HOW TO OPERATE THE STEPPER

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

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 stepping speed can be changed with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will display continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 16).

The console also offers four preset workout programs. Each program automatically changes the stepping speed as it guides you through an effective workout.

The console also features new iFIT.com interactive technology. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a personal trainer in your home. Using the included audio cable, you can connect the stepper to your home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play special iFIT.com CD programs (iFIT.com CDs are available separately). IFIT.com CD programs automatically control the stepping speed as a personal trainer coaches you through every step of your workout. High-energy music provides added motivation. Each CD features two programs designed by certified personal trainers. For information about the availability

of iFIT.com CDs, call 1-800-735-0768.

With the stepper connected to your computer, you can also go to our website and access programs directly from the Internet. Explore www.iFIT.com for details.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE STEPPER

Hold the handlebars and step onto the pedals. Begin stepping with a smooth, continuous motion. Because the pedals move independently of each other, you must maintain a continuous motion or both pedals will sink to the floor. Change the stepping speed (see step 3 on page 6) until you can comfortably maintain a continuous motion.

As you step, you can exercise your upper leg muscles by keeping your feet flat on the pedals. To focus on your calf muscles, rise on your toes as you step. Stand erect or lean forward slightly as you exercise. Always keep your back straight to avoid injury.

Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove it before using the console.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

1. Begin stepping to activate the console.

The stepper requires no batteries or external power source. Power is supplied to the stepper by a generator while you are stepping. To acti-

vate the console, begin stepping. After a few seconds, the console displays will light. A tone will then sound and the console will be ready for use.

2. Select the manual mode.

When the power is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. If you have selected a program or the iFIT.com mode, select the manual mode by pressing the Program Select button repeatedly until a staircase appears in the matrix and the indicator above the iFIT.com button is not lit.

3. Begin stepping and change the stepping speed as desired.

While you are stepping, change the stepping speed by pressing the Slower or Faster button. When the Slower button is pressed, the resistance of the pedals will increase and your stepping speed will decrease; when the Faster button is pressed, the resistance will decrease and you will have to increase your stepping speed to prevent both pedals from sinking to the floor. The stepping speed can be decreased or increased in increments of 5 steps per minute. To change the stepping speed quickly, press one of the Steps Per Minute buttons.

Note: After the Slower, Faster, or Steps Per Minute buttons are pressed, it will take a moment for the stepper to reach the selected setting. Make sure to continue stepping while changing the stepping speed.

4. Monitor your progress with the matrix, the Training Zone bar, and the two displays.

The matrix—When

the manual mode or the iFIT.com mode is selected, the matrix will display a staircase. As you exercise, the indicators in the staircase will light, one at a time, until the entire staircase is lit. This cycle will then repeat.

The Training Zone bar—The Training

Zone bar will show the approximate intensity level of your exercise. For example, if three or four indicators in the bar are lit, the bar shows that the intensity level is ideal for fat burning.

The left display— The left display will show the elapsed time, the total number of steps you have completed, and the approximate number of vertical feet that you have stepped. The display will change from one number to the next every few seconds, as shown by the indicators around the display. Note: When a program is selected, the display will show the time remaining in the program and the time remaining in the current segment of the program instead of the elapsed time.

The right display— The right display will show your stepping speed and the approximate numbers of

fat calories

and

calories

you have burned (see BURNING FAT on page 18). The display will change from one number to the next every few seconds, as shown by the indicators around the display. The display will also show your heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor. Note: Each time the stepping speed changes, the display will show the stepping speed.

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.

Note: If you hold the handgrip pulse sensor and wear the optional chest pulse sensor at the same time, the console may not display your heart rate accurately.

If there are thin sheets of plastic on the metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, peel off the plastic. To

measure your heart rate, hold the contacts; your palms must be resting on the upper contacts, and your fingers must be touching the lower contacts. Avoid moving your hands.

When your pulse is detected, the Heart Rate indicator above the right display will begin to flash, one or two dashes (– –) will appear in the right display, and then your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds.

Note: If you continue to hold the pulse sensor, the right display will show your heart rate for up to 30 seconds. The display will then show your heart rate along with the other modes.

If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your hands are positioned as described. Be careful not to move your hands excessively or to squeeze the metal contacts too tightly. For optimal performance, clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.

6. Turn on the fan if desired.

To turn on the fan at low speed, press the Fan button. Pivot the fan to the desired angle. To turn on the fan at high speed, press the Fan button a second time. To turn off the fan, press the Fan button a third time.

7. When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off.

If the pedals are not moved for several seconds, a tone will sound, the console will pause, and the left display will begin to flash.

If the pedals are not moved for about one minute, the console will turn off, but the displays will not be reset. If the pedals are not moved for about five minutes, the console will turn off and the displays will be reset.

Note: The console features an information mode that keeps track of the total number of hours that the stepper has been used and the total number of steps that have been completed. To view this information, hold down the Program Select button for about three seconds. The left display will show the total number of hours that the stepper has been used.

Press the iFIT.com button. The left display will then show the total number of steps completed, divided by 100. For example, if the number 750 appears, 75,000 steps have been completed.

Press the Program Select button again to exit the information mode.

Contacts

HOW TO USE PRESET WORKOUT PROGRAMS

1. Begin stepping to activate the console.

See step 1 on page 10.

2. Select one of the four workout programs.

When the power is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. To select a workout program, press the Program Select button repeatedly until a “P 1,” “P 2,” “P 3,” or “P 4” appears in the right display.

When a workout program is selected, the matrix will show the first seven stepping speed settings of the program. The left display will show how long the program will last.

3. Begin stepping to start the program.

Each program is divided into several time segments of different lengths. (The left display will show the time remaining in the program and the time remaining in the current segment of the program.) One stepping speed is programmed for each segment. (The same stepping speed may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.)

The stepping speed setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing Current Segment column of the matrix. The stepping speed settings for the next several 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 stepping speed

settings will move one column to the left.

The stepping speed setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column and the stepping speed will automatically change.

Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Segment column are lit after the stepping speed settings have moved to the left,

the settings will

move downward

so that only the highest indicators

appear in the matrix.

The program will continue until the stepping speed setting for the last segment is shown in the Current Segment column of the matrix and no time remains in the program.

Note: During the program, you can override the stepping speed for the current segment, if desired, by pressing the Steps Per Minute buttons. However, when the next segment begins, the stepping speed will automatically change if a different stepping speed is programmed for the next segment. If you stop stepping for several seconds, a tone will sound, the program will pause, and the left display will begin to flash. To restart the program, simply resume stepping.

4. Monitor your progress with the two displays.

See step 4 on page 10.

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.

See step 5 on page 11.

6. Turn on the fan if desired.

See step 6 on page 11.

7. When the program is finished, the console will automatically turn off.

If the pedals are not moved for several seconds, a tone will sound, the console will pause, and the left display will begin to flash.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE

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 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.

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

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.

EXERCISE 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.

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

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.
