Making Adjustments

13
Exercise Positions
Because Transitt features dynamic and isometric exercise programs, the exerciser's body
position and physical set up on the machine will vary, depending on the program and the
exerciser's needs. Use the information that follows as a general guide or starting point for
set up and positioning.
NOTE: On-screen instructions specific to each program can be accessed by tapping on the
TRANSITT icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
Dynamic Exercise
Dynamic stepping exercises on the TRANSITT use the same physical set up. After
adjusting arm handles and seat distance, there should be a slight bend in the exerciser's
knees and elbows at nearly full extension when performing dynamic stepping exercises.
The arm handles and foot pedals are not locked, i.e., StrideLock is not engaged.
Isometric Exercise
All isometric programs require the StrideLock
feature to be engaged (arm handles and foot pedals
are locked and do not move during exercise). The
seat and handle positions for the isometric exercise
programs are specific to each program and will
depend on the goals of the exercise.
Injuries to health may
result from incorrect or
excessive use.
Ensure the seat and
arms are set up in
biomechanically correct
positions.
Do not over-extend your
leg or arm reach distance.
