Using the product
Hold on to the side supports when getting on the product.
Step onto the lowest pedal and then place a foot on each pedal.
Set the exercise on the display with one hand and with the other hold on to the fixed handgrip.
To perform the movement with your legs only, hold the fixed handgrip; to include the arms in the workout, hold the levers.
Start by pushing the pedals downwards and then gradually lengthen your stride until you find a comfortable and natural movement.
With Vario, the movement can be adapted to the user’s height and preferences: vertical step, brisk walk or steady run.
Pace length can go from 0 to 83 cm, providing total freedom of movement.

10
VARIO EXCITE LIVE
Begin at a slow speed for a few minutes to become familiar with the product and find your stability. It is important to get used to the movement without
shifting the body forward in an unnatural posture.
You can gradually increase the level of diiculty once you grow more comfortable.
Be aware of your body position at all times: head held high, shoulders in line with hips, abdomen tight and length in your torso; to maintain the proper position,
legs and feet must be parallel and gaze forward.
You can adjust the intensity of the exercise using the buttons on the display or the Fast Track controls on the levers.
WARNINGS
Distractions from the surrounding environment could make you lose your stability and balance.
Do not step on and o the product when pedals are moving.
Vario must only be used for the purpose for which it was designed and made: aerobic exercise of upper and lower limbs. Any other use is to be considered
inappropriate and therefore dangerous.

11
VARIO EXCITE LIVE
Do not step on the pedal levers.
Keep feet inside the pedals.
Do not climb with both feet on one pedal.

Using the heart rate monitor
The product can monitor the heart rate in two dierent ways:
- using the device (hand sensor) built into the fixed handgrip and levers; it is
activated when the fixed handgrip or levers are held over the sensors (H);
- using a device equipped with heart rate transmitter.
Should you have any doubts about the accuracy of the readings, contact the
Technical Support Service.
WARNINGS
During a workout it is very important that your heart rate never goes
above 90% of your maximum rate (unless you are an athlete engaged in
competitive sport).
The sole function of the heart rate monitor is to display the heart rate
during exercise and cannot be used for medical cardiac diagnoses of any
kind. The heart rate shown on the display is purely indicative and cannot
be considered absolutely certain.
Do not use the heart rate monitor if you have a cardiac support device
such as a pacemaker or similar.
Diminish the intensity of your exercise if a message reporting that the heart rate
is too high appears.
