BEFORE YOU BEGIN 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 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; 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.

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. 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.

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.

1. Orient the Front Stabiliser (15) as shown. While another person lifts the front of the Frame (1), attach the Front Stabiliser to the Frame with two M8 x 52mm Button Screws (54) and two M8 Washers (81).

Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise cycle regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the exercise cycle, use a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap.

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 9 on page 8 for replacement instructions.

HOW TO LEVEL THE EXERCISE CYCLE

After the exercise cycle has been moved to the location where it will be used, make sure that both ends of front stabiliser are touching the floor. If the exercise cycle rocks slightly 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.

• 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 EXERCISE CYCLE

To move the exercise cycle, stand in front of the exercise cycle, hold the handlebars, and place one foot on the front stabiliser. Pull the handlebars until the exercise cycle can be moved on the wheels. Carefully move the exercise cycle to the desired location and then lower it.

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.

The console also offers four Smart 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.

In addition, the console features two Heart Rate programs that change the resistance of the pedals 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 hav-

ing 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 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.

Heart Rate program 1 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 2 is designed to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate that you select.

Follow the steps below to use a Heart Rate program.

Turn on the console.

See step 1 on page 11.

Select one of the 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 1 or 2 appears in the small display.

Enter your age or a target heart rate.

If program 1 is selected,

the word AGE will appear in the large display and the current age setting will flash. If you have already entered your age, press the Enter button. If you have not entered your age, press the small + and – buttons to enter your age. Then, press the Enter button. Once you have entered your age, it will be saved in memory until the batteries are replaced.

If program 2 is selected, the letters PLS (pulse) will appear in the large display and the current target heart rate will flash. If you do not wish to change the target heart rate, press the Enter button. If you wish to change the target heart rate, press the small + and – buttons. Then, press the Enter button. The target heart rate can be from 70 to 170 beats per minute.

Hold the handgrip pulse sensor

It is not necessary to hold the handgrips continuously during a Heart Rate program; however, you must hold the handgrips frequently 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 large display instead of your heart rate.

Begin pedalling to start the program.

To start the program, simply begin pedalling. Program 1 consists of 20 one-minute periods. One resistance level and one target heart rate are programmed for each period. (The same resistance level and/or target heart rate may be programmed for two or more consecutive periods.) Program 2 is sixty minutes long (you may choose to use only part of the program). The same resistance level and target heart rate are programmed for the entire program.

If program 1 is selected, the resistance of the pedals will periodically change. (Note: If the resistance level is too high or too low, you can change it by pressing the + and – buttons below the large display. However, when the current period is completed, the resistance of the pedals may automatically change.)

If program 2 is selected, the

resistance of the pedals will not change. Note: You can change the resistance level for the entire program by pressing the + and – buttons below the large display if desired.

During programs 1 and 2,

the arrows in the small display will help you to keep your heart rate near the current target heart rate. When you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, the console will compare your heart rate to the current target heart rate. If your heart rate is too far above or below the target heart rate, the number of arrows in the small display will change to prompt you to increase or decrease your pace. When the number of arrows changes, change your pace until there is one segment of the indicator bar at the tip of each arrow.

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.

To reset the displays, press the On/Reset button.

Note: The console can show speed and distance in either miles or kilometres.

The letters MPH or KM/H will appear in the lower section of the large display to show which system of measurement is selected. To change the system of measurement, hold down the On/Reset button for about six seconds. Note: When the button is held down, the fan will turn on for a moment. When the batteries are replaced, it may be necessary to reselect the desired system of measurement.

Measure your heart rate if desired.

If there are thin sheets of plastic on the metal contacts on the handgrips, peel off the plastic.

To use the handgrip pulse sensor, hold the handgrips with your palms resting against the metal contacts.

Avoid moving your

hands.

When your pulse is detected, the heartshaped indicator in the large 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 30 seconds. Note: When you first hold the handgrips, the large dis-

play will show your heart rate continuously for 30 seconds. The display will then show your heart rate along with other feedback modes.

Turn on the fan if desired.

To turn on the fan at low speed, press the fan button. To turn on the fan at high speed, press the fan button a second time. To turn off the fan, press the fan button a third time. Note: If the fan is turned on and the pedals are not moved for about half a minute, the fan will turn off to conserve the batteries.

Rotate the thumb wheel on the right side of the console to pivot the fan to the desired angle.

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

If the pedals are not moved for a few seconds, the displays will pause and the time will flash in the large display.

If the pedals are not moved and the console buttons are not pressed for a few minutes, the console will turn off to conserve the batteries.

Each Smart program will automatically change the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to increase or decrease your pace as it guides you through an effective workout. Programs 3 and 4 are weight loss programs, program 5 is an aerobic program, and program 6 is a high-performance interval-training program.

Follow the steps below to use a Smart program.

Turn on the console.

See step 1 on page 11.

Select one of the Smart programs.

Each time the console is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. To select a Smart program, press the Program button repeatedly until the number 3, 4, 5, or 6 appears in the small display.

Begin pedalling to start the program.

To start the program, simply begin pedalling. Each Smart program consists of 20 or 30 oneminute periods. One resistance level and one target pace are programmed for each period. (The same resistance level and/or target pace may be programmed for two or more consecutive periods.)

At the end of each period of the program, the resistance of the pedals will automatically change if a different resistance level is programmed for the next period. Note: If the resistance level is too high or too low, you can change it by pressing the + and – buttons below the large display. However, when the current period is completed, the resistance of the pedals will automatically change if a different resistance level is programmed for the next period.

The target pace for the current period will be shown by the arrows in the small display. To pedal at the target pace, simply increase or decrease your pace until one segment of the indicator bar appears at the tip of each arrow (see the drawing above). At the end of each period, the number of arrows will change if a different target pace is programmed for the next period. When the number of arrows changes, change your pace until there is again one segment of the indicator bar at the tip of each arrow.

During the program, the centre of the large display will show the time remaining in the program. If you stop pedalling for a few seconds, the displays will pause and the time will flash. If you continue pedalling after the program is completed, the displays will continue to show exercise feedback.

Follow your progress with the large display.
