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 1-800-735-0768.  
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 four Smart 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.

shown by the  
arrows in the  
small display. To  
pedal at the target  
pace, simply  
increase or decrease your pace until there is one  
arrow pointing to each segment of the indicator  
bar (see the drawing above). At the end of each  
period, the number of arrows will change if a dif-  
ferent target pace is programmed for the next  
period. When the number of arrows changes,  
change your pace until there is again one arrow  
pointing to each segment of the indicator bar.  
Important: The target pace is intended only to  
provide a goal. Your actual pace may be slow-  
er than the target pace, especially during the  
first few months of your exercise program.  
Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfort-  
able for you.  
HOW TO USE A SMART PROGRAM

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING  
Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise cycle reg-  
ularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.  
• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the  
metal contacts for about 30 seconds.  
To clean the exercise cycle, 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.  
• 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.  
HOW TO MOVE THE EXERCISE CYCLE  
BATTERY REPLACEMENT  
To move the exercise cycle, stand in front of the exer-  
cise cycle, hold the handlebars, and place one foot on  
the front stabilizer. Pull the handlebars until the exer-  
cise cycle can be moved on the front wheels.  
Carefully move the exercise cycle to the desired loca-  
tion and then lower it.  
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries  
should be replaced; most console problems are the  
result of low batteries. Refer to assembly step 6 on  
page 7 for replacement instructions.  
HOW TO LEVEL THE EXERCISE CYCLE  
After the exer-  
cise cycle has  
been moved to  
the location  
where it will be  
used, make sure  
that both ends of  
Handlebars  
Leveling  
Foot  
front stabilizer  
are touching the  
floor. If the exer-  
cise cycle rocks  
slightly during use, turn one or both of the leveling  
feet under the front stabilizer until the rocking motion  
is eliminated.

HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING  
Wheel  
• 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.

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.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES  
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.  
Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.  
1
1. Toe Touch Stretch  
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from  
your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach  
down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then  
relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and  
back.  
2
2. Hamstring Stretch  
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot  
toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg.  
Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then  
relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower  
back and groin.  
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch  
3
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your  
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 ten-  
dons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles ten-  
dons 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 but-  
tocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times  
for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.  
5. Inner Thigh Stretch  
5
Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.  
Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15  
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip  
muscles.
