FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers an array of features designed to make your workouts more effective and enjoyable.

When you use the manual mode of the console, you can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch of a button.

While you exercise, the console will display continuous exercise feedback. You can also measure your heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor or the included chest heart rate monitor.

The console offers thirty-two onboard workouts—— sixteen calorie workouts and sixteen performance workouts. Each workout automatically changes the resistance of the pedals as it guides you through an effective workout. You can also set a customized workout goal with the set-a-goal workout.

The console also features an iFit mode that enables the console to communicate with your wireless network through an iFit module. With the iFit mode, you can download personalized workouts, create your own workouts, track your workout results, race against other iFit users, and access many other features.

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

To use the manual mode, see page 19. To use

the sound system, see page 20. To use an

onboard workout, see page 21. To use a set-

a-goal workout, see page 22. To use an iFit

workout, see page 23. To change console

settings, see page 25.
