FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and effective. When the manual mode of the console is selected, the resistance of the pedals can be changed 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. Note: See page 21 for information
about an optional chest 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 pace as it guides you through an effective workout.
In addition, the console features two heart rate programs that automatically change the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to vary your pace to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate as you exercise.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technology. Having iFIT.com interactive technology is like having a personal trainer in your home. Using the included audio cable, you can connect the elliptical exerciser to your home stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and play special iFIT.com CD and video programs
(iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are available separately). iFIT.com CD and video 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. To purchase iFIT.com CDs
and videocassettes, call the telephone number on the front cover of this manual.
With the elliptical exerciser connected to your computer, you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com
and access programs directly from the internet.

Program Select button repeatedly until “P1,” “P2,” “P3,” “P4,”
“P5,” or “P6” appears in the lower display.
When a preset program is selected, the matrix will show the first six resistance settings of the program.
3
Press the Program Start button or begin pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into several time segments of different lengths. One resistance setting is programmed for each segment. (The same resistance 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 of the matrix. The resistance settings
Current Segment for the next five segments will be shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, a series of tones will sound;
all resistance settings will then move one column
to the left. The resistance setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing
Current Segment column and the resistance of the pedals will automatically change to the resistance setting for the second segment.
The program will continue until the resistance setting for the last segment is shown in the Current
Segment column of the matrix and no time remains in the program.
Note: During the program, you can override the resistance setting for the current segment by pressing the Resistance buttons. However, when the next segment begins, the resistance will automatically change if a different resistance setting 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.

When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off.
See step 7 on page 13.
14
HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Heart rate program 1 is designed to keep your heart rate between 60% and 85% of your
estimated maxi-
mum heart rate while you exercise. Note: Your maximum heart rate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190 (220 – 30 =
190).
Heart rate program 2 will keep your heart rate near a target heart rate that you select.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
1
Begin pedaling to activate the console.
See step 1 on page 12.
2 Select one of the heart rate programs.
To select a heart rate program, press the Program
Select button repeatedly until
“H1” or “H2” appears in the lower display.
If you selected heart rate program
1, the matrix will show the first eight target heart rate settings of the program.
If you selected heart rate program
2, a heart symbol will appear in the matrix.
If you selected heart rate program 1, go to step 3. If you selected heart rate program 2, go to step 4.
3
Enter your age.
When heart rate program 1 is selected, you must enter your age. If you have already entered your age, press the Enter
(Program Start) button and go to step 5. If you have not entered your age, press the + or
– button repeatedly to enter your age, and then press the Enter button. Note: Once you have entered your age, it will be saved in memory.
4 Enter a target heart rate.
When heart rate program 2 is selected, you must enter a target heart rate. (See the heart rate chart on page
23 for heart rate guidelines.) To enter a target heart rate, press the + or
– button repeatedly, and then press the Enter button.
5
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest pulse sensor. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrips continuously during the program. However, you should hold the handgrips frequently for the program to operate properly. Each time you hold
the handgrips, keep your hands on the metal
contacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not holding the handgrips, the letters
“PLS” will appear in the lower display instead of your heart rate.
15
6
Begin pedaling.
Each heart rate program is divided into 30 oneminute segments. One target heart rate is programmed for each segment. Note: The same target heart rate may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments. If heart rate program 2 is selected, the same target heart rate is programmed for all segments.
If heart rate program 1 is select-
ed, the target heart rate setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing Current
Current Segment
Segment column of the matrix. The target heart rate settings for the next seven segments will be shown in the columns to the right. When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and the time will flash in the right display. When the first segment ends,
all target heart rate set-
tings will move one column to the left. The target heart rate setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column.
If heart rate program 2 is selected, the same target heart rate is programmed for all segments; therefore, the target heart rate settings will not be shown in the matrix. When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, a series of tones will sound and the time will flash in the right display.
As you pedal, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate, the resistance of the pedals will automatically increase or decrease to being your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.
The pace guide will help you to maintain a constant pace during the program. When one of the indicators on the left side of the pace guide lights, increase your pace; when one of the indicators on the right side lights, decrease your pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain your current pace.
Important: The pace settings of the program are intended only to provide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.
The program will continue until no time remains in the right display.
Note: During the program, you can manually change the resistance setting, if desired, by pressing the Resistance buttons. However, when the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate, the resistance may automatically change. If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will sound and the program will pause. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling.

UIDELINES
WARNING:
• Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals withpre-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.
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 recommended 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 off to the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above your age; the three numbers are your “training zone.”
The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for fat burning; the middle number is the recommended heart rate for maximum fat burning; and the highest number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible
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 or the middle number in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise 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.
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 preparation for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising 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.)
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, plan 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. The key to success is make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown below. 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
1
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
3
5
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.
