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 four preset 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 two heart rate work­outs that change the resistance of the pedals to keep
your heart rate near target heart rate settings while
you exercise.

The console also features the new iFit Interactive
Workout System. The iFit Interactive Workout System
is compatible with 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 and motivates you through your work­outs. iFit cards are available separately. To purchase

iFit cards, go to www.iFit.com or call the telephone
number on 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 consoleʼs sound system and listen to your
favorite music or audio books while you exercise.

To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 15. To use a preset work-
out, see page 17. To use a heart rate workout, see
page 18. To use an iFit workout, see page 19. To
use the sound system, see page 19.

intended only to provide a goal. 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.

3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.

Each workout is divided into 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. 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 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 resis­tance of the pedals will then change.

consecutive segments.

During the workout, the workout profile in the dis­play will show your progress. The flashing seg­ment of the profile represents the current segment
of the workout. The height of the flashing segment
indicates the target heart rate setting 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.

During heart rate workout 2, different target
heart rate settings will be programmed for different
segments of the workout. If you have selected
heart rate workout 2, press the increase and
decrease buttons above the Heart Rate buttons to
enter the desired maximum target heart rate set­ting for the workout (see EXERCISE INTENSITY
on page 21).

4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen­sor continuously during heart rate workouts; how­ever, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor
frequently for the workouts to operate properly.

Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor,
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at
least 30 seconds.

During both workouts, the console will regularly

compare your heart rate to the target heart rate
setting for the current segment of the workout. If
your heart rate is too far below or above the target
heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals will
automatically increase or decrease to bring your
heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
Each time the resistance changes, the resistance
level will appear in the display for a few seconds
to alert you.

18

While you exercise, the target pacer coach will
prompt you to maintain a constant pedaling speed.
When a left indicator lights, increase your pace;

hen a right indicator lights, decrease your pace.

w
When the center indicator lights, maintain your

urrent pace. IMPORTANT: The target pacer

c

coach is intended only to provide a goal. 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 console compares
your heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the
resistance of the pedals may automatically
increase or decrease to bring your heart rate clos­er to the target heart rate setting.

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 AN IFIT WORKOUT

8.

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

See step 7 on page 16.

A moment after you select a workout, the voice of
a personal trainer will begin guiding you through
your workout. iFit workouts work in the same way
as preset workouts. To use the workout, see steps
3 to 7 on page 17.

3.

When you are finished exercising, remove the
iFit card.

Remove the iFit card when you are finished exer­cising. Store the iFit card in a secure place.

HOW TO USE THE SOUND SYSTEM

To play music or audio books through the consoleʼs
sound system while you exercise, plug the included
audio cable into the jack on the console and into a
jack on your MP3 player or CD player; make sure

that the audio cable is fully plugged in.

Next, press the play button on your MP3 player or CD
player. Adjust the volume of the speakers using the
volume control on your MP3 player or CD player.
Note: You can also adjust the volume of the console
as described in step 4 on page 15.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser

egularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

r

To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and
a small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid

amage to the console, keep liquids away from

d
the console and keep the console out of direct
sunlight.

CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING

If the console displays become dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. See assembly step 5 on page 8
for replacement instructions. If the handgrip pulse sen­sor does not function properly, see step 5 on page 16.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. First, remove all of
the screws from both shields; there are three sizes of

screws in the shields—note which size of screw
you remove from each hole. Then, gently pry the

shields away from the frame.

HOW TO ADJUST THE BELT

If you can feel the pedals slip while you are pedaling,
even when the resistance of the pedals is at the high­est setting, the Belt (46) may need to be adjusted.

irst, remove all the screws from both shields; there

F

are three sizes of screws in the shields—note
which size of screw you remove from each hole.

Then, gently pry the shields away from the frame.

Next, turn the Belt
Adjustment Screw
(72) until the Belt
(46) is tight.
Then, reattach
the shields. Note:
If you have ques­tions as to which
screw should be
in which hole, see
EXPLODED
DRAWING B and
the PART LIST near the end of the manual.

Next, locate the
Reed Switch (58).
Turn the Left
Pedal Disc (26)
until the Magnet
(41) is aligned
with the Reed
Switch. Loosen,
but do not
remove, the indi­cated M4 x 16mm
Screw (84). Slide
the Reed Switch
slightly closer to or away from the Magnet, and then
retighten the Screw. Rock the Left Pedal Disc forward
and backward just enough that the Magnet passes the
Reed Switch repeatedly. Repeat until the console dis­plays correct feedback. When the Reed Switch is cor­rectly adjusted, reattach the shields. Note: If you have
questions as to which screw should be in which hole,
see EXPLODED DRAWING B and the PART LIST
near the end of this manual.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: B

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.

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

Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-

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
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. 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.

21

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.

ove slowly as you stretch—never bounce.

M

. Toe Touch Stretch
