HOW TO USE THE AIR WALKER XT
The unique AIR WALKER XT can be used in either
the dependent mode or the independent mode. In
the dependent mode, as one pedal moves forward,
the other pedal moves backward an equal distance. In
the independent mode, the pedals move indepen-
dently of each other, allowing for a freer movement.
HOW TO USE THE DEPENDENT MODE
Make sure that the lock knob is tightened into the left
leg and link plate. Adjust the resistance to a high
setting (see RESISTANCE ADJUSTMENT at the
right). Hold the handles and step onto the pedals. The
proper form for exercising on the AIR WALKER XT is
similar to the motion of walkingÑmove one leg
forward as you move the other leg back.
For a full body workout, hold the handles as you walk,
and move your arms and legs in motion with the
handles and pedals. To vary the effect of the exercise,
change your stance on the AIR WALKER XT by
bending your legs slightly instead of keeping them
straight.
For a lower body workout, rest your hands on the
frame for balance as you move the pedals.
HOW TO USE THE INDEPENDENT MODE
Remove the lock knob and washers from the left leg.
Keep the lock knob and washers in a secure place.
Adjust the resistance to a high setting, hold the
frame, and step onto the pedals. Exercise as
described above. CAUTION: When using the inde-
pendent mode, hold the frame beside the hip pad
and be careful to control your movement and
maintain your balance at all times.
RESISTANCE ADJUSTMENT
To vary the intensity of your workout, the resistance of
the AIR WALKER XT can be adjusted. CAUTION: Do
not adjust the resistance while you are standing
on the AIR WALKER XT. Always dismount the AIR
WALKER XT before adjusting the resistance. To
adjust the resistance, turn the resistance dials on the
resistance cylinders. There are twelve different resis-
tance levels. Arrows on the resistance cylinders will
show which resistance level is selected. Select the
same resistance level on both cylinders.
CAUTION: The resistance cylinders become very
hot during use. Allow the resistance cylinders to
cool before touching them. When adjusting the
resistance, touch only the resistance dials.
ELECTRONIC MONITOR MODES
The electronic monitor offers five modes to provide
instant exercise feedback:
TimeÑDisplays the length of time you have exercised.
Note: If the display reaches 99 minutes and 59
seconds, it will reset to zero and continue counting.
Reps/MinÑDisplays the number of repetitions you
are completing per minute.
RepsÑDisplays the total number of repetitions you
have completed. Note: If the display reaches 8,190, it
will reset to zero and continue counting.
CaloriesÑDisplays the approximate number of
Calories you have burned. Note: If the resistance is
near the highest or lowest setting, the actual number
of Calories you have burned will be slightly higher or
lower than the number displayed.
ScanÑDisplays the other four modes, for five
seconds each, in a repeating cycle.

CAUTION: When mounting or dismounting
the AIR WALKER XT, hold the frame beside
the hip pad and center your weight over the
pedals.
CAUTION: When using the AIR WALKER XT,
always hold the handles or place your hands
on the frame beside the hip pad.
CAUTION: When using the independent
mode, hold the frame beside the hip pad and
be careful to control your movement and
maintain your balance at all times.

Inspect and tighten all parts of the AIR WALKER XT
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
The AIR WALKER XT can be cleaned with a soft,
damp cloth. Keep liquids away from the electronic
monitor. Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight or the
display may be damaged. Remove the battery when
storing the AIR WALKER XT.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If the display of the electronic monitor becomes dim,
or if the monitor does not function properly, the battery
should be replaced. To replace the battery, refer to
assembly step 3 on page 4.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the electronic
monitor does not
display correct
information, the
reed switch
should be
adjusted. The
reed switch is
located below the
electronic monitor
(see the drawing
at the right).
Loosen the
indicated screw,
slide the reed switch to the side slightly, and retighten
the screw. Make sure that the reed switch does not
hit the indicated magnet when the AIR WALKER
XT is in use. Repeat until the modes display correct
information.
HOW TO FOLD THE AIR WALKER XT FOR
STORAGE
When the AIR WALKER XT is not in use, it can be
folded to the storage position. To fold the AIR
WALKER XT, first remove the lock knob and washers
from the left leg. Keep the lock knob and washers in a
secure place. Next, fold the uprights against the
frame. Place the AIR WALKER XT in a location
where it cannot fall.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and
adequate rest are essential for successful results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat
burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to
the nearest ten years). Next, look above your age and
find the three numbers in light grey boxes. The three
numbers are your Òtraining zone.Ó The lowest number
is the recommended heart rate for fat burning; the
middle number is the recommended heart rate for
maximum fat burning; the highest number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-
gy. 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 your pace until your
heart rate is near the lowest number in your training
zone as you exercise. It may also be helpful to set the
dials on the resistance cylinders at level 1, 2, 3, or 4.
For maximum fat burning, adjust your pace until your
heart rate is near the middle number in your training
zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular
system, your exercise must be Òaerobic.Ó Aerobic
exercise is activity that requires large amounts of
oxygen for prolonged periods of time. This increases
the demand on the heart to pump blood to the
muscles, and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood.
For aerobic exercise, adjust your pace until your heart
rate is near the highest number in your training zone.
It may also be helpful to set the dials on the resistance
cylinders at level 5, 6, 7, or 8.
Strength Training
To strengthen and tone your muscles, you must exer-
cise your muscles at a moderate to high percentage of
their capacity. Set the dials on the resistance cylinders
at level 9, 10, 11, or 12.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart rate, stop exercising and place
two fingers on your wrist as shown. Take a six-second
heartbeat
count, and
multiply the
result by 10 to
find your heart
rate. For
example, if
your six-
second heart-
beat count is
14, your heart
rate is 140
beats per minute. (A six-second count is used because
your heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop
exercising.)
Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart
rate is at the desired level. You can adjust the intensity
of your exercise by adjusting the resistance or by
changing your pace.
WARNING: Before beginning this or any exer-
cise program, consult your physician. This is
especially important for persons over the age
of 35 or persons with pre-existing health
problems.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, lasting 5 to 10 minutes. Begin with slow,
controlled stretches, and progress to more rhythmic
stretches to increase the body temperature, heart rate,
and circulation in preparation for strenuous exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone.
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
Thorough stretching helps to offset problems caused
when you stop exercising suddenly. Stretching for
increased flexibility is also most effective after exercis-
ing. A proper cool-down should leave you relaxed and
comfortably tired.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan 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 make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
