CONSOLE FUNCTIONS

Using your Trojan Pulse 260 Elliptical Trainer provides you with several benets, it will improve your physical
tness, tone muscle and in conjunction with a 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.
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 i.e. 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 3 times a week,
and if possible space your workouts evenly throughout the week.

EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS
MUSCLE TONING
To tone muscle while on your The Trojan Pulse 260 Elliptical Trainer you will need to have the resistance
set quite high. This will put more strain on your body 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 harder 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.
