FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE  
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE STEPPER  
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 stepping speed can be changed with the  
touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will  
display continuous exercise feedback. You can even  
measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sen-  
sor or the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 15).

mode or the  
iFIT.com mode is  
selected, the matrix  
will display a stair-  
case. As you exer-  
cise, the indicators in the staircase will light, one  
at a time, until the entire staircase is lit. This cycle  
will then repeat.  
Begin stepping to activate the console.

The stepper requires no batteries or external  
power source. Power is supplied to the step-  
per by a generator while you are stepping. To  
activate the console, begin stepping. After a few  
seconds, the console displays will light. A tone  
will then sound and the console will be ready for  
use.  
Select the manual mode.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH  
56  
For the console to display correct feedback, the pedals  
must move at least five inches with each step. If the  
console displays incorrect feedback when the pedals  
are moved five inches or more, the Reed Switch (56)  
should be adjusted.  
46

Turn the Flywheel (46) until the Magnet (32) is aligned  
with the Reed Switch (56) (refer to the inset drawing).  
Loosen the indicated Screw (52). Slide the Reed  
Switch slightly closer to the Flywheel, and retighten  
the Screw. Make sure that the Magnet will not hit  
the Reed Switch when the Flywheel turns. Repeat  
until the console displays correct feedback.

Carefully slide the Right Side Shield (8) back onto the  
stepper. Reattach the three M4 x 38mm Screws (64)  
and the two M4 x 25mm Screws (65). Reattach the  
Pedal Bracket (13).

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
WARNING:  
Fat Burning  
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-  
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.  
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body  
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-  
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does  
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If  
your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your  
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num-  
ber or the middle number in your training zone as you  
exercise.  
• Before beginning this or any exercise pro-  
gram, consult your physician. This is espe-  
cially important for individuals over the  
age of 35 or individuals withpre-existing  
health problems.  
• 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 deter-  
mining heart rate trends in general.  
Aerobic Exercise  
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-  
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise  
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for  
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand  
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the  
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,  
adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart  
rate is near the highest number in your training zone.  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your  
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and  
adequate rest are essential for successful results.  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the  
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.  
The proper intensity level can be found by using your  
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-  
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burn-  
ing, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
Each workout should include the following three parts:  
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching  
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your  
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-  
ration for exercise.  
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-  
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training  
zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise pro-  
gram, do not keep your heart rate in your training  
zone for longer than 20 minutes.)  
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This  
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will  
help to prevent post-exercise problems.  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the  
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above  
your age; the three numbers are your “training zone.”  
The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for  
fat burning; the middle number is the recommended  
heart rate for maximum fat burning; and the highest  
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three work-  
outs each week, with at least one day of rest between  
workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you  
may complete up to five workouts each week, if  
desired. The key to success is make exercise a regu-  
lar and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
