iFIT.com CD and video programs (iFIT.com CDs and
videocassettes are available separately). iFIT.com CD
and video programs automatically control the resis-
tance 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 video-
cassettes, call toll-free 1-888-533-1333.
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 pedal, the console
will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can
even measure your heart rate using the built-in hand-
grip pulse sensor.
With the exercise cycle connected to your computer,
you can also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and
access programs directly from the internet. Explore
www.iFIT.com for more information.
In addition, the console offers six preset programs.
Each 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.
To use the manual mode of the console, see page
11. To use a preset program, see page 13. To use
an iFIT.com CD or video program, see page 17. To

alert you when the resistance of the pedals and/or
the pace guide is about to change.
To use iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, the exercise
cycle must be connected to your portable CD player,
portable stereo, home stereo, computer with CD play-
er, or VCR. See HOW TO CONNECT YOUR CD
PLAYER, VCR, OR COMPUTER on pages 14 to 16.
To purchase iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes, call

heard:
Follow the steps below to use an iFIT.com CD or
video program.
• Make sure that the letters “iFIT” appear in

When you start the program, an on-screen count-
down will begin.
Our Web site at www.iFIT.com allows you to play
iFIT.com programs directly from the internet. To use
programs from our Web site, the exercise cycle must
be connected to your home computer. See HOW TO
CONNECT YOUR COMPUTER on page 15. In addi-
tion, you must have an internet connection and an
internet service provider. A list of specific system
requirements is found on our Web site.
Return to the exercise cycle and begin
pedaling.
When the on-screen countdown ends, the pro-
gram will begin. The program will function in
almost the same way as a preset program (see
steps 3 and 4 on page 13). However, an electronic
“chirping” sound will alert you when the resistance
of the pedals and/or the pace guide is about to
change.
Follow the steps below to use a program from our
Web site.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise cycle reg-
ularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
HOW TO LEVEL THE EXERCISE CYCLE

To move the exercise cycle, stand behind it and lift
the frame in the location shown below. To reduce the
risk of injury, bend your legs and keep your back
straight. As you lift the frame, make sure to lift

ly during use, turn one or both of the leveling feet
under the front stabilizer until the rocking motion is
eliminated.
HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
• Avoid moving your hands while using the handgrip
pulse sensor. Excessive movement may interfere
with heart rate readings.
• Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
Wheel
• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the
metal contacts for about 30 seconds.

• 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 alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the displays on the console become dim, the batter-
ies should be replaced. Most console problems are
the result of low batteries. See assembly step 9 on
page 8 for replacement instructions.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
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. For maxi-
mum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise
until your heart rate is near the middle number in your
training zone as you exercise.
WARNING:
Before beginning
this or any exercise program, consult your
physician. This is especially important for
persons over the age of 35 or persons with
pre-existing health problems.
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.
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.
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.
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; the highest num-
ber is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exer-
cise.
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. Remember, the key to success is make exer-
cise 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.
