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 work out, 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 six 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 technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer in your home. Using the built-in CD player,
you can play special iFIT.com CD programs. iFIT.com
CD programs automatically control the resistance of
the pedals and prompt you to vary your pace while a
personal trainer coaches you through every step of
your workout. High-energy music provides added motivation. Two iFIT.com CDs are included; to purchase
additional CDs, call toll-free 1-800-735-0768.
Using a stereo audio cable (available at electronics
stores), you can also connect the exercise cycle to
your VCR and TV and play iFIT.com video programs.
iFIT.com video programs offer the same benefits as
iFIT.com CD programs, and allow you to enjoy breathtaking scenery while you exercise. To purchase
iFIT.com videocassettes, call toll-free 1-800-735-
0768.

Each Smart program consists of either 20 or 30
one-minute 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.
When you begin pedaling, the resistance of the
pedals will automatically change to the resistance
level programmed for the first period. Note: If the
resistance level is too high or too low, you can
change it by pressing the Resistance buttons.
The target pace for the first period will appear in
the small display for a few seconds, and the
arrows in the small display will help you 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
at the right). Note:
When the word
TARGET does not
appear in the
small display, your
actual pedaling pace will be shown. 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.
During the last three seconds of each period, a
series of tones will sound and the time will flash in
the large display. The resistance of the pedals will
then change if a different resistance level is programmed for the next period. In addition, the
number of arrows in the small display will change
if a different target pace is programmed for the
next period.
During the program, the center of the large display will show the time remaining in the program.
If you stop pedaling for a few seconds, the displays will pause and the time will flash. To restart
the program, resume pedaling.

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 12.
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 and the
current age setting will appear in the large display.
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,
and 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 and the
current target heart rate will appear in the large
display. 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, and 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.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Heart rate program 1 consists of 20 one-minute
periods. One resistance level and one target heart
rate are programmed for each period. (Note: The
same resistance level and/or target heart rate
may be programmed for two or more consecutive
periods.) Heart Rate 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.
When you begin pedaling, the resistance of the
pedals will automatically change to the resistance
level programmed for the first period.
As you pedal, 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
one segment of the indicator bar appears 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.
During the last three seconds of each period, a
series of tones will sound and the time will flash in
the large display. The resistance of the pedals will
then 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 adjust it
by pressing the Resistance buttons. However,
when the next period begins, the resistance will
automatically change if a different resistance level
is programmed for the next period.

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.
CD PLAYER TROUBLESHOOTING
If the CD player stops working or fails to respond,
remove the batteries and then reinstall them or unplug
the power supply and then plug it back in.
HOW TO MOVE THE EXERCISE CYCLE
To move the exercise cycle, stand behind it and lift
the frame in the location shown below. To reduce the
risk of injury, bend your legs and keep your back
straight. As you lift the frame, make sure to lift
with your legs rather than your back. Carefully
move the exercise cycle on the front wheels, and then
lower the frame.
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
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; never use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console is using battery power, and if the displays becomes dim, the batteries should be replaced.
Most console problems are the result of low batteries.
See assembly step 12 on page 9 for replacement
instructions.

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. Aproper 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.
23
SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the
right. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward
from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you
reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back
of knees and back.
2. Hamstring Stretch
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot
toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended
leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches:
Hamstrings, lower back and groin.
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your
hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back
foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move
your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat
3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles
tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles
tendons and ankles.
4. Quadriceps Stretch
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp
one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your
buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3
times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
5. Inner Thigh Stretch
Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.
Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for
15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps
and hip muscles.
