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 exercise cycle can be
changed with a 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 exercise cycle 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
exercise cycle and prompt you to vary your pace to
keep your heart rate near a target heart rate 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 exercise cycle 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 au toma tica lly control
the resistance of the exercise cycle 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.
CDs and videocassettes, call the toll-free telephone number on the front cover of this manual.
With the exercise cycle connected to your computer,
you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and
access programs directly from the internet. Explore
www.iFIT.com for more information.

Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart
rate near a certain
rate
during your workout. (Your maximum heart ra te i s
stimated by subtracting your age from 220. For
e
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.

T
handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 13)
r the optional chest pulse sensor. If you use the
o
handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold
the handgrips continuously during the program.
However, you should hold the handgrips frequently for the program to operate properly.
time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands
on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.
Note: When you are not holding the handgrips,
the letters “PLS” will appear in the right display
instead of your heart rate.
Press the Program Start button or begin
5
pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program consists of 20 oneminute segments. One resistance setting and
one heart rate setting are programmed for each
segment. (The same resistance setting and/or
heart rate setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.)
Each
odically compare
your heart rate to
he heart rate set-
t
ting for the current
egment; if neces-
s
sary, an indicator
in the bar will then
flash to prompt you
to increase or
decrease your
pace to bring your
heart rate closer to
the current heart
rate setting. If an indicator to the
indicators is flashing (see drawing a), increase
your pace. If an indicator to the
cator is flashing (see drawing b), decrease your
pace. When no indicator is flashing, your heart
rate is near the current heart rate setting.
Important: The heart rate settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actual
heart rate may be slower than the current
heart rate setting. Make sure to exercise at a
pace that is comfortable for you.

WARNING:
• Before beginning this or any exercise proram, consult your physician. This i s es p e-
g
cially important for individuals over the
age of 35 orindividualswithpre-existing
healthproblems.
• 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.
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
uring the first few minutes of exercise, your body

gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored
your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number or 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.
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
at 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 lowest number is the recommended heart rate for
fat burning; the middle number is the recommended
heart rate for maximum fat burning; and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
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
