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 adjusted with a touch of a button. As you pedal, 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 19.

The console also offers six preset workout programs. Each program automatically changes the pedalling resistance 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 change the pedalling resistance 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 interactive technology is like having a personal trainer in your home. Using the included audio cable, you can connect the elliptical crosstrainer 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 pedals 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. To purchase iFIT.com

CDs and videocassettes, visit our Web site at www.iFIT.com.

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

Begin pedalling and adjust the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer.

As you pedal, adjust the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer as desired by pressing the + and – 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 and the left pace indicator.

When the console is turned on, the scan mode will be selected. As you pedal, 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 pedalled, and your power output in watts. In addition, your heart rate will be shown when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor. Note: Each time the resistance level changes, the console will show the resistance

level for six seconds. When a program is selected, the display will show the time

remaining

the program instead of the elapsed time.

If desired, you can select a single feedback mode for continuous display. Press the Mode 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 left pace indicator will appear in the display. As you increase or decrease your pace, the indicator will increase or decrease in height.

Measure your heart rate if desired.

Note: If you wear the optional chest pulse sensor 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 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.

Each time the console is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. To select a preset program, press the Program button repeatedly until the number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 appears in the upper right corner of the display.

The profiles numbered 1 through 6 on the right side of the console show the resistance and pace settings for the preset programs.

Start the program.

To start the program, simply begin pedalling. Each preset program consists of either twenty or thirty, 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. Note: If the current resistance level is too high or too low, you can change the resistance level by pressing the + or – button. 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 target pace settings for the program will be shown by the right pace indicator in the display. (The left indicator will show your actual pedalling pace.) As the right indicator changes in height during the program, adjust your pace so that both indicators are at the same height. If your pace is slower than the current target pace, the increase arrow will appear in the display to prompt you to increase your pace; if your pace is faster than the target pace, 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 pedal 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 pedalling after the program is completed, the display will continue to show your exercise feedback.

Follow your progress with the feedback modes.

Heart rate program 7 is designed to keep your heart rate between 65% and 85% 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 beats per minute.) Heart rate program 8 is designed to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate that you choose.

Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.

Turn on the console.

See step 1 on page 11.

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 Program button repeatedly until the number 7 or 8 appears in the upper right corner of the display.

The profiles numbered 7 and 8 on the right side of the console show the resistance settings for the heart rate programs.

Enter your age or a target heart rate.

If you selected program 7, the word AGE and

the current age setting will flash in the display (see the drawing above). Press the + or – button repeatedly to enter your age. Once you have entered your age, your age will be saved in memory until the batteries are replaced.

If you selected program 8, the

letters PLS and a target heart rate setting of 70 beats per minute will flash in the display. Press the + or – button repeatedly to change the target heart rate setting, if desired. The target heart rate setting can be from 70 to 170 beats per minute.

Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or put on the optional chest pulse sensor

To use a heart rate program, you must use the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest pulse sensor. 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, simply begin pedalling. Program 7 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.) Program 8 is sixty minutes long (you may choose to use only part of the program). The same resistance setting and target heart rate setting are programmed for the entire program.

If program 7 is selected, the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer will automatically change as shown by profile 7 on the console. (Note: If the current resistance level is too high or too low, you can adjust the resistance level by pressing the + or – button. 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.) If pro- gram 8 is selected, the resistance setting will not change unless the target heart rate setting is changed. Pressing the + and – buttons will change the target heart rate setting.

As you pedal, the pace indicators will help you to keep your heart rate near the target current heart rate. The left indicator will show your actual pedalling pace. The right indicator will show a target pace. When you hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest pulse sensor, the console will compare your heart rate to the current target heart rate. If necessary, the right indicator will then change in height to

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM

Page 14

prompt you to increase or decrease your pace to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate. When the right indicator changes in height, increase or decrease your pace so that both indicators are at the same height. If your pace is slower than the current target pace, the increase arrow will appear in the display; if your pace is faster than the target pace, the decrease arrow will appear. Important: The target pace is

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

If you continue pedalling after the program is completed, the display will continue to show your exercise feedback.

Follow your progress with the feedback modes.

See step 4 on page 11.

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

Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical crosstrainer regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the elliptical crosstrainer, use a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. Important: To

avoid damage to the console, keep liquids away from the console and keep the console out of direct sunlight.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If the console display becomes dim, the batteries should be replaced; most console problems are the result of low batteries. See assembly step 5 on page 6 for replacement instructions.

HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

After the elliptical crosstrainer has been moved to the location where it will be used, make sure that the ends of both stabilisers are touching the floor. If the elliptical crosstrainer rocks slightly during use, turn one or both of the leveling feet under the front stabiliser until the rocking motion is eliminated.

HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

• Avoid moving your hands whilst using the handgrip pulse sensor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart rate readings. Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so may interfere with heart rate readings.

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

• For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse sensor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.

HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER

Stand in front of the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handlebars firmly, and tip the elliptical crosstrainer until it can be moved on the front wheels. Carefully move the elliptical crosstrainer to the desired location and then lower it. Due to the size and weight of the elliptical

crosstrainer, use extreme caution whilst moving it.

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. A proper 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.
