HOW TO OPERATE THE STEPPER
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a variety of features to
help you get the most from your workouts.
When the manual mode of the console is selected, the
stepping speed can be changed with a touch of a but-
ton. As you exercise, the program display, the training
zone display, and the two LED displays will provide
continuous exercise feedback.
n addition, the console offers six workout programs.
Each program automatically changes the stepping
speed as it guides you through an effective workout.
The console also features new iF T.com interactive
technology. F T.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer right in your home. Using a stereo audio
cable (available at electronics stores), you can connect
the elliptical crosstrainer to your home stereo, portable
stereo, or computer and play special iF T.com CD pro-
grams (CDʼs are available separately). F T.com CD
programs automatically control the stepping speed as
a personal trainer coaches you through every step of
your workout. High-energy music provides added moti-
vation. Each CD features two programs designed by
certified personal trainers.
n addition, you can connect the stepper to your VCR
and TV and play iF T.com video programs (videocas-
settes are available separately). Video programs offer
the same benefits as iF T.com CD programs, but add
the excitement of working out with a class and an
instructor—the hottest new trend at health clubs.
With the stepper connected to your computer, you can
also go to our new Web site at www.iF T.com and
access audio programs and video programs directly
from the internet.
To purchase iFIT.com CDʼs and videocassettes,
call toll-free 1-800-735-0768.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE STEPPER
Hold the hand-
grips or the han-
dlebars and step
onto the pedals.
Begin stepping,
alternately press-
ing down the
right and left
pedals with a
smooth, continu-
ous motion.
Because the
pedals move
independently of
each other, you
must maintain a
continuous
motion or both
pedals will sink to
the floor. Change the height of your step or adjust the
stepping speed until you can comfortably maintain a
continuous motion (see step 3 on page 8).
As you step, you can exercise your upper leg muscles
by keeping your feet flat on the pedals. To focus on
your calf muscles, rise on your toes as you step.
Stand erect or lean forward slightly as you exercise.
Always keep your back straight in order to avoid
injury.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
The innovative stepper requires no batteries or
external power source. nstead, power is supplied by
a built-in generator as you step. Note: To operate the
SPEED buttons, you must step at a speed of 25 steps
per minute or faster for a minimum of 2 minutes.
Follow the steps below to use the manual mode.
Begin stepping.
To activate the console, simply begin stepping.
After a moment, the entire display will light for
two seconds; the console will then be ready for
use.
Select the manual mode.
When the console
is activated, the
manual mode will
be selected and
the manual indi-
cator will light. f
you have select-
ed a workout program or the iF T.com mode,
press the SELECT WORKOUT button repeatedly
until the manual indicator lights.
Adjust your stepping speed as desired.
As you exercise,
adjust your step-
ping speed by
pressing the
SPEED buttons.
Each time a but-
ton is pressed,
the speed setting will change by one step per
minute; if a button is held down, the setting will
change in increments of five steps per minute.
The speed setting can be from 25 to 120 steps
per minute.
When the SPEED “–” button is pressed, the
resistance of the pedals will increase and your
stepping speed will decrease; when the “+” but-
ton is pressed, the resistance will decrease and
you will have to increase your stepping speed to
prevent both pedals from sinking to the floor.
Note: After a SPEED button is pressed, it may
take several seconds for the selected speed set-
ting to be reached. You must step at a speed of
25 steps per minute or faster for the SPEED
buttons to operate.
Note: When you finish exercising, you must
press the SPEED “+” button to adjust the
speed to the maximum setting. Otherwise, it
will be difficult to step at a speed of 25 steps
per minute in order to activate the SPEED
buttons the next time the stepper is used.
Watch your progress with the program display,
the training zone display, and the LED displays.
The program
display—When
the manual mode
or the iF T.com
mode is selected,
the program dis-
play will show a tri-
angle representing a hill. As you exercise, the tri-
angle will disappear except for one flashing indi-
cator. The indicators in the triangle will then light
in sequence until the entire triangle is again lit.
Each time the entire triangle lights, you have com-
pleted 200 steps.
The training zone
display—The train-
ing zone display
will show the
approximate inten-
sity level of your
exercise. For example, if three or four indicators
in the display are lit, the display shows that your
intensity level is ideal for fat burning.
The left LED dis-
play—As you exer-
cise, the left display
will show the
elapsed time, the
total number of
steps you have
completed, and the approximate number of vertical
feet you have stepped. The display will change
from one number to the next every seven seconds,
as shown by the indicators around the display.
Note: When a workout program is selected, the
left display will show the time remaining in the
program instead of the elapsed time.

The right LED
display—As you
exercise, the right
display will show
your current step-
ping speed, in
steps per minute,
and the approximate numbers of calories and fat
calories you have burned (see FAT BURN NG on
page 17). The display will change from one num-
ber to the next every seven seconds, as shown by
the indicators around the display.
Note: If the pedals are not moved for several sec-
onds, the console will automatically turn off.

HOW TO USE WORKOUT PROGRAMS
The stepper requires no batteries or external power
source. nstead, power is supplied by a generator as
you step. Note: To operate the SPEED buttons, you
must step at a speed of 25 steps per minute or faster.
Follow the steps below to use a workout program.
Begin stepping to activate the console.
To activate the console, simply begin stepping.
After a moment, the entire display will light for
two seconds; the console will then be ready for
use.
Select one of the six workout programs.
When the console
is activated, the
manual mode will
be selected and
the manual indica-
tor will light. To
select one of the
workout programs,
press the SELECT WORKOUT button repeatedly
until one of the six program indicators lights. Note:
A moment after a program is selected, the pro-
gram display will show the first six speed settings
of the program (see step 3).
Begin stepping to start the program.
Each program is
divided into sever-
al individual time
periods. Each peri-
od is one, two,
three, or four min-
utes long. One
speed setting is
programmed for each period. The speed setting
for the first period will be shown in the flashing
Current Period column of the program display.
The speed settings for the next five periods will be
shown in the five columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first period
of the program, both the Current Period column
and the column to the right will flash, a series of
tones will sound, and all speed settings will move
one column to the left. The speed setting for the
second period will then be shown in the flashing
Current Period column and the stepper will auto-
matically adjust to the second speed setting. The
program will continue in this way until the speed
setting for the last period is shown in the Current
Period column and the last period ends.
Note: f the speed setting for the current period is
too fast or too slow, you can manually override
the setting by pressing the SPEED buttons. Every
few times a button is pressed, an additional indi-
cator will light or darken in the Current Period col-
umn. ( f any of the columns to the right of the
Current Period column have the same number of
lit indicators as the Current Period column, an
additional indicator may light or darken in those
columns as well.) f you manually override the
speed setting, when the next period of the pro-
gram begins, the stepper will automatically adjust
to the speed setting for the next period.
Note: f you stop stepping for several seconds,
the console will automatically turn off. To reacti-
vate the console, simply resume stepping.
Watch your progress with the program display,
the training zone display, and the LED displays.
Refer to step 4 on page 8.
