FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
You can also use four calorie goal programs designed
to help you burn 300 or 400 calories in 25, 30, or 45-
minute workouts. The calorie goal programs automati-
cally control the resistance of the pedals and prompt
you to increase or decrease your pace while counting
the calories you burn.
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 offers a high performance program
and a heart rate control program. The high performance
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. The
heart rate control program changes the resistance of
the pedals and prompts you maintain a steady pace to
keep your heart rate near a target heart rate while you
exercise.
The console also features five interactive cross train-
ing programs designed to help you to burn calories
and enhance your cardiovascular system while toning
and strengthening your muscles. The cross training
programs automatically control the resistance of the
pedals and prompt you to perform a variety of strength
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
exercises during your workout. Choose an upper body, steps beginning on page 14. To use a cross training
lower body, or whole body cross training program to
focus your workout. Note: The strength exercises
require the use of dumbbells and an inflatable exer-
cise ball (not included). To purchase dumbbells or
an exercise ball, call 1-888-533-1333.

HOW TO USE A CROSS TRAINING PROGRAM
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 be shown in the flashing Current Segment
column and the resistance of the pedals will auto-
matically adjust to the setting for the second seg-
ment. Note: If all the indicators in the Current
Segment column are lit, the resistance settings
may move downward so that only the highest indi-
cators appear in the matrix.

intended only to provide motivation. Your actu-
al pace may be slower than the target rpm set-
tings. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is
comfortable for you.
3. 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 pro-
grammed 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.
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 ellip-
tical exerciser will automatically adjust to the
resistance setting for the next segment.
The resistance setting
for the first segment will
be shown in the flashing

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 resistance set-
ting and/or the target rpm setting will appear in the

drive belt may need to be adjusted. To adjust the drive
belt, first remove the screws from the left and right
side shields (not shown). Gently pull the side shields
apart and remove the convenience tray.
To clean the elliptical exerciser, 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.
Next, locate the Idler Screw (68) and loosen it one half
turn. Step onto the elliptical exerciser and move the
pedals. If the pedals continue to slip, turn the Idler
Screw another half turn and test the pedals again.
Continue in this way until the pedals no longer slip.
Then, replace the convenience tray and reattach the
side shields.
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. See assembly step 12 on page
11 for replacement instructions.
HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console does not display your heart rate when
you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, or if the displayed
heart rate appears to be too high or too low, see step
5 on page 15.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
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
body 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
EXERCISE INTENSITY
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.
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.
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 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.
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.

STRENGTH TRAINING GUIDELINES
To increase the size and strength of your muscles, you
must work your muscles at a level close to their maxi-
mum capacity. Your muscles will adapt and grow as
you progressively increase the amount of weight that
you use. You can tone your muscles by working them
at a moderate percentage of their capacity. The proper
amount of weight to use for each strength exercise
During strength exercises, you must maintain proper
form for the best results. Maintaining proper form
involves moving through the full range of motion for
each exercise and moving only the appropriate parts
of the body. Exercising in an uncontrolled manner will
reduce the benefits of strength exercises. On the exer- depends on you—you must gauge your limits and
cise chart accompanying this manual are photographs
showing the correct form for several strength exercis-
es.
select an appropriate amount of weight.
It is important to avoid overdoing it during the first few
months of your exercise program. Progress at your
own pace and be sensitive to your body’s signals. If
you experience pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and cool down. Find out
what is wrong before continuing. Remember that ade-
quate rest and a proper diet are important factors in
any exercise program.
Perform each repetition of each strength exercise
smoothly and without pausing. The exertion phase of
each repetition should last only about half as long as
the return phase. Proper breathing is also important.
Exhale during the exertion phase of each repetition
and inhale during the return phase—never hold your
breath.
