FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The revolutionary console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable. When you use the manual mode of the
console, you can change the resistance of the pedals
with the touch of a button. While you exercise, the
console will display continuous exercise feedback. You
can also measure your heart rate using the handgrip
pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor.
In addition, the console offers twenty trainer workouts.
Each workout automatically changes the resistance of
the pedals as it guides you through an effective work-
out.
The console also offers four heart rate workouts that
change the resistance of the pedals to keep your heart
rate near a target heart rate while you exercise.
The console features the iFit Interactive Workout
System, which enables the console to accept iFit
cards containing workouts designed to help you
achieve specific fitness goals. For example, lose
unwanted pounds with the 8-week Weight Loss work-
out. iFit workouts control the resistance of the pedals
while the voice of a personal trainer coaches you
through your workouts. iFit cards are available sepa-
rately. To purchase iFit cards, go to www.iFit.com
or see the front cover of this manual. iFit cards are
also available at select stores.
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player
to the consoleʼs sound system and listen to your
favorite music or audio books while you exercise.
To use the manual mode, see page 14. To use a
trainer workout, see page 16. To use a heart rate
workout, see page 17. To use an iFit workout, see

of clear plastic on
the metal con-
tacts on the
handgrip pulse
sensor, remove
the plastic. To
measure your heart
rate, hold the hand-
grip pulse sensor
with your palms
resting against the metal contacts. Avoid moving
your hands or gripping the contacts too tightly.

detected, a flashing
h
eart symbol will
appear in the dis-
play, and then your
heart rate will
a
ppear. For the most accurate heart rate reading,
hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds. Note: If
y
ou continue to hold the handgrip pulse sensor,
the display will show your heart rate for up to 30
seconds.
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.
6. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a

repeatedly until the
name of the
desired workout
appears in the dis-
play. The workout time and a profile of the
resistance levels for the workout will also appear
in the display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into 20, 30 or 45 one-
minute segments. One resistance level is
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
resistance level may be programmed for consecu-
tive segments.
The resistance level for the first segment will
appear in the display for a few seconds. During
the workout, the workout profile will show your
progress (see the drawing above). The flashing
segment of the profile represents the current seg-
ment of the workout. The height of the flashing
segment indicates the resistance level for the cur-
r
ent segment. At the end of each segment of the
workout, a series of tones will sound and the next
segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a differ-
ent resistance level is programmed for the next
s
egment, the resistance level will appear in the
display for a few seconds to alert you. The resis-
tance 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 Silent Magnetic Resistance
buttons. IMPORTANT: When the current seg-
ment of the workout ends, the pedals will
automatically adjust to the resistance level
programmed for the next segment.

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE WORKOUT
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the
console to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a but-
ton, a tone will sound, and the display will light.
2.
S
elect a heart rate workout.
To select a heart
rate workout, press
the desired Heart
Rate Workout but-
ton. The name of
the workout, the
workout time, and a
profile of the resis-
tance levels for the
workout will then
appear in the display.
3. Enter a maximum target heart rate setting.
A few seconds after
you select a heart
rate workout, the
number 110 will
flash in the lower
right display. Press
the increase and decrease buttons located to the
left of the Heart Rate Workout buttons to enter the
desired maximum target heart rate setting (see
EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 23).
4. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each heart rate workout is divided into 20 or 30
one-minute segments. One target heart rate is
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
target heart rate may be programmed for consecu-
tive segments.
During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The flash-
ing segment of the profile represents the current
segment of the workout. The height of the seg-
ment indicates the target heart rate for the current
segment. At the end of each segment of the work-
out, a series of tones will sound and the next
segment of the profile will begin to flash.
During a heart rate workout, the console will regu-
larly compare your heart rate to the target heart
rate for the current segment of the workout. If your
heart rate is too far below or above the target
heart rate, the resistance of the pedals will auto-
matically increase or decrease to bring your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate. Each time the
resistance changes, the resistance level will
a
ppear in the display for a few seconds to alert
you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the Silent Magnetic Resistance
buttons. Note: If you manually override the resis-
tance settings, you may not maintain your target
heart rate.
IMPORTANT: When the current segment of the
workout ends, the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance level for the next seg-
ment.
The workout will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. To stop the workout at any time,
stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will
stop counting. To restart the workout, simply
resume pedaling.
5. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor continuously during heart rate workouts;
however, you should hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor frequently for the workouts to operate properly.
Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor,
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at
least 15 seconds.
6. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 14.
7. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.

THE OPTIONAL CHEST PULSE SENSOR
The optional chest pulse sensor provides hands-free
o
peration and continuously monitors your heart rate
during your workouts. To purchase the optional
c
hest pulse sensor, see the front cover of this
manual.
INSTALLING THE RECEIVER FOR THE OPTIONAL
CHEST PULSE SENSOR
I
f you purchase the optional chest pulse sensor, follow
the steps below to install the receiver included with the
c
hest pulse sensor.
1. See assembly step 6 on page 8 and remove the
console from the upright.
2. Connect the wire on the receiver (A) to the wire in
the Console (4). Hold the receiver so that the
antenna is oriented as shown and is facing the
Console. Attach the receiver to the plastic posts
on the back of the Console with the two included

Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise cycle reg-
u
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the exercise cycle, use a damp cloth and a
small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid
d
amage to the console, keep liquids away from
the console and keep the console out of direct
sunlight.
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console display becomes dim, or if the audio
from the sound system stops intermittently, the batter-
ies should be replaced; most console problems are
the result of low batteries. See assembly step 5 on
page 8 for replacement instructions.
Note: If you use the sound system regularly, it is rec-
ommended that you purchase an optional
manufacturer-supplied AC adapter (see assembly step
5 on page 8).
If the handgrip pulse sensor does not function prop-
erly, see step 5 on page 15.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed
switch, you must first remove the left pedal and the
l
eft front shield. Using an adjustable wrench, turn the
left pedal clockwise and remove it. Next, remove all
the screws from the left and right front shields; there
are two sizes of screws in the front shields–note
which size of screw you remove from each hole.
Then, gently pull the left front shield away from the
frame.
Locate the Reed Switch (46). Turn the Pulley (29) until
a Magnet (30) is aligned with the Reed Switch. Next,
loosen, but do not remove, the indicated M4 x 16mm
Screw (57). Slide the Reed Switch slightly closer to or
away from the Magnet, and then retighten the Screw.
Turn the Pulley for a moment. Repeat these actions
until the console displays correct feedback. When the
Reed Switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the front
shields and the left pedal.

HOW TO ADJUST THE BELT
I
f 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, you
must first remove the right pedal and the right front
s
hield. Using an adjustable wrench, turn the right
pedal counterclockwise and remove it. Next, remove
a
ll the screws from the left and right front shields;
there are two sizes of screws in the front
shields–note which size of screw you remove
from each hole. Then, gently pull the right front
shield away from the frame.
Loosen, but do not remove, the three indicated screws
(A). Insert the shaft of a screwdriver downward
b
etween the Idler (B) and the Idler Pulley (38). Pull the
top of the screwdriver toward the rear of the exercise
cycle until the Drive Belt (47) is tight. Tighten the three
screws. Then, reattach the front shields and the right
p
edal.

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.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
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.
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.
Burning Fat—To 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
b
ody 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.
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.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
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.
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 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.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING:Before beginning
this or any exercise program, consult your
physician. This is especially important for
p
ersons 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.

S
UGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.
Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.
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. 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
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
tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles
tendons and ankles.
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.
5. Inner Thigh Stretch
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.
