CONSOLE DIAGRAM

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The console features the iFit interactive workout system, which enables the console to accept iFit cards
containing workouts designed to help you achieve
specific fitness goals. For example, lose unwanted
pounds with the 8-week Weight Loss workout. iFit
workouts control the resistance of the pedals while the
voice of a personal trainer coaches you through your
workouts. iFit cards are available separately. To purchase iFit cards, go to www.iFit.com or see the
front cover of this manual. iFit cards are also
available at select stores.

The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable. When you select 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 provide continuous exercise feedback. You
can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip
pulse sensor.

The console also offers four preset workouts. Each
workout automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your
pedaling pace as it guides you through an effective
workout.

You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player
to the consoleʼs sound system and listen to your
favorite music or audio books while you exercise.

To use the manual mode, see page 16. To use a
preset workout, see page 18. To use a heart rate
workout, see page 19. To use an iFit workout, see
page 20. To use the sound system, see page 20.

In addition, the console features two heart rate workouts that change the resistance of the pedals to keep
your heart rate near target heart rate settings while
you exercise.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

The lower right
display can show your
pedaling pace in revolutions per minute
(rpm) and the resistance level of the pedals. The display will change modes every few seconds. The display will also show your heart rate
when you use the handgrip pulse sensor (see step
5 on page 17).

Note: If there is a sheet of plastic on the face of the
console, remove the plastic.

1. Press any button on the console or begin pedaling to turn on the console.

When you turn on the console, the display and the
target pacer coach will light. A tone will then sound
and the console will be ready for use.

The left display will
show a track representing 640 revolutions. As you exercise,
indicators will appear
in succession around
the track until the
entire track appears.
The track will then disappear and the indicators
will again begin to appear in succession.

2. Select the manual mode.

When you turn on the console, the manual mode
will be selected. If you have selected a workout,
reselect the manual mode by pressing any of the
Quick Workouts buttons repeatedly until a track

button repeatedly until the desired exercise information appears in the upper or lower right display.
After several seconds, the display will change
modes automatically as before.

To view the trip distance, press the Odometer button. The information will appear in the display for a
few seconds. To reset the trip distance, hold down
the Odometer button for a few seconds. To view
the total distance pedaled since the elliptical was
purchased, press the Odometer button a second
time. (Note: The number on the right side of the
display multiplied by the number on the left side
equals the trip distance or the total distance.)

3. Begin pedaling and change the resistance of
the pedals as desired.
As you pedal, change
the resistance of the
pedals by pressing the
Quick Resistance buttons. Note: After you
press the buttons, it
will take a moment for the pedals to reach the
selected resistance level.

You may be able to adjust the volume level of the
console. To adjust the volume level of the console,
first press and hold down the Display button until
the display becomes blank. When you release the
Display button, the volume level will appear in the
display. Press the increase and decrease buttons
located above the Heart Rate buttons to select a
volume level. Then, press the Display button
again.

4. Follow your progress with the displays.

The upper right
display can show the
elapsed time, the distance (total revolutions) you have pedaled, the approximate
number of calories you have burned, and the
approximate number of grams of carbs you have
burned. The display will change modes every few
seconds.

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.

6. Turn on the fan if desired.

If there are
sheets of clear
Contacts
plastic on the
metal contacts on
the handgrip
pulse sensor,
remove the plastic. In addition,
make sure that
your hands are
clean. To measure
your heart rate, hold the handgrip pulse sensor
with your palms resting against the metal contacts.

fan will automatically increase or decrease as you
increase or decrease your pedaling speed. Press
the Fan button repeatedly to select a fan speed or
to turn off the fan. Note: If the pedals do not move
for about thirty seconds, the fan will turn off automatically.

Pivot the thumb tab
on the right side of
the fan to adjust
the fan angle.

When your pulse is detected, a heart-shaped symbol will flash in the display each time your heart
beats and then your heart rate will be shown. For
the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds.

Thumb Tab

7. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a
series of tones will sound and the console will
pause.

If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that
your hands are positioned as described. Be careful not to move your hands excessively or to
squeeze the metal contacts tightly. For optimal
performance, clean the metal contacts using a soft
cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean the contacts.

If the pedals do not move for about five minutes,
the console will turn off and the displays will be
reset.

HOW TO USE A PRESET WORKOUT

During the workout, the target pacer coach will
prompt you to keep your pedaling pace near the
target pace setting for the current segment. When
a left indicator lights, increase your pace; when a
right indicator lights, decrease your pace. When
the center indicator lights, maintain your current
pace. IMPORTANT: The target pacer coach is
intended only to provide a goal. Make sure to
pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.

