FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

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 console will display continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.

The console also features six interactive cross training programs designed to help you to burn calories and enhance your cardiovascular system while toning and strengthening your muscles. The cross training pro- grams automatically control the resistance of the ped- als and prompt you to perform a variety of strength exercises during your workout. Choose an upper body, lower body, or total body cross training program to focus your workout. Note: The strength exercises require the use of dumbbells and an inflatable exercise ball (not included). To purchase dumbbells or an exercise ball, call the toll-free telephone number on the front cover of this manual.

The console also offers two heart rate programs. The heart rate profile program allows you to enter a maxi- mum heart rate setting and then guides you through an effective workout by automatically changing the resis- tance of the pedals and prompting you to maintain a steady pedaling pace.

The heart rate control program allows you to enter a target heart rate and then changes the resistance of the pedals and prompts you to vary your pace to keep your heart rate near the target heart rate while you exercise.

To use the manual mode of the console, follow the steps beginning on page 13. To use a cross training program, see page 14. To use a heart rate program, see page 16.

Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove the plastic.

Begin pedaling to start the program.

Each program is divided into 25, 30, or 45 one- minute segments. One resistance setting and one target rpm (revolutions per minute) setting are programmed for most segments. (Note: The same resistance and/or target rpm setting may be pro- grammed for two or more consecutive segments.) During other segments, the console will prompt you to perform strength exercises.

The resistance setting for the first segment will appear in the flashing Current Segment column in the display. The resis-

tance settings for the next several segments will appear in the columns to the right. The target rpm setting will appear in the top of the display.

When only three seconds remain in the first seg- ment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash and a series of tones will sound. If the resistance and/or target rpm is about to change, the resis- tance setting and/or the target rpm setting will appear in the display to alert you.

14

When the first segment is completed, all resis- tance settings will move one column to the left. The resistance setting for the second segment will then appear in the flashing Current Segment column and the pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance setting for the second segment. Note: If all the indicators in the Current Segment column are lit, the resistance settings may move downward so that only the highest indicators appear in the matrix.

As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep your pedaling pace near the target rpm setting for the current segment. When the words PEDAL FASTER appear in the display, increase your pace. When the words PEDAL SLOWER appear in the display, decrease your pace. When the words PEDALING IN RANGE appear, maintain your current pace.

Important: The target rpm settings are intend- ed only to provide motivation. Your actual pace may be slower than the target rpm set- tings. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

If the resistance setting for the current segment is too high or too low, you can manually override the setting by pressing the Resistance decrease or increase buttons. Every few times you press a Resistance button, an additional indicator will appear or disappear in the Current Segment col- umn; if any of the columns to the right of the Current Segment column have the same number of lit indicators as the Current Segment column, an additional indicator may appear or disappear in those columns as well. Important: When the current segment of the program ends, the ped- als will automatically adjust to the resistance setting for the next segment.

To stop the program at any time, stop pedaling. The time will begin to flash in the display. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling.

Perform the first strength exercise when prompted.

When the first strength exercise segment begins, the name of the first strength exercise will appear in the display for a few seconds. The time will pause and flash in the display.

Next, the display will show the recommended number of repetitions for the first strength exer- cise.

Step off the elliptical exerciser and prepare to begin the first strength exercise. Every few sec- onds, the console will sound a tone; when a tone sounds, perform one repetition of the exercise. Exercise with a slow, steady motion; do not per- form more than one repetition each time a tone sounds. The display will count down the repeti- tions as you perform them.

Note: Refer to the accompanying exercise chart to see the correct form for each exercise. When performing lunges, alternate legs with each repe- tition. When performing dumbbell rows, perform half the repetitions with your right arm and half the repetitions with your left arm. The strength exercises require the use of dumbbells and an inflatable exercise ball (not included). To pur- chase dumbbells or an exercise ball, call the toll-free telephone number on the front cover of this manual.

Continue the cross training program.

When you have performed the recommended number of repetitions, the words START PEDAL- ING will appear in the display. To continue the cross training program, step onto the exerciser and start pedaling. The pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance setting for the next seg- ment.

The program will continue in this way until the last segment ends. Then, the words PROGRAM DONE will appear in the display.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

WARNING:

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.

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.

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.

Fat Burning

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative- ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.

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 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.

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.

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.
