English SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.- Consult your doctor before starting any exercise program. It is advisable to undergo a complete physical examination. Work at the recommended exercise level, do not overexert yourself. If you feel any pain or discomfort, stop exercising immediately and consult your doctor. Use the appliance on a solid, fl at surface, with some type of protection for the floor or carpet. In the interest of safety, the equipment must have at least 0.5 metres of free space around it. Do not allow children to play with the equipment or in the immediate vicinity. Keep your hands well away from any of the moving parts. Check the elliptical trainer before starting the exercise; to make sure that all of the parts are attached and that the nuts, bolts, pedals and focus bars have been tightened correctly prior to use. Any adjustment device that could interfere with the user’s movement should not be left projecting. People should be careful with the joint place between pedal tubes and swing bar tubes. If fingers get stuck, injuries could be caused. Wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the exercise. Do not use loose clothing. Do not wear leather soled shoes or footwear with high heels. This appliance has been tested and it complies with standard EN957, suitable for domestic use only. Braking is independent of speed.

IMPORTANT.- Read the instructions carefully before proceeding to assemble the equipment. Remove all the parts from the cardboard packaging and check them against the parts list to ensure that there is nothing missing. Do not throw the cardboard away until the elliptical trainer is fully assembled. Always use the appliance in accordance with the instructions. If you discover any defective component while assembling or checking the equipment, or if you hear any strange noise during exercise then stop. Do not use the appliance until the problem has been resolved. EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS.- Use of the ELLIPTICAL TRAINER offers various benefits; it will improve fitness, muscle tone and when used in conjunction with a calorie controlled diet it will help you to lose weight. 1,Warm-up phase This phase speeds up the body’s blood circulation and gets the muscles ready for exercise. It also reduces the risk of cramp and sprains. It is advisable to do some stretching exercises, as shown below. Each stretch should last approximately 30 seconds, do not overexert the muscles. If you feel pain, STOP.16

This phase requires the greatest physical exertion. After regular exercise the leg muscles will become more flexible. It is important to keep the rhythm constant. The rhythm of the exercise should be fast enough to bring the heart rate into the target area, as shown on the following graph:

This phase should last at least 12 minutes, although it is advisable for most people to start off with sessions of 10-15 minutes.

This phase allows the cardiovascular and muscle system to relax. It consists of repeating the warm-up exercises, i.e. reducing the rhythm and continuing for approximately 5 minutes. Repeat the stretching exercises but remember not to overexert the muscles. Eventually your training sessions will have to become longer and more intensive. It is advisable to exercise at least three days per week, on alternate days. Muscle toning You should select a high exertion level in order to tone muscles during exercise. This entails greater stress on the leg muscles, so it may be wise to reduce exercise times. If you also wish to improve your overall fi tness then you should change your training program. Do the warm-up and cooldown exercises as normal but when you are reaching the end of the exercise phase, increase the exertion level in order to make your legs work harder. You should reduce speed in order to keep your heart rate within the target area. Weight loss In this case the important factor is the effort made. The more intense and the longer the session, the greater the number of calories burned. Even though you are dong the same work as you do to improve fitness, the objective has changed.
