Plug the AC adapter into the lower front of the machine.

To start using your Schwinn® elliptical trainer, stand on the foot pedals,

with the front of your shoes close to the front edge of the foot platform.

Place your hands at a comfortable position on the upper body arms. Move

your highest foot forward, and follow the natural path of the machine.

Start on a level that is comfortable to familiarize yourself with the machine.

Once you are comfortable, start adjusting the level to achieve the desired

workout.

Full Body/Lower Body

You can use your Schwinn® elliptical trainer for a complete body workout

or lower body workout only. If you choose not to use your arms, place

them on the stationary handles in front of you. Remember, the more

muscles you use, the more calories you burn

Forward/Reverse

You can use your Schwinn® elliptical trainer in the forward and reverse

directions to vary the muscles you work out. This will also vary your work-

out, helping you to stay motivated. To change directions, simply slow the

pedals down until they stop, and switch directions.

Resistance adjustment

Using the console, you have control over the levels of resistance

integrated into your workout. Typically, lower resistance levels enable you

to move at a faster pace, placing increased demand on your cardiovascular

system. Higher resistance levels will typically deliver more of a muscle /

endurance workout at lower RPMs. But everyone is different! So experi-

ment and find the beginning of resistance that is comfortable for you.
