CONSOLE DIAGRAM  
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE  
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  
with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the con-  
sole will provide continuous exercise feedback. You  
can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip  
pulse sensor.  
The console also offers eighteen 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 effec-  
tive workout.  
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player  
to the console’s stereo sound system and listen to  
your favorite workout music or audio books while you  
exercise.  
In addition, the console features two heart rate pro-  
grams that change the resistance of the pedals to  
keep your heart rate near target heart rate settings  
while you exercise.  
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the  
steps beginning on page 10. To use a preset  
program, see page 12. To use a heart rate program,

Profile  
Arrow  
A few seconds after you select a heart rate pro-  
gram, the words ENTER HEART RATE will  
appear in the display and the number 110 will  
begin to flash.  
During heart rate program 1, the same target  
heart rate setting will be programmed for all seg-  
ments of the program. If you have selected heart  
rate program 1, press the increase and decrease  
buttons below the Odometer button to enter the  
desired target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE  
INTENSITY on page 16).  
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 setting will appear in the display for a few  
seconds to alert you.  
During heart rate program 2, different target  
heart rate settings will be programmed for differ-  
ent segments of the program. If you have select-  
ed heart rate program 2, press the increase and  
decrease buttons below the Odometer button to  
enter the desired maximum target heart rate set-  
ting for the program (see EXERCISE INTENSITY  
on page 16).  
While you exercise, you will be prompted to  
maintain a constant pedaling pace. If an upward-  
pointing arrow appears in the display (see the  
drawing above), increase your pace. If a down-  
ward-pointing arrow appears, decrease your  
pace. When no arrow appears, maintain your cur-  
rent pace.  
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse  
sensor continuously during heart rate programs;  
however, you should hold the handgrip pulse sen-  
sor frequently for the programs to operate proper-  
ly. Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sen-  
sor, keep your hands on the metal contacts  
for at least 30 seconds.  
If the resistance setting 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.

cycle can be moved on the front wheels. Carefully  
move the exercise cycle to the desired location and  
then lower it.  
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 5 on page  
5 for replacement instructions.  
HOW TO LEVEL THE EXERCISE CYCLE  
After the exer-  
cise cycle has  
been moved to  
the location  
Wheel  
where it will be  
used, make sure  
that both ends of  
the front stabiliz-  
er are touching  
the floor. If the

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.
