FAN WORKOUT

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers an array of features designed to make your workouts more effective and enjoyable.

When you use the manual mode of the console, you can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will display

continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.

The console offers three interactive cross training workouts designed to help you to burn calories and enhance your cardiovascular system while toning and strengthening your muscles. The cross training work- outs automatically control the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to perform a variety of strength exer- cises during your workout. Note: The strength exercis- es require the use of dumbbells and an inflatable exer- cise ball (not included). To purchase dumbbells or an exercise ball, call 1-888-533-1333.

The console also offers two target toning workouts designed to work specific areas of the body. The con- sole guides you through each workout with a variety of exercise instructions while automatically changing the resistance of the pedals.

In addition, you can use three calorie goal workouts designed to help you burn 300 or 400 calories in 30- or 45-minute workouts. The calorie goal workouts automatically control the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to vary your pace while counting the calo- ries you burn.

The console also has a high performance workout that automatically changes the resistance of the pedals and prompts you to vary your pace as it guides you through an effective workout.

To use the manual mode, see page 15. To use a cross training workout, see page 16. To use a tar- get toning workout, see page 18. To use a calorie goal workout, see page 19. To use the high perfor- mance workout, see page 20.

5. Measure your heart rate if desired. HOW TO USE A CROSS TRAINING WORKOUT

If there are sheets of clear plastic on the Metal Contacts

metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sen-

sor, remove the plas- tic. To measure your

heart rate, hold the handgrip pulse sensor

with your palms resting against the metal con- tacts. Avoid moving your hands or gripping the contacts tightly.

When your pulse is detected, a heart-

shaped symbol will flash in the left display. Each time your heart

beats, one or two dashes will appear, and then your heart rate will

be shown. For the most accurate heart rate read- ing, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds. Note:

If you continue to hold the handgrip pulse sensor, the display will show your heart rate for up to 30

seconds.

If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your hands are positioned as described. Be careful not to move your hands excessively or to squeeze the metal contacts tightly. For optimal performance, clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth; never

use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean the contacts.

6. Turn on the fan if desired.

1. Turn on the console.

See step 1 on page 15.

2. Select a cross training workout.

To select a cross training workout, press the Workout button repeatedly until the words UPPER

BODY, LOWER BODY, or WHOLE BODY appear in the upper display.

center display.

3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.

Each workout is divided into 25 or 45 one-minute segments. One resistance level and one target

rpm (revolutions per minute) setting are pro- grammed for most segments. (Note: The same resistance level and/or target rpm setting may be programmed for consecutive segments.) During other segments, the console will prompt you to per- form strength exercises.

Profile

The fan has high and low speed settings. Press the Fan button repeatedly to select a fan speed or to turn off the fan. Note: If the pedals do not move for about thirty seconds, the fan will turn off auto- matically.

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

If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a series of tones will sound, the console will pause, and the time will flash in the display.

If the pedals do not move for about five minutes, the console will turn off and the display will be

reset.

During the workout, the workout profile will show your progress (see the drawing above). The flash- ing segment of the profile represents the current segment of the workout. The height of the flashing segment indicates the resistance level for the cur- rent segment. At the end of each segment of the

workout, a series of tones will sound and the next segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a differ-

ent resistance level is programmed for the next segment, the resistance level will appear in the display for a few seconds to alert you. The resis- tance of the pedals will then change.

As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep your pedaling pace near the target rpm setting for the current segment. When the words PEDAL

FASTER appear in the upper display or the GO FASTER indicator on the pace guide is lit, increase your pace. When the words PEDAL

SLOWER appear or the GO SLOWER indicator is

lit, decrease your pace. When the words PEDAL- ING IN RANGE appear or when the center indica-

tor is lit, maintain your current pace.

GO FASTER GO SLOWER

IMPORTANT: The target rpm settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actu-

al pace may be slower than the target rpm set- tings. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is com-

fortable for you.

Step off the elliptical exerciser and prepare to begin the first strength exercise. Every few sec-

onds, the console will sound a tone; when a tone

sounds, perform one repetition of the exercise. Exercise with a slow, steady motion; do not per-

form more than one repetition each time a tone

sounds. The display will count down the repetitions as you perform them.

Note: Refer to a weight training manual or exer- cise guide if you are unfamiliar with the correct form for each strength exercise. When performing

lunges, alternate legs with each repetition. When

performing dumbbell rows, perform half the repeti- tions with your right arm and half the repetitions with your left arm. The strength exercises require

the use of dumbbells and an inflatable exercise

ball (not included). To purchase dumbbells or an exercise ball, call 1-888-533-1333.

5. Continue the cross training workout.

If the resistance level for the current segment is too high or too low, you can manually override the setting by pressing the Resistance decrease and

increase buttons. However, when the current seg-

ment ends, the pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance level for the next segment.

If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To

restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The workout will continue until the last segment of the

profile flashes and the last segment of the workout ends.

Perform the first strength exercise when

prompted.

When the first strength exercise segment begins, the name of the first strength exercise will appear

in the upper display for a few seconds. The time will pause and flash in the left display.
