Introduction
Congratulations! You’ve made a very smart investment! Your Executive Trainer elliptical is a high-quality fitness tool that will
give you years and years of fitness benefits.
One of the great things about your new ElliptiMill is that it uniquely monitors your workout intensity in “treadmill terms”.
Meaning, if your speed readout displays 7 mph, you are exerting the same energy as running 7 mph.
Regardless of the application, unpleasant weather is not an obstacle. Cold, windy, wet days will never discourage you again,
nor will the heat and humidity of the summer months. If you’re the type of person that likes to do two things at once, now
you can watch your favorite program on TV or keep an eye on your kids and take care of your health at the same time.
Your ElliptiMill was a smart purchase, but you already knew that, so let’s move on and get started.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Be sure to familiarize yourself with this manual. Look it over carefully. Be sure you understand the control panel operation
before using the elliptical.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
Fill out your warranty registration card and mail it in today. Landice backs your elliptical with a strong warranty.
For the factory to respond to any problems you may have, we need your warranty information on file. Do it today.
Landice will send you a complimentary Landice T-shirt upon receipt of your warranty registration card.
SELECTING A LOCATION
Place the elliptical in a climate-controlled room.
Failure to do so may effect warranty.
Allow a minimum clearance of 6 inches on each side of the elliptical.
Allow a minimum clearance of 1 foot at the rear of the elliptical.
Failure to leave ample clearance around the elliptical could result in the user becoming trapped between the mechanism and
the wall should the user accidentally trip and fall while exercising.
Be sure the line cord has plenty of slack and does not get pinched underneath the elliptical. Make sure the elliptical is
plugged into a dedicated line.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Following are some things you should do before you start to exercise on your elliptical:

2
Features
The Executive Trainer elliptical combines a versatile liquid crystal display (LCD) with a variety of program options to
achieve your fitness goals.
SELECTABLE SCREENS
At any point during your workout, the Executive Trainer allows you to view one of its 5 motivational screens. Each of
these screens help you visualize your workout in a unique way while providing statistical information for up-to-the-
second updates.
USER CUSTOMIZATION
The Executive Trainer stores up to five individual clients. Users can store personal
information (gender, weight, target pulse, etc…) and elliptical limits (max speed and
effort) to ensure an efficient, safe, and effective workouts every time.
AUTOMATED WORKOUT CALENDAR
The Executive Trainer records all user activity over the last 30 days. Clients can
access their calendar and review previous workouts. For further analysis, they can
also view a personal 30-Day Progress Report.
UNIQUE PROGRAMMING
• 5 Built-in Programs and 5 User Programs (100% fully customizable)
• 4 Heart Rate Control Programs: 2 Built-In and 2 User
• 6 Fitness Tests/Protocols – Balke, Firefighter ARMY, NAVY, USMC, USAF
• Specific Goal Programs: designed around a workout’s goal (distance, time,
or calories)
• 5 Body Specific Programs
• Race Mode: Beat your best 1/2 Mile, 1 Mile, 2 Mile, 5K, or 10K time in a
head to head race against a virtual pacer.

Make sure you have read and understand this owner’s manual. Now you are ready to begin.
SET YOUR STRIDE
Prior to your workout, check to see what stride setting the elliptical is currently set at. The
current stride setting is the number (17, 19, 21, or 23) that is located directly behind the
positional arrowhead.
To change it, loosen the black knob and red T-handle (1/4 turn will do). While pulling the
black knob, slide the positional arrowhead up or down grabbing the red T-handle.
Be sure to retighten both knobs and T-handles prior to commencing your workout.
Start by standing on the rear step and stepping onto each foot pedal.
Press the button. The displays will power up and the effort level will default to Level 1.
The center display will show one of the three motivational
road screens.
You are now in Manual Mode, where you control the speed and
effort level at your discretion.
You can access all of your elliptical’s options by pressing
at any time.
After 12 seconds, a weight prompt will appear. Adjust the weight value using the designated “+/-” keys or numeric keypad.
Note: Weight prompt can be deactivated in Setup. Also, it’s bypassed if you log on as a Client.
ENTER YOUR AGE
Press and use the numeric keypad or the center “+/-” keys to dial in your age. Entering your age will
help you select the appropriate target heart rate based on your age in the Zone Timer Screen (see Manual Mode).
• The main color LCD screen displays different content relating to your workout that you can customize in a variety of ways.
The rest of the manual will detail all of the features that you can access using this screen.
• The side blue LCD screens constantly display your Effort Level (1-20) and Speed (RPM, MPH* or Km/hr*). Use the “+/-”
keys beneath these readouts to adjust the elliptical to your liking.
*Speed and distance are calculated using an advanced metabolic running equivalent algorithm. Your pedal speed and effort
level will yield a “running” speed with the equivalent energy consuming intensity.

