HOW TO USE THE AIR STRIDER
ELECTRONIC MONITOR MODES
CAUTION: When you are getting onto and off
the AIR STRIDER, always tighten the resis-
tance dials, hold the handles firmly, and be
sure that your body weight is centered direct-
ly over the pedals.
The simple-to-operate electronic monitor offers
five different modes to provide instant exercise
feedback. The five modes are described below:
SpeedÑDisplays the number of repetitions you are
performing per minute.
EXERCISING ON THE AIR STRIDER
TimeÑDisplays the length of time you have exer-
cised. Note: If you stop exercising for ten seconds or
longer, the time mode will pause until you resume.
Make sure that the lock knob is tightened into the
right leg and pivot bracket (see assembly step 8 on
page 6). Tighten the resistance dials, hold the han-
dles, and step onto the pedals. The proper form for
exercising on the AIR STRIDER is similar to the
motion of walkingÑmove one leg forward as you
move the other leg back.
DistanceÑDisplays the total number of repetitions
you have completed, up to Ò999.Ó The display will then
reset to Ò0Ó and continue counting.
CaloriesÑDisplays the approximate number of
Calories you have burned. Note: If the resistance is
near the highest or lowest setting, the actual number
of Calories you have burned will be slightly higher or
lower than the number displayed.
For a full body workout, hold the handles as you walk,
and move your arms and legs in motion with the han-
dles and pedals. To vary the effect of the exercise on
your muscles, change your stance on the AIR
STRIDER. For example, stand erect or lean against
the hip pad, change the position of your hands on the
handles, or bend your legs slightly instead of keeping
them straight.
ScanÑDisplays the speed, time, distance, and calo-
ries modes, for approximately 5 seconds each,
in a repeating cycle.
DIAGRAM OF THE ELECTRONIC MONITOR
For a lower body workout, rest your hands on the
frame for balance as you move the pedals.
RESISTANCE ADJUSTMENT

To vary the intensity of your workout, the resistance of
the AIR STRIDER can be changed. To increase the
resistance, turn the resistance dials clockwise. To
decrease the resistance, turn the resistance dials
counterclockwise.

OPERATING THE ELECTRONIC MONITOR
Speed, time, distance, or calories modeÑ
These modes can be individually selected by
repeatedly pressing the mode button. The mode
indicators will show which mode has been select-
ed. (Make sure that the scan mode is not select-
ed.) The modes will be selected in the following
order: speed, time, distance, calories, scan.
1. To turn on the power, press the on/reset button or
simply begin exercising on the AIR STRIDER. The
entire display will appear for two seconds. The
electronic monitor will then be ready for operation.
2. Select one of the five modes:
3. The monitor has an auto-off feature to turn off
the power. If the pedals are not moved and the
monitor buttons are not pressed for four minutes,
the power will turn off automatically in order to
conserve the batteries.
Scan modeÑWhen the power is turned on, the
scan mode will be selected automatically. The
scan mode can also be selected by repeatedly
pressing the mode button. One mode indicator will
show that the scan mode has been selected, and
a second mode indicator will show which mode is
currently displayed.
To reset the LCD display, press the on/reset button.
STORAGE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the AIR STRIDER reg-
ularly. Replace any worn parts immediately. The AIR
STRIDER can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth.
Keep liquids away from the electronic monitor. Keep
the monitor out of direct sunlight or the display may
be damaged. Remove the batteries when storing the
AIR STRIDER.
REPLACING THE BATTERIES
If the display of the electronic monitor becomes dim,
or if the monitor does not function properly, the batter-
ies should be replaced. To replace the batteries, refer
to assembly step 6 on page 6.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
HOW TO FOLD THE AIR STRIDER FOR STORAGE
If the speed and distance modes do not display cor-
rect information, the reed switch should be adjusted.
The reed switch is
located below the
electronic monitor
When the AIR STRIDER is not in use, it can be folded
for compact storage. To fold the AIR STRIDER, first
remove the lock knob and lock washer from the right
leg. Next, hold the resistance dials and fold the frame
and the uprights together. Place the AIR STRIDER in
a location where it cannot fall.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following general guidelines will help you to plan
your exercise program. Remember that proper nutri-
tion and adequate rest are essential for successful
results.
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If
your goal is to burn fat, adjust your pace or the resis-
tance until your heart rate is near the lowest number
in your training zone as you exercise.
WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise
program, consult your physician. This is espe-
cially important for individuals over the age of 35
or individuals with pre-existing health problems.
For maximum fat burning, adjust your pace or the
resistance until your heart rate is near the middle
number in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
EXERCISE INTENSITY
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be Òaerobic.Ó Aerobic exercise
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,
adjust your pace or the resistance until your heart rate
is near the highest number in your training zone as
you exercise.
Whether your goal is to burn fat or strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burn-
ing, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise. (This chart
is also found on the console.)
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart rate, first exercise for at least
four minutes. Then, stop exercising and place two fin-
gers on your wrist as shown. Take a six-second heart-
beat count, and
multiply the result
by 10 to find your
heart rate. For
example, if your
six-second heart-
beat count is 14,
your heart rate is
140 beats per
minute. (A six-sec-
ond count is used
because your
heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop exercising.)
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
on either side of the chart (ages are rounded off to the
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers to the
side of your age. The three numbers are your Òtraining
zone.Ó The lowest number is the recommended heart
rate for fat burning; the middle number is the recom-
mended heart rate for maximum fat burning; the high-
est number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic
exercise.
Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart
rate is at the desired level. You can adjust the intensity
of your exercise by changing your pace or by adjust-
ing the resistance.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
Fat Burning
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases the
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-
ration for strenuous exercise.
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-

Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week, if desired.
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
Thorough stretching helps to offset problems caused
when you stop exercising suddenly. Stretching for
increased flexibility is also most effective after exercis-
ing. A proper cool-down should leave you relaxed and
comfortably tired.
Remember, the key to success is make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
