Proper Usage - Matrix E1x Manual Del Usuario

PROPER USAGE

This equipment offers a variety of foot positions. Moving your foot
to the forward most position of the foot pad increases your step
height, which will create a feel similar to a step machine. Placing
your foot toward the back of the foot pad decreases your step height
and creates more of a gliding feel, similar to a smooth walk or run.
Always make sure your entire foot is secured on the foot pad.
This equipment also allows you to pedal both forward and backwards
to offer a variation to your workout and to focus on other major
leg muscle groups such as your hamstrings and calves.
To determine proper workout position, stand on the pedal with
your foot on the center of the pedal. Keep your knees slightly
bent at all times. You should be able to pedal without locking
your knees or shifting your weight from side to side.
USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION
The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device. While heart rate grips
can provide a relative estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be relied
on when accurate readings are necessary. Some people, including those in a cardiac
rehab program, may benefit from using an alternate heart rate monitoring system
like a chest or wrist strap. Various factors, including movement of the user, may affect
the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an
exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general. Please consult your physician.
PULSE GRIPS
Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip
the bars for your heart rate to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds)
for your heart rate to register. When gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly.
Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold.
You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars.
Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.
WIRELESS HEART RATE RECEIVER
Backside of chest strap
Apply moisture here
When used in conjunction with a wireless chest transmitter, your heart rate
can be transmitted wirelessly to the unit and displayed on the console.
Prior to wearing the wireless chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber
electrodes with water. Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles,
directly over your sternum, with the logo facing out. NOTE: The chest strap must be tight and
properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap is too loose,
or positioned improperly, you may receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout.
WARNING!
Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Over exercising may result in
serious injury or death. If you feel faint, stop exercising immediately.