Built-In Programs
Programs have been added to the Executive Trainer so you can add some variety to your workouts. You can choose from one
of 5 Built-in Programs, which will run you through a pre-selected effort. When choosing a program you select a maximum
effort and a time from 10 to 99 minutes. Once set, the elliptical will not go above the maximum number unless you
manually override it. Each program is divided into 20 segments of equal time, beginning with 3 warm-up segments and
ending with 2 cool-down segments. For example, a 40-minute program will contain 20 two-minute segments.
The following figures represent the 5 Built-in Programs in the Executive Trainer.
FAT BURN
The overall goal of this program is to elevate your heart rate, maintain the elevated heart rate for most of the workout, then
gradually bring your heart rate down via the last three cool down segments.
INTERMEDIATE
The overall goal of this program is to vary your heart rate by elevating and lowering it several times, providing you with a
challenging cardiovascular workout.
ADVANCED
The overall goal of this program is to raise your heart rate with high effort levels for an advanced cardiovascular workout.
INTERVALS
The overall goal of this program is to vary your workout load, taking you from peak level to recovery eight times throughout
your workout.
ENDURO
The overall goal of this program is to increase intensity toward a peak without recovery until the cooldown.

Specific Goal Programs
These specialty programs have been designed to monitor and achieve a specific goal you may have every time you get on
your Executive Trainer. Whether you want to go for a 3-mile run, burn 1,000 calories, or simply exercise for 15 minutes, the
goal progress will be updated automatically as you make it through your workout. During these programs you will retain
full manual control.
Using Specific Goal Programs:
Press MENU -> PROGRAMS -> SPECIALTY PROGRAMS->
SPECIFIC GOAL to view the Specific Goal Setup Screen. Use the top
designated “+/-” keys to select your workout’s goal: TIME, DISTANCE,
or CALORIES.
After selecting your goal, define its parameter using the bottom
designated “+/-” keys or the numeric keypad:
Time: 10-99 Minutes
Distance: 0.1-99.9 Miles
Calories: 10-9999 Calories
Press START to begin.
As soon as you begin, you’ll notice that goal progress will be displayed
in the different motivational screens. The goal statistic will be displayed
in a red font and updated instantaneously with any speed/effort
changes you make and count down to zero until you reach your goal.
Once the program is complete or you choose to prematurely terminate
it by selecting the designated “Exit Program” key, the elliptical will
automatically default back into Manual Mode.

Race Mode
Race mode is a unique feature exclusive to the Landice Executive Trainer. Race is a manually controlled distance based
program that monitors your progress versus a virtual pacer. The virtual pacer can be your previous/best-recorded time or
manually dialed in during set up. There are five different preset race distances: 1 / 2Mile, 1 Mile, 2 Mile, 5 K, and 10 K.
Race Mode comes equipped with Automatic Transmission software. As you pedal faster to increase your speed, the elliptical
will automatically increase the effort level yielding a faster “running” (MPH) speed. Vice versa, when you slow down, the
elliptical will automatically decrease effort level yielding a slower “running” (MPH) speed.
To run a Race:
Press MENU -> PROGRAMS -> SPECIALTY PROGRAMS-> RACE to enter the Race Setup screen.
Use the designated “+/-” keys to select your desired distance: 1 / 2Mile,
1 Mile, 2 Mile, 5K, 10.
After selecting your distance, use the designated “+/-” keys or the numeric keypad to dial in your pacer’s speed.
Notice that your personal best and previous times for this distance are posted at the top of the setup screen.
Press START to begin the race.
As soon as you begin, you will default to the Road Screen. During
Race, the Road Screen will display both you and the pacer (the pacer
is always the opposite gender).
The pacer will finish the race distance exactly at the time you selected
in setup. Since you are manual speed control throughout the race,
you control your own finish time.
Your runner will always remain in the center. If the pacer is to the
right of you, he/she is winning. If the pacer is to the left of you, you are winning.
The statistics at the bottom also display the up-to-the-second distance between both two runners.
The Track Screen also displays Race Mode.

