HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

EXERCISING ON THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handgrip pulse sensor 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. Note: The pedal disks can turn in either

direction. It is recommended that you turn the pedal disks in the direction shown by the arrow below; however, to give variety to your exercise, you may turn the pedal disks in the opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the pedals come to a complete stop. The elliptical

crosstrainer does not have a free wheel; the pedals will continue to move until the flywheel stops.

When the pedals are stationary, step off the highest pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS

The motion of the pedals is determined by their position on the spring arms. Their are five different pedal positions. To adjust the pedals, first loosen the knob beneath each

pedal. Slide the pedals forward or backward to the desired position, and then retighten the knobs. Make sure that both pedals are in the same position.

INCLINE ADJUSTMENT

To further adjust the intensity of your exercise, the incline frame can be raised or lowered. To raise the incline frame, position the spring arms side by side. Lift the end of the incline frame until the crossbar is on top of the incline bracket. Make sure that the

crossbar is resting securely on top of the incline bracket. To lower the incline frame, lift the incline

frame slightly, push the incline bracket toward the upright, and then lower the incline frame onto the stabilizer.

HOW TO USE THE UPPER BODY ARMS

The upper body arms are designed to add upper-body exercise to your workouts. As you exercise, push and pull the upper body arms in order to work your arms, back, and shoulders. To exercise only your lower body, hold the handgrip pulse sensor as you exercise.

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 crosstrainer 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. (For information about an optional chest pulse sensor, refer to page 20.)

The console also offers four preset workout programs. Each program automatically changes the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer 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 workout programs that automatically change the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer and prompt you to vary your pace to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate as you exercise.

The console also features new iFIT.com interactive technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a personal trainer right in your home. Using the included audio cable, you can connect the elliptical crosstrainer

to your home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play special iFIT.com CD programs (CDs are available separately). IFIT.com CD programs automatically control the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer and prompt you to vary your pace as a personal trainer coaches you through every step of your workout. Highenergy music provides added motivation. Each CD features two programs designed by certified personal trainers.

In addition, you can connect the elliptical crosstrainer to your VCR and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (videocassettes are available separately). Video programs offer the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, but add the excitement of working out with a class and an instructor.

With the elliptical crosstrainer connected to your computer, you can also go to our new Web site at www.iFIT.com and access audio programs and video programs directly from the internet.

For information about the availability of iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, please send an e-mail to ellipticalworkouts@iFIT.com, and we’ll notify you as soon as iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are available. Or, call toll-free 1-800-884-0620.

CONSOLE DIAGRAM

CONSOLE DESCRIPTION

Refer to the drawing on page 10.

A. Exercise feedback display—This display features

seven modes that give you instant exercise feedback: your current speed, the elapsed time (or the time remaining in a preset program or a heart rate program), the distance that you have pedaled, the resistance level, the approximate number of calories you have burned, your power output in watts, and your heart rate (when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor [refer to page 20 for information about the chest pulse sensor]). If the scan mode is selected, the display will change from one mode to the next every six seconds. Or, you can select a single mode for continuous display.

Note: The console can show speed and distance in either miles or kilometers. To change the unit of measurement, refer to step 4 on page 12.

B. Feedback mode indicators—These indicators show

which feedback mode (scan, speed, time, resistance level, calories, distance, watts, or heart rate) is currently displayed. Note: When the distance is shown, the word Miles or the letters Kms will appear; when your speed is shown, the letters MPH or Km/H will appear.

C. Increase and decrease arrows—During preset pro-

grams, heart rate programs, and iFIT.com programs, these arrows will prompt you to increase or decrease your pace to match the target pace.

