5.2 HEART RATE MONITORING
THE HEART RATE CHEST STRAP
The Heart Rate Chest Strap allows the built-in Polar
®
telemetry
heart rate feature to continuously monitor your heart rate.*
In many workouts, it also adjusts aspects of the workout
such as resistance level.
To begin, wet the transmitter electrodes (A), (the two grooved
surfaces on the underside of the strap) and secure the strap
as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap
should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal
breathing.
The transmitter strap will deliver an optimum heart rate
reading when the electrodes are directly in contact with bare
skin. However, it will function properly through wet,
lightweight clothing.
The key to proper operation is for the electrodes to remain moist in order to transmit the electrical impulses of the heart back to
the receiver.
If it becomes necessary to remoisten the chest strap electrodes, simply grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the chest
to expose the two electrodes, then moisten them in this position.
6. CORRECT USAGE
6.1 LOWER BODY VS. TOTAL BODY
This product allows you to include an upper-body workout with your lower-body exercise. The benefits of this option are twofold.
First, you are able to reach your target heart rate faster and stay in your target zone. Second, by including the upper-body in your
cardiovascular workout you are not only burning fat, you are also toning the muscles of your arms, chest, and back.
6.2 BIOMECHANICAL GUIDELINES
There are four exercise variations that can be performed on the Cross-Trainer. For each variation, it is important to follow these
general biomechanical guidelines as well as the specific instructions listed below.
6.2.1 G
ENERAL
 Feet should be in a comfortable position facing forward on the pedals so the knees move in a forward plane (not angled inward or
outward) and so the hips do not rotate outward.
Keep back straight. Do not bend forward at the waist.
Keep both feet on the pedals at all times.
If desired, allow heels to slightly lift off the pedals during the motion.
Do not lock knees during the workout. Keep them slightly bent throughout the motion.
6.2.2 FORWARD MOTION LOWER BODY
 Mount the Cross-Trainer facing forward
 Hands should be positioned comfortably on the center stationary handle
Choose the desired workout profile and duration on the console
 Begin moving feet in a smooth forward pedaling motion by pushing top foot forward and pulling bottom foot backward
 Exercise at a speed that is comfortable for you
* The X5i comes standard with a Polar Heart Rate chest strap and 5 Zone Training workouts. On the X5, the heart rate chest strap
is optional with the purchase of the Heart Rate Receiver/Accessory Tray Kit. This option includes 2 Zone Training workouts (Cardio
and Fat Burn).
