HOW TO OPERATE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS
The motion of the
pedals is deter-
ined by their
m
position on the
pedal springs. To
adjust the pedals,
first remove the
pedal knob
beneath each
pedal. Slide each
pedal forward or
backward, and
reattach it using one of the five positions in the pedal
and one of the three holes in the pedal spring. Make
sure that both pedals are in the same position.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
CROSSTRAINER
To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handgrip
pulse sensor and step onto the pedal that is in the lowest position. Then, step onto the other pedal. Push the
pedals until they begin to move with a continuous
motion. Note: The pedal disks can turn in either
direction. It is recommended that you move the
pedal disks in the direction shown by the arrow
below; however, for variety, you may turn the pedal
disks in the opposite direction.

pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.
HOW TO USE THE HANDLEBARS
The handlebars are
designed to add
upper-body exercise to your workouts. Push and pull
the handlebars as
you exercise to
work your arms,
shoulders, and
back.

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
pedal, the console will provide continuous exercise
feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using
the handgrip pulse sensor. Note: For information about
an optional chest pulse sensor, see page 19.
The console also offers six preset workout programs.
Each program automatically changes the pedalling
resistance 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 pedalling resistance 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 interactive technology is like having a personal trainer in your home. Using the included
audio cable, you can connect the elliptical crosstrainer
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 automatically
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. High-energy music
provides added motivation.

If you selected program 7, the word
the current age setting will flash in the display
(see the drawing above). 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.
If you selected
program 8, the
letters PLS and
a target heart
rate setting of
70 beats per
minute will flash
in the display.
Press the + or – button repeatedly to change the
target heart rate setting, if desired. The target
heart rate setting can be from 70 to 170 beats per
minute.
AGE and
To use a heart rate program, you must use the
handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest
pulse sensor. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrips con-
inuously during the program. However, you should
t
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.
holding the handgrips, the letters PLS will appear
in the display instead of your heart rate.

To start the program, simply begin pedalling.
Program 7 consists of twenty
ods. One resistance setting and one heart rate
setting are programmed for each period. (The
same resistance setting and/or heart rate setting
may be programmed for consecutive periods.)
Program 8 is sixty minutes long (you may choose
to use only part of the program). The same resistance setting and target heart rate setting are programmed for the entire program.
If program 7 is selected, the resistance of the
elliptical crosstrainer will automatically change as
shown by profile 7 on the console. (Note: If the
current resistance level is too high or too low, you
can adjust the resistance level by pressing the +
or – button. 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.)
gram 8 is selected, the resistance setting will not
change unless the target heart rate setting is
changed. Pressing the + and – buttons will
change the target heart rate setting.
As you pedal, the
pace indicators
will help you to
keep your heart
rate near the target current heart
rate. The left
indicator will
show your actual pedalling pace. The right indicator 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 current target heart rate. If necessary,
the right indicator will then change in height to

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise pro-
•
gram, 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.
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.
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 as you exercise.
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.

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.”
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 relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
The lower two numbers are recommended
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes 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.
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.
