HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
EXERCISING 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. Next, 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 turn the
pedal disks in the direction shown by the arrow
below; however, to give variety to your exercise,
you may turn the pedal disks in the opposite
direction.
To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the
pedals come to a complete stop. The elliptical
crosstrainer does not have a free wheel; the ped-
als will continue to move until the flywheel stops.
When the pedals are stationary, step off the highest
pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS
The motion of the
pedals is deter-
mined by their
position on the
spring arms.
Their are five dif-
ferent pedal posi-
tions. To adjust
the pedals, first
loosen the knob
beneath each
pedal. Slide the pedals forward or backward to the
desired position, and then retighten the knobs. Make
sure that both pedals are in the same position.
INCLINE ADJUSTMENT
To further adjust the intensity of your exercise, the
incline frame can be raised or lowered. To raise the
incline frame, position the spring arms side by side.
Lift the end of the incline frame until the crossbar is
on top of the incline bracket. Make sure that the
crossbar is resting securely on top of the incline
bracket. To lower the incline frame, lift the incline
frame slightly, push the incline bracket toward the
upright, and then lower the incline frame onto the sta-
bilizer.
HOW TO USE THE UPPER BODY ARMS
The upper body
arms are designed
to add upper-body
exercise to your
workouts. As you
exercise, push
and pull the upper
body arms in
order to work your
arms, back, and
shoulders. To
exercise only your
lower body, hold
the handgrip pulse
sensor as you
exercise.

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 changed with a touch of a button. As you exer-
cise, the console will provide continuous exercise
feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using
the handgrip pulse sensor. (For information about an
optional chest pulse sensor, refer to page 20.)
The console also offers four preset workout programs.
Each program automatically changes the resistance of
the elliptical crosstrainer 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 work-
out programs that automatically change the resistance
of the elliptical crosstrainer and prompt you to vary
your pace to keep your heart rate near a target heart
rate as you exercise.
The console also features new iFIT.com interactive
technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer right in your home. Using the included
audio cable, you can connect the elliptical crosstrainer
to your home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and
play special iFIT.com CD programs (CDs are available
separately). IFIT.com CD programs automatically con-
trol the resistance of the elliptical crosstrainer 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 fea-
tures two programs designed by certified personal
trainers.
In addition, you can connect the elliptical crosstrainer
to your VCR and TV and play iFIT.com video programs
(videocassettes are available separately). Video pro-
grams offer the same benefits as iFIT.com CD pro-
grams, but add the excitement of working out with a
class and an instructor.
With the elliptical crosstrainer connected to your com-
puter, 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
CDs or videocassettes, please send an e-mail to
[e-mail], and we’ll notify you
as soon as iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are
available. Or, call toll-free 1-800-884-0620.
