SOFT TRAC ® SYSTEM
The Soft Trac® system is the Total Body Trainer’s foot comfort and stride absorption system consisting of a yielding, durable rubber
pad covering both foot pedals. This system is designed to protect ankles, knees, joints, and back while reducing numbness in toes
and feet and providing a comfortable striding surface. Whether you place your feet at the front, middle, or rear of the pedals you will
enjoy the benefits of the Soft Trac® system.
HINTS AND TIPS FOR GETTING STARTED
The following hints and tips will assist in training your users to maximize the fitness benefits of your STAR TRAC TOTAL BODY TRAINER.
■ Stride at a rate that feels comfortable and most natural, yet is sufficient to achieve a good cardio work-
out.
■ Try different striding rhythms. In manual operation, vary your striding speed from slow to fast, then back to slow. As you
become more comfortable with your TOTAL BODY TRAINER, try striding faster, varying the resistance LEVEL, or using the preset
programs.
■ Watch the Profile Display to anticipate resistance changes. When you use the preset programs, the display shows
changes in terrain as tall or short columns.
