EXERCISING ON THE CARDIO FIT
Sit on the seat, place your feet on the pedals and hold the handlebar. To add variety to your exercise, you can
hold the top, sides or bottom of the handlebar, place your hands close together or far apart, or hold the handlebar
with an overhand or underhand grip. '
To begin exercising, pull the handlebar towards your waist while pushing the pedals away with your legs. Return
to the starting position. This completes one repetition. Repeat, moving with a smooth, continuous motion. For the
best results, move through the full range of motion, maintain a steady pace, and keep your back straight.
LOWER BODY EXERCISE
To focus on the muscles of the lower body, rest your hands
on the Indicated bar as you exercise.
To focus on the calf muscles, point your toes as you push
the pedals away. As you return to the starting position, raise
your toes and rotate your heels downward. CAUTION: To
avoid Injury, keep you feet firmly on the pedals to
prevent them from slipping.
UPPER BODY EXERCISE
To focus on the muscles of the upper body, rest your feet on
the foot pegs rather than the pedals as you exercise.
ABDOMINAL EXERCISE

CARDIO FIT can be changed. There are 9 resistance levels:
level 1 is the easiest, and level 9 Is the most difficult. To
change the resistance, turn the resistance adjustment collar
on the Resistance Cylinder (9). The arrow on the Resistance
Cylinder will show which resistance level you have selected.
CAUTION: The Resistance Cylinder becomes very hot
during use. Allow the Resistance Cylinder to coot before
