FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

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 con-

sole will provide continuous exercise feedback. You

can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip

pulse sensor.

The console also offers six preset programs. Each

program automatically changes the resistance of the

pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your

pedaling speed as it guides you through an effective

workout.

In addition, the console features two heart rate pro-

grams that change the resistance of the pedals to

keep your heart rate near target heart rate settings

while you exercise.

The console also features the new iFIT Interactive

Workout System. The iFIT Interactive Workout System

is compatible with iFIT cards containing workout pro-

grams designed to help you achieve specific fitness

goals. For example, lose unwanted pounds with the 8-

week Weight Loss program. iFIT programs control the

resistance of the pedals while the voice of a personal

trainer coaches you and motivates you through your

workouts. One iFIT card with three new programs is

included. Additional iFIT cards are available separate-

ly. To purchase iFIT cards, go to www.iFIT.com or

call the telephone number on the front cover of

this manual. iFIT cards are also available at select

stores.

You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player

to the console’s stereo sound system and listen to

your favorite workout music or audio books while you

exercise.

To use the manual mode of the console, follow the

steps beginning on page 15. To use a preset

program, see page 17. To use a heart rate program,

see page 18. To use an iFIT program, see page 19.

When you select a preset program, the name of

the program will appear in the display for a few

seconds. A profile of the resistance settings of the

program will then appear in the display.

3. Begin pedaling to start the program.

Each program is divided into either 20 or 30 one-

minute segments. One resistance setting and one

target speed setting are programmed for each

segment. Note: The same resistance setting

and/or target speed setting may be programmed

for consecutive segments.

During the program, the program profile will show

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

ing column of the profile represents the current

segment of the program. The height of the flashing

column indicates the resistance setting for the cur-

rent segment. At the end of each segment of the

program, a series of tones will sound and the next

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

ent resistance setting is programmed for the next

segment, the resistance setting 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

speed near the target

speed setting for the

current segment. When

an upward-pointing arrow appears in the display,

increase your speed. When a downward-pointing

arrow appears, decrease your speed. When no

arrow appears, maintain your current speed.

IMPORTANT: The target speed settings are

intended only to provide motivation. Make sure

to pedal at a speed that is comfortable for you.

If the resistance setting for the current segment is

too high or too low, you can manually override the

setting by pressing the OneTouch Resistance but-

tons. However, when the current segment ends,

the resistance of the pedals will automatically

adjust to the resistance setting for the next seg-

ment.

heart rate settings will be programmed for different

segments of the program. If you have selected

heart rate program 2, press the increase and

decrease buttons above the Heart Rate Programs

button to enter the desired maximum target heart

rate setting for the program (see EXERCISE

INTENSITY on page 21).

4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen-

sor continuously during heart rate programs; how-

ever, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor

frequently for the programs to operate properly.

Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor,

keep your hands on the metal contacts for at

least 30 seconds.

5. Begin pedaling to start the program.

Heart rate program 1 is divided into 40 one-

minute segments. Note: For a shorter workout,

stop exercising or select a different program

before the program ends.

Heart rate program 2 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

consecutive segments.

During the program, the program profile in the dis-

play will show your progress. The flashing column

of the profile represents the current segment of the

program. The height of the flashing column indi-

cates the target heart rate setting for the current

segment. At the end of each segment of the pro-

gram, a series of tones will sound and the next

segment of the profile will begin to flash.

During both programs, the console will regularly

compare your heart rate to the target heart rate

setting for the current segment of the program. 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

setting will appear in the display for a few seconds

to alert you.

While you exercise, you will be prompted to main-

tain a constant pedaling speed. If an upward-point-

ing arrow appears in the display (see the drawing

above), increase your speed. If a downward-point-

ing arrow appears, decrease your speed. When no

arrow appears, maintain your current speed.

If the resistance setting for the current segment is

too high or too low, you can manually override the

setting by pressing the OneTouch Resistance but-

tons. However, when the console compares your

heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the resis-

tance of the pedals may automatically increase or

decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the tar-

get heart rate setting.

