ExERCISE INSTRUCTIONS
Using your Elliptical provides you with several benets, it will improve your physical tness, tone
muscle and in conjunction with calorie controlled diet help you lose weight.
THE WARM UP PHASE
This stage helps get the blood owing around the body and the muscles working properly. It will also reduce
the risk of cramp and muscle injury. It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises as shown below. Each
stretch should be held for approximately 30 seconds, do not force or jerk your muscles into a stretch.
If it hurts, STOP.
THE EXERCISE PHASE
Start Position
Stand on the left side of the bike, grasp the handlebars (under the handlebar end caps
about 100 mm), then stride your left leg, place your left foot on the left pedal, then
stride your right leg, place your right foot on the right pedal, adjust your hands and
stand pose to a comfortable position.
Moving Position
Grasp the handlebars, then switch the handlebars to and fro in tandem to move along
with the pedals, do elliptical cycle movement. Your elliptical has reversable movement.
Forward pedalling emphasizes your quadriceps muscle (front thighs), while backwards
pedaling emphasizes your hamstrings (back thighs). Remember, if you want to change
your movement direction, stop movement rst.

ExERCISE INSTRUCTIONS
This is the stage where you put the effort in. After regular use, the muscles in your legs will become
stronger. Work at your own pace, but it is very important to maintain a steady tempo throughout.
The rate of work should be sufcient to raise your heart beat into the target zone shown on the
graph below.
This stage is to let your Cardiovascular System and muscles wind down. This is a repeat of the warm up
exercise e.g. reduce your tempo, continue for approximately 5 minutes. The stretching exercises should now
be repeated, again remembering not to force or jerk your muscles into the stretch.
As you get tter you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least three times a week,
and if possible space your workouts evenly throughout the week.
MUSCLE TONING
To tone muscle while on your Elliptical you will need to have the resistance set quite high. This will
put more strain on our leg muscles and may mean you cannot train for as long as you would like. If you are
also trying to improve your tness, you need to alter your training program. You should train as normal
during the warm up and cool down phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase you should increase
resistance, making your legs work harden than normal. You may have to reduce your speed to keep your
heart rate in the target zone.
WEIGHT LOSS
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work the more
calories you will burn.
