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 pedals can be changed
with the touch of a button. As you pedal, the console
will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can
even measure your heart rate using the built-in handgrip pulse sensor.
In addition, the console offers ten preset programs.
Each program automatically changes the resistance of
the pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease
your pace as it guides you through an effective workout.
The console also features iFIT
ogy. Having iFIT.com interactive 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

To start the program, simply begin pedalling. Each
preset program consists of 20, 30, or 45 oneminute periods. One resistance level and one target pace are programmed for each period. Note:
The same resistance level and/or target pace may
be programmed for two or more consecutive periods.
Important: The target pace settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actual
pace may be slower than the target pace settings. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is
comfortable for you.
During the program, the centre of the display will
show the time remaining in the program. If you
stop pedalling for a few seconds, the display will
pause and the time will flash. If you continue pedalling after the program is completed, the display
will continue to show exercise feedback.

HOW TO LEVEL THE EXERCISE CYCLE
After the exercise
ycle has been
c
moved to the
location where it
will be used,
make sure that
both ends of the
front stabiliser are
touching the floor.
If the exercise
cycle rocks slightly on your floor during use, turn one or both of the levelling feet under the front stabiliser until the rocking
motion is eliminated.
HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
• Avoid moving your hands while 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 30 seconds.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
he following guidelines will help you to plan your
T
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
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 determin
ing heart rate trends in general.
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.
-
uring the first few minutes of exercise, your body
D
uses easily accessible
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored
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.
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.

calories for ener-
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 ab ove
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; 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. Note: 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, plan 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. Remember, the key to success is make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