Fitness Tests/ Protocols Overview
The Executive Trainer includes 2 fitness tests and 4 fitness protocols. Based on your specific age, gender, and performance
they calculate your fitness level. The Balke and the Firefighter Fitness Tests are heart rate controlled.
Balke Fitness Test (HRC: must use AccuTrack or Wireless Chest Strap)
• Test Parameters
• Maximum Speed: 55 RPM
• Maximum Heart Rate: 80% of Maximum Heart Rate (see Heart Rate Monitoring)
Description
• It’s a heart rate controlled, walking pace, variable effort fitness test. The test increases in difficulty in an
effort to raise your heart rate to a target. Upon reaching your target heart rate, the test will terminate and
calculate a fitness assessment based on your performance (VO2Max Score).
Firefighter (Gerkin) Fitness Test (HRC: must use AccuTrack or Wireless Chest Strap)
• Test Parameters
• Maximum Speed: 60 RPM
• Maximum Heart Rate: 85% of Maximum Heart Rate (see Heart Rate Monitoring)
Description
• It’s a heart rate controlled, variable speed and effort fitness test. The test increases in difficulty in an
effort to raise your heart rate to a target. Upon reaching your target heart rate, the test will terminate and
calculate a fitness level based on your performance (VO2 Max Score).
What is VO2Max?
A person’s fitness level can be measured by the amount of oxygen his or her body can consume while exercising at maximum
capacity. VO2Max is a measurement of the maximum amount of oxygen in milliliters an individual can use in one minute
per kilogram of body weight. For years, only fitness trainers and doctors had access to this intricate fitness calculation.
Fortunately, the Executive Trainer not only takes care of all the complex VO2Max calculations, but also gives you a simple
evaluation anyone can understand.
Scores may vary due to different line voltages, component tolerances, and individual’s affinity towards each test’s parameters.
For a more accurate VO2Max calculation, take the average of the two scores (Balke and Firefighter Fitness Test).
• Fitness Protocols:
NAVY 11 / 2-Mile Test, Army 2-Mile Test, Air Force 2-Mile Test, Marine Corps. 3-Mile Test
Description
• These are hands free, complete as fast as you fitness assessment runs. Fitness Protocols come equipped
with Automatic Transmission software. As you pedal faster to increase your speed, the elliptical will
automatically increase the effort level yielding a faster “running” (MPH) speed. Vice versa, when you
slow down, the elliptical will automatically decrease effort level yielding a slower “running (MPH) speed.
Upon completion you will receive an assessment score (0-100) or superlative.

Taking a Fitness Test
To take a Fitness Test:
From the Menu Screen, select PROGRAMS -> SPECIALTY PROGRAMS.In
the Specialty Programs screen, you can select one of the 2 fitness tests that
the Executive Trainer has to offer. Remember, both of these tests are heart
rate controlled.
Upon selecting the fitness test of your choice, you will be prompted to the
fitness test Setup Screen. Use the designated “+/-” keys or the numeric keypad
to adjust your age and gender. Press CONTINUE.
***Note: Before pressing start, you will be prompted with the heart rate that
the fitness test will target. This heart rate calculation is derived from statistical
heart rate capacity averages (see Heart Rate Monitoring). If you are
uncomfortable with the target heart rate displayed or feel discomfort at any
point during the fitness test, stop the test***
Press START to begin the test.
You must hold onto the contact grips or wear your heart rate transmitter strap during the entire test. If the elliptical loses a heart rate
signal for more than 30 seconds, the test will be invalidated and terminated.
The HRC fitness tests are fully automated and will increase in difficulty from segment to segment until the user achieves the target
heart rate (Balke - 80% of Max HR; Firefighter – 85% of Max HR). Once you reach the target pulse, a countdown will begin to ensure
that your pulse has indeed stabilized at the target. Any keystrokes during the test other than BACK,MENU,orNEXT will invalidate
and terminate the test.
Balke Fitness Test:
Upon completion, you will receive a VO2Max score and fitness assessment based on
your performance versus your demographics.
Firefighter Fitness Test:
Upon completion, you will receive a
VO2 Max score and fitness assessment
based on your performance versus
general population.
