The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle out-

let box covers are not grounded. Contact a quali fied electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is grounded before using an adapter.

Note: When the power cord is plugged in, the elliptical exerciser’s incline system may automatically calibrate itself. During the calibration process, two dashes (– –) will appear in the left display of the console and the ramp will move to the highest position and then return to the lowest position. The calibration process will last for one to two minutes.

EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebars and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest position. Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the pedals until they begin to move with a continuous motion.

DANGER: Improper connection of

the equipment-grounding conductor can result in an increased risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product—if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

A temporary adapter may be used to connect the power cord to a 2-pole receptacle as shown at the right if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

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 resistance of the elliptical exerciser and the angle of the ramp can be changed with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor. Note:

For information about an optional chest pulse sensor, see page 21.

The console also offers six resistance and pace programs. Each program automatically changes the resistance of the elliptical exerciser and prompts you to increase or decrease your pace as it guides you through an effective workout.

In addition, the console features two heart rate programs that automatically change the resistance of the elliptical exerciser and prompt you to vary your pace to keep your heart rate near a target level as you exercise.

The console also features 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 elliptical exerciser to your home stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and play special iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are available separately). iFIT.com CD and video programs automatically control the resistance of the elliptical exerciser and prompt you to vary your pace as a personal trainer coaches you through every step of your workout. High-energy music provides added motivation.

If an indicator to the left of any lit indicator is flashing (see drawing b), decrease your pace. When no indicator is flashing, your pace matches the pace setting for the current segment. Important: The

pace settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actual pace may be slower than the current pace setting. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

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 pace settings will move one column to the left. The pace setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column and the resistance of the elliptical exerciser will automatically change to the resistance setting for the second segment.

Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Segment column are lit after the pace settings have moved to the left, the pace settings will move downward so only the highest indicators appear in the matrix.

The program will continue until the pace 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 resistance setting for the current segment, if desired, by pressing the Resistance buttons.

HOW T

Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart rate near a certain percentage of your maximum heart rate during your workout. (Your maximum heart rate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your maximum heart rate is 190.) Heart rate program 1 is designed to keep your heart rate between 50% and 80% of your maximum heart rate while you exercise; heart rate program 2 is designed to keep your heart rate between 50% and 85% of your maximum heart rate.

Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

WARNING:

Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is espe cially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible gy. 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 as you exercise.

carbohydrate calories for ener-

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.

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. A proper 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. The three numbers are your “training 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.

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.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

After a few months of regular exer-
