designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and
effective. When the manual mode of the console is
selected, the resistance of the pedals can be changed
with the touch of a button. As you pedal, the console
will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can
even measure your heart rate using the built-in hand-
grip pulse sensor.
In addition, the console offers six preset programs.
Each program automatically changes the resistance of
the pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease
your pace as it guides you through an effective workout.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-
ogy.Having iFIT.com interactive technology is like hav-
ing a personal trainer in your home. Using a stereo
audio cable (available at electronics stores), you can

iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com CDs and
videocassettes are available separately). iFIT.com CD
and video programs automatically control the resis-
tance of the pedals and prompt you to vary your pace

of your workout. High-energy music provides added
motivation. Topurchase iFIT.com CDs and video-