D. Manual mode/program indicator—When a preset

program is selected, the upper right corner of the display will show a 1, 2, 3, or 4, depending on which preset program is selected. When a heart rate program is selected, the upper right corner of the display will show a 5 or 6. When the iFIT.com mode is selected, the upper right corner will show the letters IF. When the manual mode is selected, the upper right corner will be blank.

selected, only the left bar graph will appear. This bar graph represents your exercise pace. As you increase or decrease your pace, additional bars will appear or disappear in the bar graph. W hen a preset program, a heart rate program, or the iFIT.com mode is selected, both bar graphs will appear. The left bar graph will represent your exercise pace, and the right bar graph will represent a target pace. During the program, the target pace will periodically

change. As the right bar graph changes, simply adjust your pace so that the same number of bars appear in both bar graphs. Important: The target

pace is a

goal

pace. Your actual pace may be slower than the target pace, especially during the first few months of your exercise program. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

F. Training zone display—As you exercise, the training

zone display will show the approximate intensity level of your exercise.

G.Program profiles—These profiles show how the

resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer and the target pace will change during preset programs and heart rate programs. For example, profile number 4 shows that during preset program 4, both the resistance and the pace will gradually increase during the first half of the program, and then gradually decrease during the last half.

H. IFIT.com button—This button is used to select the

iFIT.com mode. The indicator beside the button will light when the iFIT.com mode is selected.

I. Select Program button—This button is used to

select the manual mode, preset programs, and heart rate programs.

Each time the console is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. If a preset program, a heart rate program, or the iFIT.com mode has been selected, select the manual mode by pressing the Select Program button repeatedly until the upper right corner of the display is blank.

Begin exercising and adjust the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer.

As you exercise, adjust the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer as desired by pressing the Resistance buttons. There are ten resistance levels; level 10 is the most challenging. Note: After the buttons are pressed, it will take a few seconds for the selected setting to be reached.

Follow your progress with the feedback modes, the left bar graph, and the training zone display.

As you exercise, the display will show your current speed, the elapsed time, the current resistance level, the approximate number of calories you have burned, the distance that you have pedaled, and your power output in watts. In addition, your heart rate will be shown when you use the handgrip pulse sensor (refer to step 5 at the right) or the optional chest pulse sensor (refer to page 20). Note: Each time the resistance level changes, the console will show the resistance level for six seconds. When a preset program or a heart rate pro-

gram is selected, the display will show the

time

remaining

in the program instead of the elapsed

time. In addition, the left bar graph will appear in the dis-

play to show your exercise pace. As you increase or decrease your pace, additional bars will appear or disappear in the bar graph.

If desired, you can select a single feedback mode for continuous display. Press the Display button repeatedly until only the MPH (or Km/H), Time, Resist., Cals., Miles (or Kms), or Watts indicator appears in the display. Make sure that the Scan indicator does not appear.

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

Note: The console can show speed and distance in either miles or kilometers. To change the unit of measurement, first hold down the Start Program button for three seconds. An E (for English miles) or an M (for metric kilometers) will appear in the display. To change the unit of measurement, press the + button. Then, press the Start Program button again. When the batteries are replaced, it may be necessary to reselect the desired unit of measurement.

Measure your heart rate if desired.

Note: If you wear the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 20) and hold the handgrip 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

use the handgrip pulse sensor, place your hands on the metal contacts. Your palms must be on the upper contacts and your

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

This corner

Metal

Contacts

fingers must be touching the lower contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is detected, the heart-shaped indicator in the display will flash each time your heart beats. After a moment, two dashes (– –) will appear and then your heart rate will be shown.

For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the handgrips for about 15 seconds. Note: When you first hold the handgrips, the display will show your heart rate continuously for 15 seconds. The display will then show your heart rate along with the other feedback modes.

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

If the pedals are not moved and the console buttons are not pressed for a few minutes, the con-

sole will automatically turn off to conserve the batteries.

Turn on the console.

Refer to step 1 on page 12.

Select one of the four preset programs.

Each time the console is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. To select a preset program, press the Select Program button repeatedly until the number 1, 2, 3, or 4 appears in the upper right corner of the display.

The profiles numbered 1 through 4 on the left side of the console show the resistance and pace settings for the preset programs. For example, profile number 4 shows that when preset program 4 is selected, both the resistance and the pace will gradually increase during the first half of the program, and then decrease during the last half.

Start the program.

