FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
You can also use four calorie goal programs designed
to help you burn 300 or 400 calories in 25, 30, or 45-
minute workouts. The calorie goal programs automati-
cally control the resistance of the pedals and prompt
you to increase or decrease your pace while counting
the calories you burn.
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 console also offers a high performance program

and a heart rate control program. The high performance
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
heart rate control program changes the resistance of
the pedals and prompts you maintain a steady pace to
keep your heart rate near a target heart rate while you
exercise.
The console also features five interactive cross train-
ing programs designed to help you to burn calories

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.
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 ellip-
tical exerciser will automatically adjust to the
resistance setting for the next segment.
The resistance setting
for the first segment
will be shown in the
flashing Current

regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
drive belt may need to be adjusted. To adjust the
drive belt, first remove the screws from the left and
right side shields (not shown). Gently pull the side
shields apart and remove the convenience tray.
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.
Next, locate the Idler Screw (68) and loosen it one
half turn. Step onto the elliptical exerciser and move
the pedals. If the pedals continue to slip, turn the Idler
Screw another half turn and test the pedals again.
Continue in this way until the pedals no longer slip.
Then, replace the convenience tray and reattach the
side shields.
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. See assembly step 12 on page
11 for replacement instructions.
HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console does not display your heart rate when
you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, or if the displayed
heart rate appears to be too high or too low, see step

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING:
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide.
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 chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning, maximum fat burning, and cardiovascular
(aerobic) exercise.
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.
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
Each workout should include the following three parts:
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 recom-
mended heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the
highest number is the recommended heart rate for
aerobic exercise.
Warming Up—Begin each workout with 5 to 10 min-
utes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-
up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and
circulation in preparation for exercise.
Training Zone Exercise—Each workout should con-
sist of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart
rate in your training zone. Note: During the first few
weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your
heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 min-
utes.
Fat Burning—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-
cise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained
period of time. During the first few minutes of exer-
cise, your body uses easily accessible carbohydrate
calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes of
exercise does your body begin to use stored fat calo-
ries for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the
intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near
the lowest number in your training zone as you exer-
cise. For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of
your exercise until your heart rate is near the middle
number in your training zone as you exercise.
Cooling Down—End each workout with 5 to 10 min-
utes of stretching. This will increase the flexibility of
your muscles and will help to prevent post-exercise
problems.
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. Schedule your workouts for the
time of day when your energy level is the highest.
After a few months of regular exercise, you may com-
plete up to five workouts each week, if desired.
Remember, the key to success is make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aero-
bic.” 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.
CARDIOVASCULAR TRAINING GUIDELINES
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
22

STRENGTH TRAINING GUIDELINES
To increase the size and strength of your muscles,
you must work your muscles at a level close to their
maximum capacity. Your muscles will adapt and grow
as you progressively increase the amount of weight
that you use. You can tone your muscles by working
them at a moderate percentage of their capacity. The
proper amount of weight to use for each strength exer-
cise depends on you—you must gauge your limits and
select an appropriate amount of weight.
During strength exercises, you must maintain proper
form for the best results. Maintaining proper form
involves moving through the full range of motion for
each exercise and moving only the appropriate parts
of the body. Exercising in an uncontrolled manner will
reduce the benefits of strength exercises. On the
exercise chart accompanying this manual are pho-
tographs showing the correct form for several strength
exercises.
It is important to avoid overdoing it during the first few
months of your exercise program. Progress at your
own pace and be sensitive to your body’s signals. If
you experience pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and cool down. Find out
what is wrong before continuing. Remember that ade-
quate rest and a proper diet are important factors in
any exercise program.
Perform each repetition of each strength exercise
smoothly and without pausing. The exertion phase of
each repetition should last only about half as long as
the return phase. Proper breathing is also important.
Exhale during the exertion phase of each repetition
and inhale during the return phase—never hold your
breath.
