HOW TO USE THE AIR STRIDER

EXERCISING ON THE AIR STRIDER

Make sure that the lock knob is tightened into the
right leg and pivot bracket (see assembly step 10 on
page 8). Tighten the resistance dials, hold the han-
dles, and step onto the pedals. The proper form for
exercising on the AIR STRIDER is similar to the
motion of walkingÑmove one leg forward as you
move the other leg back.

For a full body workout, hold the handles as you walk,
and move your arms and legs in motion with the han-
dles and pedals. To vary the effect of the exercise on
your muscles, change your stance on the AIR
STRIDER. For example, stand erect or lean against
the hip pad, change the position of your hands on the
handles, or bend your legs slightly instead of keeping
them straight.

For a lower body workout, rest your hands on the
frame for balance as you move the pedals.

RESISTANCE ADJUSTMENT

To vary the intensity of your workout, the resistance of
the AIR STRIDER can be changed. To increase the
resistance, turn the resistance dials clockwise. To
decrease the resistance, turn the resistance dials
counterclockwise.

ELECTRONIC MONITOR MODES

The simple-to-operate electronic monitor offers
five different modes to provide instant exercise
feedback. The five modes are described below:

SpeedÑDisplays the number of repetitions you are
performing per minute.

TimeÑDisplays the length of time you have exer-
cised. Note: If you stop exercising for ten seconds or
longer, the time mode will pause until you resume.

DistanceÑDisplays the total number of repetitions
you have completed, up to Т999.У The display will then
reset to Т0У and continue counting.

CaloriesÑDisplays the approximate number of
Calories you have burned. Note: If the resistance is
near the highest or lowest setting, the actual number
of Calories you have burned will be slightly higher or
lower than the number displayed.

ScanÑDisplays the speed, time, distance, and calo-
ries modes, for approximately 5 seconds each,
in a repeating cycle.
