HOW TO OPERATE THE EXERCISE CYCLE
HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT POST
For effective exer-

are in the lowest
position. To adjust
the height of the
seat, first turn the
indicated knob counterclockwise two or three turns to
loosen it (if the knob is not loosened enough, it may
scratch the seat post). Next, pull the knob, slide the
seat post to the desired height, and then release the

knob is not loos-
ened enough, it
may scratch the seat bracket). Next, pull the knob,
slide the seat to the desired position, and then release
the knob. Move the seat bracket orward and back-
ward slightly until the pin on the knob snaps into
one o the holes in the seat bracket. Then, turn the
knob clockwise until it is tight.
HOW TO ADJUST THE UPRIGHT

adjusted to the
height that is the
most comfortable for
you. To adjust the

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 built-
in 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 effec-
tive workout.
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 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 work-
out. 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 (video-
cassettes 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 in ormation about the availability o iFIT.com
CD’s or videocassettes, send an e-mail to work-
[e-mail], and we’ll noti y you as soon as
iFIT.com CD’s and videocassettes are available.
