Handbbar
PedaUs
that you move the pedal disks in the direction
shown by the arrow; however, for variety, you can
turn the pedal disks in the opposite direction.
To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-
als come to a complete stop, Note: The elliptical
exerciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals
wilt continue to move until the flywheeJ stops.
When the pedals are stationary, step off the highest
pedal first, Then, step off the lowest pedal,
HOW TO USE THE UPPER BODY ARMS
To add upper-
body exercise
to your work-
outs, push and
pull the upper
body arms as
you exercise,
To exercise
only your lower
body, hold the
handlebar as
you exercise,

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL CUSHIONS
The feel of the
pedals is affect-
ed by the posi-
tions of the
pedal cushions,
The farther back
the pedal cush-
ions are placed,
the firmer the
pedals wiii feel,
To move the
pedal cushions,
lift the pedal
arms and slide
the pedal cush-

HOW TO MOVE AND LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER
Stand in front of
the elliptical
exerciser, hold
the handlebar
firmly, and tip
the elliptical
exerciser until it
can be moved
on the front
wheels,
Carefully move
the elliptical
exerciser to 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 pedals can be changed
with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the con-
sob will provide continuous exercise feedback. You
can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip
pulse sensor. Note: See page 21 for information
about an optiona! chest pulse sensor.
The console also offers six preset programs. Each pro-
gram automatically changes the resistance of the ped-
als 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 pro-
grams that automatically change the resistance of the
pedals and prompt you to vary your pace to keep your
heart rate near a target heart rate as you exercise.
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 the included
audio cable, you can connect the elliptical exerciser to
your home stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR
and play special iFIT.com CD and video programs
(iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are available sepa-
rately), iFIT.com CD and video programs automatically
control the resistance of the pedals 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, To purchase iFIT.com CDs
and videocassettes, cal toil-free 1-877-994-4999.
With the elliptical exerciser connected to your comput-
er, you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com
and access programs directly from the intemet.

Press the Program Start button or begin
pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into several time seg=
ments of different lengths, One resistance setting
is programmed for each segment, (The same
resistance setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments,)
The resistance
setting for the first Current Segment
segment will be

Heart rate program 1 is designed to keep your heart
rate between 60% and 85% of your estimated maxi-

mum heart rate is estimated by subtracting your age

To use a heart rate program, you must hold the
handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest
pulse sensor, if you use the handgrip pulse sen-
sor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrips con-
tinuously during the program, However, you
should hold the handgrips frequently for the pro-
gram to operate properly, Each time you hold

Begin pedaling.
Each heart rate program is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One target heart rate is pro-
grammed for each segment. Note: The same tar-
get heart rate may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments, if heart rate pro-
gram 2 is sebcted, the same target heart rate is
programmed for aHsegments.
If heart rate pro-
gram 1 is select- Current Segment
ed, the target
heart rate setting
for the first seg-
ment wHUbe
shown in the
flashing Current
Segment coUumn
of the matrix. The target heart rate settings for the
next seven segments wHUbe shown in the
coUumns to the right. When onUythree seconds
remain in the first segment of the program, both
the Current Segment coUumnand the coUumnto
the right wHUflash, a series of tones wHUsound,
and the time wHUflash in the right dispUay.When
the first segment ends, all target heart rate set-
tings will move one column to the left, The target
heart rate setting for the second segment will
then be shown in the flashing Current Segment
column.
if heart rate program 2 is seJected, the same
target heart rate is programmed for all segments;
therefore, the target heart rate settings will not be
shown in the matrix. When only three seconds
remain in the first segment of the program, a
series of tones will sound and the time will flash
in the right display.
As you pedal, the console will regularly compare
your heart rate to the target heart rate. If your
heart rate is too far below or above the target
heart rate, the resistance of the pedals will auto-
matically increase or decrease to being your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate.
The pace guide RPM

stant pace during
the program, When
one of the indica-
tors on the left side
of the pace guide
lights, increase
your pace; when
one of the indica-
tors on the right
side lights, decrease your pace, When the center
indicator lights, maintain your current pace,

The program wiil continue until no time remains
in the right display,
Note: During the program, you can manually
change the resistance setting, if desired, by
pressing the Resistance buttons, However, when
the console compares your heart rate to the tar-
get heart rate, the resistance may automatically
change, if you stop pedaling for several seconds,
a tone will sound and the program will pause, To
