your metabolic rate, & strengthen your bones.
•A diet that is safe, sensible & healthy.
Today, all tness research recommends both aerobic exercise & strength
conditioning to achieve balanced tness. By improving your aerobic tness
you will strengthen your heart & lungs, increase your stamina & endurance
& help with weight loss. Strength conditioning adds lean muscle to your
body, increasing your body’s metabolism. In this process, your body burns
more calories, even while you rest. When you combine aerobic workouts
with strength conditioning, you can burn more fat & calories than with just
aerobic exercise alone.
The Gazelle® Sprinter workout will help with the rst two parts of your Total
Fitness Program, but you need to make healthy, low-fat eating a big priority
as well. If you need help making healthy eating a part of your life, then please
refer to the Nutrition Guide that is included.
Consult with your physician about an eating plan that’s right
for you. Healthy eating habits & exercise will help you reach your goal.
We recommend that you follow dietary guidelines approved by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture & the U.S. Department of Health &
Human Services.
