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 hand- grip pulse sensor. Note: For information about an optional chest pulse sensor, see page 19.

The console also offers six resistance and pace pro- grams. Each program automatically changes the resis- tance 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 pro- grams 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 new iFF.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, or computer and play special iFIT.com CD programs (CD's are available sep- arately). IFIT corn CD programs automatically 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. Each CD features two pro- grams designed by certified personal trainers.

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

instructor.

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.iFF com for details.

HOWTO USE RESISTANCE AND PACE

PROGRAMS

Begin pedaling to activate the console.

See step 1 on page 10.

Select one of the six resistance and pace programs.

When the power is turned on, the _ SPEED_ HEARTRATE manual mode will

be selected. To select a resistance

and pace program, press the Program Select button repeatedly until a "P 1," "P 2," "P 3," "P 4," "P 5," or "P 6" appears in the right display.

When a resistance and pace program is selected, the matrix will show the first seven pace settings

for the program. The left display will show how

long the program will last.

Press the Program Start button or begin pedaling to start the program.

Each program is divided into several time seg- ments of different lengths. One pace setting and one resistance setting are programmed for each segment. (The same pace setting and/or resis- tance setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.)

The pace setting

for the first seg-

ment will be shown in the flash-

ing Current Segment column of the matrix. (The resistance settings

Current Segment

.......

are not shown in the matrix.) The pace settings

for the next several segments will be shown in the

columns to the right.

As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help

you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace setting for the current segment. The lit indicators in the bar will show your actual pace. If an indica-

tot to the right of the lit indicators is

flashing (see draw-

ing a), increase your pace. If an indicator to the left

of any lit indicator is flashing (see

drawing b), _cE decrease your

pace. When no indicator is flash-

ing, your pace matches the pace setting for the current segment.

important: The pace settings are intended onJy to provide motivation. Your actual pace

may be slower than the current pace setting. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is corn=

fortable for you.

When only three seconds remain in the first seg= ment of the program, both the Current Segment

column and the column to the right wilJ flash, a series of tones wilJ sound, and alJ pace settings

will move one column to the left. The pace setting

for the second segment wilJ then be shown in the

flashing Current Segment column and the resis=

tance of the exercise cycle wilJ 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 wilJ move downward so that 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, with the Resistance buttons. However,

when the next segment begins, the resistance

may automatically change to the resistance set- ting for the next segment. If you stop pedaling for

several seconds, a tone will sound and the pro- gram will pause. To restart the program, simply

resume pedaling.

Monitor your progress with the two displays.

See step 4 on page 10.

Measure your heart rate if desired.

See step 5 on page 11.

Turn on the fan if desired.

See step 6 on page 11.

When the program is finished, the console

will automatically turn off.

See step 7 on page 11.

HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS

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 maxi= mum heart rate while you exercise; heart rate pro- gram 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.

Begin pedaling to activate the console.

See step 1 on page 10.

Select one of the heart rate programs.

When the power is turned on, the man-

ual mode will be selected. To select

a heart rate pro- gram, press the Program Select button repeatedly until an "H 1" or "H 2" appears in the right display.

Enter your age.

When a heart rate program is select-

ed, the word "AGE" and the current

age setting will flash in the left dis-

play. You must

enter your age to use a heart rate program, if you have already entered your age, press the Age Set Enter button and go to step 4. if you have not entered your age, press the + or = but- ton repeatedly to enter your age, and then press the Age Set Enter button.

Once you have entered your age, it will be saved in memory.

Page 14

Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

To use a heart rate program, you must use the handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 11) or

the optional chest pulse sensor, if you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold

the handgdps continuously during the program. However, you should hold the handgrips fre-

quently for the program to operate properly. Each 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 pedaling to start the program.

Each heart rate program consists of 20 one- minute 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.)

The resistance setting for the first Current Segment segment will be

shown in the flash- ing Current Segment column

of the matrix. The resistance settings

for the next several segments will be shown in the

columns to the right.

