Guidelines for Healthy Adults

The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and

the American Heart Association (AHA) are continuously

updating guidelines and recommendations for physical

activity.

The current basic recommendations from ACSM and

AHA is:

Do moderately intense cardio 30 minutes a day, ve

days a week.

Do vigorously intense cardio 20 minutes a day, three

days a week.

AND

Do eight to ten strength-training exercises, eight to

twelve repetitions of each exercise twice a week.

Moderate-intensity physical activity means working

hard enough to raise your heart rate and break a

sweat, yet still being able to carry on a conversation.

It should be noted that to lose weight or maintain

weight loss, 60 to 90 minutes of physical activity may

be necessary. The 30 minute recommendation is for

the average healthy adult to maintain health and

reduce the risk for chronic disease.

To review the latest guidelines and recommendations,

visit the American College of Sports Medicine website:

www.acsm.org

your own physical condition.

WARNING

Stop exercising immediately if you feel nausea,

dizziness, sharp pain, or any other physical

discomfort. Failure to stop exercising can result in

injury or death to yourself.

WARNING

Placement Of Cardiovascular Machine

Position the unit in a location that has a stable and

level sub-oor. Equipment should be positioned in

a location that is not in direct sunlight, in areas of

extreme temperature and humidity, or where the

equipment may be splashed with water or uids. This

machine is intended for indoor use only.

Equipment should be positioned with a safety

perimeter of 40” or 1 Meter around the unit.

Level Cardiovascular Machine

If the sub-oor is unlevel, the unit is equipped with

leveling end caps. The end caps are designed with

the recess of end cap off centered. This allows you to

rotate the endcap(s) to a position that will level the

equipment. After adjustment, check and make sure

end caps are fully seated against base frame tubes.

WARNING

Failure to place the equipment on a stable and level

sub-oor with a safety perimeter can result in injury

to yourself and others.

Offset Endcap

Proper Supervision

Close supervision is required when the exercise

machine is being used by or near individuals with

disabilities. Keep unsupervised children outside the

safety perimeter.

Cleaning

Never clean the machine with organic solvents,

alcohol or bleach based cleaners. To promote a

healthy environment, wipe any sweat off of unit with

a commercially manufactured wipe designed for the

BIOMECHANICAL POSITIONING

Body Positioning

Comfort is a key issue to obtain the most benecial exercise. The feet should be centered above the pivot points

of the foot bed. This will reduce foot stress, ankle strain and promote better circulation.

SCIFIT’s patented Bio-Flex is designed to accommodate the user’s natural gait and allow the user to target

specic muscle groups. For example, keeping your heels down longer throughout the stride pattern encourages

greater muscle recruitment of the gluts and hamstrings. The Bio-Flex foot bed also recruits the stabilizing

muscles in the legs and torso. Use extreme caution when attempting to use the SCIFIT Elliptical without holding

onto either the moving or stationary handles.

SCIFIT SXT7000 and SXT7000e2 Ellipticals can be used in forward and reverse. To change directions, bring the

movement to a slow stop and begin the opposite movement. Changing direction of movement during exercise

recruits the largest group of muscles and helps bring balance to the muscle groups. Consult your tness or

medical professional for specic targeting of muscle groups or for the rehabilitation of specic conditions.

An upright body posture will result in a broader muscle recruitment and greater torso rotation.

Hand Position

Placing the hands on the upper most part of the handle grip provides greater upper body arm movement and

torso rotation, while placing the hands on the lower part of the handle grip will minimize arm movement and

torso rotation.

Place hand high

for greater upper

body movement Place hand low

for minimal upper

body movement

Important Note: When using this product for medical

or rehabilitation purpose, the program selection and

work load should be set by the attending therapist or

medical professional based on the specic needs of

the user.

CAUTION

Always follow medical professionals guidelines to

reduce the risk of personal injury. Failure to follow

their directions may result in injury to yourself.

HEART RATE TRANSMITTER STRAP

Uses of the Heart Rate Transmitter Strap

The optional wireless heart rate transmitter accessory

is a useful device if you desire continuous feedback on

your current heart rate during a workout. In addition,

the SXT7000 & SXT7000e2 include a heart rate control

program which requires use of the strap.

The heart rate control program enables the user to

setup a target heart rate. Through real-time monitoring

of the user’s heart rate, the computer maintains the

user’s heart rate at or below this established target

rate by decreasing the workload if the user’s heart

rate exceeds the target.

Activating & Deactivating Transmitter

Heart rate transmitter straps come in a variety of styles

and manufacturers. To properly activate, secure strap

to the chest and to deactivate follow the instructions

that come with the Transmitter Strap.

Use of the Heart Rate Contact Grips

For those models with contact heart rate grips, simply

grip the contact pads lightly. After a short delay the

pulse reading will appear on the display. If a heart rate

transmitter strap is worn, it will override the contact

pickup.

The contact grips are not designed for use with

SCIFIT’s Heart rate control program. This program

requires a steady, continuous telemetry signal which

can not be provided using contract heart rate grips.

While the contact grips provide a good barometer

for monitoring the users heart rate, they are not

recommended for medical where accuracy of

monitoring is vital.

CAUTION

Always follow manufacturers instructions for proper

care and use. Failure to follow manufacturers

instructions may result in injury to yourself.

WARNING

Heart Rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate.

If you feel faint, stop exercising immediately. Over

exercising may result in serious injury or death.

Calculating Target Heart Rate Zone

Your approximate Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) is equal

to 220 minus your age. The upper limit of your target

zone is equal to 0.85 times your MHR. The lower limit

of your target zone is equal to 0.60 times your MHR.

For Example:

Your age is 40:

220 - 40 = 180

180 x .85 = 153 (max MHR)

180 x .60 = 108 (min MHR)

These values are based upon averages, always consult

your physician to establish the proper Heart Rate Zone

for your individual health condition.

PROGRAM INSTRUCTIONS

Programs

SCIFIT products have 200 levels of computer controlled

resistance, which ensures that users of all tness levels

will be able to get a challenging but not overwhelming

workout. Because the resistance is adjustable in .1

increments, it is easy for the user to track progress.

SCIFIT products feature one of the highest resistance

capabilities available on any cardio equipment.

SCIFIT products are self generated and have

an extremely low starting resistance. One pedal

movement or crank revolution activates the console

and the screen will remain lit at the most minimal

levels of movement.

SCIFIT products have a battery back up which will

keep the screen lit for a short period after exercise or

if the user stops. This varies between 0 seconds and 3

minutes and can change with the amount of use each

product gets.

If you prefer the console to remain lit before and

after use, an optional AC adapter can be plugged in

to accomplish this. This is common in medical settings

and with Fit-Key Programs.

Manual Workout

Allows the user to set the intensity at any level.

This level will not change unless the user manually

increases or decreases the intensity using the [UP] or

[DOWN] arrow keys.
