CONSOLE DIAGRAM
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable.
When you select 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 provide
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure
your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.
The console also offers two timed workouts. Each
workout automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your
pedaling pace as it guides you through an effective
workout.
In addition, the console features six calorie workouts
designed to help you burn 150, 200, 300, 350, 400, or
500 calories. Each workout automatically changes the
resistance of the pedals and prompts you to increase
or decrease your pedaling pace while counting the
calories you burn.
The console features the iFit interactive workout system, which enables the console to accept iFit cards
containing workouts designed to help you achieve
specific fitness goals. For example, lose unwanted
pounds with the 8-week Weight Loss workout. iFit
workouts control the resistance of the pedals while the
voice of a personal trainer coaches you through your
workouts. iFit cards are available separately. To pur-
chase iFit cards, go to www.iFit.com or see the
front cover of this manual. iFit cards are also
available at select stores.
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player
to the console sound system and listen to your favorite
music or audio books while you exercise.
To use the manual mode, see page 16. To use a
timed workout, see page 18. To use a calorie workout, see page 19. To use an iFit workout, see page
20. To use the sound system, see page 20.
Note: Before using the console, make sure that batteries are installed (see step 7 on page 9). If there is a
sheet of plastic on the display, remove the plastic.

multiplied by the number on the left side equals
the trip distance or the total distance.
The upper right
display can show the
elapsed time, the distance (total number of
revolutions) you have
pedaled, the approximate number of calories you have burned, and the
approximate number of grams of carbs you have
burned. The display will change modes every few
seconds.
To adjust the volume level of the console, first
press and hold down the Display button until the
display becomes blank. When you release the
Display button, the volume level will then appear in
the display. Press the 20 Min and 30 Min buttons

3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into 20 or 30 one-minute
segments. One resistance level and one target
pace setting is programmed for each segment.
Note: The same resistance level and/or target
pace setting may be programmed for consecutive
segments.
During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The flashing segment of the profile represents the current
segment of the workout. The height of the flashing
segment indicates the resistance level for the current segment.
When a left indicator lights, increase your pace;
when a right indicator lights, decrease your pace.
When the center indicator lights, maintain your
current pace. IMPORTANT: The target pacer
coach is intended only to provide motivation.
Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
resistance level by pressing the Quick Resistance
buttons. However, when the current segment
ends, the resistance of 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 workout ends.

HOW TO USE A CALORIE WORKOUT
1. Press any button on the console or begin
edaling to turn on the console.
p
ee step 1 on page 16.
S
2. Select a calorie workout.
To select a calorie workout, press the 150 Cals,
200 Cals, 300 Cals, 350 Cals, 400 Cals, or 500
Cals button.
When you select a calorie workout, the name of
the workout and the maximum resistance level will
appear in the display for a few seconds. A profile
of the resistance levels of the workout will also
scroll across the left side of the display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each calorie workout will help you burn 150, 200,
300, 350, 400, or 500 calories. During each workout, the console will count the approximate
number of calories you have burned.
Each workout is divided into 20, 25, 30, or 45 oneminute segments. One resistance level and one
target pace setting is programmed for each segment. Note: The same resistance level and/or
target pace setting may be programmed for consecutive segments.
If a different resistance level is programmed for
the next segment, the resistance level will appear
in the display for a few seconds to alert you. The
esistance of the pedals will then change.
r
uring the workout, the target pacer coach will
D
prompt you to keep your pedaling pace near the
target pace setting for the current segment.
When a left indicator lights, increase your pace;
when a right indicator lights, decrease your pace.
When the center indicator lights, maintain your
current pace. IMPORTANT: The target pacer
coach is intended only to provide motivation.
Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
resistance level by pressing the Quick Resistance
buttons. However, when the current segment
ends, the resistance of 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 workout ends.
4. Follow your progress with the displays.
See step 4 on page 16.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The flashing segment of the profile represents the current
segment of the workout. The height of the flashing
segment indicates the resistance level for the current 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.
See step 5 on page 17.
6. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 17.
7. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 7 on page 17.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical regularly.
eplace any worn parts immediately.
R
To clean the elliptical, use a damp cloth and a small
amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid damage
o the console, keep liquids away from the con-
t
sole and keep the console out of direct sunlight.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console displays become dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. See assembly step 7 on page 9
for replacement instructions.
If the handgrip pulse sensor does not function properly, see step 5 on page 17.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
If the elliptical rocks slightly on your floor during use,
turn one or both of the leveling feet beneath the rear
stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING: B
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.
These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for
successful results.
efore beginning this
urning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-
B
cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after
he first few minutes of exercise does your body begin
t
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. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your
heart rate near the middle number in your training
zone.
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper intensity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes 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.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise–never hold your breath.
Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of
stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your
muscles and helps 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 exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.
22
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
1

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.
