hands or gripping the contacts too tightly.  
Each program is divided into either 20 or 30 one-  
minute segments. One resistance setting and one  
target pace setting are programmed for each seg-  
ment. Note: The same resistance setting and/or  
target pace setting may be programmed for two or  
more consecutive segments.

dashes will appear, and then your heart rate will  
be shown. For the most accurate heart rate read-  
ing, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds.  
Note: If you continue to hold the handgrip pulse  
sensor, the display will show your heart rate for up  
to 30 seconds.  
The resistance setting and the target pace setting  
for the first segment will appear in the center of  
the display for a few seconds. The resistance set-  
ting will then be indicated by the height of the  
flashing column of the profile in the display. The  
resistance settings for the next several segments  
will be indicated by the heights of the columns to  
the right of the flashing column.  
If the display does not show your heart rate, make  
sure that your hands are positioned as described.  
Be careful not to move your hands excessively or  
to squeeze the metal contacts too tightly. For opti-  
mal performance, clean the metal contacts using a  
soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or  
chemicals to clean the contacts.  
When the first segment of the program ends, the  
resistance setting and the target pace setting for  
the second segment will appear in the center of  
the display for a few seconds to alert you. The  
entire profile will then shift one column to the left,  
and the pedals will automatically adjust to the  
resistance setting for the second segment.

Complete Row  
The Fat Blocker game requires quick thinking and fast  
reflexes. In addition to the console buttons, you will  
use the four-button game controllers on the handlebar  
to play the game. Follow the steps below to play the  
Fat Blocker game.  
blocks so that they  
form a complete  
row of black  
squares across the  
entire arena. Each  
time you complete a row of black squares, the row  
will disappear, and all blocks above will move  
downward one row.  
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con-  
sole to turn on the console.  
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a but-  
ton, the display will light.  
As you play, the blocks will fall faster and faster;  
however, your pedaling pace will affect the speed  
of the blocks—the faster you pedal, the more  
slowly the blocks will fall, giving you extra time to  
position and orient the blocks. The game will con-  
tinue until any part of a stacked block reaches the  
top of the arena.  
2. Select the Fat Blocker game.  
To select the Fat Blocker game, press the Fitness  
Games button repeatedly until the words FAT  
BLOCKER appear at the top of the display.  
When the game ends, the display will show your  
final score and the level of play that you reached.  
The display will then show the four highest scores  
recorded since the scores were reset. If desired,  
press and hold down the right button on either  
controller to reset the scores. Note: If your score is  
one of the four highest, the display will prompt you  
to enter a name consisting of three letters or dig-  
its. While the line below the first letter is flashing,  
press the up and down buttons on either controller  
to select the desired letter or digit. Next, press the  
right button on either controller and select another  
letter or digit. Repeat this process to select a third  
letter or digit. Then, press the right button on either  
controller again. The display will then show the  
four highest scores recorded since the scores  
were reset.  
3. Press a button on either controller to start  
the game.  
When you start the Fat Blocker game, a game  
arena will appear in the center of the display.  
4. Follow your progress with the display.  
While you exercise and play the Fat Blocker  
game, the corners of the display will show the  
elapsed time, the approximate number of calories  
you have burned, and your pedaling pace. In addi-  
tion, the display will show your current score and  
the game level that you have reached.  
A block composed of four or five black squares will  
slowly move downward until it reaches the bottom  
of the arena. Another block will then move down-  
ward. Blocks come in eight different shapes. As  
each block falls, you can move it to the left or right  
using the left and right buttons on the left con-  
troller. In addition, you can rotate the block coun-  
terclockwise or clockwise using the left and right  
buttons on the right controller. Once you have  
positioned and oriented a block, you can speed its  
motion to the bottom of the arena, if desired, by  
pressing the down button on either controller.  
To pause the game, press the Display button. To  
resume the game, press the Display button  
repeatedly until the words FAT BLOCKER appear  
at the top of the display, and then press a button  
on either controller.  
5. When you are finished exercising, the console  
will turn off automatically.

