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 exercise cycle can be adjusted with a touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the builtin handgrip pulse sensor. (For information about an optional chest pulse sensor, refer to page 18.)

The console also offers eight Smart workout programs. Each program automatically changes the resistance of the exercise cycle and prompts you to increase or decrease your pace as it guides you through an effective workout.

The console also features new iFIT.com interactive technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a personal trainer right in your home. Using the included audio cable, you can connect the exercise cycle to your home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play special iFIT.com CD programs. IFIT.com CD programs

automatically control the resistance of the exercise cycle 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 exercise cycle to your VCR and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (videocassettes are available separately). Video programs offer the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, but add the excitement of working out with a class and an instructor.

With the exercise cycle connected to your computer, you can also go to our new Web site at www.iFIT.com and access audio programs and video programs directly from the internet.

For information about the availability of iFIT.com CD’s or videocassettes, send an e-mail to workouts@iFIT.com, and we’ll notify you as soon as iFIT.com CD’s and videocassettes are available.

CONSOLE DESCRIPTION

Refer to the drawing on page 10. Note: If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove it.

A. Exercise feedback display—This display features

seven modes that give you instant exercise feedback: your current speed, the elapsed time (or the time remaining in a Smart program), the distance that you have pedaled, the resistance level, the approximate numbers of calories and fat calories you have burned (see FAT BURNING on page 20), and your heart rate (when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor [refer to page 18 for information about the chest pulse sensor]). If the scan mode is selected, the display will change from one mode to the next every six seconds. Or, you can select a single mode for continuous display.

Note: The console can show speed and distance in either miles or kilometres. T o change the unit of measurement, hold down the On/Reset button for six seconds. The mode indicators (see F below) will show which unit of measurement is selected. When the batteries are replaced, it may be necessary to reselect the desired unit of measurement.

B. Increase and decrease arrows—During Smart pro-

grams and iFIT.com programs, these arrows will prompt you to increase or decrease your pace to match the target pace.

C. Manual mode/program indicators—When a Smart

program is selected, the upper right corner of the display will show a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8, depending on which Smart program is selected. When the iFIT.com mode is selected, the upper right corner will show the letters IF. When the manual mode is selected, the upper right corner will be blank.

D. Program profiles—These profiles show how the

resistance of the exercise cycle and the target pace will change during Smart programs. For example, profile number 6 shows that during Smart program 6, the resistance will gradually increase during the first half of the program, and then gradually decrease during the last half; the target pace will alternately increase and decrease throughout the

program. E. Warnings—See page 3. F. Feedback mode indicators—These indicators show

which feedback mode (scan, speed, time, distance, resistance level, calories, fat calories, or heart rate) is currently shown. Note: When the distance is shown, the word Miles or the letters Kms will appear; when your speed is shown, the letters MPH or Km/H will appear.

G.Pace indicators—When the manual mode is select-

ed, only the left pace indicator will appear. This indicator shows your exercise pace. As you increase or decrease your pace, the indicator will increase or decrease in height. When a Smart program or the iFIT.com mode is selected, both pace indicators will appear. The left indicator will show your actual exercise pace, and the right indicator will show the current target pace. During the program, the target pace will periodically change; as the right indicator changes in height, simply adjust your pace so that both indicators are at the same height. Important:

The target pace is a goal pace. Your actual pace may be slower than the target pace, especially during the first few months of your exercise program. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

H. On/Reset button—When the console is off, pressing

this button will turn on the display. When the console is on, pressing this button will reset the display. This button is also used to select the unit of measurement for speed and distance (see A at the left).

I. Display Mode button—This button is used to select

the feedback modes. The modes will be selected in the following order: scan, speed, time, distance, resistance level, calories, fat calories, and heart rate (when the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor is used).

J. + and – buttons—These buttons control the resist-

ance of the exercise cycle. There are ten resistance levels; level 10 is the most challenging.

K. Program button—This button is used to select the

manual mode and Smart programs.

L. IFIT.com button—This button is used to select the

iFIT.com mode. The indicator on the button will light when the iFIT.com mode is selected.

To use the manual mode of the console, refer to page 12. To use a Smart program, refer to page 13.

To use iFIT.com CDs or videos, refer to page 17. To use a program directly from our Web site, refer to

page 18.

Turn on the console.

Note: The console requires four 1,5 V (“D”) batteries (not included). If you have not installed batteries, refer to step 4 on page 6 and install batteries.

To turn on the console, press the On/Reset button or begin pedaling.

Select the manual mode.

