EXERCISER

EXERCISER
Handlebars

Stand in front of the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars firmly, and place one foot against one of the
wheels. Pull the handlebars until the elliptical exerciser can be moved on the wheels, and carefully move
the elliptical exerciser to the desired location. Then,
place one foot against a wheel, and lower the elliptical exerciser. Due to the size and weight of the
elliptical exerciser, use extreme caution while
moving and lowering it.

Handgrip

EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handgrip
pulse sensor and step onto the pedal that is in the
lowest position. Next, step onto the other pedal. Push
the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous
motion.

Pedals

To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the pedals come to a complete stop. The elliptical exerciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals will
continue to move until the flywheel stops. When
the pedals are stationary, step off the highest pedal
first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.

sonal trainer in your home. Using the included stereo
audio cable, you can connect the elliptical exerciser to
your portable stereo, home stereo, computer, or VCR
and play special iFIT.com CD and video programs
(iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are available separately), iFIT.com programs automatically control the
resistance of the elliptical exerciser and prompt you to
vary your pace as a personal trainer coaches you
through every step of your workout. High-energy music
provides added motivation. To purchase iFIT.com
CDs and videocassettes, call the toll-free telephone
number on the front cover of this manual

The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and
effective. When the manual mode of the console is
selected, the resistance of the elliptical exerciser can
be changed with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide continuous exercise
feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using
the handgrip pulse sensor.
The console also offers eight preset programs. Each
program automatically changes the resistance of the
elliptical exerciser and prompts you to increase or
decrease your pace as it guides you through an effective workout.

With the elliptical exerciser connected to your computer, you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com
and access programs directly from the internet.
Explore www.iFlT.com for more information.

In addition, the console features two heart rate programs that automatically change the resistance of the
elliptical exerciser and prompt you to vary your pace to
keep your heart rate near a target heart rate while you
exercise.

To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 9. To use a preset program,

CONDiTiONiNG

GUiDELiNES
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for energy. 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 the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone as you exercise.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be "aerobic." 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 the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone as you exercise.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to 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 recommended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat
burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.

Exercise

WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise
program, do not keep your heart rate in your training
zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help to prevent post-exercise problems.

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to
the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers
above your age. The three numbers are your "training
zone." The lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week
if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
