HOW TO OPERATE THE EXERCISE CYCLE

HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT POST

For effective exer-

indicated knob counterclockwise two or three turns to

loosen it (if the knob is not loosened enough, it may

scratch the seat post). Next, pull the knob, slide the

seat post to the desired height, and then release the

knob. Move the seat post up and down slightly until

the pin on the knob snaps into one of the holes in

the seat post. Then, turn the knob clockwise until it is

tight.

adjust the seat, first

turn the indicated knob counterclockwise two or three

turns to loosen it (if the knob is not loosened enough, it

may scratch the seat bracket). Next, pull the knob,

slide the seat to the desired position, and then release

the knob. Move the seat bracket forward and back-

ward slightly until the pin on the knob snaps into

one of the holes in the seat bracket. Then, turn the

knob clockwise until it is tight.

HOW TO ADJUST THE UPRIGHT

The upright can be

adjusted to the

height that is the

most comfortable for

you. To adjust the

upright, first turn the

two or three turns to

loosen it (if the knob

is not loosened

enough, it may

scratch the upright).

Next, pull the knob,

slide the upright to

the desired height,

and then release

the knob. Move the upright up and down slightly

until the pin on the knob snaps into one of the

holes in the upright. Then, turn the knob clockwise

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

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.

The console also offers four Smart programs. Each pro-

gram automatically changes the resistance of the ped-

als and prompts you to increase or decrease your pace

as it guides you through an effective workout.

In addition, the console features two Heart Rate pro-

grams that change the resistance of the pedals and

prompt you to vary your pace to keep your heart rate

near a target heart rate as you exercise.

The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-

ogy. Having iFIT.com technology is like having a per-

sonal trainer in your home. Using a stereo audio cable

(available at electronics stores), you can connect the

exercise cycle to your home stereo, portable stereo,

computer, or VCR and play special iFIT.com CD and

video programs (iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are

available separately). iFIT.com CD and video programs

automatically control the resistance of the pedals and

prompt you to vary your pace as a personal trainer

coaches you through every step of your workout. High-

energy music provides added motivation. To purchase

iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes, call toll-free 1-

800-735-0768.

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.
