HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL CROSSTRAINER
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS
The motion of the
pedals is deter-
mined by their
position on the
flex bars. Their
are five different
pedal positions.
To adjust the
pedals, first
loosen the knob
beneath each
pedal. Slide the
pedals forward or backward to the desired position,
and retighten the knobs. Make sure that both pedals
are in the same position.
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL
CROSSTRAINER
To mount the elliptical crosstrainer, hold the handgrip
pulse sensor and step onto the pedal that is in the low-
est position. Then, 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 move the
pedal disks in the direction shown by the arrow
below; however, for variety, you may turn the pedal
disks in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical crosstrainer, wait until the
pedals come to a complete stop. Note: 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 USE THE HANDLEBARS
The handlebars are
designed to add
upper-body exer-
cise to your work-
outs. Push and pull
the handlebars as
you exercise to
work your arms,
shoulders, and
back.
To exercise only
your lower body,
hold the handgrip
pulse sensor as
you exercise.
CAUTION:Before using the ellipti-
cal crosstrainer, read the following precau-
tions.
• Always hold the handgrip pulse sensor or the
handlebars when mounting, dismounting, or
using the elliptical crosstrainer.
• When you stop exercising, allow the pedals to
slowly come to a stop.
• The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.

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 adjusted 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 built-in handgrip pulse sensor. (For information
about an optional chest pulse sensor, refer to page 20.)
The console also offers four Smart 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 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 iFIT.com CD pro-
grams (CD’s are available separately). IFIT.com CD
programs automatically control 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 features 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
CD’s or videocassettes, send an e-mail to
[e-mail], and we’ll notify you
as soon as iFIT.com CD’s and videocassettes are
available. Or, call toll-free 1-800-884-0620.