HOW TO PLAY THE CALORIE DESTROYER GAME  
Between the drones and the laser blaster are five  
shields. You can hide the laser blaster below a  
shield if desired. However, each time a shield is hit  
by a laser, a piece will be vaporized.  
The Calorie Destroyer game is a fast-paced game that  
pits you against a squadron of laser-firing drones. In  
addition to the console buttons, you will use the four-  
button game controllers on the handlebar to play the  
game. Follow the steps below to play the Calorie  
Destroyer game.  
Your goal is to keep the laser blaster from being  
hit and to keep any drone from reaching the bot-  
tom of the arena. If the laser blaster is hit, it will be  
disabled and another laser blaster will appear in its  
place; there are a total of four laser blasters. If you  
vaporize the entire squadron of drones, a new  
squadron will appear.  
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con-  
sole to turn on the console.  
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a but-  
ton, the display will light.  
As you play, the drones will move faster and  
faster. The game will continue until all four laser  
blasters are disabled or a drone reaches the bot-  
tom of the arena.  
2. Select the Calorie Destroyer game.  
To select the Calorie Destroyer game, press the  
Fitness Games button repeatedly until the word  
DESTROYER appears at the top of the display.  
When the game ends, the display will show the  
level of play that you reached and your final score.  
The display will then show the four highest scores  
recorded since the scores were reset. If desired,  
press and hold down the right button on either  
controller to reset the scores. Note: If your score is  
one of the four highest, the display will prompt you  
to enter a name consisting of three letters or dig-  
its. While the line below the first letter is flashing,  
press the up and down buttons on either controller  
to select the desired letter or digit. Next, press the  
right button on either controller and select another  
letter or digit. Repeat this process to select a third  
letter or digit. Then, press the right button on either  
controller again. The display will then show the  
four highest scores recorded since the scores  
were reset.  
3. Pedal to start the game.  
When you start the Calorie Destroyer game, a  
game arena will appear in the display. Three rows  
of drones will begin to move across the top of the  
arena, periodically firing their lasers downward.  
Each time the drones reach the left or right side of  
the arena, they will reverse direction and move  
downward.  
4. Follow your progress with the display.  
While you exercise and play the Calorie Destroyer  
game, the upper left corner of the display will  
show the elapsed time. In addition, the display will  
show the game level that you have reached and  
your current score.  
To pause the game, press the Display button. To  
resume the game, press the Display button  
repeatedly until the word DESTROYER appears at  
the top of the display, and then begin pedaling.  
At the bottom of the arena is a laser blaster. You  
can fire the laser blaster at the drones by pressing  
the up button on either controller. In addition, while  
you are pedaling, you can move the laser blaster  
to the left or right using the left and right buttons

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING  
Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the exercise  
cycle regularly. The exercise cycle can be cleaned  
with a soft, damp cloth. To prevent damage to the con-  
sole, keep liquids away from the console and keep the  
console out of direct sunlight.  
HOW TO ADJUST THE BELT  
If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even while  
the resistance is adjusted to the highest setting, the  
belt may need to be adjusted. To adjust the belt, the  
pedals and side shields must first be removed. Using  
an adjustable wrench, turn the right pedal counter-  
clockwise and remove it. Then, turn the left pedal  
counterclockwise and remove it. Remove the screws  
from the right side shield, and then carefully remove  
the side shields.  
TIGHTENING THE PEDALS  
For best performance, regularly tighten both pedals.  
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING  
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries  
should be replaced. See assembly step 6 on page 8  
for replacement instructions. If the console does not  
display your heart rate when you use the handgrip  
pulse sensor, see step 5 on page 13.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
Burning FatTo burn fat effectively, you must exer-  
cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of  
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your  
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. 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 number in your training  
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your  
heart rate near the middle number in your training  
zone.  
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.  
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.  
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic  
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts  
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic  
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until  
your heart rate is near the highest number in your  
training zone.  
These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise  
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a  
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,  
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for  
successful results.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
Warming up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching  
and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body  
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation  
for exercise.  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten-  
sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your  
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.  
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for  
fat burning and aerobic exercise.  
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min-  
utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During  
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not  
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer  
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you  
exercise–never hold your breath.  
Cooling down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of  
stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your  
muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the  
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-  
est ten years). The three numbers listed above your  
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is  
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the  
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest  
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.  
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. Remember, the key to success is to  
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your  
everyday life.

hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back  
foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move  
your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat  
3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles  
tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles  
tendons and ankles.  
4
4. Quadriceps Stretch  
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp  
one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your  
buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3  
times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
