Your First Workout
Just like stepping out the door for a run, getting started with the Zero Runner is simple...just step on the machine,
turn on the console and start moving! Before you get going, however, it is important to know how to safely get
on and off the machine, how to adjust the stride motion, and how to set up your ‘training monitor’, the console.
Follow these simple guidelines and you’ll soon be off and running:
• Set the Stride Control Adjusters to the center position. Both adjusters must be set to the same
position.
• Carefully step onto the machine. First step onto the rear step, then grasp the stationary handlebar or
side shrouds as you carefully place one foot and then the other onto the pedals. Make sure your feet are
all the way forward in the pedals.
• Facing forward, grasp the stationary handlebar and begin to move your legs. You are in full control
of how the pedals move. While holding on for balance, try a few different motions: first hop from side to
side, then shift to short strides. Then try kicking your heels to your glutes, and slowly extend your stride.
Finally, when you feel confident, pick up the speed, still focusing on kicking up your heels and shifting your
body weight side-to-side as you lengthen your stride.
• Grasp the moving handlebars to add the arm motion. Now you are striding in a natural running motion.
Focus on smooth movement and balance as you continue to pick up speed.
• Adjust the stride motion to your liking. The Stride Control Adjusters change the tension of the pedal
motion. If you feel that the motion is too “tight” for you, stop pedaling and move both adjusters toward the
“–” position. If you feel that the motion is too “loose”, stop pedaling and move both adjusters toward the
“+” position. It may take some experimentation before you find the adjuster position that suits you best.
You can position the adjusters anywhere along the continuum from “+” to “–” to fit your needs; however,
both levers must be in the same relative position in order for the pedals to provide a smooth, balanced
motion.
• Power up the console to guide your workout. Once you feel comfortable with the motion of the Zero
Runner, you are ready to activate the console to monitor and motivate your workout. Like a training watch
or heart rate monitor, the console keeps you informed with important workout data. To get started, simply
press the (Power) button and resume pedaling, and the timer begins counting up the minutes and seconds
of your workout. Your pace, stride length, and distance are also shown. If you are grasping the contact grips
on the stationary handlebar or wearing a heart-rate transmitter, your heart rate is also displayed. When
you are ready for more than these simple settings, you can learn how to take advantage of the additional
features and training motivators described later in this manual.
• Enjoy your workout, then step off of the machine. When you have completed your workout, stop the
pedal and arm motion. While grasping the stationary handlebar or the side shrouds, carefully step onto the
floor or onto the back step and away from the machine. Note that the pedals will swing as you step off, so
watch your shins!
That’s it! You are up and running. The remainder of this manual describes in detail the console display elements,
keypad key functions, training program options, and sample workout scenarios for you to explore. Enjoy the
journey as you run for the rest of your life!
