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 exer- cise, the console will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the built-in handgrip pulse sensor. (For information

about an optional chest pulse sensor, refer to page 20.)

The console also offers four Smart workout programs.

Each program automatically changes the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer 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 work- out programs that automatically change the resistance

of the elliptical crosstrainer and prompt you to vary your pace to keep your heart rate near a target heart

rate as you exercise.

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

sonal trainer right in your home. Using a stereo audio

cable (available at electronics stores), you can connect

the elliptical crosstrainer to your home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play special iFIT.com CD pro-

grams (CD's are available separately). IFlT.com CD programs automatically control the resistance of the

elliptical crosstrainer 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. Each CD features two programs designed by certified personal trainers.

In addition, you can connect the elliptical crosstrainer

to your VCR and TV and play iFIT.com video programs

(videocassettes are available separately). Video pro- grams offer the same benefits as iFIT.com CD pro-

grams, but add the excitement of working out with a class and an instructor.

With the elliptical crosstrainer connected to your com-

puter, you can also go to our new Web site at

www.iFIT.com and access audio programs and video

programs directly from the intemet.

For information about the availability of iFIT.com

CD's or videocassettes, send an e-mail to ellipticalworkouts@iFIT.com, and we'll notify you

as soon as iFIT.com CD's and videocassettes are available. Or, call toll-free 1-800-884-0620.

CONSOLE DESCRIPTION

Increase Arrow "_ _*_

IL_l Start the program.

To start the program, simply begin exercising.

Each Smart program consists of twenty, 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 pedods.)

During the program, the resistance of the elliptical

crosstrainer will automatically change as shown

by the applicable profile on the console. If the cur- rent resistance level is too high or too low, you

can change the resistance level by pressing the + and - buttons. 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.

Follow your progress with the feedback modes.

Refer to step 4 on page 12.

[]Measure your heart rate If desired.

See step 5 on page 12.

r_When you are finished exercising, the console

will automatically turn off after five minutes.

Refer to step 6 on page 12.

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM

Each Heart Rate program helps you to keep your heart rate near a cedain percentage 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.) Heart Rate program 5 is designed

to keep your heart rate between 65% and 85% of your

maximum heart rate while you exercise; Heart Rate program 6 is designed to keep your heart rate

between 65% and 80% of your maximum heart rate.

Follow the steps below to use a Heart Rate program.

B Turn on the console.

Refer to step 1 on page 12.

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 pro- gram, press the

Program button repeatedly until the number 5 or 6 appears in the upper right corner of the display.

The profiles numbered 5 and 6 on the right side

of the console show the resistance settings for the Heart Rate programs. For example, profile

number 5 shows that when Heart Rate program 5 is selected, the resistance level will gradually

increase during the program and then decrease near the end.

Enter your age.

When a Heart Rate program is selected, the word AGE will appear in the display. You must enter your age to use a Heart Rate program. To enter your age, first press the + or - button. The current

age setting will then be shown. Next, 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.

B Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

When using a Heart Rate program, you must use the handgrip pulse sensor (refer to step 5 on

page 12) or the optional chest pulse sensor (refer to page 20). If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrips continu- ously during the program. However, you should

hold the handgdps 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 willappear in the display instead of your head rate.

Start the program.

To start the program, simply begin exercising.

Each Heart Rate program consists of twenty, one-

minute periods. One resistance setting and one heart rate setting are programmed for each peri-

od. (The same resistance setting and/or heart

rate 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. If the cur- rent resistance level is too high or too low, you can adjust the resistance level by pressing the +

and - buttons. 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 pedod.

As you exercise, the bar graphs

will help you to keep your heart

rate near the heart rate setting

for the current

period, The left

bar graph will show your actual exercise pace.

The right bar graph 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 heart rate setting for the current period. If necessary, the right bar

graph will then change to prompt you to increase or decrease your pace to bring your heart rate closer to the current heart rate setting. When the

right bar graph changes, increase or decrease your pace so that the same number of bars appear on both bar graphs. If your pace is slower than the current pace setting, the increase arrow

will appear in the display; if your pace is faster than the pace setting, the decrease arrow wil',

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 exercise 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 exercising after the program is complet- ed, the display will continue to show your exer-

cise feedback.

HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

° 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 !5 seconds.

• For optimal performance of the handgdp pulse sen- sor, 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 cross-

trainer until it can be moved on the front

wheels. Carefully

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

kWARNING:

Before beginning this or any exercise pro-

gram, consult your physician. This is espe-

cially 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 hb_iPtrat_ t_ends i_ g_neral.

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 recom-

mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat

burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.

165 155 145 140 I30 I25 115

uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener- gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does

your body begin to use stored tat calories tor energy.

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

exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num- ber 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 num-

ber in your training zone as you exercise.

Aerobic Exercise

If your goat is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys- tem, your exercise must be "aerobic." Aerobic exer- cise 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 pads:

A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exemise. A proper warm-up increases your

body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa- ration for exercise.

145 138 130 125 118 110 103 125 120 115 110 105 95 90

20 30 40 50 60 70 80

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 relative-

ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body

Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-

utes 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 exer- cise, 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.
