HOW TO USE THE ABDOMINAL EXERCISER
HOW TO MOUNT AND DISMOUNT THE
ABDOMINAL EXERCISER
The pivot frame can swivel from side to side, and
the knee pad can move forward and backward; to
avoid losing your balance, use extreme caution
while mounting and dismounting the abdominal
exerciser.
Before mounting the abdominal exerciser, make sure
that the Pivot Frame (3) is in the position shown below.
Do not rotate the Pivot Frame so that the Console
(8) is near the floor as shown in the inset drawing.
Next, stand beside the abdominal exerciser and hold
the Handlebar (5) firmly with both hands. Place one
knee on the nee Pad (7), halfway between the front
of the nee Pad and the back of the nee Pad. Then,
place your other knee on the nee Pad. Always hold
the Handlebar while exercising; do not hold the
Pivot Frame or the Console (8).
To dismount, hold the Handlebar (5) and place one
foot at a time on the floor beside the nee Pad (7).
HOW TO LOC THE PIVOT FRAME

from side to side, insert the Pin (27) into the Pivot
Frame (3) and into the Upright (4).
HOW TO LOC THE NEE PAD

HOW TO USE THE ABDOMINAL EXERCISER
The abdominal exerciser can be used with the pivot
frame in the locked position or the unlocked position
(see HOW TO LOC THE PIVOT FRAME on page 9).
In addition, the abdominal exerciser can be used with
the knee pad in the locked position or in the unlocked
position (see HOW TO LOC THE NEE PAD on
page 9).
With the pivot frame unlocked and the knee pad
unlocked, the pivot frame can swivel from side to
side and the knee pad can move forward and back-
ward. To exercise, use your core muscles to swivel
the pivot frame from side to side and/or to move the
knee pad forward and backward.
With the pivot frame locked and the knee pad
unlocked, the pivot frame will not swivel from side to
side, but the knee pad will move forward and back-
ward. To exercise, use your core muscles to move the
knee pad forward and backward.
With the pivot frame unlocked and the knee pad
locked, the pivot frame can swivel from side to side,

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The console features five modes that provide instant
exercise feedback during your workouts:
Scan—Displays the
Time, Calorie, and
Reps/Min modes in
a repeating cycle
Time—Displays the
elapsed time
Count—Displays the
number of repetitions
completed during the
current workout
Calorie—Displays the approximate number of calories
you have burned
Reps/Min—Displays the number of repetitions com-
pleted per minute
HOW TO INSTALL A BATTERY
The console requires one AA battery (not included); an
alkaline battery is recommended. IMPORTANT: If the
console has been exposed to cold temperatures,
allow it to warm to room temperature before you
insert a battery. Otherwise, you may damage the
console display or other electronic components.
Locate the battery door on the back of the console.
Press the tab on the battery door, and remove the bat-
tery door. Next, insert a battery into the console;
orient the battery as shown by the diagram inside
the console. Then, reattach the battery door.
HOW TO USE THE CONSOLE
Note: Make sure that a battery is installed (see HOW
TO INSTALL A BATTERY at the left). If there is a
sheet of plastic on the display, remove the plastic.
1. Turn on the console.
Press the console button on the console or begin
exercising to turn on the console.
2. Select a mode for display.
Scan mode—To
select the scan
mode, press the
console button
repeatedly until an
arrow appears
next to the word

Time, Calorie, or Reps/Min mode—To select one
of these modes for continuous display, press the
console button repeatedly until an arrow appears
next to the desired selection. Make sure that
there is not an arrow next to the word SCAN.
3. Begin exercising and follow your progress with
the display.
As you exercise, the console will provide instant
feedback about your workout.
4. Reset the console, if desired.

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for
successful results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten-
sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-
est ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-
cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after
the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin
to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to
burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the lowest number in your training
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your
heart rate near the middle number in your training
zone.
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart
rate, exercise for at
least four minutes.
Then, stop exercising
and place two fingers on
your wrist as shown.
Take a six-second heart-
beat count, and multiply
the result by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if
your six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate
is 140 beats per minute.
WOR OUT GUIDELINES
Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min-
utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise–never hold your breath.
Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of
stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your
muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physi-
cian. This is especially important for persons
over age 35 or persons with pre-existing
health problems.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.

down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,
then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees,

hands against a wall. eep your back leg straight and your back
foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move
your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat
3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles
tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles
tendons, and ankles.
4. Quadriceps Stretch
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp
one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your
buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3
