ate monitor shuts off when it is removed and the
r
electrode areas are dried. If the heart rate monitor is
not dried after each use, the battery may be drained
prematurely.
• Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place.
Do not store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag
or other container that may trap moisture.
• Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct sunlight for extended periods of time or to temperatures
above 122° F (50° C) or below 14° F (-10° C).
Chest Strap
Tab
Sensor Unit
Next, wrap the heart
rate monitor around
your chest and attach
the other end of the
chest strap to the sensor unit. Adjust the
length of the chest
strap, if necessary. The
heart rate monitor should be under your clothes, tight
against your skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the
logo on the sensor unit is facing forward and is rightside-up.
Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches
and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side
(the electrode areas are covered by shallow ridges).
Using saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor
unit to a position against your chest.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Dry the heart rate monitor after each use. The heart
rate monitor is activated when you wet the electrode
areas and put on the heart rate monitor; the heart

• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit
when using or storing the heart rate monitor.
• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. Hand wash
and air dry the heart rate monitor.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the heart rate monitor does not function properly, try the suggestions below.
• Make sure that you are wearing the heart rate monitor as described at the left. Note: If the heart rate
monitor does not function when positioned as
described, move it slightly lower or higher on your
chest.
• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until
you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.
• Position yourself near the console. For the console
to display heart rate readings, the user must be
within armʼs length of the console.
• The heart rate monitor is designed to work with people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate
reading problems may be caused by medical conditions such as premature ventricular contractions
(pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.
• The operation of the heart rate monitor can be
affected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that
this is a problem, try relocating the elliptical.

Resistance Dial
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable.
When you select the manual mode of the console, you
can change the resistance of the pedals with a turn of
the dial. As you exercise, the console will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure
your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or the
included heart rate monitor.
The console offers twelve preset workouts—six weight
loss workouts and six performance workouts. Each
workout automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals and prompts you to vary your pedaling speed
as it guides you through an effective workout.
In addition, the console offers eight heart rate workouts that change the resistance of the pedals and
prompt you to vary your pedaling speed to keep your
heart rate near a target heart rate.
The console also offers three watts workouts that
change the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to
vary your pedaling speed to keep your power output
near a target level.
The console features the iFit interactive workout system, which enables the console to accept iFit cards
containing workouts designed to help you achieve
specific fitness goals. For example, lose unwanted
pounds with the 8-week Weight Loss workout. iFit
workouts control the resistance of the pedals while the
voice of a personal trainer coaches you through your
workouts. iFit cards are available separately. To pur-
chase iFit cards, go to www.iFit.com or see the
front cover of this manual. iFit cards are also
available at select stores.
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 turn on the power, see page 18. To use the
manual mode, see page 18. To use a preset workout, see page 20. To use a heart rate workout, see

the Enter button to select
the workout.
The workout
time and a
profile of the
resistance
levels for the
workout will
then appear
in the display.
Then, the target speed and the maximum resistance level for the workout will also appear in the
display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into one-minute segments. One resistance level and one target speed
are programmed for each segment. Note: The
same resistance level and/or target speed may be
programmed for consecutive segments.
The workout profile will show your progress (see
the drawing above). The flashing segment of the
profile represents the current segment of the workout. The height of the flashing segment indicates
the resistance level for the current segment.
As you exercise, you
will be prompted to
keep your pedaling
speed near the target
speed for the current
segment. When an
upward arrow or the word FASTER appears in the
display, increase your speed. When a downward
arrow or the word SLOWER appears, decrease
your speed. When no arrow appears or the words
ON TARGET appear, maintain your current speed.
IMPORTANT: The target speed is intended only
to provide motivation. Your actual speed may
be slower than the target speed. Make sure to
pedal at a speed 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 turning the resistance dial. IMPOR-
TANT: When the current segment of the
workout ends, the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance level for the next segment.
The workout will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. To stop the workout at any time,
stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will

To select a heart rate workout, first press the Heart
Rate Workouts button.
Next, turn the resistance dial until the number of
the desired workout appears in the display. Then,
press the Enter button to select the workout.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting.
A few seconds after you
select a heart
rate workout,
the workout
time and the
words ENTER
TARGET will
appear in the
display.
Each heart rate workout is divided into one-minute
egments. One target heart rate is programmed
s
for each segment. Note: The same target heart
ate may be programmed for consecutive seg-
r
ments.
During the workout, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate for the
current segment of the workout. 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 bring your heart rate closer to the
target heart rate. Each time the resistance
changes, the resistance level will appear in the
display for a few seconds to alert you.
As you exercise, you
will be prompted to
pedal at a steady
speed. When an
upward arrow or the
word FASTER appears
in the display, increase your speed. When a downward arrow or the word SLOWER appears,
decrease your speed. When no arrow appears or
the words ON TARGET appear, maintain your current speed.
A different target heart rate setting will be programmed for each segment of the heart rate
workout. Turn the resistance dial to enter the
desired maximum target heart rate for the workout (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 26).
Then, press the Enter button.
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the
included heart rate monitor.
To use a heart rate workout, you must wear the
included heart rate monitor or hold the handgrip
pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 19).
If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor
continuously during a heart rate workout; however,
you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor frequently for the workout to operate properly. Each
time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, keep
your hands on the metal contacts for at least
15 seconds.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to pedal at a speed
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 turning
the resistance dial; however, if you change the
resistance level, you might not maintain the target
heart rate.
Also, when the console compares your heart rate
to the target heart rate, the resistance of the pedals may automatically increase or decrease to
bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.
The workout will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. To stop the workout at any time,
stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will
begin to flash in the display. To restart the workout,
simply resume pedaling.
6. Follow your progress with the displays.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING: B
or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons
over age 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.
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.
efore beginning this
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-
cise 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.
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 and aerobic exercise.
To find the proper intensity level, 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.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Warming 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.
Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of
stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your
muscles and helps 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.

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, 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
