HOW TO USE A PRESET WORKOUT A preset workout automatically changes the resistance of the pedals and prompts you to maintain a target stride length. 1. Press any button or begin striding to activate the console. See HOW TO ACTIVATE THE CONSOLE on page 15. 2. Select a preset workout. To select a preset workout, press the workout button with the desired name and profile. The following information will appear in the center display: • The name of the workout • A profile of the target stride lengths • The duration of the workout • The maximum stride length • The maximum speed (in steps per minute) 3. Press the WORKOUT START button or begin striding to start the workout. As you exercise, keep your stride length near the target stride length for the current segment, which is shown in the stride length meter in the center display. IMPORTANT: The target stride length settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actual stride length may be shorter or longer than the target stride length. Make sure to stride at a length that is comfortable for you. If the stride length for the current segment is too long or too short, you can manually override the setting by pressing the STRIDE LENGTH buttons. However, when the current segment ends, the stride length meter will automatically adjust to the target stride length for the next segment. If the resistance level for the current segment is too high or too low, you can manually override the setting by pressing the QUICKTOUCH RESISTANCE buttons. However, when the current segment ends, the pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance level for the next segment. The workout will continue in this way until the last segment of the profile flashes. To stop the workout at any time, stop striding. To resume the workout, simply resume striding or press the WORKOUT START BUTTON. Each preset workout is divided into 25, 30, 45, or 60 one-minute segments. One resistance level and one stride length is programmed for each segment. Note: The same resistance level and/or stride length may be programmed for consecutive segments. During the workout, the workout profile will show your progress (see the drawing above). The flashing column of the profile represents the current segment of the workout. The height of the flashing column indicates the stride length for the current segment. At the end of each segment of the workout, a series of tones will sound and the next segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a different resistance level is programmed for the next segment, the resistance level of the pedals will then change. 4. Follow your progress with the displays. See step 5 on page 15. 5. Measure your heart rate if desired. See step 6 on page 16. 6. Turn on the fan if desired. See step 7 on page 16. 7. When you are finished using the elliptical strider, the console will automatically enter an idle mode. See HOW TO TURN OFF THE CONSOLE on page 15. 17
