FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The revolutionary 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
pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor. Note:
For information about the optional chest pulse
sensor, see page 23.
The console features ten smart programs. Each program automatically changes the resistance of the pedals and prompts you to vary your pedaling pace as it
guides you through an effective workout.
The console also offers two heart rate programs that
automatically control the resistance of the pedals and
prompt you to maintain a constant pedaling pace to
keep your heart rate near target heart rate settings during your workouts.
In addition, the console features two motivational interactive games. Using the dual game controllers, play
the challenging Fat Blocker™ game or the fast-paced
Calorie Destroyer™ game during your workouts—the
harder you exercise, the greater the advantage you will
have! The console keeps track of the four highest
scores for each game—compete with other users or try
to top your own high score.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 15. To use a smart program,
see page 17. To use a heart rate program, see page
18. To play the Fat Blocker game, see page 20. To

resistance level and the target rpm for the second
segment will appear in the center of the display for
a few seconds to alert you. The next segment of
the profile will begin to flash, and the pedals will
automatically adjust to the resistance level for the
next segment.
As you exercise,
you will be prompted to keep your
pedaling pace near
the target rpm setting for the current
segment. When an
upward arrow appears in the display, increase
your pace. When a downward arrow appears in
the display, decrease your pace. When no arrow
appears, maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: The target rpm settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your actual pace may be slower than the target rpm settings. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the Quick Resistance buttons.
IMPORTANT: When the current segment of the
program ends, the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance level for the next segment.
The program will continue in this way until the last

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the console to turn on the console.
A moment after you turn on the console, the display will light.
2. Select a heart rate program.
To select one of the two heart rate programs,
press the Heart Rate Control Programs button
repeatedly until the words HEART RATE 1 or
HEART RATE 2 appear in the display. The program time and a profile of the target heart rate settings for the program will also appear in the display.
3.
Enter a target heart rate setting.
When you select a
heart rate program,
the maximum target heart rate setting will flash in the
center of the display. If desired,
use the increase
and decrease buttons to change the maximum target heart rate setting, and then press the Enter
button. Note: If you change the maximum target
heart rate setting, the intensity level of the entire
program will change.
4. 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 (see page 23 for information about
the optional chest pulse sensor). Note: If you hold
the handgrip pulse sensor and wear the chest
pulse sensor at the same time, the console will not
display your heart rate accurately.
If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor continuously during a heart rate 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.
Each heart rate program is divided into either 20 or
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 two or more consecutive segments.
The target heart rate setting for the first segment
will be indicated by the height of the flashing segment of the profile in the display. When the first
segment of the program ends, the next segment of
the profile will begin to flash. The target heart rate
setting for the next segment will then be indicated
by the height of the flashing segment of the profile.
19
As you pedal, 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.
You will also be
prompted to pedal
at a steady pace.
When an upward
arrow appears in
the display,
increase your
pace. When a downward arrow appears in the display, decrease your pace. When no arrow appears
in the display, maintain your current pace. IMPOR-
TANT: Make sure to pedal at a pace that is
comfortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the Quick Resistance buttons;
however, you might not maintain the target heart
rate. Also, 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.
The program will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. To stop the program at any time,
stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will
begin to flash in the display. To restart the program,
simply resume pedaling. To reset the program,
press the Start/Reset button.
6. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 15.
7.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 16.
8.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 16.
9.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 7 on page 16.