1. Press any button on the console or begin pedaling to turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 16.

2. Select a preset workout.

To select one of the four preset workouts, press
the Weight Loss, the Aerobic 1, the Aerobic 2, or
the Performance button on the left side of the console.

When you select a preset workout, the name of
the workout and the maximum resistance level will
appear in the display for a few seconds. A profile
of the resistance levels of the workout will also
scroll across the left side of the display.

If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
resistance level by pressing the Quick Resistance
buttons. However, when the current segment
ends, the resistance of 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
workout ends.

4. Follow your progress with the displays.

3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.

See step 4 on page 16.

Each workout is divided into 30 one-minute segments. One resistance level and one target pace
setting is programmed for each segment. Note:
The same resistance level and/or target pace setting may be programmed for consecutive segments.

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 17.

6. Turn on the fan if desired.

During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The flashing segment of the profile represents the current
segment of the workout. The height of the flashing
segment indicates the resistance level for the current 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 different resistance level is programmed for the next
segment, the resistance level will appear in the
display for a few seconds to alert you. The resistance of the pedals will then change.

See step 6 on page 17.

7. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 7 on page 17.

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE WORKOUT

5. Begin pedaling to start the workout.

1. Press any button on the console or begin pedaling to turn on the console.

heart rate settings will be programmed for different
segments of the workout. If you have selected
heart rate workout 2, press the increase and
decrease buttons above the Heart Rate buttons to
enter the desired maximum target heart rate setting for the workout (see EXERCISE INTENSITY
on page 22).

During both workouts, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the target heart rate
setting for the current segment of the workout. 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.
Each time the resistance changes, the resistance
level will appear in the display for a few seconds
to alert you.

4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor continuously during heart rate workouts; however, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor
frequently for the workouts to operate properly.
Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor,
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at
least 30 seconds.

2. Insert an iFit card and select a workout.

While you exercise, the target pacer coach will
prompt you to maintain a constant pedaling speed.
When a left indicator lights, increase your pace;
when a right indicator lights, decrease your pace.
When the center indicator lights, maintain your
current pace. IMPORTANT: The target pacer
coach is intended only to provide a goal. Make
sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for
you.

To use an iFit workout, insert an iFit card into the
iFit slot; make sure that the iFit card is oriented so
the metal contacts are face down and are facing
the slot. When the iFit card is properly inserted,
the indicator next to the slot will light and the word
IFIT will appear in the display.

iFit Slot

If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
resistance level by pressing the Quick Resistance
buttons. However, when the console compares
your heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the
resistance of the pedals may automatically
increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.

iFit Card

Next, select the desired workout on the iFit card
by pressing the increase and decrease buttons
next to the iFit slot.

A moment after you select a workout, the voice of
a personal trainer will begin guiding you through
your workout. iFit workouts work in the same way
as preset workouts. To use the workout, see steps
3 to 7 on page 18.

3. When you are finished exercising, remove the
iFit card.

6. Follow your progress with the displays.
See step 4 on page 16.

Remove the iFit card when you are finished exercising. Store the iFit card in a secure place.

7. Turn on the fan if desired.

HOW TO USE THE SOUND SYSTEM

See step 6 on page 17.

8. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.

To play music or audio books through the consoleʼs
sound system while you exercise, plug the included
audio cable into the jack on the console and into a
jack on your MP3 player or CD player; make sure
that the audio cable is fully plugged in.

See step 7 on page 17.

HOW TO USE AN IFIT WORKOUT

Next, press the play button on your MP3 player or CD
player. Adjust the volume of the speakers using the
volume control on your MP3 player or CD player.
Note: You may also be able to adjust the volume of
the console as described in step 4 on page 16.

iFit cards are available separately. To purchase iFit
cards, go to www.iFit.com or see the front cover of this
manual. iFit cards are also available at select stores.
1. Press any button on the console or begin pedaling to turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 16.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical regularly.
Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the elliptical, 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.

HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL

If the elliptical 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.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If the console displays become dim, replace all the
batteries at the same time; most console problems are
the result of low batteries. See assembly step 7 on
page 9 for replacement instructions.

If the elliptical flexes in the center during use, turn the
base foot (see the drawing above) until the flexing is
eliminated.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: Before beginning this

Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise 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.

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 heart rate trends in general.

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.

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.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

EXERCISE INTENSITY

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.

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper intensity 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.

Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes 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 find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest 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.

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. 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

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.