If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series

of tones will sound and the program will pause. To

restart the program, simply resume pedaling. The

program will continue until the last segment of the

program ends.

6. Follow your progress with the display.

During heart rate program 1, the display will

show your heart rate, your pedaling speed, and

the distance that you have pedaled. During heart

rate program 2, the display will show the program

profile, your pedaling speed, and the distance that

you have pedaled.

To view the time remaining in the program instead

of your heart rate or the program profile, press the

Display button.

To view the approximate number of calories that

you are burning per hour and the approximate

number of calories that you have burned during

your workout, press the Display button again.

To view your heart rate or the program profile

again, press the Display button again.

7. Turn on the fan if desired.

See step 6 on page 16.

8. When you are finished exercising, the console

will turn off automatically.

See step 7 on page 16.

HOW TO USE AN IFIT PROGRAM

1. Press any button on the console or begin ped-

aling to turn on the console.

See step 1 on page 15.

2. Insert an iFIT card and select a program.

To use an iFIT program, insert an iFIT card into

the iFIT slot; make sure that the iFIT card is orient-

ed 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 words IFIT 1 will appear in the display.

Next, select the desired program on the iFIT card

by pressing the up and down buttons next to the

iFIT slot.

A moment after you select a program, the voice of

a personal trainer will begin guiding you through

your workout. iFIT programs work in the same way

as preset programs. To use the program, see

steps 3 to 6 on page 17.

HOW TO USE THE STEREO SOUND SYSTEM

To play music or audio

books through the con-

sole’s stereo sound system

while you exercise, first

locate the stereo audio

cable in the center of the

console above the speak-

ers. Plug the cable into a jack on your MP3 player or

CD player; make sure that the audio cable is fully

plugged in.

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.

When not in use, insert the stereo audio cable into the

storage bracket on the console.

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.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If the console display becomes dim, the batteries

should be replaced; most console problems are the

result of low batteries. See assembly step 11 on page

11 for replacement instructions.

HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER OR

ELIMINATE FLEXING IN THE FRAME

If the elliptical exerciser rocks on your floor during use,

turn one or both of the Leveling Feet (98) until the

rocking motion is eliminated.

If the elliptical exerciser flexes in the center during

use, turn the Center Foot (95) until the flexing is elimi-

nated.

HOW TO ELIMINATE RUBBING OF THE DISCS

See the drawing above. If the Discs (12) rub against

the Side Shields (14, 15) during use, make sure that

the Center Foot (95) is installed in the Folding Frame

(2). If the Center Foot is installed, loosen the two indi-

cated Bolt Sets (88) and the two M4 x 16mm Screws

(97) in each side of the elliptical exerciser.

Adjust the position of the Side Shields (14, 15) until the

Discs (12) no longer rub against them, and then tighten

the Bolt Sets (88) and the M4 x 16mm Screws (97).

HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

If the handgrip pulse sensor does not function proper-

ly, see step 5 on page 16.

HOW TO ADJUST THE BELT

If the pedals slip

while you are

pedaling, even

while the resis-

tance is adjusted

to the highest set-

ting, the belt may

need to be adjust-

ed. To adjust the

belt, first carefully

pry off the left

Disc Cover (13)

using a flat screwdriver. Next, remove the four Screws

(not shown) from the center of the left Disc (12).

Gently rotate the Disc Cover and the Disc away from

the elliptical exerciser.

Loosen, but do

not remove, the

three 1/4" x

19mm Button

Screws (114).

Insert the shaft of

a screwdriver

downward

between the

Idler (47) and the

Idler Pulley (48).

Pull the top of the

screwdriver

toward the rear of the elliptical exerciser until the Belt

(96) is tight, and then tighten the three Button Screws.

Reattach the left disc with the four screws and then

reattach the left disc cover.

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.

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.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: 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 determin-

ing heart rate trends in general.

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 ten-

dons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles ten-

dons 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 but-

tocks 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.
