BMI (Body Mass Index):

BMI is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women.

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate):

Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) shows the number of calories your body needs to operate. This doesn't account for any activity, it's simply the energy needed to sustain a heartbeat, breathing and normal body temperature. It measures the body at rest, not sleep, at room temperature.

Monitoring Your Heart Rate

Hand Pulse Sensors

This cross trainer is fitted with 2 hand pulse sensors. To obtain a pulse reading you must have both your left and right hands on the sensors at the same time. Do not grip the hand sensors too tight and allow the computer a few seconds to display the reading.

Adjusting The Resistance

This cross trainer features a speed independent braking (resistance) system. The resistance is controlled by a magnet, which is moved closer or further away from the flywheel - the closer the magnet is to the flywheel the higher the resistance. The magnet is computer controlled, to adjust simply use the UP / DOWN keys on the console.

Levelling Your Cross Trainer

To help you level the cross trainer on uneven surface, 2 height adjusters are included on the rear stabilizers. Simply twist these around to adjust the height of the cross trainer.

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR CROSS TRAINER, BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE PLEASE CHECK THAT ALL THE CABLES HAVE BEEN CONNECTED CORRECTLY. LOOSE CABLES ARE VERY COMMON AND MANY PROBLEMS CAN BE SOLVED BY MAKING SURE THE CABLES ARE PROPERLY CONNECTED.

The following table details the most common problems and how to fix them. If you still have a problem after going through the troubleshooting guide please call your local YORK distributor for advice.

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT OPEN PROTECTIVE CASING. IF ERROR PERSIST, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL YORK DISTRIBUTOR FOR ADVICE. KEEP THE EQUIPMENT OUT OF USE UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED.

If you are having problems with your heart rate reading, please note that some fibres used in clothes eg) polyester, create static electricity that may prevent a reliable heart rate reading. Mobile phones, TV's, microwaves and other electrical appliances that generate an electromagnetic field may also interfere with heart rate measurement.

Starting Your Workout

Begin and end each workout with a Warm Up / Down session - a few minutes of stretching to help prevent strains, pulls and cramps.

• Make sure the nearest footplate to you is in the lowest position.
• Grasp the handlebars securely with both hands.
• Step on - put your feet into he pedals one by one.
• Your body should be centred over the pedals.
• Begin to stride, follow the rhythm of the machine.

Finishing Your Workout

1. Slow your elliptical motion to a gradual stop.
2. Take your feet off the footplates one at a time.

End each workout with a Warm Down session - a few minutes of stretching to help prevent strains, pulls and cramps.

Correct Exercise Form

• Stand tall and straight. Don't slump - it will put unnecessary strain on your back and will result in less effective toning in the leg muscles. Make sure the machine is adjusted properly for your height so that you don't have to slouch to reach the handlebars. Similarly, you should not be leaning on the handles or gripping them too tightly.
• Stay relaxed. Keep your shoulders, arms, legs and hips loose and unlocked while using a cross trainer. Tension could lead to injury and will almost certainly make you sore.

All Over Body Workout!

• For an all over body workout, keep your hands on the moving arms.
• To only work the lower body place the hands on the fixed handlebars.
• To put the emphasis on the upper body push with your arms on the moving arms and reduce the amount of effort you are using with your legs.
• To work different muscles in your legs, try going in reverse.

How Long Should I Exercise For?

That really depends on your current level of fitness. If you're just starting out on a new exercise program, you should start gradually and build up - do not try to do too much too quickly. 30 minutes, 3 times a week should be enough.

Don't push yourself too hard - you should never feel exhausted during or following exercise.

Heart Rate Training

To get the most out of your new piece of fitness equipment and see the best results from your training you should exercise at the right level of effort, and that means listening to your heart! Work out to a target heart rate means you can direct your workout to achieve different goals:

Good health - For those wishing to improve quality of life and general well being. Your sessions will need to be done at an intensity of between 50 - 60% of your estimated maximum heart rate, should last about 30 minutes and can be done on most days of the week.

Weight loss - To see a significant reduction in body fat, your sessions must be a little more intense - between 60 and 70% of your estimated maximum heart rate. These sessions can also be performed on most days of the week for up to 30 minutes.

Improving fitness levels - These sessions should be performed at 70 - 80% of your estimated maximum heart rate and can also involve bouts of interval training that would have your heart rate peaking for short times near your maximum heart rate level. These are intense sessions and will require at least a 48 hour rest between sessions.

Calculating Your Target Heart Rate

First, you need to find your estimated maximum heart rate using the formula “220 minus your age in years”. So, if you are 35 years old your estimated maximum heart rate is:

• 220 - 35 = 185 beats per minute (bpm)

Next, to calculate your target heart rate, simply multiply your estimated maximum heart rate (185bpm) by the applicable percentage. So, if your goal is better health:

- 185 x 60% = 111bpm

NOTE: The important issue to remember with all estimated calculations is that they are just estimates - if you don't feel comfortable exercising at your target then reduce it to a level you are comfortable with.

Heart rate training requires you to monitor your heart rate throughout the workout. For this we recommend using a chest strap (if your machine has a wireless receiver) or a heart rate monitor. For more information please get in touch using the Contact Us details.

ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE UNDERTAKING A NEW EXERCISE REGIME. IF YOU EXPERIENCE NAUSEA, DIZZINESS OR OTHER ABNORMAL SYMPTOMS DURING EXERCISE, STOP AT ONCE AND CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

Suggested Stretches

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch never bounce.

1. Hamstring Stretch

Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and groin.

2. Calf/Achilles Stretch

With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.

3. Quadriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

4. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
