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 con-
sole 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 work-
outs that change the resistance of the pedals to keep
your heart rate near target heart rate settings while
you exercise.
The console features the iFit interactive workout sys-
tem, which enables the console to accept 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 through your
workouts. iFit cards are available separately. To pur-
chase iFit cards, go to www.iFit.com or see 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, see page 16. To use a
preset workout, see page 18. To use a heart rate
workout, see page 19. To use an iFit workout, see
page 20. To use the sound system, see page 20.

tic. In addition,
make sure that
your hands are
clean. To measure
your heart rate, hold the handgrip pulse sensor
with your palms resting against the metal contacts.
Avoid moving your hands or gripping the con-
tacts tightly.
When your pulse is detected, a heart-shaped sym-
bol will flash in the display each time your heart
beats and then your heart rate will be shown. For
the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the con-
tacts for at least 15 seconds.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that
your hands are positioned as described. Be care-
ful not to move your hands excessively or to
squeeze the metal contacts tightly. For optimal
performance, clean the metal contacts using a soft
cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemi-
cals to clean the contacts.

2. Select a preset workout.
To select one of the four preset workouts, press
the Weight Loss, the Aerobic 1, the Aerobic 2, or
the Performance button on the left side of the con-
sole.
When you select a preset workout, the name of
the workout and the maximum resistance level will
appear in the display for a few seconds. A profile
of the resistance levels of the workout will also
scroll across the left side of the display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into 30 one-minute seg-
ments. One resistance level and one target pace
setting is programmed for each segment. Note:
The same resistance level and/or target pace set-
ting may be programmed for consecutive seg-
ments.
During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The flash-
ing segment of the profile represents the current
segment of the workout. The height of the flashing
segment indicates the resistance level for the cur-
rent 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 differ-
ent resistance level is programmed for the next
segment, the resistance level will appear in the
display for a few seconds to alert you. The resis-
tance of the pedals will then change.
During the workout, the target pacer coach will
prompt you to keep your pedaling pace near the
target pace setting for the current segment. When
aleft indicator lights, increase your pace; when a
right indicator lights, decrease your pace. When
the center indicator lights, maintain your current
pace. IMPORTANT: The target pacer 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 current segment
ends, the resistance of the pedals will automatical-
ly adjust to the resistance level for the next seg-
ment.
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.
4. Follow your progress with the displays.
See step 4 on page 16.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 17.
6. Turn on the fan if desired.

side of the console.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting.
A few seconds after
you select a heart rate
workout, the target
heart rate setting for the
workout will flash in the
lower right display.
During heart rate workout 1, the same target
heart rate setting will be programmed for all seg-
ments of the workout. If you have selected heart
rate workout 1, press the increase and decrease
buttons above the Heart Rate buttons to enter the
desired target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE
INTENSITY on page 22).
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 set-
ting for the workout (see EXERCISE INTENSITY
on page 22).
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor continuously during heart rate workouts; how-
ever, 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.
5. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Heart rate workout 1 is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. Note: For a shorter workout,
stop exercising or select a different workout before
the workout ends.
Heart rate workout 2 is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One target heart rate setting is
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
consecutive segments.
During the workout, the workout profile in the dis-
play will show your progress. The flashing seg-
ment of the profile represents the current segment
of the workout. The height of the flashing segment
indicates the target heart rate setting for the cur-
rent 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 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.

While you exercise, the target pacer coach will
prompt you to maintain a constant pedaling speed.
When a left indicator lights, increase your pace;
when a right indicator lights, decrease your pace.
When the center indicator lights, maintain your
current pace. IMPORTANT: The target pacer
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 clos-
er 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.
