CHAPTER 2: Setup
3
2.1 GETTING STARTED
Read the Owner’s Manual before setting up the Matrix Elliptical Trainer. Place the unit where it will be used before beginning the setup procedure.
2.2 CHOOSING A LOCATION
The site should be well-lit and well-ventilated. Place the E1x on a structurally solid and flat surface a few feet from the wall or any equipment. If the site has
a heavy plush carpet, to protect the carpeting and machinery, you should place a rigid plastic base under the unit.
Please do not place the Total Body Elliptical Trainer in an area of high humidity, such as the
vicinity of a steam room, indoor pool, or sauna. Exposure to intensive water vapour or chlorine could
adversely affect the electronics, as well as other parts of the machine. To make exercise a desirable
daily activity for you, the Total Body Elliptical Trainer should be in an attractive setting.
2.3 STABILIZING THE MATRIX ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
After placing the unit where it will be used, check its stability. If the Elliptical E1x is placed on a
slightly, uneven surface, adjusting the adjustable levelers located underneath the base frame can
help, but will not compensate for extremely uneven surfaces. To adjust, loosen the nut, and turn the
leveler until the rocking motion ceases, and both levelers rest firmly on the floor. Retighten the nut.
2.4 UNPACKING THE TOTAL BODY ELLIPTICAL TRAINER
The Elliptical Trainer is carefully inspected before shipment so it should arrive in good operating
condition. Matrix Fitness ships the unit in the following pieces:

the theoretical maximum.
Weight Loss is a low-intensity workout for
burning the body’s fat reserves. The user must wear a

Quick Start is the fastest way to begin exercising and
bypasses the setup prompts. After pressing the QUICK
START key, a constant-level workout begins.
Warm-up is a low-intensity phase that brings the
heart rate into the lower end of the target zone and
increases respiration and blood flow to working
muscles.
Cool-down is a low-intensity phase that allows the
body to begin removing lactic acid, and other exercise
by-products, which build up in muscles and contrib-
ute to soreness.
Manual is a constant intensity level unless it is
manually changed.
Hill Interval is an efficient workout by alternating work
intervals and recovery intervals.
Random Hill is an interval training workout that
occurs in no regular pattern or progression.
CONSTANT

RANDOM
Constant Watts is designed to maintain your watts
expenditure at a constant level by controlling pedal-
ing resistance and prompting you to pedal at a speci-
fied RPM. Watts level may vary above and below your
target watts level during this program.
Random is a workout of constantly changing intensity
levels that occur in no regular pattern or progression.

5.4 WORKOUT TIPS
Matrix Fitness strongly recommends seeing your physician for a complete physical examination before beginning any fitness program. Know your
physician-recommended heart rate target zone. If, at any time while exercising, you experiences faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of breathe, you must
stop immediately.
To mount the elliptical trainer, grasp the front stationary handlebars and place your feet on the pedals. When you are comfortably situated, begin pedaling.
To dismount the elliptical trainer, stop pedaling, grasp the front stationary handlebars and get off the unit.
It is highly recommended that you always incorporate the warm-up and cool-down period into your workout. Warm-up brings the heart rate into the lower
end of the target zone and increases respiration and blood flow to working muscles. Cool-down takes time for a user’s heart rate to return to a resting state
after vigorous exercise and reduces the amount of lactic acid in muscle tissue.
