the direction shown by the arrow at the right; how-

ever, for variety, you can turn the crank arms in the

opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-

als come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical

exerciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals

will continue to move until the flywheel stops.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers an array of features

designed to make your workouts more effective and

enjoyable. When the manual mode of the console is

selected, you can change the resistance of the pedals

with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the con-

sole will provide continuous exercise feedback. You

can even monitor your heart rate using the handgrip

pulse sensor.

The console also offers a selection of preset programs.

The two calorie goal programs allow you to choose a

calorie-burning goal for your workout. As you exercise,

the console will count the calories that you burn until

the goal is reached.

The two pulse control programs automatically control

the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to

increase or decrease your pedaling pace to keep your

heart rate near a target heart rate setting during your

workout.

The distance program counts the number of revolu-

tions that you pedal during your workout, until you

have completed 5,000 revolutions.

The three resistance & rpm programs automatically

change the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to

vary your pedaling pace as they guide you through an

effective workout.

The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-

ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-

sonal trainer in your home. Using a stereo audio cable

(available at electronics stores), 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 pedals 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. Topurchase iFIT.com

CDs and videocassettes, call the toll-free tele-

phone number on the front cover of this manual.

With the elliptical exerciser connected to your comput-

er,you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com

and access programs directly from the internet.

Explore www.iFIT.com for more information.

pulse sensor frequently for the program to oper-

ate properly. Each time you hold the handgrip

pulse sensor, keep your hands on the metal

contacts for at least 30 seconds.

Begin pedaling to start the program.

Pulse control program 3 is divided into 30 one-

minute segments. One target heart rate setting is

programmed for each segment. Note: The same

target heart rate setting may be programmed for

two or more consecutive segments.

The target heart rate

setting for the first

segment will be

shown in the flashing

Current Segment col-

umn in the center of

the display. The tar-

get heart rate settings for the next four segments

will be shown in the columns to the right.

When only three seconds remain in the first seg-

ment of the program, both the Current Segment

column and the column to the right will flash, a

series of tones will sound, and

all target heart

rate settings will move one column to the left.

The target heart rate setting for the second seg-

ment will then be shown in the flashing Current

Segment column.

Pulse control program 4 is divided into 40 one-

minute segments. The same target heart rate set-

ting is programmed for all segments. Note: For a

shorter workout, stop exercising or select a differ-

ent program before the program ends.

During both pulse control programs, the con-

sole will regularly compare your heart rate to the

target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too

far below or above the target heart rate setting,

the resistance of the pedals will automatically

increase or decrease to bring your heart rate

closer to the target heart rate setting.

After the first minute of the program, the Pace

Coach will prompt you to maintain a consistent

pedaling pace. When one of the “Too Slow”

arrows lights, increase your pace. When the one

ofthe “Too Fast” arrows lights, decrease your

pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain

your current pace.

Important: The target heart rate settings are

intended only to provide motivation. Your

actual heart rate may be slower than the tar-

get heart rate settings. Make sure to exercise

at a pace that is comfortable for you.

Note: During the program, you can manually over-

ride the resistance setting for the current seg-

ment, if desired, by pressing the increase and

decrease buttons. However, when the console

compares your heart rate to the target heart rate

setting, the resistance of the pedals may auto-

matically increase or decrease to bring your heart

rate closer to the target heart rate setting.

If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone

will sound and the program will pause. Torestart

the program, simply resume pedaling.

Monitor your progress with the display.

See step 4 on page 13.

Turn on the fan if desired.

See step 6 on page 14.

When you are finished exercising, the console

will automatically turn off.

See step 7 on page 14.

HOW TO USE THE DISTANCE PROGRAM

Press the Resistance decrease button or

begin pedaling to turn on the console.

A moment after the console is turned on, the dis-

play will light.

Select the distance program.

Press the Programs

button repeatedly until

“P 5” and a goal of

5,000 revolutions

appear in the display.

Begin pedaling to start the program.

When the distance program is used, the console

will function in the same way as when the manual

mode is selected, except the right side of the dis-

play will show the number of revolutions still to be

pedaled instead of the number of revolutions you

have pedaled. When the calorie goal is reached, a

tone will sound and the time will stop incrementing

in the display.

When you are finished exercising, the console

will automatically turn off.

See step 7 on page 14.

HOW TO USE A RESISTANCE & RPM PROGRAM

Press the Resistance decrease button or

begin pedaling to turn on the console.

A moment after the console is turned on, the dis-

play will light.

Select one of the resistance & rpm programs.

Press the Programs

button repeatedly until

“P 6,” “P 7,” or “P 8”

appears in the right

side of the display.

When a resistance &

rpm program is select-

ed, a profile of the resistance settings of the pro-

gram will scroll across the center of the display.

The left side of the display will show how long the

program will last.

Begin pedaling to start the program.

Each program is divided into several one-minute

segments. One resistance setting and one pace

setting are programmed for each segment. Note:

The same resistance setting and/or pace setting

may be programmed for two or more consecutive

segments.

The resistance setting

for the first segment

will be shown in the

flashing Current

Segment column in

the center of the dis-

play. (Note: The pace

settings are not shown in the display.) The resis-

tance settings for the next four segments will be

shown in the columns to the right.

As you exercise, the Pace Coach will help you to

keep your pedaling pace near the pace setting for

the current segment. When one of the “Too Slow”

arrows lights, increase your pace. When the one

of the “Too Fast” arrows lights, decrease your

pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain

your current pace.

Important: The pace settings are intended

only to provide motivation. Your actual pace

may be slower than the pace settings. Make

sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable

for you.

When only three seconds remain in the first seg-

ment of the program, both the Current Segment

column and the column to the right will flash, a

series of tones will sound, and

all resistance set-

tings will move one column to the left.

The resis-

tance setting for the second segment will then be

shown in the flashing Current Segment column,

and the resistance of the pedals will change to the

resistance setting for the second segment. Note: If

all of the indicators in the Current Segment col-

umn are lit after the resistance settings have

moved to the left,

the resistance settings may

move downward

so only the highest indicators

appear in the matrix.

The program will continue until the resistance

setting for the last segment is shown in the

Current Segment column and the last segment

ends.

Note: During the program, you can override the

resistance setting for the current segment, if

desired, by pressing the increase or decrease but-

ton. However, when the next segment begins, the

resistance will change if a different resistance set-

ting is programmed for the next segment.

If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone

will sound and the program will pause. To restart

the program, simply resume pedaling.

Monitor your progress with the display.

HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor

during use, turn one or both of the leveling feet

beneath the rear stabilizer until the rocking motion is

eliminated.

HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

•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 30 seconds.

• For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse sen-

sor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts

can be cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alco-

hol, abrasives, or chemicals.

HOW TO ELIMINATE FLEXING IN THE CENTER OF

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

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 recom-

mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat

burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age

at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded offto 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 recommend-

ed heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Fat Burning

Toburn fat effectively,you must exercise at a relative-

ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.

During the first few minutes of exercise, your body

uses easily accessible

carbohydrate

calories for ener-

gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does

your body begin to use stored

fat

calories for energy.

Ifyour goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your

exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num-

ber 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 num-

ber in your training zone as you exercise.

Aerobic Exercise

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-

tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exer-

cise 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 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 prepa-

ration for exercise.

Training zone exercise,consisting of 20 to 30 min-

utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training

zone. Note: During the first few weeks of your exer-

cise 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.

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 exer-

cise, 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.

WARNING:

Before beginning this or any exercise pro-

gram, consult your physician. This is espe-

cially 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 determin-

ing heart rate trends in general.
