CONSOLE DIAGRAM

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 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.

In addition, the console features two pulse 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 while you exercise.

The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol­ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-

sonal trainer in your home. Using a stereo audio cable
(available at electronics stores), 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
automaticall y 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. High­energy music provides added motivation.

Note: The console
can show speed

your heart rate is too far below or above the target
heart rate, the resistance of the pedals will auto­matically increase or decrease to being your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate. Note: If t he
resistance level is too high or too low, you can
change it by pressing the Resistance buttons.
However, when the console compares your heart
rate to the target heart rate, the resistance may
automatically change.

If pulse program

chart on page 21 for heart rate guidelines.) If you
have already entered a target heart rate, press

entered a target heart rate, press the + or – but­ton beside the Enter button, and then press the
Enter button. Note: Once you have entered a tar­get heart rate, it will be saved in memory.

Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

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

Press the Start button or begin pedaling to

start the program.
Program 1 consists of 30 one-minute periods.

One target heart rate is programmed for each
period. (The same 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 target
heart rate is programmed for the entire program.

As you pedal, the
pace guide will
prompt you to
increase or
decrease your ped­aling pace. When
one of the indica­tors on the left side
of the pace guide
lights, increase
your pace; when one of the indicators on the right
side lights, decrease your pace. When the center
indicator lights, maintain your current pace.

Important: The target heart rate is intended
only to provide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a
pace that is comfortable for you.

The program will continue until no time remains in
the display. If you stop pedaling for several sec­onds, the program will pause and the time will

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

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.

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 stabilizer. Pull the handlebars until the exer­cise cycle can be moved on the front wheels.
Carefully move the exercise cycle to the desired loca­tion, place one foot on the front stabilizer, and then
carefully lower the exercise cycle.

HOW TO LEVEL THE EXERCISE CYCLE

fter the exercise

A
cycle has been
moved to the
location where it
will be used,
make sure that
both ends of the
front stabilizer are
touching the floor.
If the exercise
cycle rocks slight­ly during use, turn one or both of the leveling feet
under the front stabilizer 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;

abrasives, or chemicals.

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

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.

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.

-

During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored

f your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your

I
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.

carbohydrate

calories for energy.

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.
