See step 7 on page 15.

Continue exercising for up to forty minutes. Stop
pedaling when you are finished with your workout.
The program you created will then be stored in
memory. Note: If your workout is less than thirty
minutes long, any remaining segments in the program will be stored with the last resistance level
and target pace setting you programmed.

4. When the program is finished, the console will
turn off automatically.
See step 7 on page 15.

HOW TO USE A CUSTOM PROGRAM

1. Turn on the console.

See step 1 on page 14.

2. Select a custom program.

To select a custom program, press the Custom
Programs button repeatedly until the words CUSTOM 1 or CUSTOM 2 appear in the display.

When you select a custom program, the name of
the program, the program time, and the maximum
pace and resistance level will appear in the display
for a few seconds. A profile of the resistance levels
of the program will then appear in the display.

Profile

3. Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each custom program is divided into 30 oneminute segments. One resistance level and one
target pace setting are programmed for each segment. Note: The same resistance level and/or target pace setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.

4. Change the program if desired.

If desired, you can change the program while
using it. To change the resistance level for the
current segment, simply press the OneTouch
Resistance buttons. At the end of the current segment, the new resistance level will be stored in
memory. To change the target pace for the current segment, simply change your pedaling pace.
At the end of the current segment, your pace will
be stored in memory. You can continue exercising
and changing the program for up to thirty minutes.

During the program, the program profile will show
your progress. The flashing segment of the profile
represents the current segment of the program.
The height of the flashing segment indicates the
resistance level for the current 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 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.

5. Follow your progress with the display.

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM

See step 4 on page 17.

1. Turn on the console.

See step 5 on page 15.

2. Select a heart rate program.

6. Measure your heart rate if desired.

See step 1 on page 14.

7. Turn on the fan if desired.

To select one of the heart rate programs, press the
Heart Rate Programs button repeatedly until the
words HEART RATE 1 or HEART RATE 2 appear
in the display.

See step 6 on page 15.

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

3. Enter a target heart rate setting.

See step 7 on page 15.

A few seconds after you select a heart rate program, the words ENTER MAX TARGET HEART
RATE FOR THIS WORKOUT will appear in the
display and the number 110 will begin to flash.

During heart rate program 1, the same target
heart rate setting will be programmed for all segments of the program. If you have selected heart
rate program 1, press the increase and decrease
buttons above the Heart Rate Programs button to
enter the desired target heart rate setting (see
EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 23).

During heart rate program 2, different target
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 23).

4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor continuously during heart rate programs; however, 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.

If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the OneTouch 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.

Heart rate program 1 is divided into 40 oneminute 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 oneminute 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 display will show your progress. The flashing segment of the profile represents the current segment
of the program. The height of the flashing segment
indicates the target heart rate setting for the current 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.

6. Follow your progress with the display.

During heart rate program 1, the display will
show a graphic that represents a heartbeat each
time your heartbeat is detected, the elapsed time,
and the distance that you have pedaled. During
heart rate program 2, the display will show the
program profile, the time remaining in the program, and the distance that you have pedaled.

Profile

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
level will appear in the display for a few seconds
to alert you.

To view the time remaining in the program and the
distance pedaled, press the Display button. Press
the Display button again to view the time remaining and the approximate number of calories
burned.

While you exercise,
you will be prompted to
maintain a constant
pedaling pace. When
an upward-pointing
arrow or the prompt
SPEED UP appears next to the pace information
in the display (see step 6 on this page), increase
your pace. When a downward-pointing arrow or
the prompt SLOW DOWN appears, decrease your
pace. When no arrow or prompt appears, maintain
your current pace.

To view the first display again, press the Display
button again.

7. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 15.

8. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 7 on page 15.

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
(116).

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.

HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

If the handgrip pulse sensor does not function properly, see step 5 on page 15.

HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER OR
ELIMINATE FLEXING IN THE FRAME

HOW TO ADJUST THE BELT

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 pedals slip
while you are
pedaling, even
while the resistance is adjusted
to the highest setting, the belt may

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING:

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.

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 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.
