FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced 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 heart rate monitor.
The console offers twenty-two onboard workoutsj
eleven calorie workouts and eleven performance 
workouts. Each workout automatically changes the 
resistance of the pedals as it guides you through an 
effective workout. You can also set a calorie, distance, 
or time goal.
The console also features an iFit Live mode that 
enables the console to communicate with your wire-
less network through an optional iFit Live module. 
With the iFit Live mode, you can download personal-
ized workouts, create your own workouts, track your 
workout results, race against other iFit Live users, 
and access many other features. To purchase an iFit 
Live module at any time, go to www.iFit.com or call 
the telephone number on the front cover of this 
manual. 
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player 
to the console sound system and listen to your favorite 
music or audio books while you exercise.
To use the manual mode, see page 15. To use 
the sound system, see page 16. To use an 
onboard workout, see page 17. To use a set-a-
goal workout, see page 18. To use an iFit Live 
workout, see page 19. To change console set-
tings, see page 21.
Note: If there is a sheet of plastic on the display, 
remove the plastic.

rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 
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 contacts tightly. For optimal perfor-
mance, clean the contacts using a soft cloth; never 
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean 
the contacts.

button repeatedly until the desired workout appears 
in the display.
  When you select an onboard workout, the display

workout will appear in the matrix. 
  The maximum resistance level and the maximum 
speed for the workout will also appear in the 
display. 
 3.  Begin pedaling to start the workout.
  Each workout is divided into one-minute seg-
ments. One resistance level and one target speed 
is programmed for each segment. Note: The same 
resistance level and/or target speed may be pro-
grammed for consecutive segments. 
  During the 
workout, 
the profile 
on the 
speed 
tab will 
show your 
progress. 
The flashing segment of the profile represents the 
current segment of the workout. The height of the 
flashing segment indicates the target speed for the 
current 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 different resis-
tance level and/or target speed is programmed for 
the next segment, the resistance level and/or target 
speed will appear in the display for a few seconds 
to alert you. The resistance of the pedals will then 
change. 
  As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep your 
pedaling speed near the target speed for the cur-
rent segment. When an upward-pointing arrow 
appears in the display, increase your pace. When 
a downward-pointing arrow appears, decrease 
your pace. When no arrow appears, maintain 
your current pace. 
  IMPORTANT: The target speed is intended only 
to provide motivation. Your actual pedaling 
speed may be slower than the target speed. 
Make sure to pedal at a speed that is comfort-
able for you. 
  If the resistance level for the current segment is 
too high or too low, you can manually override the 
setting by pressing the Quick Resistance buttons. 
IMPORTANT: When the current segment of the 
workout ends, the pedals will automatically 
adjust to the resistance level programmed for 
the next segment.
  The workout will continue in this way until the last 
segment ends. To stop the workout at any time, 
stop pedaling. The time will flash in the display. To 
resume the workout, simply resume pedaling.
4.  Follow your progress with the display. 
  See step 4 on page 15.
5.  Measure your heart rate if desired.
  See step 5 on page 16.
6.   When you are finished exercising, the console 
will turn off automatically.
  See step 6 on page 16.

  Each workout is divided into one-minute seg-
ments. The target speed for the current segment 
will appear in the display at the beginning of each 
segment.
  As you exercise, keep your pedaling speed near 
the target speed. IMPORTANT: The target speed 
is intended only to provide motivation. Your 
actual pedaling speed may be slower than the 
target speed. Make sure to pedal at a speed that 
is comfortable for you. 
  You can manually change the resistance of the 
pedals as desired during the workout by pressing 
the Quick Resistance buttons. 
  Note: If you manually change the resistance during 
a calorie goal workout, the length of the workout 
will adjust automatically to ensure that you meet 
your calorie goal.
  Note: The calorie goal is an estimate of the 
number of calories that you will burn during 
the workout. The actual number of calories that 
you burn will depend on various factors such 
as your weight. In addition, if you manually 
change the resistance during the workout, the 
number of calories you burn will be affected.
  The workout will continue in this way until the 
calorie, distance, or time goal is reached. To pause 
the workout, stop pedaling. The time will pause in 
the display. To resume the workout, simply resume 
pedaling.
4.  Follow your progress with the display. 
  As you exercise, the calories, time, or distance 
display will count down until the desired goal is 
reached.