HOW TO PLAY THE FAT BLOCKER GAME
The Fat Blocker game requires quick thinking and fast
reflexes. In addition to the console buttons, you will
use the four-button game controllers on the handlebar
to play the game. Follow the steps below to play the
Fat Blocker game.
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the console to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a button, the display will light.
2. Select the Fat Blocker game.
To select the Fat Blocker game, press the Fat
Blocker button. The words FAT BLOCKER will
appear at the top of the display.
3. Pedal to start the game.
When you start the Fat Blocker game, a game
arena will appear in the center of the display.
A block composed
of four or five black
squares will slowly
move downward
until it reaches the
bottom of the
arena. Another
block will then move downward. There are blocks
of eight different shapes. As each block falls, you
can move it to the left or right using the left and
right buttons on the left controller. In addition, you
can rotate the block counterclockwise or clockwise
using the left and right buttons on the right controller. Once you have positioned and oriented a
block, you can speed its motion to the bottom of
the arena, if desired, by pressing the down button
on either controller.
Your goal is to maneuver the blocks so that they
form a complete row of black squares across the
entire arena. Each time you complete a row of
black squares, the row will disappear, and all
blocks above will move downward one row.
As you play, the blocks will fall faster and faster;
however, your pedaling pace will affect the speed
of the blocks—the faster you pedal, the more
slowly the blocks will fall, giving you extra time to
position and orient the blocks. The game will continue until any part of a stacked block reaches the
top of the arena.

HOW TO PLAY THE CALORIE DESTROYER GAME
The Calorie Destroyer game is a fast-paced game that
pits you against a squadron of laser-firing drones. In
addition to the console buttons, you will use the fourbutton game controllers on the handlebar to play the
game. Follow the steps below to play the Calorie
Destroyer game.
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the console to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a button, the display will light.
2. Select the Calorie Destroyer game.
To select the Calorie Destroyer game, press the
Calorie Destroyer button. The word DESTROYER
will appear at the top of the display.
3. Pedal to start the game.
When you start the Calorie Destroyer game, a
game arena will appear in the display. Three rows
of drones will begin to move across the top of the
arena, periodically firing their lasers downward.
Each time the drones reach the left or right side of
the arena, they will reverse direction and move
downward.
At the bottom of the arena is a laser blaster. You
can fire the laser blaster at the drones by pressing
the up button on either controller. In addition, while
you are pedaling, you can move the laser blaster
to the left or right using the left and right buttons
on either controller. The faster you pedal, the
faster the laser blaster will move.
Between the drones and the laser blaster are five
shields. You can hide the laser blaster below a
shield if desired. However, each time a shield is hit
by a laser, a piece will be vaporized.
Your goal is to keep the laser blaster from being
hit and to keep any drone from reaching the bottom of the arena. If the laser blaster is hit, it will be
disabled and another laser blaster will appear in its
place; there are a total of four laser blasters. If you
vaporize the entire squadron of drones, a new
squadron will appear.
As you play, the drones will move faster and
faster. The game will continue until all four laser
blasters are disabled or a drone reaches the bottom of the arena.
When the game ends, the display will show the
level of play that you reached and your final score.
The display will then show the four highest scores
recorded since the scores were reset. If desired,
press and hold down the right button on either
controller to reset the scores. Note: If your score is
one of the four highest, the display will prompt you
to enter a name consisting of three letters or digits. While the line below the first letter is flashing,
press the up and down buttons on either controller
to select the desired letter or digit. Next, press the
right button on either controller and select another
letter or digit. Repeat this process to select a third
letter or digit. Then, press the right button on either
controller again. The display will then show the
four highest scores recorded since the scores
were reset.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
While you exercise and play the Calorie Destroyer
game, the upper left corner of the display will show
the elapsed time. In addition, the display will show
the game level that you have reached and your
current score.
To pause the game, press the Display button. To
resume the game, press the Display button repeatedly until the word DESTROYER appears at the
top of the display, and then begin pedaling. To
reset the game, press the Start/Reset button.
5.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 7 on page 16.

THE OPTIONAL CHEST PULSE SENSOR
The optional chest pulse sensor provides hands-free
operation and continuously monitors your heart rate
during your workouts. To purchase the optional
chest pulse sensor, call the telephone number on
the front cover of this manual.
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 7 on page 8
for replacement instructions.
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
until the flexing is
eliminated.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor
during use, see HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER on page 12.
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 alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
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 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, maximum fat burning, and aerobic
exercise.
To find the proper intensity level, first 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.
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.
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
Warm-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 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.
Cool-down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
Stretching increases 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. Remember, the key to success is to
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.
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.
25
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, backs 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
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
Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.
Pull your feet toward your groin as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip
muscles.