To start the program, press the Start Program button or simply begin exercising. Each preset

program consists of twenty, one-minute periods. One resistance setting and one pace setting are programmed for each period. (The same resistance setting and/or pace setting may be programmed for consecutive periods.)

During the program, the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer will automatically change as shown by the applicable profile on the console. If the current resistance level is too high or too low, you can change the resistance level by pressing the Resistance buttons. However, when the current period of the program is completed, the resistance level will automatically change if a different resistance setting is programmed for the next period.

The pace settings for the program will be shown by the right bar graph in the display. (The left bar graph will show your actual exercise pace.) As the right bar graph changes during the program, simply increase or decrease your pace so that the same number of bars appear in both bar graphs. If your pace is slower than the current pace setting, the increase arrow will also appear in the display to prompt you to increase your pace; if your pace is faster than the pace setting, the decrease arrow will appear.

Important: The pace settings for the program are intended only to provide a goal. Your actual pace may be slower than the pace settings, especially during the first few months of your exercise program. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

During the program, the display will show the time remaining in the program. When no time remains, the program will be completed. If you continue to exercise after the program is completed, the display will continue to show your exercise feedback.

Follow your progress with the feedback modes.

Refer to step 4 on page 12.

Measure your heart rate if desired.

See step 5 on page 12.

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

Refer to step 6 above.

HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM

Increase Arrow

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 25 years old, your maximum heart rate is 195.) Heart rate program 5 is designed to keep your heart rate between 50% and 85% of your maximum heart rate while you exercise; heart rate program 6 is designed to keep your heart rate between 50% and 80% of your maximum heart rate.

Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.

Turn on the console.

Refer to step 1 on page 12.

Select one of the two heart rate programs.

Each time the console is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. To select a heart rate program, press the Select Program button repeatedly until the number 5 or 6 appears in the upper right corner of the display.

The profiles numbered 5 and 6 on the right side of the console show the resistance settings for the heart rate programs. For example, profile number 5 shows that when heart rate program 5 is selected, the resistance level will gradually increase during the program and then decrease near the end.

Enter your age.

When a heart rate program is selected, the word AGE and the current age setting will flash in the display. You must enter your age to use a heart rate program. If you have already entered your age, press the Enter button and go to step 4. If you have not entered your age, press the + or – button. The current age setting will then flash. Press the + or – button repeatedly to enter your age. When your age is shown, press the Enter button. Once you have entered your age, your age will be saved in memory until the batteries are replaced.

Hold the handgrip pulse sensor

When using a heart rate program, you must use the handgrip pulse sensor (refer to step 5 on page 12) or the optional chest pulse sensor (refer to page 20). If you use the 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. Each time you hold the hand-

grips, 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 display instead of your heart rate.

Start the program.

To start the program, press the Start Program button or simply begin exercising. Each heart rate program consists of twenty, one-minute periods. One resistance setting and one heart rate setting are programmed for each period. (The same resistance setting and/or heart rate setting may be programmed for consecutive periods.)

During the program, the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer will automatically change as shown by the applicable profile on the console. If the current resistance level is too high or too low, you can adjust the resistance level by pressing the Resistance buttons. However, when the current period of the program is completed, the resistance level will automatically change if a different resistance setting is programmed for the next period.

As you exercise, the bar graphs will help you to keep your heart rate near the heart rate setting for the current period. The right bar graph will show a target pace. (The left bar graph will show your actual exercise pace.) When you hold the handgrip pulse sensor (or wear the optional chest pulse sensor), the console will compare your heart rate to the heart rate setting for the current period; if necessary, the right bar graph will then change to prompt you to increase or decrease your pace to bring your heart rate closer to the current heart rate setting. When the

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM

right bar graph changes, increase or decrease your pace so that the same number of bars appear in both bar graphs.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

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 find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age on the bottom line 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. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body

uses easily accessible

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 as you 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.

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. After a few months of regular exercise, 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.

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.

Note: # indicates a non-illustrated part. Specifications are subject to change without notice. See the back cover of this manual for information about ordering replacement parts.
