FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers an array of features designed to make your workouts more effective and enjoyable. When the manual mode of the console is selected, 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 monitor your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.

The console also offers a selection of preset programs.

The two calorie goal programs allow you to choose a calorie-burning goal for your workout. As you exercise, the console will count the calories that you burn until the goal is reached.

The two pulse control programs automatically control the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to increase or decrease your pedaling pace to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate setting during your workout.

The distance program counts the number of revolutions that you pedal during your workout, until you have completed 5,000 revolutions.

The three resistance & rpm programs automatically change the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to vary your pedaling pace as they guide you through an effective workout.

The console also features iFIT.com interactive technology. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a personal trainer in your home. Using a stereo audio cable

(available at electronics stores), you can connect the elliptical exerciser to your portable stereo, home stereo, computer, or VCR and play special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are available separately). iFIT.com 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 toll-free 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.

Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor continuously during a pulse control program; however, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor frequently for the program 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.

Pulse control program 3 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 two or more consecutive segments.

The target heart rate setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing

Current Segment

Current Segment column in the center of the display. The target heart rate settings for the next four 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

all target heart rate settings 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.

Pulse control program 4 is divided into 40 oneminute segments. The same target heart rate setting is programmed for all segments. Note: For a shorter workout, stop exercising or select a different program before the program ends.

During both pulse control programs, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting. 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.

After the first minute of the program, the Pace

Coach will prompt you to maintain a consistent pedaling pace. When one of the “Too Slow” arrows lights, increase your pace. When the one of the “Too Fast” arrows lights, decrease your pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain your current pace.

Important: The target heart rate settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actual heart rate may be slower than the target heart rate settings. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

Note: During the program, you can manually override the resistance setting for the current segment, if desired, by pressing the increase and decrease 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.

If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will sound and the program will pause. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling.

Current Segment

Segment column in the center of the display. (Note: The pace settings are not shown in the display.) The resistance settings for the next four segments will be shown in the columns to the right.

As you exercise, the Pace Coach will help you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace setting for the current segment. When one of the “Too Slow” arrows lights, increase your pace. When the one of the “Too Fast” arrows lights, decrease your pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain your current pace.

17

Important: The pace settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actual pace may be slower than the pace settings. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

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

all resistance set-

tings will 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 change to the resistance setting for the second segment. Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Segment column are lit after the resistance settings have moved to the left,

the resistance settings may

move downward so only the highest indicators appear in the matrix.

The program will continue until the resistance setting for the last segment is shown in the

Current Segment column and the last segment ends.

Note: During the program, you can override the resistance setting for the current segment, if desired, by pressing the increase or decrease button. However, when the next segment begins, the resistance will 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.

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.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If the console displays become dim, the batteries should be replaced; most console problems are the result of low batteries. See assembly step 7 on page

7 for replacement instructions.

HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

If the elliptical exerciser 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.

HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

• Avoid moving your hands while using the handgrip pulse sensor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart rate readings.

• Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so may interfere with heart rate readings.

• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the metal contacts for about 30 seconds.

• For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse sensor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alco-

hol, abrasives, or chemicals.

HOW TO ELIMINATE FLEXING IN THE CENTER OF

THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

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

CONDITIONING 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 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 lower two numbers are recommended heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the recommended 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 in your training zone as you exercise.

For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near 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 as you exercise.

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. Note: 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, 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. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
