IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
tions before using the elliptical exerciser.
1. Read all instructions in this manual and all
warnings on the elliptical exerciser before
using the elliptical exerciser. Use the elliptical exercise r only as described.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the elliptical exerciser are
adequately informed of all precautions.
3. The elliptical exerciser is intended for
in-home use only. Do not use the elliptical
exerciser in a commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
4. Place the elliptical exerciser on a level surface, with a mat beneath it to protect the
floor or carpet. Keep the elliptical exerciser
indoors, away from moisture and dust. Make
sure that there is enough clearance around
the elliptical exerciser to mount, dismount,
and use it.
5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
6. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the elliptical exerciser at all times.
7. The elliptical exerciser should not be used
by persons weighing more than 350 pounds.
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-
8. Always hold the handlebars or the handgrip
pulse sensor when mounting, dismounting,
or using the elliptical exerciser.
9. Wear appropriate exercise clothes and
athletic shoes while using the elliptical
exerciser.
10. Keep your back straight when using the elliptical exerciser; do not arch your back.
11. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising, stop immediately and cool down.
12. The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user's movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only
as an exerci se aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.
When you stop exercising, allow the pedals
13.
to slowly come to a complete stop. The elliptical exerciser does not have a free wheel;
the pedals will continue to move until the
flywheel stops.
14. Always unplug the power cord immediately
after use and before cleaning the elliptical
exerciser.
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. Read all instructions before using. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or
property damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

calibrate itself. During the calibration process, two
dashes (– –) will appear in the Ramp display while
the ramp rises to the highest position and then
moves down to the lowest position. The calibra
tion process may last for one to two minutes. If
the incline system does not calibrate itself, see

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 and the angle of
the ramp can be changed with the touch of a button.
As you pedal, the console will provide continuous
exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart
rate using the built-in handgrip pulse sensor.
The console also features a calorie goal program that

Each heart rate program 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

the matrix. The target heart rate settings for the next
twelve segments
will be shown in the
columns to the

WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise pro-

or persons with pre-existing health problems.

The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors, including the user's movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only
as an exerci se 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.
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. Aproper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to
the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers
above your age.
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.
The three numbers are your “training
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.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES
he correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.
T
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
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 area as far as possible. Hold for
15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and
hip muscles.