Each time the console is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. If a Smart program or the iFIT.com mode has been selected, select the manual mode by pressing the Program button repeatedly until the upper right corner of the display is blank.

Begin exercising and adjust the resistance of the exercise cycle.

As you exercise, adjust the resistance of the exercise cycle as desired by pressing the + and – buttons. There are ten resistance levels; level 10 is the most challenging. Note: After the buttons are pressed, it will take a few seconds for the selected setting to be reached.

Follow your progress with the feedback modes and the left bar graph.

When the console is turned on, the scan mode will be selected. As you exercise, the display will show your current speed, the elapsed time, the distance that you have pedaled, the current resistance level, and the approximate numbers of calories and fat calories you have burned. In addition, your heart rate will be shown when you use the handgrip pulse sensor (refer to step 5 at the right) or the optional chest pulse sensor (refer to page 18). Note: Each time the resistance level changes, the

console will show the resistance level for six seconds. When a Smart program is selected, the display will show the time remaining in the program instead of the elapsed time.

In addition, the left pace indicator will appear in the display to show your exercise pace. As you increase or decrease your pace, the indicator will increase or decrease in height.

If desired, you can select a single feedback mode for continuous display. Press the Display Mode button repeatedly until only the MPH (or Km/H), Time, Miles (or Kms), Resist., Cals., or Fat Cals. indicator appears in the display. Make sure that the Scan indicator does not appear.

Measure your heart rate if desired.

Note: f you wear the optional chest pulse sensor and hold the handgrip pulse sensor at the same time, the consol may not display your heart rate accurately.

If there are thin sheets of plastic on the metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, peel off the plastic. To

use the handgrip pulse sensor, place your hands on the metal contacts. Your palms must be on the upper contacts and your fingers must be touching the lower contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is detected, the heart-shaped indicator in the display will flash each time your heart beats. After a moment, two dashes (– –) will appear and then your heart rate will be shown.

For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the handgrips for about 15 seconds. Note: When you first hold the handgrips, the display will show your heart rate continuously for 15 seconds. The display will then show your heart rate along with the other feedback modes.

When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off after a few minutes.

If the pedals are not moved and the console buttons are not pressed for a few minutes, the con-

sole will automatically turn off to conserve the batteries.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

Turn on the console.

Refer to step 1 on page 12.

Select one of the eight Smart programs.

Each time the console is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. To select a Smart program, press the Program button repeatedly until the number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 appears in the upper right corner of the display.

The profiles on the right side of the console show how the resistance of the exercise cycle and the target pace will change during the Smart programs. For example, profile number 6 shows that during Smart program 6, the resistance will gradually increase during the first half of the program, and then gradually decrease during the last half; the target pace will alternately increase and decrease throughout the program.

Start the program.

To start the program, simply begin exercising. Each Smart program consists of either twenty or thirty, 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 periods.)

During the program, the resistance of the exercise cycle will automatically change as shown by the applicable profile on the console. If the current 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.

The target pace settings for the program will be shown by the right pace indicator in the display. (The left indicator will show your actual exercise pace.) As the right indicator changes in height during the program, simply adjust your pace so that both indicators are at the same height. If your pace is slower than the current target pace, the increase arrow will appear in the display to prompt you to increase your pace; if your pace is faster than the target pace, the decrease arrow will appear. Important: The tar-

get pace settings for the program are intended only to provide a goal. Your actual pace may be slower than the target 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. If you continue exercising after the program is completed, the display will continue to show your exercise feedback.

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.

When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off after a few minutes.

Refer to step 6 on page 12.

THE OPTIONAL CHEST PULSE SENSOR

The optional chest pulse sensor provides hands-free operation and continuously monitors your heart rate during your workouts. To purchase the optional

chest pulse sensor, call 08457 089 009.

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.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If the console display becomes dim, the batteries should be replaced; most console problems are the result of low batteries. Refer to assembly step 4 on page 6 for replacement instructions. Note: The console requires four 1,5 V (“D”) batteries.

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 stabiliser are touching the floor. If the exercise cycle rocks slightly during use, turn one or both of the leveling feet under the front stabiliser until the rocking motion is eliminated.

HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

• Avoid moving your hands whilst 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 15 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.

HOW TO MOVE THE EXERCISE CYCLE

To move the exercise cycle, first stand in front of the exercise cycle, hold the handlebars, and place one foot on the front stabiliser. Pull the handlebars until the exercise cycle can be moved on the front wheels. Carefully move the exercise cycle to the desired location and then lower it.

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 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 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 ener- gy. 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. A proper 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. (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.

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.
