ADJUSTING THE FOOTREST SUPPORTS
Turn the locking knob counterclockwise and pull
the locking knob out so that the adjusting tube
can be moved freely up and down. When the
height is right, let go of the knob. The tube locks
into place. Tighten the locking knob clockwise.
NOTE !
Always make sure that the locking knob is
fastened properly before starting to exercise. Adjust
the footrest support height so that the elliptic
movement does not strain your ankles.
ADJUSTING TRAINING RESISTANCE
To increase or decrease resistance, turn the
adjustment knob at the top of the handlebar
support tube clockwise (+direction) to increase
resistance and counterclockwise (-direction) to
decrease resistance. The scale above the knob (1-8)
helps you find and reset a suitable resistance.

Working out using an elliptical trainer is excellent
aerobic exercise, the principle being that the
exercise should be suitably light, but of long
duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving
the body ’s maximum oxygen uptake, which in
turn improves endurance and fitness. The ability
of the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly
dependent on its oxygen-uptake capacity. Aerobic
exercise should above all be pleasant. You should
perspire, but you should not get out of breath
during the workout. You must, for example, be able
to speak and not just pant while pedaling.
You should exercise at least three times a week,
30 minutes at a time, to reach a basic fitness
level. Maintaining this level requires a few exercise
sessions each week. Once the basic condition has
been reached, it is easily improved simply by
increasing the number of exercise sessions. Exercise
is always rewarding for weight loss, because it is
the only way of increasing the energy spent by
the body. This is why it is always worthwhile to
