FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers an array of features

designed to make your workouts more effective and

enjoyable.

When you use the manual mode of the console, you

can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch

of a button. As you exercise, the console will display

continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure

your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.

The console offers three interactive cross training

workouts designed to help you to burn calories and

enhance your cardiovascular system while toning and

strengthening your muscles. The cross training work-

outs automatically control the resistance of the pedals

and prompt you to perform a variety of strength exer-

cises during your workout. Note: The strength exercis-

es require the use of dumbbells and an inflatable exer-

cise ball (not included). To purchase dumbbells or

an exercise ball, call 1-888-533-1333.

designed to work specific areas of the body. The con-

sole guides you through each workout with a variety of

exercise instructions while automatically changing the

resistance of the pedals.

In addition, you can use three calorie goal workouts

designed to help you burn 300 or 400 calories in 30-

or 45-minute workouts. The calorie goal workouts

automatically control the resistance of the pedals and

prompt you to vary your pace while counting the calo-

ries you burn.

The console also has a high performance workout that

automatically changes the resistance of the pedals

and prompts you to vary your pace as it guides you

through an effective workout.

3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.

Each workout is divided into 25 or 45 one-minute

segments. One resistance level and one target

rpm (revolutions per minute) setting are pro-

grammed for most segments. (Note: The same

resistance level and/or target rpm setting may be

programmed for consecutive segments.) During

other segments, the console will prompt you to per-

form strength exercises.

During the workout, the workout profile will show

your progress (see the drawing above). The flash-

ing segment of the profile represents the current

segment of the workout. The height of the flashing

segment indicates the resistance level for the cur-

rent segment. At the end of each segment of the

workout, a series of tones will sound and the next

segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a differ-

ent resistance level is programmed for the next

segment, the resistance level will appear in the

display for a few seconds to alert you. The resis-

tance of the pedals will then change.

As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep

your pedaling pace near the target rpm setting for

the current segment. When the words PEDAL

FASTER appear in the upper display or the GO

FASTER indicator on the pace guide is lit,

increase your pace. When the words PEDAL

too high or too low, you can manually override the

setting by pressing the Resistance decrease and

increase buttons. However, when the current seg-

ment ends, the pedals will automatically adjust to

the resistance level for the next segment.

If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series

of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To

restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The

workout will continue until the last segment of the

profile flashes and the last segment of the workout

ends.

HOW TO USE THE HIGH PERFORMANCE WORKOUT

1. Turn on the console.

See step 1 on page 15.

2. Select the high performance workout.

Profile

3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.

The workout is divided into 45 one-minute seg-

ments. One resistance level and one target rpm

setting are programmed for each segment. Note:

The same resistance level and/or target rpm (revo-

lutions per minute) setting may be programmed for

consecutive segments. The displays for the high

performance workout will work in the same way as

the displays for a cross training workout (see step 3

on page 16).

As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep

your pedaling pace near the target rpm setting for

the current segment. When the words PEDAL

FASTER appear in the upper display or the GO

FASTER indicator on the pace guide is lit,

increase your pace. When the words PEDAL

SLOWER appear or the GO SLOWER indicator is

lit, decrease your pace. When the words PEDAL-

ING IN RANGE appear or when the center indica-

tor is lit, maintain your current pace.

IMPORTANT: The target rpm settings are

intended only to provide motivation. Your actu-

al pace may be slower than the target rpm set-

tings. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is com-

fortable for you.

If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series

of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To

restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The

workout will continue until the last segment of the

profile flashes and the last segment of the workout

ends.

When the last segment of the workout ends, the

words PROGRAM DONE will appear in the upper

display.

4. Follow your progress with the displays.

See step 4 on page 15.

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.

See step 5 on page 16.

6. Turn on the fan if desired.

See step 6 on page 16.

When you are finished exercising, the console

will turn off automatically.

See step 7 on page 16.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser

regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and

a small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid

damage to the console, keep liquids away from

the console and keep the console out of direct

sunlight.

CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING

If the console displays become dim, the batteries

should be replaced; most console problems are the

result of low batteries. See assembly step 5 on page 8

for replacement instructions. If the handgrip pulse sen-

sor does not function properly, see step 5 on page 16.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

If the console does not display correct feedback, the

reed switch should be adjusted. First, remove all of the

screws from both shields; there are three sizes of

screws in the shields--note which size of screw

you remove from each hole. Then, gently pry the

shields away from the frame.

Next, locate the

Reed Switch 58

(58). Turn the

Left Pedal Disc

(26) until the

Magnet (41) is

aligned with the

Reed Switch.

Loosen, but do

not remove, the

indicated M4 x

16mm Screw

(84). Slide the Reed Switch slightly closer to or away

from the Magnet, and then retighten the Screw. Rock

the Left Pedal Disc forward and backward just enough

that the Magnet passes the Reed Switch repeatedly.

Repeat until the console displays correct feedback.

When the Reed Switch is correctly adjusted, reattach

the shields. Note: If you have questions as to which

screw should be in which hole, see EXPLODED

DRAWING B on page 27 and the PART LIST on page

24.

HOW TO ADJUST THE BELT

If you can feel the

pedals slip while

you are pedaling,

even when the

resistance of the

pedals is at the

highest setting,

the Belt (46) may

need to be

adjusted. First,

remove all the

screws from both

shields; there are three sizes of screws in the

shields--note which size of screw you remove

from each hole. Then, gently pry the shields away

from the frame.

Next, turn the Belt Adjustment Screw (72) until the Belt

(46) is tight. Then, reattach the shields. Note: If you

have questions as to which screw should be in which

hole, see EXPLODED DRAWING B on page 27 and

the PART LIST on page 24.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise

program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a

reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,

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, exercising at the proper inten-

sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your

heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.

The chart below shows recommended heart rates for

fat burning and aerobic exercise.

165 155 145 140 130 125 115 _u_

145 I38 130 125 118 110 103 qu)

125 I20 ]I5 I10 105 95 90 u

20 30 40 50 60 70 80

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the

bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-

est ten years). The three numbers listed above your

age define your "training zone." The lowest number is

the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the

heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest

number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Burning Fat--To burn fat effectively, you must exer-

cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of

time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your

body uses 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. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your

heart rate near the middle number in your training

zone.

Aerobic Exercise--If your goal is to strengthen your

cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic

exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts

of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic

exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until

your heart rate is near the highest number in your

training zone.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Warming Up--Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching

and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body

temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation

for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise--Exercise for 20 to 30 min-

utes 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.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you

exercise-never hold your breath.

Cooling Down--Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of

stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your

muscles and helps 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. Remember, the key to success is to

make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your

everyday life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.

Move slowly as you stretch--never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from

your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach

down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,

then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of

knees, and back.

2. Hamstring Stretch

Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot

toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended

leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15

counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches:

Hamstrings, lower back, and groin.

3. Calf/Achilles Stretch

With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your

hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back

foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move

your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat

3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles

tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles

tendons, and ankles.

4. Quadriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp

one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your

buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3

times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

5. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.

Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for

15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and

hip muscles.
