FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The console also offers two heart rate programs. The
heart rate profile program allows you to enter a maxi-
mum heart rate setting and then guides you through an
effective workout by automatically changing the resis-
tance of the pedals and prompting you to maintain a
steady pedaling pace.
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable.
When you select the manual mode of the console, you
can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch The heart rate control program allows you to enter a
of a button. As you exercise, the console will display
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure
your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.
target heart rate and then changes the resistance of
the pedals and prompts you to vary your pace to keep
your heart rate near the target heart rate while you
exercise.
The console also features six interactive cross training
programs designed to help you to burn calories and
enhance your cardiovascular system while toning and
strengthening your muscles. The cross training pro-
grams automatically control the resistance of the ped-
als and prompt you to perform a variety of strength
exercises during your workout. Choose an upper body,
lower body, or total body cross training program to
focus your workout. Note: The strength exercises
require the use of dumbbells and an inflatable exercise
ball (not included). To purchase dumbbells or an
exercise ball, call the toll-free telephone number
on the front cover of this manual.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 13. To use a cross training
program, see page 14. To use a heart rate program,
see page 16.
Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face
of the console, remove the plastic.

Each program is divided into 25, 30, or 45 one-
minute segments. One resistance setting and one
target rpm (revolutions per minute) setting are
programmed for most segments. (Note: The same
resistance and/or target rpm setting may be pro-
grammed for two or more consecutive segments.)
During other segments, the console will prompt you
to perform strength exercises.

When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash and
a series of tones will sound. If the resistance
and/or target rpm is about to change, the resis-
tance setting and/or the target rpm setting will
appear in the display to alert you.

When the first segment is completed, all resis-
tance settings will move one column to the left.
The resistance setting for the second segment
will then appear in the flashing Current Segment
column and the pedals will automatically adjust to
the resistance setting for the second segment.
Note: If all the indicators in the Current Segment
column are lit, the resistance settings may move
downward so that only the highest indicators
appear in the matrix.
Next, the display will show the recommended
number of repetitions for the first strength exer-
cise.
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep
your pedaling pace near the target rpm setting for
the current segment. When the words PEDAL
FASTER appear in the display, increase your
pace. When the words PEDAL SLOWER appear
in the display, decrease your pace. When the
words PEDALING IN RANGE appear, maintain
your current pace.
Step off the elliptical exerciser and prepare to
begin the first strength exercise. Every few sec-
onds, the console will sound a tone; when a tone
sounds, perform one repetition of the exercise.
Exercise with a slow, steady motion; do not per-
form more than one repetition each time a tone
sounds. The display will count down the repeti-
tions as you perform them.
Important: The target rpm settings are intend-
ed only to provide motivation. Your actual
pace may be slower than the target rpm set-
tings. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is
comfortable for you.
Note: Refer to the accompanying exercise chart
to see the correct form for each exercise. When
performing lunges, alternate legs with each repe-
tition. When performing dumbbell rows, perform
half the repetitions with your right arm and half
the repetitions with your left arm. The strength
exercises require the use of dumbbells and an
inflatable exercise ball (not included). To pur-
chase dumbbells or an exercise ball, call the
toll-free telephone number on the front cover
of this manual.
If the resistance setting for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the Resistance decrease or
increase buttons. Every few times you press a
Resistance button, an additional indicator will
appear or disappear in the Current Segment col-
umn; if any of the columns to the right of the
Current Segment column have the same number
of lit indicators as the Current Segment column,
an additional indicator may appear or disappear
in those columns as well. Important: When the
current segment of the program ends, the ped-
als will automatically adjust to the resistance
setting for the next segment.
Continue the cross training program.
5
When you have performed the recommended
number of repetitions, the words START PEDAL-
ING will appear in the display. To continue the
cross training program, step onto the exerciser
and start pedaling. The pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance setting for the next seg-
ment.
To stop the program at any time, stop pedaling.
The time will begin to flash in the display. To
restart the program, simply resume pedaling.
Perform the first strength exercise when
prompted.
4
When the first strength exercise segment begins,
the name of the first strength exercise will appear
in the display for a few seconds. The time will
pause and flash in the display.
The program will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. Then, the words PROGRAM
DONE will appear in the display.

quently for the program to operate properly. Each
time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, keep
your hands on the metal contacts for at least
30 seconds. When you are not holding the hand-
grip pulse sensor, the letters PLS will appear in
the display instead of your heart rate.
To select a heart rate program, press the
Programs button repeatedly until HEART RATE
PROFILE or HEART RATE CONTROL appears in
the display.
If you select the heart rate profile program, the
maximum target heart rate setting will flash and a
profile of the target heart rate settings for the pro-
gram will scroll across the center of the display.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Heart rate profile program—This program is
divided into 30 one-minute segments. One target
heart rate setting is programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same target heart rate setting
may be programmed for two or more consecutive
segments.
The target heart rate setting for the first segment
will be shown in the flashing Current Segment
column of the display. The target heart rate set-
tings for the next several segments will be shown
in the columns to the right.
If you select the heart rate control program,
the target heart rate setting for the program will
flash in the display.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash, a
series of tones will sound, and all target heart
rate settings 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.

The program will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. Then, the words PROGRAM
DONE will appear in the display.
Important: Make sure to exercise at a pace
that is comfortable for you. Note: You can man-
ually override the resistance settings; however,
you may not maintain the target heart rate. Also,
when the console compares your heart rate to the
target heart rate setting, the resistance of the
pedals may automatically increase or decrease to
bring your heart rate closer to the target heart
rate setting.
Heart rate control program—The same target
heart rate is programmed for all segments of this
program.
Both heart rate programs—As you pedal, the
console will regularly compare your heart rate to
the target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is
too far below or above the target heart rate, the
resistance of the pedals will automatically increase
or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the
target heart rate.
Follow your progress with the display.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor
during use, see HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER on page 10.
To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and
a small amount of mild soap. Important: To avoid
damage to the console, keep liquids away from
the console and keep the console out of direct
sunlight.
HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
• Avoid moving your hands while using the handgrip
pulse sensor. Excessive movement may interfere
with heart rate readings.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. See assembly step 7 on page
7 for replacement instructions.
• Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the
metal contacts for about 30 seconds.
HOW TO ELIMINATE FLEXING IN THE CENTER OF
THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
• For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse sen-
sor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts
can be cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alco-
hol, abrasives, or chemicals.
If the elliptical exer-
ciser flexes in the
center during use,
turn the base foot
until the flexing is
eliminated.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING:
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 in your training zone as you exercise.
Before beginning this or any exercise pro-
gram, consult your physician. This is espe-
cially important for persons over the age of 35
or persons with pre-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 determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle num-
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exer-
cise 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 as you exercise.
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
burning, 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. Note: During the first few weeks of your exer-
cise program, do not keep your heart rate in your
training zone for longer than 20 minutes.
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 lower two numbers are recommended heart rates
for fat burning; the highest number is the recommend-
ed heart rate for aerobic exercise.
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.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week
if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
