This product must be grounded. If it should mal-
function or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. Plug the power cord into an appro-
priate outlet that is properly installed and ground-
ed in accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances. This product is for use on a nominal 120-
volt circuit. Important: The elliptical crosstrainer
is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.
When the elliptical exerciser is not in use, the frame
can be folded out of the way. First, lift the latch under
each pedal arm, and lift the pedal arms off the sleeves
on the crank arms.

CONSOLE DIAGRAM
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The console also features the new iFIT Interactive
Workout System. The iFIT Interactive Workout System
enables the console to accept iFIT Cards containing
workout programs designed to help you achieve specif-
ic fitness goals. For example, lose unwanted pounds
with the 8-week Weight Loss program. iFIT programs
control the resistance of the pedals while the voice of a
personal trainer coaches you and motivates you
through your workouts. One iFIT Card with three new
programs is included. Additional iFIT Cards are avail-
able separately. To purchase iFIT Cards, go to
www.iFIT.com or call the toll-free telephone num-
ber on the front cover of this manual. iFIT Cards
are also available at select stores.
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
and the incline of the ramp with the touch of a button.

exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart
rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.
The console also offers twenty preset programs. Each
program automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your
pedaling pace as it guides you through an effective
workout.
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player
to the console’s stereo sound system and listen to
your favorite music or audio books while you exercise.
The console also offers two custom programs that
allow you to create your own workout programs and
store them in memory for future use.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 14. To use a preset
program, see page 16. To create a custom
program, see page 17. To use a custom program,

current segment.
When an upward-pointing arrow or the prompt
SPEED UP appears next to the pace information
in the display (see step 4 on page 17), increase
your pace. When a downward-pointing arrow or
the prompt SLOW DOWN appears, decrease
your pace. When no arrow or prompt appears,
maintain your current pace. Important: The tar-
get pace settings are intended only to provide
motivation. Make sure to pedal at a pace that
is comfortable for you.
Select a custom program.

To select a custom program, press the Custom
Programs button repeatedly until the words CUS-
TOM 1 or CUSTOM 2 appear in the display.
When you select a custom program, the name of
the program, the program time, and the maximum
pace and resistance level will appear in the dis-
play for a few seconds. A profile of the resistance
levels of the program will then appear in the dis-
play.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override
the setting by pressing the OneTouch Resistance
buttons. However, when the current segment
ends, the pedals will automatically adjust to the
resistance level for the next segment.
Profile
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series
of tones will sound and the program will pause. To
restart the program, simply resume pedaling. The
program will continue until the last segment of the
profile flashes and the last segment of the pro-
gram ends.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
3
Change the program if desired.
4
Each custom program is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One resistance level and one
target pace setting are programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same resistance level and/or tar-
get pace setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.
If desired, you can change the program while
using it. To change the resistance level for the
current segment, simply press the OneTouch
Resistance buttons. At the end of the current seg-
ment, the new resistance level will be stored in
memory. To change the target pace for the cur-
rent segment, simply change your pedaling
pace. At the end of the current segment, your
pace will be stored in memory. You can continue
exercising and changing the program for up to
thirty minutes.
During the program, the program profile will show
your progress. The flashing segment of the profile
represents the current segment of the program.
The height of the flashing segment indicates the
resistance level for the current segment. At the
end of each segment of the program, a series of
tones will sound and the next segment of the pro-
file will begin to flash. If a different resistance
level is programmed for the next segment, the
resistance level will appear in the display for a
few seconds to alert you. The resistance of the
pedals will then change.

If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override
the setting by pressing the OneTouch Resistance
buttons. However, 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.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
5
Heart rate program 1 is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. Note: For a shorter workout,
stop exercising or select a different program
before the program ends.
Heart rate program 2 is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One target heart rate setting is
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
consecutive segments.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series
of tones will sound and the program will pause. To
restart the program, simply resume pedaling. The
program will continue until the last segment of the
program ends.
During the program, the program profile in the
display will show your progress. The flashing seg-
ment of the profile represents the current seg-
ment of the program. The height of the flashing
segment indicates the target heart rate setting for
the current segment. At the end of each segment
of the program, a series of tones will sound and
the next segment of the profile will begin to flash.
Follow your progress with the display.

During heart rate program 1, the display will
show a graphic that represents a heartbeat each
time your heartbeat is detected, the elapsed time,
and the distance that you have pedaled. During
heart rate program 2, the display will show the
program profile, the time remaining in the pro-
gram, and the distance that you have pedaled.
Profile
To view the profile, your pedaling pace, and the
distance you have pedaled, press the Display but-
ton. Note: The words SPEED UP or SLOW
DOWN may appear in the display to prompt you
to keep your pedaling pace near the target pace
setting for the current segment.
During both programs, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the target heart rate
setting for the current segment of the program. If
your heart rate is too far below or above the tar-
get heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals
will automatically increase or decrease to bring
your heart rate closer to the target heart rate set-
ting. Each time the resistance changes, the resis-
tance level will appear in the display for a few
seconds to alert you.
To view the time remaining in the program and the
distance pedaled, press the Display button. Press

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.
