FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
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 crosstrainer
can be adjusted with a touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide continuous exercise
feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using
the built-in handgrip pulse sensor. (For information
about an optional chest pulse sensor, refer to page 20.)
The console also offers four Smart workout programs.
Each program automatically changes the resistance of
the elliptical crosstrainer and prompts you to increase
or decrease your pace as it guides you through an
effective workout.
In addition, the console features two Heart Rate workout programs that automatically change the resistance
of the elliptical crosstrainer and prompt you to vary
your pace to keep your heart rate near a target heart
rate as you exercise.
The console also features new iFIT.com interactive
technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a personal trainer right in your home. Using a stereo audio
cable (available at electronics stores), you can connect

the elliptical crosstrainer to your home stereo, portable
stereo, or computer and play special iFIT.com CD programs (CD's are available separately). IFlT.com CD
programs automatically control the resistance of the
elliptical crosstrainer 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. Each CD features two programs designed
by certified personal trainers.
In addition, you can connect the elliptical crosstrainer
to your VCR and TV and play iFIT.com video programs
(videocassettes are available separately). Video programs offer the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, but add the excitement of working out with a
class and an instructor.
With the elliptical crosstrainer connected to your computer, you can also go to our new Web site at
www.iFIT.com and access audio programs and video
programs directly from the intemet.
For information about the availability of iFIT.com
CD's or videocassettes, send an e-mail to
ellipticalworkouts@iFIT.com,
and we'll notify you
as soon as iFIT.com CD's and videocassettes are
available. Or, call toll-free 1-800-884-0620.

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM

When using a Heart Rate program, you must use
the handgrip pulse sensor (refer to step 5 on
page 12) or the optional chest pulse sensor (refer
to page 20). If you use the handgrip pulse sensor,
it is not necessary to hold the handgrips continuously during the program. However, you should
hold the handgdps frequently for the program to
operate properly. Each time you .hold the handgrips, keep your hands on the metal contacts
for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not
holding the handgrips, the letters PLS will appear
in the display instead of your head rate.

Each Heart Rate program helps you to keep your
heart rate near a cedain percentage of your maximum
heart rate during your workout. (Your maximum heart
rate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220.
For example, if you are 25 years old, your maximum
heart rate is 195.) Heart Rate program 5 is designed
to keep your heart rate between 65% and 85% of your
maximum heart rate while you exercise; Heart Rate
program 6 is designed to keep your heart rate
between 65% and 80% of your maximum heart rate.
Follow the steps below to use a Heart Rate program.

Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

Turn on the console.

Start the program.
To start the program, simply begin exercising.
Each Heart Rate program consists of twenty, oneminute periods. One resistance setting and one
heart rate setting are programmed for each period. (The same resistance setting and/or heart
rate setting may be programmed for consecutive
periods.)

Refer to step 1 on page 12.
Select one of the two Heart Rate programs,
Each time the
console is
turned on, the
manual mode
will be selected.
To select a
Heart Rate program, press the
Program button repeatedly until the number 5 or 6
appears in the upper right corner of the display.

During the program, the resistance of the elliptical
crosstrainer will automatically change as shown
by the applicable profile on the console. If the current resistance level is too high or too low, you
can adjust the resistance level by pressing the +
and - buttons. However, when the current period
of the program is completed, the resistance level
will automatically change if a different resistance
setting is programmed for the next pedod.

The profiles numbered 5 and 6 on the right side
of the console show the resistance settings for
the Heart Rate programs. For example, profile
number 5 shows that when Heart Rate program 5
is selected, the resistance level will gradually
increase during the program and then decrease
near the end.

and a small amount of mild dish soap. Important: To
avoid damage to the console, keep liquids away
from the console and keep the console out of
direct sunlight.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT

HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
° Avoid moving your hands while using the handgrip
pulse sensor. Excessive movement may interfere
with heart rate readings•
• Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the
metal contacts for about !5 seconds.

If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. Refer to assembly step 5 on
page 7 for replacement instructions. The console
requires four "D" batteries.

• For optimal performance of the handgdp pulse sensor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts
can be cleaned with a soft cloth--never use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.

CONDITIONING

GUIDELINES

kWARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35
or persons with pre-existing health problems.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determining hb_iPtrat_ t_ends i_ g_neral.

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.

uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored tat calories tor 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 Exercise
If your goat 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.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three pads:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exemise. 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
on the bottom line 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.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
