Getting on / off your elliptical
IMPORTANT
The elliptical comes with two Dual Action Handles and a Stationary Handlebar.
Always hold the Stationary Handlebar when getting on and off the elliptical.
First time users should familiarize themselves with using the elliptical by using the Stationary
Handlebar first and then progressing to the Dual Action Handles.
Once you have familiarized yourself with using the elliptical, you can progress to using the Dual
Action Handles to provide a total body workout. Hands can be positioned on the Dual Action Handles
at the most appropriate position for your height and arm length.
Caution should always be taken when getting on and off any exercise machine.
Please follow the safety steps below.
Ensure the left Foot Pedal is in the lowest position and grasp the Stationary
Handlebar with both hands.
Place your left foot on the left Foot Pedal and get secure.
Lift your right foot over machine and place on right Foot Pedal. Get balanced
and begin your workout.
Important
To get off, come to a complete stop and reverse the procedure.
Always wear rubber-soled shoes, such as tennis shoes.
It is recommended that you keep at least one hand on the Stationary Handlebar at all
times, especially when getting on or off. If you are performing a walking action with your
arms, or doing upper body strength training exercises, ensure you are well balanced.
All equipment should be set-up and operated on solid, level surfaces.

Correct Position
Your body should be in an upright position so that your back is straight.
Keep your head up to minimize neck and upper back strain.
Always try and use the elliptical in a rhythmical and smooth motion. If
you find yourself feeling uncomfortable, or experience a surging type
feeling, there is probably too much tension.
The elliptical can be used in forward or reverse
notion.
When going in reverse, bend your knees slightly more. More emphasis is
on the buttocks and hamstrings in the reverse motion.
MOVING YOUR ELLIPTICAL
The elliptical can be easily moved from room to room.
1. Move to the front of the machine and ensure swing arms are even
(one foot pedal at top of Elliptical Disk and other at bottom).
2. Grasp both Dual Action Handles together and pulling back on
handles, tip machine towards you..