When only three seconds remain in the first seg- ment, both the Current Segment column and the

column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and all resistance settings will move one

column to the left. The resistance setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flash-

ing Current Segment column and the resistance of the exercise cycle will automatically adjust to

the resistance setting for the second segment.

As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help

you to keep your heart rate near the heart rate setting for the current segment. The lit indicators

in the bar will show your actual pace. When you hold the handgrip pulse sensor (or wear the

optional chest pulse sensor), the console will periodically compare your heart rate to the heart

rate setting for the current segment; if

necessary, an indi- 4cE cator in the bar will

then flash to prompt you to

increase or decrease your

pace to bring your _cE heart rate closer to

the current heart rate setting. If an

indicator to the right of the lit indicators is flashing (see drawing

a), increase your pace. If an indicator to the left of any lit indicator is flashing (see drawing b),

decrease your pace. When no indicator is flash- ing, 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 cur- rent heart rate setting. Make sure to exercise

at a pace that is comfortable for you.

The program will continue until the resistance set- ting 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 manually over- ride the resistance setting for the current seg-

ment, if desired, with the Resistance buttons. However, when the next segment begins, the

exercise cycle will automatically adjust to the resistance setting for the next segment. If you

stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will sound and the program will pause. To restart the

program, simply resume pedaling.

Monitor your progress with the two displays.

See step 4 on page 10.

Turn on the fan if desired.

See step 6 on page 11.

When the program is finished, the console

witl automat{caHy turn off.

See step 7 on page 11.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

inspect and properly tighten all parts of the exercise cycle regularly. To clean the exercise cycle, use a soft, damp cloth. To prevent damage to the console, keep liquids away from the console and keep the con- sole out of direct sunlight.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

if the console does not display correct feedback, the reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed switch, the Right Side Shield (27) must be removed. Using an adjustable wrench, turn the Right Pedal (21) counterclockwise and remove it. Next, remove the M4 x 25ram Screws (65). Turn the Right Crank Arm (24) so that it is pointing toward the front of the exercise cycle and then slide off the Right Side Shield.

/ 65

Next, locate the Reed Switch (46). Turn the Right Crank Arm (24) until the Magnet (30) is aligned with

the Reed Switch. Loosen, but do not remove, the indi- cated Screw (57). Slide the Reed Switch slightly clos-

er to or away from the Magnet. Then, retighten the Screw.

Turn the right crank arm for a moment. Repeat until the console displays correct feedback. When the reed switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the right side shield and the right pedal.

HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT

if you can feel the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even when the resistance is adjusted to the highest level, the Drive Belt (47) may need to be adjusted. To adjust the Drive Belt, you must first remove both side

shields. Refer to HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH at the left and remove the side shields.

Next, turn the indicated M8 Nylon Locknut (63) until the Drive Belt (47) is properly tightened. Then, teat=

tach the side shields.

PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

Avoid moving your hands while using the pulse sen= sot. Excessive movement may interfere with heart

rate readings. Do not hold the metal contacts too

tightly; doing so may interfere with heart rate read-

ings.

• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the metal contacts for about 15 seconds.

For optimal performance of the pulse sensor, keep

the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be

cleaned with a soft cloth--never use alcohol,

abrasives, or chemicals.

EXERCDSE GUIDELINES

WARNING'.

o Before beginning this or any exercise pro=

gram, consult your physician. This is espe- cially important for individuaJs over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-existing hea_th problems.

o The pu_se sensor is not a medical device.

VaNoua factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is intended only as an exercise aid in deter- mining 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 recom- mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burn- ing, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.

I65 155 I45 140 130 125 115 _ 145 138 130 125 1!8 110 103 C_)

125 !20 115 110 105 95 90

20 30 40 50 60 70 80

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.

Fat Burning

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative= ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.

During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener- 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 num- ber or the middle number in your training zone as you

exercise.

Aerobic Exercise

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys- tem, 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. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-

ration for exercise.

Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min- utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise pro- gram, 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, plan three work- outs 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 make exercise a regu- lar and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
